- Smarter than they think? The growing AI skills gap among SMEs
Small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore and across the globe are quickly adopting artificial intelligence (AI) into their operations, yet a significant capability gap persists, with 95 per cent of SME decision-makers admitting they need more training to effectively leverage the technology. This paradox comes despite 72 per cent of these leaders considering themselves […] The post Smarter than they think? The growing AI skills gap among SMEs appeared first on e27 .

- The accountability gap: Who’s responsible when AI gets it wrong?
AI agents are no longer just tools. They not only assist but can also make decisions. They can draft emails, prioritise leads, summarise reports, and even trigger actions. The question is, can AI do this? But what happens when it gets it wrong, and more importantly, who is responsible? The shift from execution to decision […] The post The accountability gap: Who’s responsible when AI gets it wrong? appeared first on e27 .

- Motivated reasoning, confirmation bias, and AI risk theory
Of the fifty-odd biases discovered by Kahneman, Tversky, and their successors, forty-nine are cute quirks, and one is destroying civilization. This last one is confirmation bias. - From Scott Alexander's review of Julia Galef's The Scout Mindset . Alexander goes on to argue that this bias is the source of polarization in society, which is distorting our beliefs and setting us at each other's throats. How could someone believe such different things unless they're either really stupid or lying to conceal their selfishness? I think smart people who care about the truth go on believing conflicting things largely because of confirmation bias and motivated reasoning. The corner of civilization I'm most worried about is the one figuring out how to handle the advent of strong AI. I think confirmation bias makes us each a little to a lot overconfident in our beliefs about alignment and AI impacts, and that's pretty bad for collectively finding the truth. I think the effects of biases are still

- The AI Correction Will Not Be Evenly Distributed
When the numbers coming out of the biggest AI companies get reported, the coverage is almost always the same: revenue up, growth accelerating, the boom is real. What almost nobody asks is what kind of revenue it is. In AI right now, that question is being skipped entirely. It's the only one that matters. Any investor who has sat across from a founder in a pitch meeting knows that headline revenue is just the starting point. The real questions come after: Is this B2B or B2C? Is it contracted or casual? Does the use case suggest land-and-expand potential, or is this customer already at their ceiling? Is the product embedded in something the customer cannot easily stop doing, or is it a nice-to-have competing with shrinking budgets and fading attention? These questions are table stakes at the startup level. They have almost completely vanished from the conversation about the companies now defining the AI landscape. Take Anthropic and OpenAI . By most coverage, OpenAI is the dominant playe

- Oracle will patch more often to counter AI cybersecurity threat
Oracle plans to issue security patches for its ERP, database, and other software on a monthly cycle, rather than quarterly, to respond to the increased pace of AI-enabled software vulnerability discovery. Other software vendors, notably Microsoft, SAP, and Adobe, already release patches on a monthly beat, always on the second Tuesday of each month . Oracle, though, is taking an off-beat approach: It will release the first of its monthly Critical Security Patch Updates (CSPUs) on May 28, the fourth Thursday, and after that, it will release its patches on the third Tuesday of each month — a week after the other vendors — with the next batches arriving on June 16, July 21, and August 18, it said earlier this week . The new CSPUs “provide targeted fixes for critical vulnerabilities in a smaller, more focused format, allowing customers to address high-priority issues without waiting for the next quarterly release,” Oracle said. It will issue a cumulative Critical Patch Update each quarter,

- Microsoft, Google push AI agent governance into enterprise IT mainstream
Microsoft and Google are adding new controls for AI agents, as enterprise IT teams try to keep up with tools that can access corporate data and act across business applications. Microsoft’s Agent 365 , announced last November and made generally available for commercial customers on May 1, is designed to help organizations discover, govern, and secure AI agents, including those operating across Microsoft, third-party SaaS, cloud, and local environments. Google’s new AI control center for Workspace, announced this week, focuses more specifically on giving administrators a centralized view of AI usage, security settings, data protection controls, and privacy safeguards within Workspace. The timing reflects a shift in enterprise AI use . Many companies are no longer just testing chatbots, but are beginning to use agents that can reach corporate systems and carry out tasks on behalf of users. Analysts said the shift changes how CIOs and CISOs should think about AI agents inside the enterpri

- Apple can’t make chips fast enough, but that’s only part of the story
Apple has held “exploratory” talks about manufacturing processors for its devices in the US, Bloomberg reports . The move seems to reflect Apple’s need to secure additional chip supplies to meet growing demand for its products, but could also represent a contingency plan to reduce the company’s reliance on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC’s) advanced manufacturing facilities in Taiwan. I doubt this means Apple doesn’t want to work with TSMC, nor does it mean TSMC is cooling on Apple. I suspect company management is far more concerned about what might happen in the event China attacks TSMC’s home nation. Contingency planning That concern seems legitimate in the context of unravelling of international relations and a recently-disclosed warning the CIA gave to tech leaders back in 2023. Executives from Apple, AMD, and Qualcomm were all warned that China might attack Taiwan. Such an attack would comprise a huge threat to the entire tech industry . Speaking at the World Econ

- Apple Eyes Intel and Samsung as Backup US Chipmakers
Apple has held "exploratory" talks with Intel and Samsung about manufacturing the main processors for its devices in the United States, reports Bloomberg ($). Apple is said to have had early-stage talks with Intel about using its chipmaking services, while Apple executives have reportedly visited a Samsung plant under construction in Texas that will also make advanced chips. The talks are said to be preliminary, and no orders have been made so far, according to the report's sources who asked not to be identified. Apple is also said to have concerns about using technology that is not made by its longtime chip partner, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), so the talks could still go nowhere. Apple is said to be seeking potential additional suppliers beyond TSMC as a way to avoid recent shortages almost entirely driven by the current build-out of AI data centers.
