Accenture employee gave personal AI agent access to secure Pentagon system
An Accenture contractor connected a personal Claude Code account to a secure Pentagon system earlier this year, triggering a security incident that sources describe to WIRED as a genuine national security concern.
Coforge Launches Autonomous Software Factory for AI Agents
Coforge has rolled out what it calls an Autonomous Software Factory, a system built to run AI agents across the entire software development lifecycle rather than just one slice of it.
Bank of America asks users not to share banking password with an AI assistant
Bank of America sent an email to customers this week with a subject line that reads like a plea: "Protecting your finances in the AI World." The message gets to the point fast, telling customers never to hand over their username and password to...
Tech Mahindra, SpaceXSI Partner to Bring AI Agents Into Software Engineering
Tech Mahindra has signed a partnership with AI coding platform SpaceXSI, aiming to push AI-assisted development deeper into enterprise software projects.
AI shopping agents face delays, shipping limits as retailers watch
I asked an AI agent to buy me a pair of running shoes last week. It asked four follow-up questions, timed out once, and came back with a different brand in a color I didn't pick. Technically, task complete.
Twilio wants AI agents to access customer communications directly
Twilio's chief operating officer Thomas Wyatt has a straightforward pitch for what AI should actually do inside a contact center: handle the boring stuff.
Early AI Adoption by Industry Shows What Other Sectors Can Learn
Forty-eight percent of finance workers say their employer has asked them to use AI chatbots on the job. Thirty-two percent have been told to automate parts of their workflow.
Europe’s Industrial Leaders Use NVIDIA for Up to 40x Engineering Speedups
Siemens says agents built on NVIDIA's new Factory Operations Blueprint are cutting calibration time at its Erlangen electronics plant by 40%, part of a broader push by European manufacturers to rewire engineering and production with NVIDIA's...
NVIDIA OpenShell Secures AI Agent Sandboxes at Scale
NVIDIA released OpenShell this week, an open-source runtime built to put guardrails around AI agents that run for hours at a time, touch multiple systems, and sometimes spin up other agents to help finish a job.
Expert Rubrics Guide RL Rewards for Non-Verifiable Retrieval
A new paper puts a number on a problem that's been nagging at anyone trying to train LLM agents for financial services work: Recall@3 improves by up to 6% and MRR@3 by 6.7% once researchers fix how reward signals get built for retrieval tasks that...
Teaching AI about symmetry could make prenatal MRI diagnosis more reliable
A fetal brain scan taken while the baby is moving is, by design, a mess. MRI machines capture a series of thin 2D slices meant to stack into one clean 3D image, but a squirming fetus means those slices rarely line up.
Cars.com and Amtrak Block AI Agents as Websites Quietly Close Doors
Try booking a train ticket through an AI agent on Amtrak's site this month and you'll likely hit a wall that wasn't there a few weeks ago. Same story on Cars.com.
Microsoft AI Tool to Help Resource-Strapped Weather Agencies Forecast Better
Weather forecasts start falling apart after about two weeks, no matter how much computing power gets thrown at them.
Alibaba Qwen Unveils QwenGyre: Elastic RL for Long-Horizon Agents
Alibaba's Qwen team built a reinforcement learning framework for agents that don't finish their job in minutes.
NGCĠUsesĠDigitalĠTwins,ĠAIĠAgentsĠtoĠValidateĠFactoryĠChanges
An AI factory packs GPUs, CPUs, switches, DPUs, and SuperNICs into a single operating system that also has to juggle schedulers, orchestration, security policy, and software that changes by the week.
Gemini 3.8 AI Models Promise Better Reasoning at Lower Cost
Google closed out September 2026 with Gemini 4 Argon, a frontier model built around a 1-million-token context window and reasoning aimed squarely at cybersecurity defense work.
NVIDIA DSX MaxLPS Handles Mixed AI Workloads on 140 GPUs
NVIDIA and Nscale ran a joint evaluation on 140 GPUs at a data center in Keflavík, Iceland, testing whether AI factories can be built with less electrical headroom than standard practice demands.
AI Agent and NVIDIA Isaac ROS Speed Up ROS 2 Node
A GPU kernel that runs in microseconds can still sit behind a ROS 2 graph that crawls, because the messages carrying its output often get serialized or copied through CPU memory on the way to the next node.
Redwood Materials Powers AI With Repurposed EV Batteries
Redwood Materials, the battery recycling company founded by former Tesla executive JB Straubel, is finding a second life for used electric vehicle batteries: powering the data centers that run AI.
NATO Allies Test Small AI Models for Autonomous Drone Targeting
Scaleout Systems started in 2018 as a spinoff from Uppsala University in Sweden, building machine learning tools meant for commercial trucks.
