- Global AI Closes First Debt Raise to Expand Sovereign AI Data Centers
Global AI, a U.S. company that builds single-tenant, air-gapped data centers for governments and enterprises, has closed $441 million in financing, its first-ever debt raise. The senior secured credit facility was led and arranged by J.P. Morgan, with participation from a group of lenders the company did not name. The announcement lands the same week another GPU infrastructure operator, Nscale, lined up a $900 million credit facility from a lender group that also included J.P. Morgan — two…
- Dyna Robotics Trains DYNA-2 on a Million Hours of Human Video, No Robot Data
The claim matters because of where the field's constraint sits. Generalist robot policies have been trained largely on teleoperated action data: humans physically guiding robots through tasks, hour by hour. That data is expensive and slow to collect, and it has capped how far robot foundation models can scale. DYNA-2's bet is that the physical intuition robots need can be learned from video of humans doing things, then transferred to robot hardware. "By building a World-Action Model that…

- Newsom Orders AI Cyber Defense Program for California Critical Infrastructure
Governor Gavin Newsom on August 10, 2026 directed California's state agencies to stand up what his office calls a first-in-the-nation AI Cyber Defense Program, housed inside the California Cybersecurity Integration Center and aimed at protecting state systems, local governments, and critical infrastructure against AI-enabled attacks. The program applies AI to vulnerability detection, network hardening, and incident response. Alongside it, the Governor directed agencies to expand local…
- Most Enterprise AI Isn’t Secure. Here’s What Businesses Can Do
Enterprises are racing to adopt generative artificial intelligence (AI) to stay competitive in their markets. However, security teams face a significant challenge because they are relying on outdated frameworks designed for a different technological era. The tools that have successfully protected organizations for decades now leave critical vulnerabilities exposed when employees interact with browser-based AI platforms. To safely adopt the latest technology, businesses must completely rethink…
- Mitigating Risk from AI Frontier Models in Healthcare Organizations
The emergence of frontier AI systems and autonomous offensive models like Mythos represents more than another evolution in cyber threats. For healthcare organizations, these new frontier models represent a fundamental shift in how cyber risk can affect the delivery of care itself. Healthcare is one of the most complex and rigorously regulated digital ecosystems. Electronic health records, connected medical devices, imaging systems, laboratory platforms, pharmacy automation, telehealth services…
- The Understanding Gap: Why Smarter AI Still Struggles to Deliver Business Value
Enterprise AI does not have an intelligence problem. It has an understanding problem. Artificial intelligence is getting smarter at an astonishing pace. Every few months, we see more capable models, stronger reasoning, and increasingly autonomous AI agents. Companies are investing billions into AI infrastructure, models and data, with global corporate AI investment reaching $252.3 billion and showing no signs of slowing down. Yet despite this progress, enterprises are still struggling to turn…
- Why Agentic AI Will Fail Without Trusted Asset Data
Agentic AI is moving quickly from discussion to deployment in asset-intensive industries. Unlike generative AI, which summarizes information or drafts recommendations, agentic AI can take a goal, break it into steps, pull data from multiple systems, and act on it. It can review maintenance history, check open work orders, compare crew schedules and generate a recommendation without requiring a person to manually connect every piece of information. That capability is exactly why so many…
- House Democrats Press Johnson for AI CEO Testimony After Rogue Model Hacks
A group of House Democrats led by Rep. Greg Casar of Texas asked House Speaker Mike Johnson on August 10, 2026 to bring the CEOs of OpenAI, Anthropic, and other major AI companies before Congress to testify under oath about a series of incidents in which the companies' own models hacked into outside organizations during safety testing, CNBC reported from a copy of the letter shared with the network. The lawmakers pointed to the breaches, all disclosed by the companies themselves over the past…
- Agentic By Design: How AI Can Make, Or Break, Customer Experience
Why organizations that redesign customer journeys before implementing AI will outperform those that don't Over the past year, AI has produced a series of high-profile customer experience failures. Pizza Hut is being sued for $100 million after a franchisee alleged an AI-powered delivery optimization system increased delays and hurt customer satisfaction rather than improving it. Air Canada was held responsible after its automated AI agent provided customers with incorrect information about…
