AI also moves beyond the lab.

We track models and technical advances, but also data governance, agent governance, security, investment, and economic decisions. We look at the United States, China, Europe, and the rest of the world with the original source always at hand.

Preview live web apps while your code agent builds them with the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore runtime

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore session endpoints assign each session an authenticated URL that forwards any HTTP method, routes, and WebSocket connections to allowed ports. This lets you run a code agent that keeps a Vite site in the session and see it update in the browser as you edit files.

From synthetic data to real trust: evaluating Microsoft Copilot at enterprise scale, per Microsoft Research

Microsoft Research examines how to evaluate Microsoft Copilot at enterprise scale without compromising privacy. Validation requires test data that reproduces the complexity of organizations, but real data contains sensitive information that cannot be used. The approach aims to close the gap between evaluations with synthetic data and operational trust in Copilot.

/ CROSS-CUTTING GOVERNANCE

Reliable data and automations under control.

To govern means defining owners, boundaries, and evidence before relying on a system.

01

Data governance

We agree on which information is reliable, who can access it, how long it’s kept, and how it’s corrected.

02

Agent governance

We define what an automation or agent can do, when it requires approval, and how its actions are reviewed.
