As enterprise AI budgets hit their limits earlier each year, the pressure to fund new agentic and inference workloads without expanding total spend is forcing a fundamental rethink of infrastructure and data center modernization. The State of FinOps 2026 Report found that 98% of practitioners now manage AI spend, even as most organizations still overspend ...

AI token economics is creating a data normalization crisis across the technology stack as enterprises scramble to apply consistent financial controls to graphics processing unit clusters, AI factories and token-based consumption that existing cloud billing frameworks were never designed to handle. As the FinOps Foundation Project, a Series of LF Projects LLC, community gathers in ...

Healthcare AI is moving out of the pilot phase and into production environments, where the gap between a compelling demo and a clinically trustworthy output has never been more consequential. As AI agents take center stage, the healthcare and life sciences industry faces a defining question: How do you build AI that practitioners can actually ...

The rise of agentic commerce is forcing retailers to rethink their entire data strategy — not as a future concern, but as the immediate prerequisite for competing in a world where AI agents make purchasing decisions on behalf of consumers. Rewards platforms sit at an unusual intersection of this shift: They hold rich transactional data ...

As AI accelerates product development cycles, the companies best positioned to capitalize are those that have already built a unified data foundation — one capable of taking raw signal and delivering AI personalization experiences at scale. That shift is playing out at one of Australia’s most celebrated technology companies. Canva Pty Ltd., the design platform ...

As AI moves from analytical tool to active participant in daily business operations, solutions like Snowflake CoWork are helping to close the gap between data insight and real-world execution faster than many enterprises expected. Knowledge workers have long been stuck translating data into decisions through a slow, fragmented chain of dashboards, queries and manual coordination. ...

The pharmaceutical industry’s research and development marathon — stretching 10 to 12 years from hypothesis to approval — is set to shrink as AI-driven drug development compresses that timeline. The shift from AI experimentation to real business workflow transformation is accelerating across industries. Yet few examples carry higher stakes than pharma, where a drug’s failure ...

Enterprise AI programs are moving beyond experimentation, but agentic AI maturity — the ability to run governed, autonomous workflows at production scale — remains out of reach for most organizations. The companies closing that gap fastest are the ones that invested early in clean data foundations. Whoop Inc., the Boston-based health technology company known for ...

Enterprises are adopting an agentic AI PC strategy as Copilot+ PCs shift AI workloads from expensive cloud inference to secure, high-performance on-device processing. As agentic AI moves from experimentation into production, enterprises are confronting a new economic reality: Cloud token costs are rising faster than budgets can absorb them, and the device on every employee’s ...

Enterprise GPU access is expanding as Advanced Micro Devices Inc. lowers barriers with the air-cooled Instinct MI350P GPU and a ready-to-run software stack designed for standard enterprise servers. The next wave of enterprise GPU adoption hinges not just on raw silicon performance, but on dramatically lowering the barrier to deployment. AMD is betting that pairing ...
