For all the possibilities AI gives us, there is always a chance of the technology malfunctioning or becoming compromised. In the event of an AI system crisis, new research from ISACA has found that the majority of organisations surveyed couldn’t explain how quickly they could stop an AI system emergency, or even report on what caused the issue.According to ISACA’s report, 59% of digital trust professionals didn’t understand how quickly their organisation could interrupt and halt an AI system during a security incident. Just 21% reported that they could meaningfully step in in half an hour. The indicates a landscape…

In an interview with Artificial Lawyer, Paris-based AI-native consulting firm owner, Olivier Chaduteau, set out a three-part account of the current state of AI in the legal sector. At first, lawyers dismissed AI as irrelevant to expert work. In the second, organisations bought licences to LLMs to signal activity to partners and/or clients, but little else. He says the market has now entered a third stage, in which firms understand it’s time to engage with the AI tools at their disposal. Chaduteau said to engage with AI on an operational level, firms should focus on change management, choosing the right…

At the Google Cloud Next conference, Google and NVIDIA outlined their hardware roadmap designed to address the cost of AI inference at scale.The companies detailed the new A5X bare-metal instances, which run on NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale systems. Through hardware and software codesign, this architecture aims to deliver up to ten times lower inference cost per token compared to previous generations, while concurrently achieving ten times higher token throughput per megawatt.Connecting thousands of processors requires massive bandwidth to prevent processing delays. The A5X instances address this hardware challenge by pairing NVIDIA ConnectX-9 SuperNICs with Google Virgo networking technology.This configuration…

To stop automation waste, enterprises must deploy interaction infrastructure that physically governs how independent AI agents operate.AI agents now populate corporate networks, reasoning through tasks and executing decisions with increasing autonomy. Yet, when these independent actors attempt to coordinate work, exchange context, or operate across varied cloud environments, the interaction framework degrades quickly. Human operators find themselves acting as the manual glue between disconnected systems, managing fragile integrations while the rules dictating permissions and data sharing remain implicit.Band, a startup based in Tel Aviv and San Francisco, has exited stealth mode with a $17 million seed round to address this…
