A new report by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), “AI at Work 2025: Momentum Builds, But Gaps Remain,” reveals a growing divide in how companies are capturing value from AI. While 72% of workers globally now use AI regularly, only a select group of organizations are seeing transformational impact—those that are rethinking how work gets done rather than merely rolling out tools.
The AI Alliance, a global non-profit consortium championing open-source AI, today announced major new initiatives aimed at redefining how software and intelligent agents are built. The launch includes:
Apollo GraphQL today announced a major update to its GraphOS platform, delivering AI-focused enhancements aimed at accelerating agentic application development. With new features in the Apollo MCP Server, REST Connectors, and developer-friendly subscription plans, Apollo positions GraphQL as a foundational technology for building and orchestrating modern AI applications.
Artificial intelligence may be the world’s best bet against infrastructure collapse in a climate-challenged future. According to a new report by the Deloitte Center for Sustainable Progress, AI-powered systems could prevent up to $70 billion in infrastructure losses annually by 2050—if adopted strategically by global leaders.
Supply chains may be the backbone of modern commerce, but much of the actual logistics work is still stuck in the Stone Age of spreadsheets, phone calls, and email chains. Enter BackOps AI, a startup that just raised $6 million in seed funding to drag supply chain ops into the automation era—without requiring a complete tech overhaul.
Move over sticky notes—AI is now just as common as team collaboration when it comes to analyzing research. A new global study by user research platform Lyssna reveals that 54.7% of research professionals are using AI-assisted tools to help synthesize findings—virtually tying with traditional collaboration (55.0%) as the top method of turning feedback into insights.
India’s largest school lunch program just got a major digital upgrade. In a groundbreaking collaboration, Automation Anywhere and The Akshaya Patra Foundation are using AI-powered automation to overhaul how one of India’s most vital social impact organizations delivers its mission—feeding millions of children daily through the government-backed PM POSHAN program.
Infinitus Systems, the voice AI platform behind more than 100 million minutes of healthcare conversations, just leveled up its partnership with Salesforce. The expanded collaboration integrates Infinitus’s purpose-built AI voice agents directly into Salesforce Health Cloud and Life Sciences Cloud via MuleSoft and Agentforce—giving healthcare organizations a smarter way to handle one of their biggest pain points: administrative phone work.
RepRisk, a longtime leader in ESG and reputational risk data, is ramping up its AI game—and fast. The Zurich-based data-as-a-service (DaaS) firm just announced it’s hiring 30 full-time staffers to spearhead a new wave of innovation in agentic AI delivery and data integration. The move underscores RepRisk’s aggressive push to modernize how enterprises interact with high-precision risk intelligence—moving from static APIs to dynamic, goal-driven data products powered by large language model (LLM) agents.
