STAMFORD, Conn., February 9, 2026 — Worldwide sovereign cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) spending is forecast to total $80 billion in 2026, a 35.6% increase from 2025, according to Gartner, Inc. a business and technology insights company. “As geopolitical tensions rise, organizations outside the U.S. and China are investing more in sovereign cloud IaaS…
ai.com, a new AI platform founded by Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com, today unveiled its first major product: autonomous AI agents for consumers. Unlike conventional chatbots or copilots, these agents are designed to act independently—organizing work, sending messages, executing tasks across apps, and even building new capabilities when existing ones fall short.
That’s the central takeaway from the 2026 AI Adoption & Risk Report, released today by Cyberhaven Labs, which analyzes billions of real-world data movements across generative AI SaaS tools, endpoint AI applications, and emerging AI agents. The findings paint a picture that’s both familiar and unsettling: AI is becoming deeply embedded in daily work, but visibility, governance, and data protection are lagging badly behind.
Dyna.Ai, a global provider of AI solutions, announced an exclusive partnership with Saudi-based IT services firm ejada Systems to support the deployment of production-grade AI agents across Saudi Arabia’s call center ecosystem. The collaboration is aimed squarely at operational scale—moving AI from experimentation into live, high-volume service environments where reliability, governance, and measurable outcomes matter.
The Beijing-based company announced early progress in its international expansion, securing partnerships with insurers in Hong Kong and the Middle East to deploy its AI-powered claims and risk management solutions. While the deals are still at an early stage, they mark Nova’s first concrete steps in taking production-grade insurance AI beyond its domestic market.
The two companies announced a strategic partnership aimed at helping organizations modernize and secure AI-driven development workflows across large-scale, hybrid cloud environments. The focus isn’t experimentation or pilots—it’s production-grade AI development that works inside the constraints of regulated, security-sensitive enterprises.
Hybrid work is no longer an experiment—it’s the default. Yet the tools used to run meetings, town halls, and live events haven’t fully caught up. Too many hybrid events still rely on static layouts, manual switching, expensive hardware, and specialized production teams. AI Producer believes that gap is the next big opportunity in enterprise collaboration—and it’s backing that belief with an unusually large patent portfolio.
The lidar specialist announced it has closed its acquisition of StereoLabs, an AI vision and perception company best known for its widely used ZED stereo cameras. The deal, finalized on February 4, 2026, gives Ouster what it’s calling Physical AI’s first unified sensing and perception platform, combining digital lidar, stereo cameras, AI compute, sensor fusion, and perception software under one roof.
SentinelOne is betting that the next phase of enterprise security starts much earlier in the AI lifecycle. The company announced an expansion of its AI Security Platform with new Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) capabilities designed to protect AI systems from data ingestion through runtime execution. The move positions SentinelOne to tackle one of the most persistent—and irreversible—risks in AI adoption: what happens when sensitive or high-risk data enters AI pipelines in the first place.
