In environments ranging from construction sites to university campuses to legal and retail operations, IT leaders are putting generative AI assistants to work — and discovering how to make them drive productivity. In this article, we focus on Microsoft 365 Copilot, examining real-world experiences that reveal both the promise and the pitfalls of the AI

Chinese startup DeepSeek has released its largest AI model to date, a 685-billion-parameter model that industry observers say could intensify competition with US players.

Despite the quiet rollout, early benchmark results reportedly suggest the model performs

Microsoft has issued fixes for a pair of troublesome bugs introduced with its August 2025 Patch Tuesday cumulative security updates.

With AI software increasingly hogging the enterprise spotlight, companies and investors are spending like never before. In the first half of 2025, AI startups raised over $44 billion, more than all of 2024 combined.

One of the pioneers of artificial intelligence at Google is warning the potential doctors and lawyers of tomorrow that AI might steal their futures. In an interview with Business Insider, Jad Tarifi — the 42-year-old founder of Google’s first generative AI team who left in 2021 to found his own startup, Integral AI — suggested that

Nvidia is working on a new AI chip for China that could be stronger than the H20 model it currently sells there, according to people familiar with the plans, Reuters reported. The chip will be based on the company’s latest Blackwell design. Last week, US President Donald Trump suggested that more advanced Nvidia chips might
