TypeMock Launches Test Review for Smarter Unit Testing
Monday, August 3, 2026 by Austin Harris
TypeMock announced the launch of TypeMock Test Review, a new solution that helps software development teams evaluate the quality of their unit tests by identifying duplicate, fragile, ineffective, and high maintenance tests, a need that did not exist before the rise of AI generated tests. It is an overdue acknowledgment that pass rates and coverage were never built to t...
FTC AI accuracy policy puts chatbot trust under review
Tuesday, July 21, 2026 by Trey Abbe
The Federal Trade Commission is putting a sharper focus on how artificial intelligence systems are presented to consumers, how accurate those systems are expected to be, and whether companies are giving users a fair understanding of what they are actually getting.
On July 1, the FTC said it is seeking public comment on a proposed policy statement addressing AI accura...
Human-Made Video Ads Outperform AI-Generated Creativity
Monday, July 20, 2026 by Trey Abbe
AI can now make video ads that look polished, credible, and close enough to human-made work that many people cannot easily tell the difference.
That does not mean those ads move people the same way.
New research from Ipsos and Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications found that human-made video ads still outperform AI-generated creat...

Nearly all developers use AI but few secure the code it generates
Monday, July 13, 2026 by Trey Abbe
Nearly all developers write code with AI, but fewer than one in five secure it as they go, citing limited use of AppSec tooling inside Integrated Developer Environments and difficulty integrating security into existing CI and CD pipelines. That gap is not a small nuisance. It is a structural flaw. If the code accelerates while the guardrails stand still, risk compounds ...

AI Executive Order aims to balance security and innovation
Monday, June 29, 2026 by Richard Harris
One of the biggest concerns people had when talk started about regulating AI was whether the government was going to require developers to get permission before releasing new models. This executive order takes a different approach. Instead of creating another layer of bureaucracy, it establishes a voluntary review process for the handful of AI models that are considered...
Top manufacturing trends for 2026
Tuesday, June 23, 2026 by Trey Abbe
Manufacturers have spent years trying to make warehouses of data behave like a single source of truth. They wrote custom connectors, maintained brittle API chains, and paid the tax every time a schema shifted or a vendor upgraded. Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is the first credible exit ramp from that grind. Rather than forcing every system to integrate with every oth...

Agentic AI Reality Check: The Million-Dollar Mistake Hiding Inside ERP
Friday, June 19, 2026 by Avinash Tiwari
There's a contradiction playing out in the world of enterprise software.
On one hand, Gartner predicts that over 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by 2027. On the other, nearly 90% of business leaders say AI is essential to staying competitive. And that disconnect shows up in day-to-day development work.
Teams are being asked ...

Subscription apps are losing users faster than ever
Tuesday, June 16, 2026 by Richard Harris
More than a third of all annual app subscription cancellations happen within the first month. That first stretch holds the single greatest concentration of annual churn, and once someone steps out, the door usually stays shut. Annual reactivation sits at about 5 percent overall, and it hardly moves by region or price tier. Monthly subscribers return at about four times ...
DomainTools announces real time threat feeds
Monday, June 15, 2026 by Brittany Hainzinger
Real time is a phrase that gets tossed around until it means very little. In astrophotography, real time lives in the interval between when a satellite intrudes on your exposure and when you decide to toss the frame. A feed is only as useful as the speed and relevance of what it delivers. Here, the feeds do not simply ping you with trivia. The automatic infrastructure m...

Friday, June 12, 2026 by Russ Scritchfield

This enforcement step re...

Spotify and UMG strike landmark AI music licensing deal
Thursday, May 28, 2026 by Brittany Hainzinger
For years, fan made covers and remixes have lived in a legal gray zone. Creators moved fast. Rights lagged. Platforms patched around the edges. This deal recognizes the obvious and does something useful about it. Spotify will offer a generative AI powered creation tool as a paid add on for Premium users. It is not a free for all. It is a licensed lane where artists and ...

AI layoffS: What is really behind it all
Tuesday, May 26, 2026 by Ben Conway
Companies are invoking artificial intelligence to explain job cuts, strategy pivots, and cost actions, but the evidence points to a broader operational reset. Productivity language is surging while measurable AI adoption and output gains remain scattered. That gap is creating confusion for workers, investors, and leaders who need a clear view of what is driving risk and...

When Social Listening Becomes Social Surveillance
Wednesday, May 20, 2026 by Sameer Ahmed Khan
I want to tell you about two tools that do the exact same thing.
The first tool scans Facebook, X, and YouTube. It reads public posts. It analyzes them for sentiment, emotional tone, and trending patterns. It tells you what people feel, what they care about, and what they are saying about you.
Marketers call this social listening. It is how brands understand their...

How AI is causing app litter everywhere
Tuesday, April 21, 2026 by Trey Abbe
I've worked on systems that have been running for years, the kind you don't think about because they just work. No noise, no constant updates, no surprises. They were built carefully, and that care shows over time. You can tell when something was designed with longevity in mind because it doesn't demand your attention. It just does its job.
That's a c...
