Google I/O made it official: AI-generated answers are now front and center in search, and most brands have almost no visibility into how AI is describing them to their customers. For anyone who has spent years building a strategy around 10 blue links, the rules just changed in a pretty significant way. On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca […]

Yellow taxis pass in front of The New York Times newspaper building. | Alexandra Schuler/dpa (Photo by Alexandra Schuler/picture alliance via Getty Images) How newsrooms should use AI - or if they should at all - has been a recurrent debate within the media industry over the last several years. Increasingly, these rules are being hammered out at the bargaining table between unions and publishers. Right now, employees at The New York Times are gearing up for a fight. Unionized staff with the Tech Guild say Times management has refused to provide the union with information related to how the company has used AI, its plans for AI use in the future, and how it will affect employees' jobs and workflow. (The union filed an unfair labor practice charge earlier this month.) The Tech Guild, a NewsGuild … Read the full story at The Verge.

Manufacturing isn’t just about machines anymore. Now, success relies on engineering those machines well, keeping them connected and adjusting them to match what’s actually happening on the factory floor. Application engineering for assembly systems is pushing this change, especially as factories aim for higher output while cutting errors. Companies like Atlas Copco are all in, […]

Merck is using AI agents to cut drug discovery cycles by a third and ship compliant marketing materials up to 80% faster — but VP of Digital Platforms Sean Finnerty says the only reason it's working is because they built the infrastructure first. And the pharmaceutical manufacturer is seeing promising early results: AI is generating marketing drafts that are “99% right” when it comes to compliance, shrinking review cycles from months to days and accelerating delivery by 70% to 80%. In the company’s medical research, meanwhile, one AI-assisted discovery cycle was reduced by 33%. Still, agentic AI only works if companies first build the underlying “plumbing,” Finnerty said of digital platforms and services at a recent AI Impact Series event. “If we do one-offs, we're gonna end up with thousands and thousands of things that are ultimately just gonna be debt that we'll have to deal with later,” he said. “And that's gonna be a drag on any further innovation.” Starting with the plumbing Me


Robinhood announced that customers can now use agents to conduct stock trading and shop with its credit card.
I am not a developer ,been using AI tools casually for a while but never actually built anything with them. For months I kept seeing "automation" and "AI agents" thrown around in job descriptions and had no idea what it actually meant in practice. Watched a few YouTube videos, got confused, moved on. Finally sat down with n8n properly through a structured program I was doing. First attempt took most of a Sunday. Broke twice. Third time it actually ran on its own without me doing anything manually. What it does is pretty basic honestly. Pulls data from one place, summarizes it, drops the output somewhere useful. Nothing that would impress an engineer. But it runs every day without me touching it and that's the part I couldn't quite believe the first time it worked. The thing nobody told me is that automation isn't really a technical skill. It's a process thinking skill. You're just mapping out what happens in what order and telling a tool to do it. If you can describe a workflow on

The data processing agreement (DPA) — the bedrock contract companies use to evaluate how vendors handle personal data — can no longer be trusted at face value. That is the central, and arguably most alarming, conclusion of DataGrail's Privacy and AI Trends Report 2026, released today. The San Francisco-based privacy platform analyzed 2,400 popular business software providers and found that 63.6% of vendors that prominently advertise AI capabilities do not disclose a third-party AI subprocessor in their legal documentation. The implication: the majority of companies purchasing AI-enabled software may be unknowingly exposing their customers' data to AI models and pipelines they never reviewed, never approved, and may not even know exist. "All software vendors are trying to move to become AI vendors, which makes sense, but the technologies are moving faster than AI governance can actually keep up," DataGrail co-founder and CEO Daniel Barber told VentureBeat in an exclusive interview ahead
