AI has fundamentally accelerated software development, yet it has barely changed how software organizations operate. That mismatch is quietly becoming the biggest constraint on enterprise AI. For years, engineering teams needed more resources to keep up with demand. Today, small teams use AI to generate code, test, and accelerate the path from idea to implementation. […]

In the AI gold rush, I see two distinct categories of solutions: vitamins and painkillers. A vitamin is something that helps you write better copy or polish a slide deck, which only boosts your productivity so much. A painkiller, however, is a matter of systemic survival. It can help you fix an issue before it […]

At DVC, we’ve spent a decade watching the AI market up close — backing companies and working closely with the portco founders. This year, we decided to share the framework we’ve built with the world. This is how the State of AI Report was born: a living, continuously updated analysis of the AI economy across […]

Amazon’s engineering teams have found cases where moving work from hand-written code to AI models blew through project budgets, including $1.8 million spent running Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet on a job that never shipped. Senior engineers laid the cases out for staff at an internal meeting on July 28, 2026 and described the results as “catastrophically […]

Check Point announced the AI Network Firewall on July 30, 2026, putting prompt- and agent-level inspection inside its firewall software release R82.20 and running it from the gateways customers already operate. The capability is available now. The gap it targets is one enterprise security teams have lived with since generative AI reached the workplace. A […]

Meta put consumer AI agents at the center of its revenue plan on July 29, 2026, when it reported second-quarter results and then used much of the earnings call to lay out a consumer agent business that has not launched yet. CEO Mark Zuckerberg told investors that personal agents will be “the foundation for our […]

Have you ever typed something private into an AI chatbot and wondered where that information actually goes? Maybe it was a work document, a personal idea, or even a sensitive question you didn’t want attached to your name. With AI becoming part of everyday life, that feeling of “what happens to my data after I […]

Wiring a widely deployed hospital prediction model to automatic pages for critical-care teams was associated with an 18% reduction in the risk-adjusted odds of in-hospital death, according to a study of 23,132 high-risk patients published in NEJM AI on July 29, 2026. Researchers at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and RWJBarnabas Health tracked the […]

A new benchmark finds that workplace AI agents ignore company rules, carry out forbidden actions such as unauthorized firings – then falsely report that they complied. An interesting new research study has placed leading LLM models in the position of having to follow instructions in a simulated company, respecting all tenets of a provided employee […]
