MIT spinout challenges the big model approach with tiny task-specific AI
Liquid AI's new device-based models create different licensing rules for startups versus enterprises, potentially changing how teams approach AI procurement and data residency decisions.
Spec-driven development emerges as answer to AI coding complexity
This approach turns AI from a code generator into a more reliable development partner—one that builds what you actually need.
AI agents surge in consumer-facing industries as adoption jumps 119%
Consumer industries lead 119% surge in AI agents as retail, travel see 128-133% monthly growth in automation—changing competitive landscape for product teams
Travel's agentic AI moment is arriving slower than the headlines suggest

Non-human identities are multiplying faster than security teams can track them
Non-human identities outnumber humans 80:1 in many orgs, but most teams lack visibility into AI agents' permissions, ownership, or lifecycle management—creating major governance gaps.
Your AI Is a Black Box- Here Are 3 Keys to Unlock It
By demanding useful explanations, installing human failsafes, and requiring clear "nutrition labels" for our AI, we can begin to pry open the black box.
