- ServiceNow continues its AI transformation with an integrated experience
ServiceNow has unveiled updates to its workflow management platform advancing its redefinition of itself as the “AI control tower for business reinvention” at its Knowledge customer event this week. The AI Control Tower product itself, introduced at last year’s event, gets new integrations with Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and other LLM providers to extend governance and observability of enterprise infrastructure, adding to its existing links with OpenAI and Anthropic . The integrations also span applications such as SAP, Oracle, and Workday. In addition, Control Tower can now discover non-human identities and connected devices to bring OT and IoT under the same governance as AI agents and cloud services. All this ties in to the ServiceNow Action Fabric, which opens the platform to any AI agent, whether built on ServiceNow or from another source, via a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, the company said.

- Market research is too slow for the AI era, so Brox built 60,000 identical 'digital twins' of real people you can survey instantly, repeatedly
In a world where a viral TikTok video can cause a brand to trend globally in mere hours, the traditional market research cycle — often spanning 12 weeks — is becoming a liability. The lag between a survey question and the answers from a wide (or targeted) pool of respondents has become a primary bottleneck for Fortune 500 decision-makers who are forced to navigate volatile geopolitical and economic shifts with data that is frequently outdated by the time it reaches a slide deck, as industry experts have observed . Brox , a predictive human intelligence startup, recently announced a strategic funding round following a year where they reported 10X revenue growth. Their proposition is as ambitious as it is technical: the creation of a "parallel universe" populated by 60,000 digital twins of real, living human beings and their entire demographic profiles and consumer preferences, allowing enterprises to run unlimited experiments in hours rather than months. “These digital twins are one-to-

AI is helping make doctors the unwitting stars of deepfake videos that hawk questionable products or spread misinformation, prompting calls from clinicians for more privacy and transparency laws. Why it matters: The profusion of AI content on social media platforms could further erode public trust in the medical establishment. It could also be used to fuel insurance fraud, steal data and put patients at risk. Driving the news: The American Medical Association called on federal and state lawmakers last week to close legal gaps and modernize identity protections to address what its CEO John Whyte called a public health and safety crisis. The physicians group also wants a crackdown against deepfake creators and rules to force tech platforms to more quickly remove impersonations. California has already taken steps like requiring disclosures on AI-generated ads and is debating a measure that would explicitly ban doctor deepfakes . Pennsylvania's medical board addressed another form of AI im

- AI is spreading decision-making, but not accountability
On a holiday weekend, when most of a company is offline, a critical system fails. An AI-driven workflow stalls, or worse, produces flawed decisions at scale that misprice products or expose sensitive data. In that moment, organizational theory disappears and the question of who’s responsible is immediately raised. As AI moves from experimentation into production, accountability is no longer a technical concern, it’s an executive one. And while governance frameworks suggest responsibility is shared across legal, risk, IT, and business teams, courts may ultimately find it far less evenly distributed when something goes wrong. AI, after all, may diffuse decision-making, but not legal liability. AI doesn’t show up in court — people do Jessica Eaves Mathews, an AI and intellectual property attorney and founder of Leverage Legal Group, understands that when an AI system influences a consequential decision, the algorithm isn’t what will show up in court. “It’ll be the humans who developed it,
