'Faster code is not the same as better software delivered sooner': New report claims AI isn't solving productivity across the entire software development lifecycle - yet
THE SO WHAT
If AI is only speeding up coding but not the full lifecycle, the constraint has moved to design, integration, and verification. Treat AI coding tools as accelerators inside a reworked SDLC — not as a magic lever on “developer productivity.”

Applied AIGM is giving OnStar an AI makeover
GM turning a 30-year-old connected car product into an AI surface is a signal that OEMs want to own the in-vehicle assistant, not hand it to phones or third-party apps. If you're building automotive services, design for OEM-controlled AI interfaces and APIs, not just CarPlay and Android Auto.
AI rivals are thirsty for SpaceX's compute, Elon Musk says
If hyperscalers are “hounding” SpaceX for compute, orbital and remote sites are becoming part of the AI capacity map, not a sideshow. For teams planning multi-year training roadmaps, power, geography, and non-traditional providers now belong in the sourcing conversation.
Applied AIHow AT&T is rethinking in-house legal work with OpenAI
AT&T using OpenAI to rewire legal intake and knowledge access shows that even high-risk, judgment-heavy functions are moving from "AI as search" to "AI as workflow fabric." If you're in a regulated domain, the question is no longer whether to use models, but how to encode review, privilege, and audit into the agent loop.
Applied AIHarvey adds Australian startup Mary’s case-fact tools to its legal AI
Harvey wiring in Mary’s case-fact system — plus Autologyx — is a move toward AI that sits on top of a firm’s actual evidentiary graph, not generic text. If you’re buying legal AI, the key question is now: how cleanly does it plug into your fact base and workflows, not how clever the model is.
