Siobhan Kwiecien, director of HR Process Enablement at pharma and biotech company Thermo Fisher Scientific, has spent the past year working to embed generative AI (genAI) into her company’s internal chatbots. “And that’s been quite a road,” she said. The consumption...
Sometimes, the best way to look something up is to provide an image of what you’re thinking about rather than trying to describe it. Android phones offer a convenient “Circle to Search” feature, which is now integrated with Google’s Gemini AI assistant. You can get...
Fair warning: The tip you’re about to ingest has nothing to do with any of the fancy-schmancy, accuracy-challenged AI ballyhoo that dominates most tech news coverage at the moment. Nope — it’s just a good old-fashioned utilitarian upgrade for your favorite Android...
AI builders are starving for agentic integrated development environments (IDEs), which help developers code more efficiently and thus, ideally, speed up production. And nowhere has this been more apparent than in the tug-of-war over Windsurf. In the latest development, AI...

As I’ve noted before, it will take the better part of a decade for Apple or anyone else to manufacture smartphones in mass market quantities in the US. Getting there requires huge investments to solve big problems, including training, manufacturing, component sourcing, ...
The relationship between Microsoft and OpenAI, once the biggest bromance in the tech industry, has deteriorated so badly that the companies are now mulling taking “nuclear options” against one another — actions that could seriously damage both companies. At issue...

The US Department of Defense’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) on Monday announced it had awarded contracts worth up to $200 million each to four leading generative AI (genAI) companies to develop AI capabilities needed for “critical national...
This morning, I found an interesting Canalys report shared by analyst Runar Bjorhovde that shows — despite everything Apple does— people still don’t seem to think iPhones are all that durable. That’s strange, given how much cash Apple spends improving iPhone...
In a dramatic reversal that has sent shockwaves through the AI industry, Google has recruited the top executives of AI coding startup Windsurf in a $2.4 billion talent acquisition deal, just two months after Windsurf agreed to be acquired by OpenAI for $3 billion. Google...
Back in 1933, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt told the country, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Those were inspiring words for a nation in the throes of the Great Depression — but terrible advice for an IT executive struggling to decide whether to...
In the latest episode of First Person I spoke with Emma Philpott MBE. In a varied career Emma has been an academic, cyber security expert and business leader, and today she is founder and leader of a UK-based cyber security certification company. In a wide and fun chat Emma...
Support for IT support Agentic AI is revolutionizing the approach by a range of organizations to IT support. Many IT leaders agree with this week’s CIO columnist that the future is agentic AI that solves problems before they are even reported. He argued that it’s time...

With 133 patches in its Patch Tuesday update this month, Microsoft delivered a big, broad and important release that requires a Patch Now plan for Windows, Microsoft Office and SQL Server. A zero-day (CVE-2025-49719) in SQL Server requires urgent action, as do Git extensions ...
Everytime anyone says there’s no innovation left at Apple, I think of the big innovation that made so much of the technology we take for granted possible back in 1895, when Guglielmo Marconi successfully transmitted a radio signal over two miles. After all, if...
Experienced developers can take 19% longer to complete tasks when using popular AI assistants like Cursor Pro and Claude, challenging the tech industry’s prevailing narrative about AI coding tools, according to a comprehensive new study. The research, conducted by Model...
Microsoft’s Outlook service suffered a massive global disruption on Wednesday, leaving millions of users unable to access email through Outlook.com, Outlook for desktop, and Outlook mobile. In a series of updates posted on X through the official account of Microsoft 365...
Enterprise IT has been waging a difficult battle against generative AI (genAI) bots and crawlers, and banning some crawlers has simply not worked. That’s led to both data leakage and painful out-of-pocket bandwidth costs. Cloudflare is one of the few companies that has...
We’re all so busy that it’s tempting to wish for a digital clone to share the workload. And now, thanks to AI, you can. Many people are embracing generative AI (genAI) tools to make a clone or digital twin of themselves that can speak and even interact on their...
