Reading Time: 12 minutesAuthor’s Note: There are already wonderful recaps of the Web Directions Developer Summit I spoke at in November 2025. So, rather than offering another one, I decided to capture my experience at the conference in a stream-of-consciousness style that details my battles with stage fright and imposter syndrome. I haven’t seen this style used on […]

Reading Time: 3 minutesShopify is enhancing core enterprise commerce workflows with agentic AI, automating operations while expanding sales channels. The adoption of generative AI in commerce has largely centred on customer support chatbots and basic content generation. Shopify’s Winter ‘26 Edition, titled Renaissance, pushes this technology toward agentic commerce where AI systems actively manage workflows, configure infrastructure, and […]

Reading Time: 4 minutesRetailers are starting to confront a problem that sits behind much of the hype around AI shopping: as customers turn to chatbots and automated assistants to decide what to buy, retailers risk losing control over how their products are shown, sold, and bundled. That concern is pushing some large chains to build or support their […]

Reading Time: 4 minutesMeta’s US$2 billion acquisition of AI agent startup Manus has become every enterprise CTO’s cross-border compliance risk lesson. China’s Ministry of Commerce announced on January 9 that it would assess whether the deal violated export controls, technology transfer rules, and overseas investment regulations, despite Manus relocating from Beijing to Singapore in 2025. The investigation exposes […]

Reading Time: 4 minutesIntegrating AI into code review workflows allows engineering leaders to detect systemic risks that often evade human detection at scale. For engineering leaders managing distributed systems, the trade-off between deployment speed and operational stability often defines the success of their platform. Datadog, a company responsible for the observability of complex infrastructures worldwide, operates under intense […]

Reading Time: 3 minutesArtificial intelligence and legal technology are reshaping the landscape of personal injury law in Philadelphia, introducing significant changes. The advancements offer new capabilities for legal professionals, enhancing the strategic approach lawyers take in managing cases. The integration of AI and legal tech into personal injury law is changing how legal practices operate in Philadelphia. By […]

Reading Time: 5 minutesIf you have ever taken a self-driving Uber through downtown LA, you might recognise the strange sense of uncertainty that settles in when there is no driver and no conversation, just a quiet car making assumptions about the world around it. The journey feels fine until the car misreads a shadow or slows abruptly for […]

Reading Time: 4 minutesThe partnership announced this week between Microsoft and Hexagon Robotics marks an inflection point in the commercialisation of humanoid, AI-powered robots for industrial environments. The two companies will combine Microsoft’s cloud and AI infrastructure with Hexagon’s expertise in robotics, sensors, and spatial intelligence to advance the deployment of physical AI systems in real-world settings. At […]

Reading Time: 4 minutesAI advancements are changing the way we look at health and deal with health-related issues. According to a new nationwide study by Confused.com Life Insurance, three in five Brits now use AI to self-diagnose health conditions. Through various searches, like side effects of medical conditions, treatment options, and symptom checks, as much as 11% of […]

Reading Time: 4 minutesAfter several years of experimentation, enterprise AI is moving out of the pilot phase. To date, many organisations limit AI to general-purpose chatbots, often created by small groups of early adopters. According to Nexos.ai, that model will give way to something more operational: fleets of task-specific AI agents embedded directly into business workflows. Even isolated […]

Reading Time: 4 minutesManufacturing factories are producing more data than they can easily process, and companies like Bosch are turning to AI to close that gap. Cameras watch production lines, sensors track machines, and software records each step of the process. However, much of that information still does not lead to faster decisions or fewer breakdowns. For large […]

Reading Time: 4 minutesAgentic AI represents a distinct evolution from stateless chatbots toward complex workflows, and scaling it requires new memory architecture. As foundation models scale toward trillions of parameters and context windows reach millions of tokens, the computational cost of remembering history is rising faster than the ability to process it. Organisations deploying these systems now face […]
