Enterprise software procurement was designed around relatively predictable units: users, licenses and subscriptions. Agentic AI is disrupting that assumption. A single employee prompt can trigger tool calls, model switches, retries, background APIs and multi-agent tasks—turning an apparently simple interaction into a chain of potentially billable events. The rise of agentic AI is creating a new…
The consumer journey is beginning to change at the point where brands have traditionally fought hardest for attention: the moment shoppers decide what to consider. New research from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) suggests that artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming a trusted intermediary between consumers and brands, with 31% of surveyed consumers already using AI during…
Autonomous-driving development is increasingly becoming a data and computing problem as much as a software problem. At Automotive World 2026, TIER IV plans to demonstrate an integrated software-defined vehicle (SDV) development workflow that connects automated driving-data labeling, end-to-end AI model development and in-vehicle computing. The demonstration will combine the company’s Co-MLOps platform, a reference end-to-end…
Legal AI is increasingly moving beyond document summarization and generic chatbots toward systems designed around specific legal jurisdictions. Ask.Legal is expanding into Australia and Singapore, extending its jurisdiction-specific legal analysis platform across four common-law markets: Hong Kong, England and Wales, Singapore, and Australia. The move targets a segment often underserved by enterprise legal-AI platforms: smaller…
AI data centers are becoming some of the fastest-growing electricity consumers in the world, but a new demonstration in Texas suggests their computing workloads could also become a grid-management tool. Luxor Energy and Bentaus say they have successfully used real-time ERCOT signals to reduce the power consumption of an AI inference GPU in less than…
LG Electronics is turning artificial intelligence into a measurement layer for corporate communications. Its PRISM AI platform, which analyzes global media data using large language models, deep learning and AI agents, has won the Best AI Tool or Product category at the 2026 IN2 SABRE Awards Asia-Pacific. The platform is also a finalist in the…
Google Cloud and Verizon are expanding their AI partnership with a strategy that goes well beyond customer-service chatbots. The companies say Verizon will deploy Google Cloud’s data infrastructure, Gemini Enterprise and AI agents across customer experience, network operations, marketing, security and employee productivity—an approach that reflects the industry’s shift from isolated generative AI pilots toward…
As Australian organizations accelerate artificial intelligence adoption, cybersecurity teams are facing a parallel challenge: securing new AI workloads without adding another layer of operational complexity. Inspira Enterprise is expanding into Australia with a portfolio spanning cyber resilience, identity security, AI governance, cloud security and managed detection and response. The move reflects a wider shift in…
The enterprise AI market is entering a more demanding phase: organizations are being asked to prove that artificial intelligence can move beyond pilots and deliver measurable operational results. AIMX Singapore 2026 will bring business leaders, policymakers, researchers and technology companies from more than 60 countries to Singapore to examine that transition, with discussions spanning AI…
