- What to expect during the AI Agent Conference: Join theCUBE May 4-5
Agentic enterprise is moving artificial intelligence from isolated tools into systems that actively run business operations. The transition reflects a broader shift in enterprise strategy, where organizations are embedding intelligence directly into workflows rather than layering it on top. This point to a growing divide between experimentation and execution, as companies rethink how AI integrates […] The post What to expect during the AI Agent Conference: Join theCUBE May 4-5 appeared first on SiliconANGLE .

- Your AI agent is ready to go. Is your infrastructure?
IDC estimates there were over 28 million AI agents deployed by the end of last year, and predicts there’ll be over 1 billion actively deployed by 2029, executing 217 billion actions per day. It’s easy to build an AI agent POC, says Venkat Achanta, chief technology, data, and analytics officer at TransUnion, a global credit reporting company with $4.6 billion in revenues. But governing, securing, and scaling it are a whole other challenge, especially for companies in highly regulated industries such as financial services and healthcare. To address the problem, TransUnion spent the last three years building its agentic AI platform, OneTru. The goal was to make something as reliable and deterministic as the old, scripted, expert-style systems but as flexible as gen AI, and as easy to interact with as a chatbot. The trick, however, was to combine the best of both worlds by using old-school systems for core processes where explainability and reliability are key, and layering in gen AI funct

- The AI transformation is changing more than just workflows. It's gatekeeping jobs.
Commuters head to work in Seoul. [JOONGANG ILBO] In Korea’s corporate sector, AI is no longer just a tool — it’s reshaping who gets promoted and whether new workers are hired at all. Major local conglomerates are making the AI transformation (AX) a key part of employee management, according to industry sources on Tuesday.

- LLM Style Slop is Absolutely Everywhere
Epistemic status: something of a rant. Is not meant to make claims about the general capabilities (or lack thereof) of LLMs (beyond their prose), but observations about how society seems to use them excessively without being perfectly candid about it. Nanobanana's take on the situation Over the past few months, it has become a bit of a running gag that every evening, I inform my girlfriend of the multiple cases of LLM slop I encountered in the wild throughout the day [1] . And pretty much every day, I have several cases to report. These typically involve: Blog posts (including at least four cases from 2026 on LessWrong [2] , where I've even seen one author use (at least partially) AI-generated text in replies to comments) YouTube videos At least one keynote speech from the CEO of a tech company Messages from coworkers Several personal messages from a friend News articles Press releases Tweets [3] Many subreddits, including, ironically, ones about getting LLMs to sound more human-like,

Confident mistakes – or lies, if you will – are a common problem of large language models used in AI chatbots, with one common shortcoming of ChatGPT being that it would frequently miscount the number of times the letter “R” appeared in the word “strawberry.” As OpenAI tried to take a victory lap around this, though, plenty of other confident mistakes were pointed out in the replies. more…
- Oracle NetSuite announces AI coding skills for SuiteCloud developers
Oracle NetSuite is adding AI capabilities to SuiteCloud to help developers customize its ERP platform faster using natural language prompts.

- Enterprises still chase incremental, not transformational, AI gains
Most enterprises have yet to tap into the transformative power of AI, focusing instead on incremental productivity and efficiency gains that don’t lead to competitive advantages, according to a report from research firm Forrester. Internal productivity gains from AI remain marginal, not material, as organizations haven’t figured out how to drive more meaningful gains through the technology, Forrester says in its recent Accelerate Your AI Voyage report. The evidence: 43% of AI decision-makers surveyed by the firm measure productivity improvements gained through AI, and 41% measure efficiency gains, but only 32% tie AI outcomes to profits or revenue. “Saving 10,000 employee hours might look good on paper, but it won’t cover the GPU bill, let alone drive reinvention,” Forrester analysts write in the report. “This incremental thinking forms the basis of a fundamental disconnect in the promise of AI’s transformative potential.” Only between 5% and 15% of organizations currently have an effe

- SAS makes AI governance the centerpiece of its agent strategy
Enterprises are quickly moving from AI experimentation to deployment, however, when agentic AI begins making more decisions, invoking more tools, and operating across fragmented data environments, there can be an erosion of visibility, governance, and trust. SAS laid out its answer to that problem at its annual conference, SAS Innovate , introducing a new family of copilots, agent frameworks, Model Context Protocol (MCP) plugins, and management tools to help enterprises operationalize AI without losing control of it. “What we’re seeing here is really a shift from AI that forms to AI that acts,” Marinela Profi , the company’s global AI and generative AI market strategy lead, said at the event. “This is a significant leap, because it introduces new requirements around trust, around governance, around accountability.” Interacting with agents more intuitively To begin with, SAS today announced SAS Viya Copilot, a human-governed, conversational AI assistant embedded into its Viya platform.
