Emergent has raised $70 million in new funding as it looks to accelerate the adoption of no-code software development across enterprise and mid-market organizations. The investment underscores growing demand for platforms that allow non-technical users to build, deploy, and scale applications without writing traditional code.

OpenAI and ServiceNow have announced a strategic partnership aimed at embedding advanced AI agents directly into enterprise software development workflows. The collaboration is designed to help organizations automate complex tasks, accelerate development cycles, and improve operational efficiency across IT and business teams.

Like a snake slithering in the grass, Technical Debt has an uncanny ability to stay hidden - until it suddenly does not. It rarely announces itself with flashing warnings or dramatic system failures. Instead, it shows up as small annoyances: a feature that takes longer than expected, a bug that “should have been simple,” or a release that feels riskier than it used to.

The central question is no longer just whether machines can write better tests than humans. It is whether AI systems - training pipelines included - can be built to respect privacy by design. Generative AI in testing relies heavily on data. Systems such as large language models, anomaly detection engines, and automated test case generators need vast and diverse datasets to function effectively. Yet this data dependency increasingly clashes with emerging privacy regulations that limit how persona

A few years ago, training an AI model felt like hosting an all-you-can-eat buffet. The more data piled onto the plate, the happier the algorithm seemed. Engineers collected logs, user clicks, purchase histories, and behavioral signals with enthusiasm. Storage was cheap. Compliance was an afterthought. Everyone went back for seconds. Then the regulators showed up. Suddenly, that generous buffet looked more like a liability. Data retention policies became urgent. Legal teams began asking

The Snowflake Data Cloud Summit 2026 (June 1–4 in San Francisco) is shaping up to be one of the most important events of the year for data engineers, AI practitioners, and analytics leaders. Hosted by Snowflake, the summit brings together thousands of professionals to explore how modern data platforms are evolving to support real-time analytics and production-grade AI systems.

Microsoft has announced a significant expansion of its GitHub Copilot platform, introducing new enterprise-focused capabilities aimed at improving developer productivity and code quality. The update reflects Microsoft’s continued investment in AI-assisted software development tools as demand grows across large organizations.

Amazon Web Services has unveiled a new set of features designed to simplify serverless application development, reinforcing its position as a leader in cloud-native infrastructure. The updates focus on improving developer experience, observability, and performance across serverless workloads.

When one of your developers would jump out of his well worn chair, hand grabbing his hair and screaming “The server is down!!” - it meant exactly one thing: a very real, very physical machine was catching on fire in a rack somewhere, waiting for an engineer to put out the flames and bring it back to life. You could kick it, reboot it, or bribe it with a fresh config file. But in the serverless era, that comforting ritual has vanished. Now it’s less “find the broken server” and more “solve the my

As kids, we were basically tiny demolition experts with no formal training. We broke toys, snapped bike chains, shattered lamps, and occasionally our own bones. Sometimes by accident, and sometimes for fun to see what would happen. And every adult in the…

Everyone is realizing the opportunities that AI can bring to business, unfortunately this also includes people whose business is taking advantage of other people’s business. Those people are realizing the AI can help them commit their crimes and help them steal millions of dollars. In this podcast Dave Erickson and Botond Seres are going to look at how AI can be twisted into a force of evil and crime with Guy Morris - Author and IT Executive. Guy is a retired business executive who spent over 38

The Data + AI Summit 2026, hosted by Databricks, is one of the largest and most technically robust gatherings for data professionals, machine learning engineers, and analytics leaders. The event focuses on the convergence of data engineering, analytics, and AI within unified platforms, with a strong emphasis on real-world implementation.
