The rise of agentic AI is reshaping how organizations think about automation and how it puts them on the path to becoming fully autonomous enterprises. Agentic AI transforms the traditional IT model by shifting routine task execution from humans to intelligent systems capable of independently managing workflows. For example, it’s already proving effective in customer…
US President Donald Trump on Monday signed a pair of executive orders aimed at accelerating the federal government’s transition to post-quantum cryptography while expanding US investment in quantum technologies, establishing what the administration describes as a coordinated strategy to prepare for the opportunities and risks posed by quantum computing. The actions include an executive order,…
Ingeniero, exdirectivo bancario de primerísimo nivel, académico español… Sin duda, José María Fuster van Bendegem es uno de los perfiles más polifacéticos e interesantes del escenario de la tecnología, la empresa y la ciencia en España. Conocido por haber sido, en el pasado, uno de los CIO más relevantes no solo de España sino del…
The question every board, CEO and CIO must answer in 2026 isn’t whether to use AI. It’s whether to use AI to improve what you have, or to start again.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of AWS — and my 20th year building at Amazon. My entire career is for the sole purpose of making developers’ lives easier. As a developer, it is a bit of a self-serving purpose. For example, I was constantly distracted by operating databases, so I joined the DynamoDB team…
A group of academics recently asked me, “In the technology space, how much do you need to know today to be considered not ignorant?” Both philosophers (the folks who study knowledge) and cognitive scientists (the folks who study the acquisition and application of knowledge) agree that the base of knowledge required to remain relevant in…
Due to the rapid evolution of generative AI in recent years, many companies are accelerating their adoption of AI. Specifically, the scope of AI’s integration into day-to-day operations is steadily expanding, covering tasks such as minute-taking, summarization, searching, responding to inquiries, and drafting documents — all of which are typically performed by white-collar workers in…
For all its potential, generative AI, on the whole, churns out a lot of junk. Yet employees are becoming ever more reliant on this “workslop” masquerading as high-quality material, says a recent Harvard Business Review blog. They become lazy and less productive, quality control goes off the rails, and integrity and trust begin to erode.…
