Gartner: upgrading from a chatbot to an agentic assistant means every single query costs 5-30x more tokens. EY: one agentic support interaction went from $0.04 in 2023 to $1.20 in 2026. Goldman Sachs: token consumption up 24-fold by 2030. #AgenticAI #EnterpriseAI #FinOps #AIStrategy #CTO

Demis Hassabis says AGI is “probably only a few short years away.” A Nobel laureate running a leading lab, committing to a timeline in writing. The catch: much of the field thinks he's wrong. Our analysis of the divide - the-sourcecode.com/ai-tech/hassab…

Poor data costs the average company $12.9M a year, and Gartner says 85% of AI projects fail on data that’s missing or wrong. The models aren’t the problem. The data feeding them is - the-sourcecode.com/ai-tech/poor-d… #DataQuality #EnterpriseAI

In an essay on X, @satyanadella has named the question he says will decide who captures the value in enterprise AI: not which model you run, but who owns the knowledge you create while running it. His “Reverse Information Paradox,” and what it means for enterprises - the-sourcecode.com/ai-tech/satya-…

An oversubscribed $500M early-stage fund in a selective market is a signal. @BCapitalGroup's Ascent Fund III is betting the next category-defining companies will emerge as AI reshapes the world's largest physical industries.

@backbase has acquired agentic AI specialist Kasisto, embedding reasoning-native agents and governance controls into its AI-native Banking OS. The bet: banks want agents that resolve work, not just answer questions. Our full analysis - the-sourcecode.com/ai-tech/backba… #AgenticAI #Banking #FinTech #EnterpriseAI #BankingTech

That is one of the more striking findings in Nutanix's eighth annual Healthcare Enterprise Cloud Index. 79% encounter AI tools deployed by employees outside IT, and 83% say that unmanaged use creates real business risk, at a moment when the sector is handling some of the most sensitive data anywhere. The report tracks how healthcare is trying to close the gap, from the container shift moving AI to the bedside to the data sovereignty rules now shaping where clinical workloads can run. The picture is of a sector accelerating into AI while the foundations beneath it remain incomplete. the-sourcecode.com/ai-tech/health…

22 seconds: the new gap between a breach and the next stage of an attack, down from 8 hours. Endava's move into the Wiz Partner Alliance is a bet that its engineers can fix cloud risk, not just flag it, as agentic AI scales.

@SandboxAQ is bringing its Large Quantitative Models to @googlecloud Marketplace. AQCat for materials discovery lands first in Q3; AQPotency for drug discovery follows. Physics-grounded science, inside the AI tools researchers already use. the-sourcecode.com/ai-tech/sandbo… #EnterpriseAI #DrugDiscovery #GoogleCloud

Cooling: 7% of data centre power in an efficient hyperscale facility. Over 30% in an inefficient enterprise one (IEA). That gap is why repatriating AI workloads can quietly surrender the savings it was meant to deliver. Our analysis - the-sourcecode.com/data-infrastru… #DataCentres #EnterpriseAI #AIInfrastructure

AI agents are already acting inside live business workflows. The governance is not. KnowBe4's new global study: 58% of leaders say agents are taking actions, 52% admit AI use is ungoverned, only 19% are ready. Our analysis: the-sourcecode.com/ai-tech/ai-age… #AgenticAI #Cybersecurity #ShadowAI

83% of organisations that paid a ransom were attacked again. As payment bans spread, Censys and Veeam explain why the boardroom question has shifted from “should we pay” to “can we recover fast enough not to.” Payment was never a recovery strategy - the-sourcecode.com/cybersecurity/… #Ransomware #Cybersecurity #CISO

A colleague is no longer reliably a human. Enterprise AI agents grew 466% in a year. Most firms can’t say how many run inside their walls, or what they can reach.

The AI regulation conversation has shifted from framework debates to operational compliance, and the obligations that matter most now begin after a model goes live.

The deepfake wire transfer is now routine. Synthetic voice + video fraud is up 2,000%+ in three years. Billions lost in 2025. Humans detect AI voice at ~50% accuracy.

Reporting this piece, one thread held across both conversations: AI projects aren’t failing on compute. They’re failing because enterprises can’t control or trust their data. @Seagate and @EverpureData on the storage wall, and why the Gulf makes it a sovereignty question. the-sourcecode.com/data-infrastru… #EnterpriseAI #DataSovereignty

“Are you secure?” is a dead question. Last week, six announcements replaced it with a sharper one: Can you prove it? OpenAI now issues trusted access as a credential. A browser coalition is defining “human.” TII anchored a sovereign quantum-safe standard for proving how AI behaves. Whoever controls the proof controls the internet - the-sourcecode.com/cybersecurity/… #AISecurity #CyberSecurity #DigitalTrust

The Middle East and Africa leads EMEA on data sovereignty execution, with 60% of organisations fully operationalised, ahead of Europe’s 52.7%. But new Veeam research finds the control they built ends where their own systems do, as third-party platforms and AI become the region’s biggest blind spots. As Veeam’s Mena Migally puts it, the task now is “control at scale without dependency.” Our full analysis on what MEA has solved, and what it hasn’t: the-sourcecode.com/ai-tech/mea-da… #DataSovereignty #AI #MiddleEast #DataGovernance #EnterpriseTech.

$3.9 Billion in GCC growth credit in 2025. Almost all fintech. Structured against receivables, not equity.
