Oct 12, 2026Twila Rosenbaum AI is pouring unprecedented capital into chips, optics, power, and data centers, but the demand it generates will not stay evenly distributed. Enterprises increasingly start AI in public clouds, then reassess placement once workloads reach production scale. Rising inference costs, data gravity, and governance rules are making repatriation and specialized AI clouds viable alternatives. The result is a more segmented market where economics, not ideology, decides where each workload lives. View more
Oct 12, 2026Twila Rosenbaum The next phase of AI in software development will be the focus of a major technology conference in San Francisco from October 13-15, 2026. After code completion and code generation, autonomous coding agents can plan, write, test, review, and debug software with minimal human input. The event will feature more than 200 sessions across six stages, with leaders from Amazon, Anthropic, Google, NVIDIA, OpenAI, and others. Attendees will examine practical patterns for delegating work to agents, reviewing their output, and recovering from errors. View more
Oct 10, 2026Twila Rosenbaum Security researchers have uncovered a campaign that uses a fake AI crypto trading agent to install Needle Stealer, malware that replaces browser wallet extensions and captures wallet passwords. The attack abuses a Microsoft-signed executable and DLL side-loading to evade Windows security checks. Separate QR code phishing and Phantom Stealer campaigns move victims to phones or inject payloads hidden in images. The broader ecosystem includes invoice-themed malware, HTML smuggling, and fake installers that bundle unwanted software. View more
Oct 10, 2026Twila Rosenbaum A field guide designed to help IT and security teams navigate AI adoption is no longer available. The guide promised a practical framework for evaluating tools beyond polished demos, selecting production-ready systems, and pressure-testing vendors. It also emphasized human-in-the-loop best practices and cited examples from teams at major technology companies. Its withdrawal comes as many organizations report that AI tools increase complexity, risk, and oversight burdens rather than reducing workload. View more
Oct 10, 2026Twila Rosenbaum Security leaders often ask what data an AI model was trained on. A security officer argues the better question is how to maintain authority and integrity over that data using least privilege and access controls. The interview explores how AI has eroded the attacker-defender skill gap, how one team handled nine times more vulnerabilities with the same staff, and why hiring now favors experience over routine output.

Oct 10, 2026Twila Rosenbaum When finance asks for a flat cybersecurity budget or a 12% cut, uniform trimming can weaken protection. A better approach is to sort spending into four buckets: what works, what was never operationalized, what duplicates another team’s tool, and what exists only for compliance theater. Security leaders who speak in risk and dollars and tie spending to revenue can change the conversation with finance. View more
Oct 10, 2026Twila Rosenbaum AI coding tools are accelerating code generation and vulnerability discovery, but human maintainers still must review every contribution. That review load is growing for open-source projects, many of which operate with thin or unreliable funding. The imbalance raises security and sustainability concerns for software embedded in phones, cars, cloud systems, and AI platforms. A recent policy analysis calls for more investment in documentation, packaging, fundraising, and governance so institutions can identify critical dependencies before they fail. View more
Oct 09, 2026Twila Rosenbaum Max Junestrand, co-founder and CEO of legal AI company Legora, told an audience in Turin that European sovereignty in software is an excuse for companies not bold enough to compete globally. He said sovereignty matters for energy, defence, and infrastructure, but not for enterprise applications used across continents. General Catalyst's Jeannette zu Fürstenberg countered that Europe needs its own energy and compute clusters to stop value from leaking abroad. The discussion also covered Legora's rapid revenue growth, its global ambitions, and the pressures facing law firms as AI reshapes billable work. View more
Oct 09, 2026Twila Rosenbaum AI may allow a company to be built from anywhere, but founders are still choosing to sit together. At a Turin startup conference, Station F director Roxanne Varza and Anthropic’s Aiden Blake said physical presence is driving momentum in the AI boom. Station F’s F/ai programme requires teams to appear on campus for key moments, and two-thirds of its current batch comes from outside France. Blake said online tools make customer engagement easier, but real trust still happens in person. View more
