Artificial intelligence is becoming less of an experiment in enterprise IT and more of a standard component of transformation programs. A 2026 study from Natuvion and NTT DATA Business Solutions, surveying more than 1,100 executives and IT specialists across 15 countries, found that 76% have already used AI in IT transformation projects. Yet the research…
The next bottleneck for enterprise AI in life sciences may not be access to foundation models. It may be the people who can actually deploy them. Axtria plans to expand its Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) organization to 1,000 engineers by December 2026, betting that pharmaceutical companies increasingly need specialists who understand both AI engineering and…
Kirin Holdings is moving generative AI beyond document automation and search with an experiment that places AI agents directly inside the scientific research process. Working with Japanese AI consulting firm GenerativeX, Kirin has begun deploying an AI-native research environment in selected research divisions, designed to support everything from hypothesis generation and literature searches to brainstorming,…
The latest wave of AI software builders is making it easier for non-engineers to create applications, but a familiar concern is emerging alongside the convenience: vendor lock-in. Marlow AI, a portfolio company in which NameSilo Technologies holds an approximately 36% stake, has launched the beta of an AI software creation platform designed to let users…
Artificial intelligence is moving deeper into medical imaging, shifting from standalone diagnostic software toward AI capabilities embedded directly in scanners and clinical workflows. A new market analysis from ResearchAndMarkets.com projects the global AI-enabled imaging modalities market will grow from $3.41 billion in 2025 to $17.84 billion by 2036, as hospitals increasingly use AI to improve…
Commercial cleaning robots have traditionally been designed around large floors and relatively predictable environments. Pudu Robotics is taking the technology in a smaller direction with the PUDU ET1, an AI-native compact scrubber-dryer designed for spaces of roughly 100 to 800 square meters. The company says the new robot combines autonomous cleaning, adaptive AI, automated docking…
Building an AI data center is becoming a race against more than GPU availability. Power, cooling, networking, site readiness and software orchestration can all determine how quickly a workload reaches production. RAVEL and Strata Expanse are now trying to shorten that cycle with the first commercial deployment of their AMPHIX AI Infrastructure Platform, with RT-One…
Oticon is introducing Oticon Reveal, a hearing aid built around what the company describes as a Dual AI architecture that simultaneously enhances speech and preserves surrounding contextual sounds. The launch reflects a broader shift in hearing technology toward AI systems designed to process complex acoustic environments rather than simply suppress background noise. Hearing aids have…
Ryanair is putting generative AI deeper into airline operations under a new five-year partnership with Google Cloud, deploying Gemini Enterprise and Google Workspace to 35,000 employees as the carrier prepares to scale toward 300 million passengers annually by 2034. For an airline, adding AI to the corporate technology stack is less about generating polished text…
