The US-China AI gap closed. The responsible AI gap didn’t
The assumption that the US holds a durable lead in AI model performance is not well-supported by the data, and that is just one of the uncomfortable findings in Stanford University’s 2026 AI Index Report, published this week. The report, produced by Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence, is a 423-page annual assessment of where […]

Companies expand AI adoption while keeping control
Many companies are taking a slower, more controlled approach to autonomous systems as AI adoption grows. Rather than deploying systems that act on their own, they are focusing on tools that assist human decision-making while keeping tight control over outputs. This approach is especially clear in sectors where errors carry real financial or legal risk. […]

Microsoft open-source toolkit secures AI agents at runtime
A new open-source toolkit from Microsoft focuses on runtime security to force strict governance onto enterprise AI agents. The release tackles a growing anxiety: autonomous language models are now executing code and hitting corporate networks way faster than traditional policy controls can keep up. AI integration used to mean conversational interfaces and advisory copilots. Those […]

As AI agents take on more tasks, governance becomes a priority
AI systems are starting to move beyond simple responses. In many organisations, AI agents are now being tested to plan tasks, make decisions, and carry out actions with limited human input. It is no longer just about whether a model gives the right answer. It is about what happens when that model is allowed to […]

KiloClaw targets shadow AI with autonomous agent governance
With the launch of KiloClaw, enterprises now have a tool to enforce governance over autonomous agents and manage shadow AI. While businesses spent the last year securing large language models and formalising vendor agreements, developers and knowledge workers started moving on their own. Employees are bypassing official procurement, deploying autonomous agents on personal infrastructure to […]

AI agents enter banking roles at Bank of America
AI agents are starting to take on a more direct role in how financial advice is delivered, as large banks move beyond internal tools and into systems that support real client interactions. Bank of America is now deploying an internal AI-powered advisory platform to a subset of financial advisors, rolled out to around 1,000 financial […]

Automating complex finance workflows with multimodal AI
Finance leaders are automating their complex workflows by actively adopting powerful new multimodal AI frameworks. Extracting text from unstructured documents presents a frequent headache for developers. Historically, standard optical character recognition systems failed to accurately digitise complex layouts, frequently converting multi-column files, pictures, and layered datasets into an unreadable mess of plain text. The varied […]
