Applied AIDisrupting a Criminal Scam Operation
AI-native fraud is now organized enough that labs are running counter-intel ops against specific scam shops. If your product touches payments, dating, or gambling, assume you’re already in an arms race with LLM-augmented fraud rings and budget for continuous abuse tooling, not one-off rules.
Applied AIHow is your enterprise tracking AI agent telemetry? Groundcover thinks it should never leave your cloud
Agent observability is becoming its own category—and the control point is where that telemetry lives. If you're deploying agents against sensitive workflows, treat logs and traces like production data and bias toward in-cloud, first-party, or self-hosted observability over third-party SaaS.
Applied AIBig Tech Holds $2 Trillion of Spending Commitments for AI Boom
With ~$2.4 trillion in future AI data center commitments, the constraint for everyone else is no longer "will there be enough compute" but "at what price and on whose terms." If you're not one of the hyperscalers, assume capacity will exist but design your roadmap around volatile pricing, long-term contracts, and regional availability risk.
Applied AIThe Next AI Boom Is in Health Care and Robotics, Says Lux Capital's Shakir
The center of gravity is shifting from general-purpose models to regulated, high-stakes verticals where trust and integration matter more than raw benchmarks. Operators in health care and robotics should be prioritizing data partnerships, compliance posture, and deployment playbooks over chasing the latest model drop.
