Kyndryl is expanding its healthcare technology footprint as hospitals and health systems look to modernize increasingly complex IT environments with artificial intelligence. The company said it intends to acquire Healthcare IT Leaders, a healthcare IT services provider focused on consulting and application managed services, in a move that would combine Kyndryl’s infrastructure and AI capabilities…
Software quality is becoming harder to manage as enterprises move from conventional applications toward AI-assisted development, continuous delivery and increasingly autonomous software systems. Zensar Technologies is responding with a new Quality Intelligence (QI) service line designed to shift software quality from a final-stage testing function toward a predictive, AI-driven discipline that can identify risks earlier…
Search is becoming less about finding a list of websites and more about getting an answer. Viral Nation is betting that shift will create a new category of marketing infrastructure with the launch of AI Discovery, a generative engine optimization (GEO) offering designed to influence how artificial intelligence systems understand, describe and recommend brands. The…
Generative AI is becoming a routine workplace tool faster than many organizations are building rules around it. New research from leadership advisory firm idealis finds that 62% of U.S. workers now use generative AI professionally, up from 46% a year earlier, while only 40% say their employers have clear guidelines governing its use. The numbers…
Smart home platforms have spent years making connected devices easier to control, but users still often have to understand the logic behind scenes, triggers and device settings. SwitchBot is attempting to remove some of that friction with KATA AI Assistant, an LLM-powered conversational interface built into the SwitchBot App that can interpret natural-language requests and,…
Web accessibility tools are increasingly moving beyond fixed menus and automated adjustments as companies look for more intuitive ways to help people navigate digital experiences. accessiBe is taking that approach with a new AI accessibility assistant built into its accessWidget platform, allowing website visitors to request accessibility changes and information using ordinary language. Instead of…
Kubernetes is moving deeper into the AI infrastructure stack as enterprises shift from experimenting with generative AI to running inference and autonomous agents in production. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) has made that transition a central theme of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026, adding a dedicated AI Inference + Agentic track to the…
As solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles and other distributed energy resources reshape electricity networks, utilities are facing a new computing problem: critical grid decisions increasingly need to happen closer to where electricity is generated and consumed. Landis+Gyr is expanding its answer to that challenge in Australia, adding Future Grid and Operational Technology Solutions (OTS) to…
Healthcare AI is moving into a more demanding phase. The challenge is no longer simply whether artificial intelligence can identify patterns in medical data, generate clinical documentation or accelerate research. The harder question is whether those capabilities can be deployed safely and reliably across hospitals, laboratories and patient-care systems. That transition was a central theme…
