The AI…
As companies move AI agents from experimental copilots into systems that can access enterprise data and perform real-world tasks, the industry’s biggest challenges are shifting from model capability to infrastructure, security and control. AGNTCon + MCPCon Japan 2026, scheduled for September 10–11 in Tokyo, will bring developers and enterprise engineering teams together to examine how…
LG Electronics is applying artificial intelligence to a part of corporate operations that has historically relied heavily on human judgment: measuring the impact of public relations. The company’s PRISM AI platform has won the Best AI Tool or Product category at the 2026 IN2 SABRE Awards Asia-Pacific, while also becoming a finalist in the Consumer…
Drone manufacturers are being asked to put increasingly sophisticated AI into smaller, lighter and more power-constrained systems. SiMa.ai and AVerMedia are targeting that engineering challenge with a production-ready hardware platform combining SiMa.ai’s Modalix MLSoC with AVerMedia’s industrial embedded hardware, delivering up to 50 TOPS of AI compute under 10 watts, according to the companies. AI-enabled…
Australia’s push to keep critical AI workloads onshore is gaining another infrastructure layer. SCX.ai and DDN have partnered to combine ASIC-accelerated AI inference infrastructure with DDN’s Infinia data platform, targeting Australian enterprises, government agencies and research organizations that need high-throughput AI without sending models, workloads or data offshore. Australia’s sovereign AI ambitions are increasingly becoming…
