- Solving the 'Whac-a-mole dilemma': A smarter way to debias AI vision models
In today's hospitals and clinics, a dermatologist may use an artificial intelligence model for classifying skin lesions to assess if the lesion is at risk of developing into a cancer or if it is benign. But if the model is biased toward certain skin tones, it could fail to identify a high-risk patient.

- Alibaba's Metis agent cuts redundant AI tool calls from 98% to 2% — and gets more accurate doing it
One of the key challenges of building effective AI agents is teaching them to choose between using external tools or relying on their internal knowledge. But large language models are often trained to blindly invoke tools, which causes latency bottlenecks, unnecessary API costs, and degraded reasoning caused by environmental noise. To overcome this challenge, researchers at Alibaba introduced Hierarchical Decoupled Policy Optimization (HDPO), a reinforcement learning framework that trains agents to balance both execution efficiency and task accuracy. Metis, a multimodal model they trained using this framework, reduces redundant tool invocations from 98% to just 2% while establishing new state-of-the-art reasoning accuracy across key industry benchmarks. This framework helps create AI agents that are not trigger-happy and know when to abstain from using tools, enabling the development of responsive and cost-effective agentic systems. The metacognitive deficit Current agentic models face

Welcome to AI Decoded , Fast Company ’s weekly newsletter that breaks down the most important news in the world of AI . You can sign up to receive this newsletter every week via email here . Are the biggest AI labs betting on the wrong horse? Big AI companies are betting nearly all of their R&D and capital expenditure on the idea that pre-trained transformer models can deliver AI with human-level general intelligence. This approach relies heavily on backpropagation , the standard algorithm used to train deep neural networks. Ben Goertzel, who coined the term “AGI” with his 2005 book Artificial General Intelligence (co-written with DeepMind founder Shane Legg), is skeptical. “The commercial AI industry is just betting everything on copying GPT [generative pre-trained transformers] in various permutations, which in my view is a waste of resources because all these LLMs are kind of doing about the same thing.” “When something works, everyone wants to double and triple down on what worked,

Most enterprises I talk to say they have an AI skills gap. That sounds plausible right up until you look at what companies are doing. They are spending millions on copilots, launching AI academies, hiring chief AI officers and rolling out internal training at scale. Yet for all that activity, most organizations still do not move faster, decide better or operate in fundamentally new ways. That is the real tension at the center of enterprise AI right now: Companies think they have a skills problem, but what they really have is a work design problem. I have seen this pattern repeatedly. The organizations that get real value from AI are usually not the ones that train the fastest. They are the ones who redesign work sooner. The AI skills gap is real, but it is not the whole story. In many enterprises, the bigger failure is that AI is being layered onto jobs, workflows and operating models built for a pre-AI world.

A shortage of expertise has held back AI initiatives at many organizations, with shallow knowledge of the technology plaguing practitioners’ ability to make good on the promise of AI. According to CIO.com’s 2026 State of the CIO survey , lack of in-house talent was the top challenge IT teams faced in implementing AI strategies during the past 12 months, identified by 40% of respondents.

- Exclusive: Data center firm inks carbon removal deal as AI demand surges
NTT Data, a major data center operator, is buying carbon removal credits from startup Climeworks to help meet its climate goals, the companies exclusively shared with Axios on Thursday. Why it matters : Surging energy demand from AI is increasing scrutiny of data centers' emissions — and could expand the pool of buyers for carbon removal as the sector faces setbacks. Driving the news : Japan-based NTT Data Group has agreed to buy an unspecified amount of carbon removal credits from Climeworks — the first agreement between the Switzerland-based startup and a major AI infrastructure company. The companies aren't disclosing terms of the agreement, but Climeworks co-CEO Christoph Gebald said the deal could provide a few hundred thousand tons over a decade. Reality check : That's meaningful for a nascent industry, but it's quite small relative to the emissions tied to the AI boom — to say nothing of the far greater reductions needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
