This week in New York, my Oracle team ran workshops for enterprise developers on building retrieval-augmented generation and agentic applications. Interest was so strong that we quickly had to figure out how to double the room’s capacity (much to the fire marshal’s chagrin). Interest in AI was clearly off the charts. But AI fluency was not. It was a different vibe (and audience) from what we’ve seen in a course we built with DeepLearning.ai, which attracts a more advanced audience ready to build memory-aware agents. I recently argued that enterprise AI is arriving unevenly across companies and even across teams within the same company. But after watching developers plow through these different workshops, I believe this uneven adoption points to something even more telling: uneven engineering capability. Put differently, the real divide in enterprise AI isn’t just between companies moving fast and companies moving slow. It’s between teams treating AI as a prompt-driven demo and teams le
Read full articleOracle’s abrupt termination of an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 employees via email on March 31 has sparked significant employee pushback over what many regarded as inadequate severance. The company offered four weeks of base pay plus one additional week per year of service, capped at 26 weeks, but crucially did not accelerate unvested stock grants — meaning […]
Some found out they didn't qualify for WARN Act protections like two-months notice because the company had classified them as remote workers.
The first-ever roundtable in New York discussed how to ethically shape AI in the midst of its explosive growth.
CopilotKit Intelligence adds a managed persistence layer on top of the open-source CopilotKit stack, giving agents the ability to retain context, state, and interaction history without custom storage infrastructure The post CopilotKit Introduces Enterprise Intelligence Platform That Gives Agentic Applications Persistent Memory Across Sessions and Devices appeared first on MarkTechPost.
Oracle plans to issue security patches for its ERP, database, and other software on a monthly cycle, rather than quarterly, to respond to the increased pace of AI-enabled software vulnerability discovery. Other software vendors, notably Microsoft, SAP, and Adobe, already release patches on a monthly beat, always on the second Tuesday of each month. Oracle, though, is taking an off-beat approach: It will release the first of its monthly Critical Security Patch Updates (CSPUs) on May 28, the fourth Thursday, and after that, it will release its patches on the third Tuesday of each month — a week after the other vendors — with the next batches arriving on June 16, July 21, and August 18, it said earlier this week. The new CSPUs “provide targeted fixes for critical vulnerabilities in a smaller, more focused format, allowing customers to address high-priority issues without waiting for the next quarterly release,” Oracle said. It will issue a cumulative Critical Patch Update each quarter, so
The Pentagon says it has reached agreements with eight AI companies to use their technology in classified defence settings. The military will have access to resources provided by Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Oracle, OpenAI, SpaceX, and the startup Reflection. Absent from the list is Anthropic, following its public dispute and legal battle with the Trump administration over AI ethics. Peter O’Brien looks at how these developments came about.
Modern AI systems struggle with memory. They often forget past interactions or rely on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which depends on constant access to external data. This becomes a limitation when building assistants that need both historical context and a deeper understanding of users. MemPalace offers a different approach, enabling structured, persistent memory with higher precision […] The post MemPalace Explained: Building Long-Term Memory for AI Agents Beyond RAG appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.
