AI is writing software faster than we can secure it. Are you keeping up? By the time you finish reading this sentence, developers and their AI agents will have pushed a couple thousand code commits. Last year at this time, it would have been about 150. The past year has seen AI-generated software accelerate to astonishing levels. GitHub recorded 7.38 billion commits in September 2026 alone, more than five times the total from a year earlier. The security implications of this explosion are…

The EU AI Act is a risk-based legal framework that assigns obligations to AI providers, deployers, importers, distributors, and other actors according to the system or model involved. This guide explains the mechanism, trade-offs, evaluation, and controls that matter in practice.

I have spent the past several years building AI into products where a wrong answer has a price attached: an AI-powered payroll compliance platform for the Australian market, where an error lands in someone's bank account, and a college admissions product, where a poor match can shape a student's next four years. The question that decided the architecture was the same in both. How far should the language model be allowed to go before something deterministic takes over? One in five U.S. payrolls…

Between an idea and a physical test, hardware teams repeat the same chain. Someone sketches a change, someone turns it into CAD, the team checks the geometry, picks a material, reviews manufacturability, sends it to production, waits, gets a part, tests it, and starts again. The product may be new, but the cycle is familiar, and AI is starting to speed up parts of it. AI use across business is now routine. The 2026 Stanford AI Index found that 88% of surveyed organizations used AI in at least…

Wayve, Stellantis, and NVIDIA announced a collaboration with the French Government on October 23, 2026, focused on advancing the deployment of autonomous vehicles in France and accelerating the technology's development across the European Union. The announcement was made at the Assises du Véhicule Autonome in Paris. Wayve, a London-based developer of embodied AI for driving, said the initiative combines Stellantis' L4-Ready Platforms and vehicle engineering and manufacturing expertise with the…

Introduction As datasets grow, processing them efficiently on a single machine can become challenging due to limitations in CPU capacity, memory, and storage throughput. Apache Spark addresses these challenges by providing a distributed data processing engine that can divide workloads into partitions and execute tasks in parallel across CPU cores and multiple machines. However, Spark is not simply about adding more machines. Understanding how its components work together—Drivers, Executors…
