underlying society is changing. That was one of the ideas from Max Buckley’s talk at AI Engineer Singapore, and it has stuck with me ever since. For decades, software engineering was organised around scarcity. Code was expensive to write, engineers were scarce and features took time. This assumption shaped how teams worked. We prioritised carefully
At Microsoft Build, we are announcing that Microsoft Discovery is now generally available for all organizations, providing a comprehensive platform for building and governing agentic AI workflows. Breakthroughs in science and engineering rarely come from a single insight. They emerge through cycles of hypothesis, experimentation, refinement, and review across teams, tools, and data. Today at
Consider a concrete example of a typical question a business executive might ask during an operational review: "Why did user engagement drop, and what is the root cause?" Crucially, a standard AI agent will often stop the moment it finds a convenient answer. If it browses the web and finds a major third-party dependency outage
Microsoft Build 2026 highlights advancements in app development with Microsoft Fabric and Microsoft Databases, emphasizing a unified data and AI platform for scalable, agentic applications. AI is driving a fundamental shift in how work gets done and how applications are built. As the 2026 Microsoft Work Trend Index Report highlights, a growing share of workers
Radiology capacity is a bottleneck in hospitals, while imaging exams can be a major pain point for patients as well. Health systems and imaging centers are facing increasing volumes of medical imaging with outdated technology and limited scanner capacity. For patients, there can be long wait times and imaging procedures are often stressful and uncomfortable.
On matchday 29 of Bundesliga’s 2025–2026 season, Bayern Munich walked into St. Pauli carrying 100 goals, just one short of a record that had stood for over half a century. The legendary Bayern squad of 1971–1972, Gerd Müller, Franz Beckenbauer, and Uli Hoeneß, had set the bar at 101, a mark long considered untouchable. Then
Securing AI agent behavior is a key customer challenge in building agentic solutions. As enterprises rapidly adopt AI agents to automate workflows, they face a scaling challenge in managing secure access to tools across the organization. Modern unified enterprise AI platforms have hundreds of agents serving users across the organization. These agents need to access
As generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools become increasingly integrated into academic settings, questions are mounting about how students are using these tools and whether such use supports or undermines their own learning. One behavior drawing particular attention is the tendency of some students to delegate metacognitive tasks to AI systems, including goal-setting, comprehension monitoring, and
China’s AI-driven long-term care expansion blends hyper-scale public funding with massive private-sector digital platforms. Artificial intelligence promises huge efficiency gains for strained health systems, but algorithmic surveillance in long-term care systems also introduces profound ethical dilemmas. In response, the World Health Organization (WHO) has unveiled a comprehensive consultation draft on global long-term care standards to
A new AI weather forecasting tool released today by the startup WindBorne Systems offers more frequent and accurate predictions on key variables than the world-leading system developed by European governments, thanks to advancements in how sensor readings are fed into deep learning models. Founded by a group of Stanford students in 2019, WindBorne began by
