Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as ...

Digital workforces are everywhere you go. Before you’ve even entered your first meeting of the day, artificial intelligence can provide you with a summary of your inbox, check your calendar and even submit an expense report on your behalf. This isn’t a future vision; it’s today’s operating reality. AI agents are already embedded into daily lives ...

Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase with agentic AI: autonomous systems that perceive, decide, act and learn without constant human oversight, operating independently across distributed environments while collaborating with other agents in real time. This shift from centralized AI models to distributed, autonomous agents demands a fundamental rethinking of wide-area network infrastructure architecture. Previous ...

It’s now widely accepted that artificial intelligence will permeate nearly every aspect of our lives. That presents new challenges related to AI threats, enterprise AI management and adapting security programs for an increasingly AI-driven world. What matters most in assessing your risk exposure is to understand what type of AI is being used. There’s a ...

Scan any industry publication and the same story shows up: Cloud costs are out of control, and enterprises are scrambling. The technology everyone bet on to drive growth is making the problem worse: Some 55% of respondents to a recent PricewaterhouseCoopers International Ltd. survey say they have yet to see any benefit from artificial intelligence tools. ...

At the RSAC2026 Conference, practitioners and vendors came together to hear a new story focused less on prevention, and more on adaptation ahead of the inevitability of change brought on by the rapid enterprise adoption of agentic artificial intelligence coding agents and autonomous automation — whether the cybersecurity community is ready for it or not.  “This ...

Industrial artificial intelligence has moved from promise to practice. A Cisco Systems Inc. survey of 1,000 industry leaders found that 61% of organizations across manufacturing, transportation and utilities are deploying AI to improve productivity, reduce costs and strengthen operational resilience. Yet despite this momentum, only 20% have reached truly scaled, mature adoption. The technology is ...

The geopolitical dislocations ripping through the stock market are filtering down to information technology budgets in the form of increased uncertainty. It seems that every quarter of budget optimism is followed with some external event that causes organizations to tighten their belts. Specifically, we’ve seen the increased momentum from January’s chief information officer sentiment survey ...

As with the rest of the technology landscape, artificial intelligence – and in particular, agentic AI – came to dominate the conversations at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s recent flagship event, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026. In fact, AI is so pervasive that cloud-native computing is giving way to AI-native computing: the application of cloud ...

We know that the RSAC 2026 cybersecurity conference this week in San Francisco is going to be an artificial intelligence-heavy show. And though we’re going to hear the “AI will change everything” narrative, our premise is that security leaders are being asked to put AI into operation in an environment where complexity is rising faster ...
