Jamf has a new CEO: former CTO Beth Tschida. She succeeds previous CEO John Strosahl, who himself replaced Dean Hager on his retirement. Tschida has served as interim CEO since March. Jamf-using IT pros should be pleased. Tschida is an engineer who joined the company in 2018 as senior vice president, engineering and became CTO four years later. She has led the company’s expansion into security as well as its ongoing mission in device management. She takes the helm as device management, and IT more generally, struggle with the potential and the peril of artificial intelligence deployment across industry. ‘We are making AI work on Apple’ “Over the last eight years, I’ve had the privilege of working with an exceptional team to build the leading platform for managing and securing Apple at work,” said Tschida in a statement. “Now, AI is reshaping how organizations work, and we are making AI work on Apple. We’re building autonomous management so devices manage themselves within boundaries, o

Apple has confirmed this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will take place June 8-12. The show begins with a keynote speech likely to be Tim Cook’s final public appearance as Apple’s CEO. His successor, John Ternus, will also be in the spotlight, but perhaps not quite as much as Apple’s promised smart Siri successor. Getting AI right is incredibly important to the company this year, and Apple seems to recognize that. The official media invitation features a brightly glowing Swift logo with the tagline “Coming Bright Up,” which some see as a hint at the advanced AI capabilities Apple intends making available. It also hints at the new Siri user interface Apple is building, while the use of a Swift suggests the introduction of additional Foundation Models with which developers can add AI tools to their products. On the developer website, Apple’s media images all show that bright glow, which also hints at potential improvements to Liquid Glass. There’s no doubt at all that the
Apple is realizing real business benefits as it builds a circular manufacturing process across the company. Manufactured using recycled materials and renewable energy, the popular new MacBook Neo is a great illustration of this. Apple says the Neo is manufactured using 45% renewable electricity and holds 60% recycled materials by weight. That recycling includes 90% recycled aluminium and 100% recycled cobalt in the battery. e-Waste becomes input The high-quality enclosure is made through a process in which durable recycled aluminum is pressed into near-final shape using just half the raw material of traditional machining. Apple even leaned into corporate social responsibility when it came to the A18 chip it puts inside these systems, as it originally used ‘binned’ processors originally intended for the iPhone 16 Pro to drive the five core A18. These were rejected processors Apple had in hand anyway, and while it has had to order additional chips to cope with demand for the MacBook A

The race to production-ready agentic AI is on — but for most enterprises, the finish line keeps moving. Models get built, pilots get run, and then teams hit a wall: the infrastructure, security, governance, and operational requirements for running AI agents at enterprise scale are far more complex than any single tool or vendor anticipated....

The trend shows no sign of slowing. McKinsey’s latest The State of AI report suggests that 88% of organizations now use AI in at least one business function. As adoption expands, so too will experimentation and tool creation — much of it occurring outside traditional IT processes and often beyond formal oversight. For IT leaders, the implications are significant. They are no longer managing a closed, centrally controlled environment, but one where technology can emerge anywhere, spread rapidly, and influence core business processes in ways that are difficult to predict or contain. “Shadow usage is dramatically outpacing production,” said Chris Drumgoole, president of global infrastructure services at IT service provider DXC Technology. In many organizations, unofficial AI usage already exceeds sanctioned deployments by several multiples. Worse, he said, IT teams often have very little visibility into where and how these tools are being used. From rollout to invisible adoption What’s ha
