A true agentic enterprise requires a fabric that connects goals to workflows, workflows to agents, agents to data and systems, and every action to governance.
Readers respond to an article by Nesrine Malik on what we lose when we trust machines over humans
Nesrine Malik is right to worry about the effect that AI may have on writing (AI is devoid of meaning and humanity. That’s why its vapid voice suits this political moment, 1 June). The examples she cites of fabricated quotations and unreliable research should concern anyone who values truth and public trust.
However, I suspect the deeper problem is not AI’s bland prose but its relationship to evidence. The writers caught out by false quotations were often not trying to deceive. They believed that they were using AI as a research aid while retaining editorial control. Yet somehow, fiction entered the factual record. The issue was not laziness but misplaced confidence in a system that can produce plausible reconstructions without distinguishing between what was observed, inferred or simply generated.

Charles Hoskinson warned that Cardano could face a broader “wave of failures” across its ecosystem after TapTools said it is preparing to wind down operations over the next two weeks, citing leadership departures and difficult platform economics. The June 2 livestream marked one of Hoskinson’s sharpest public interventions on Cardano’s current governance and commercialization debate. […]
Insider Brief Autonomous ground robotics startup Shifters has raised $10.2 million in seed funding to expand development of AI-powered robotic teams designed for defense, security and other high-risk environments. According to Shifters, funding will be used to expand the company’s agentic AI capabilities, accelerate manufacturing readiness and support growth across its operations in the United […]
As syntax becomes cheap and abundant, architectural control becomes the scarce resource. Effective governance starts upstream, where intent, constraints, and threat models shape the agent’s working context before generation begins. The goal isn’t better prompting but build-time boundaries that prevent structurally invalid code from entering the system. The Frankenstein factories The dark factories (as Dan […]
Microsoft’s Majorana 2 quantum chip arrived this week with numbers that are genuinely difficult to contextualise: qubits 1,000 times more reliable than the first generation, a mean qubit lifetime of 20 seconds against an industry norm measured in microseconds, and a revised roadmap targeting a commercially scalable quantum computer by 2029. Behind those numbers is Microsoft Discovery […]
The post Microsoft’s Majorana 2 quantum chip is also a case study for agentic AI in R&D appeared first on AI News.
The agentic AI moment has arrived, but delivering on its promise requires more than good models. It also takes fast hardware, secure runtimes, a responsive data layer and models tuned for long-running reasoning. NVIDIA and Microsoft are bringing that full stack to developers across Windows devices, Azure cloud and local deployments. At Microsoft Build, NVIDIA […]
