Artificial intelligence is moving from pilot projects to core business systems inside large companies. One example comes from JPMorgan Chase, where rising AI investment is helping push the bank’s technology budget toward about US$19.8 billion in 2026.The spending plan reflects a broader shift among large enterprises. AI is no longer treated as a small research project. Instead, companies are embedding it in areas such as risk analysis, fraud detection, and customer service.For business leaders watching how AI adoption is changing enterprise technology strategies, the numbers from JPMorgan highlight a larger trend: AI is becoming part of the everyday systems that…

AI agents prefer Bitcoin for digital wealth storage, forcing finance chiefs to adapt their architecture for machine autonomy.When AI systems gain economic autonomy, their internal logic dictates how corporate capital flows. Non-partisan research by the Bitcoin Policy Institute evaluated how these frontier models would transact if operating as independent economic actors.The study tested 36 models from six providers – including Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI – across 9,072 neutral monetary scenarios. Given a blank slate, machines chose Bitcoin in 48.3 percent of all responses, beating every other option.Traditional state-backed currency (“fiat”) fared poorly, with over 90 percent of responses favouring digitally-native…

There is a particular kind of momentum in the technology industry that announces itself not through a single breakthrough, but through the simultaneous convergence of many. Physical AI is having that moment right now–and paying attention to where it is coming from, and why, tells you more than any single product launch can.The term itself–physical AI–is simple enough. It describes AI systems that don’t just process data or generate content, but perceive, reason, and act in the real world–robots, autonomous vehicles, machines that adapt. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called it “the ChatGPT moment for robotics” at CES in January–a deliberate…

Artificial intelligence is no longer just powering defensive cybersecurity tools, it is reshaping the entire threat landscape. AI is accelerating reconnaissance, improving the realism of phishing, automating malware mutation, and enabling adaptive attack techniques. At the same time, enterprises are embedding AI agents, copilots, and generative AI tools into everyday workflows.That dual dynamic has created a new category: AI security.AI security platforms focus on three primary challenges in 2026:Securing enterprise AI usage and prompt interactionsProtecting AI models, agents, and infrastructureDefending against AI-powered cyber threatsBelow are five of the strongest AI security solutions in 2026.Check Point – AI-driven securityCheck Point integrates…

The adoption of physical AI drives ROI in frontline customer service by merging digital intelligence with human-like physical interaction.As businesses navigate shrinking labour pools, they are finding that simply automating routine workflows is no longer enough. A new partnership between KDDI and AVITA demonstrates how companies can address complex operational gaps through humanoid deployment.While traditional industrial robots excel at repetitive, single-function tasks, they lack the versatility required to manage unexpected anomalies like equipment failures. Customer-facing roles demand nonverbal communication, including synchronised nodding, natural eye contact, and reassuring facial expressions. By integrating AVITA’s avatar creation expertise with KDDI’s communications infrastructure, the two…

Kathmandu, Nepal – As Nepal heads for a crucial parliamentary election on March 5, the Himalayan country’s established parties are fighting not just for votes, but also for legitimacy.That legitimacy was challenged in September last year when thousands of young Nepalis hit the streets, demanding that an ageing old guard, which has dominated Nepal’s politics for two decades, step down.Recommended Stories list of 4 itemsend of listTriggered by a social media ban, the Gen Z-led protests soon turned into a wider uprising over a stagnant economy and corruption among the governing elite, forcing 74-year-old Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to…
