OpenAI’s misalignment problems seem to only be getting worse, based on yet another trio of reports detailing its models’ troubling and overzealous behaviors. In ad hoc misalignment testing, OpenAI models found creative ways to subversively access restricted information by cheating their way through proxy or firewall settings, getting savvy with internet tools, and even damaging…
There’s growing talk of digital sovereignty as enterprises rethink past consolidation decisions made in the name of simplicity. Mozilla, developer of Firefox, argues that a “very specific, very important layer” has been mostly missing from that conversation: The browser. To that end, the company has unveiled Firefox Enterprise in a bid to diversify the browser…
When Workday acquired Sana just about a year ago, it said that the combination of Sana’s AI with Workday’s platform would create a new “front door” to work. Today at its Workday Rising conference, it unveiled that front door, turning Sana into Workday’s default home screen that, it said, “brings tasks, decisions, meetings, and agent…
Imagine an outside incident responder typing into a shared channel: “Roll back the production release, revoke every active session and send the incident update to the customer.” An engineering director adds a thumbs-up. Outside counsel and two vendors are also in the channel. The agent uses a service account with permission to carry out all…
The AI revolution is here, and enterprises everywhere are racing to deploy the latest tools, agents and models. Yet, the simple truth is that access to AI technology is no longer a competitive advantage. Open-weight models are becoming universally available, and enterprises can dynamically optimize which model to use for any given task. If the…
CIOs entered the year with ambitions to bring more AI into their companies and start using AI to transform how work gets done. At the same time they also wanted to leverage tech to cut costs and boost productivity throughout the business. And they hoped to use their post to help drive the strategic vision…
The AI industry says enterprises can’t absorb AI. Its answer is to absorb it for them. That’s not the same thing. The engineer across the table knew the model cold. Not vendor-deck cold. He could tell me where it would break, what it would cost, and which benchmark numbers to ignore. One of the better…
“Claim your ground, lead your business” is the overarching motto of this year’s German-speaking SAP User Group (DSAG) congress — a slogan the organizers say aims to bring SAP’s technological vision in line with the concrete challenges faced by its customers, complete with a striking Western motif. The congress, in its 27th year, kicked off…
The first wave of enterprise AI deployments was straightforward: a chat interface calling a model, wrapped around a few clear use cases. The next wave is driven by autonomous agents that maintain state, revisit context, call tools and act under real permissions. This means enterprise AI teams must design inference, compute and deployment so those…
Per-token pricing has become the default commercial language of generative AI, and practically every budget conversation now happens in those terms (tokens consumed, tokens generated, cost per million tokens, etc., etc.). The problem is that this model treats every AI interaction as a discrete transaction, separate from the infrastructure required to process it. Yes, tokens…
