      Network evolution for the Agentic AI era

      Network evolution for the Agentic AI era

      Oct 09, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
      As enterprises race to deploy AI, connectivity is emerging as a critical bottleneck and opportunity. Agentic AI creates always-on traffic patterns that traditional IP networks were never designed to handle. Modern networks need real-time telemetry, segment routing, EVPN, FlexAlgo, and MACsec to deliver dynamic performance, policy, and sovereignty assurances. Organizations that modernize can monetize new AI services, while those that delay risk competitive irrelevance.
      Selector brings Git-based workflows and incident replay to network AI agents

      Selector brings Git-based workflows and incident replay to network AI agents

      Oct 09, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
      Network operations teams are being asked to trust AI agents with real production decisions. Selector has introduced Foundry, a development and runtime environment that applies software engineering discipline—version control, code review, and staged rollouts—to network AI agents. The platform lets teams commit agents to their own Git repositories, replay them against historical incidents, enforce guardrails, and gradually expand autonomy. Selector says the goal is to let customers build agents around their own data and workflows rather than choosing from a fixed vendor catalog.

      80% of network pros are OK with giving AI an autonomous role in network operations

      Oct 09, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
      A survey of 1,000 IT and network operations leaders shows 80% are comfortable granting AI a high or fully autonomous role in network operations. 51% already use agentic AI in production for real-time corrective action, and 84% expect fully AI-led operations within a year. Complexity, alert overload, and tool sprawl are driving adoption, but nearly all respondents demand guardrails such as explainability, human approval, and immutable audit trails. Vendors are responding with unified AI-powered control planes.

      Dell gives AI agents a broader view of enterprise data

      Oct 09, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
      Dell Technologies is expanding its AI Data Platform with a Unified Semantic Layer, Enterprise Knowledge Graph, and Knowledge Agents. The new capabilities are designed to give enterprise AI agents a more complete view of corporate data and reduce the compute spent reconstructing context. The platform will operate within customer environments, addressing data sovereignty and security, and it includes Nvidia-accelerated data processing and PowerScale enhancements. Releases are scheduled across late 2026 and the first half of 2027.
      Is AI conscious? Why experts are worried

      Is AI conscious? Why experts are worried

      Oct 08, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
      A robotics video renews a contentious question: could AI systems be conscious? Researchers disagree, but some argue that if models have morally relevant experiences, how we train and treat them could affect human safety. New studies find internal signals resembling valence, yet no consensus exists on what consciousness is or how to prove it.
