Supply chains are the lifeblood of global commerce, yet they remain plagued by inefficiencies—delays, stockouts, overproduction, and unpredictable disruptions. Enter autonomous AI agents, the silent orchestrators now optimizing logistics with superhuman precision. Unlike traditional software, these agents learn, adapt, and make decisions in real-time, often without human intervention. “AI agents don’t just follow rules—they rewrite them. In supply chains, they’re the new invisible workforce.“ — Dr. Elena Rodriguez, MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics From Walmart’s inventory bots to Maersk’s self-adjusting shipping routes, AI agents are transforming supply chains in ways most businesses don’t even realize. Here’s how. 1. Predictive Procurement: No More…
The robots in my building are multiplying. It started with one roughly the size of a doghouse that cleans the floors, and not very well — a commercial-grade Roomba that talks to you if you get in its way. Somehow, I’m always in its way.My landlord was clearly excited about the new, technical marvel of an addition to the building, which takes up half the size of a New York City block. There are plenty of floors to clean and human hours of labor to save. Then my landlord told me the robot, which had been confined to the lobby,…
Ravie LakshmananJan 23, 2026Network Security / Vulnerability Fortinet has officially confirmed that it’s working to completely plug a FortiCloud SSO authentication bypass vulnerability following reports of fresh exploitation activity on fully-patched firewalls. “In the last 24 hours, we have identified a number of cases where the exploit was to a device that had been fully upgraded to the latest release at the time of the attack, which suggested a new attack path,” Fortinet Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Carl Windsor said in a Thursday post. The activity essentially mounts to a bypass for patches put in place by the network…
After years of high drama, the joint venture to keep the TikTok in the U.S. has been finalized. In a public announcement, TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC said the 200 million Americans and 7.5 million businesses that use TikTok in the U.S. can rest easy. The deal is done. The announcement comes on the cusp of the long-delayed deadline set by President Trump in December. TikTok’s Beijing-based owner, ByteDance Ltd., will retain a 19.9% stake in the U.S. operation, while the joint venture will be overseen by a board of seven directors. Oracle Corp., United Arab Emirates investment firm MGX and…
The line between science fiction and reality is getting blurrier thanks to MIT researchers who have developed a system that can turn spoken commands into physical objects within minutes. The “Speech-to-Reality” platform integrates natural language processing, 3D generative AI, geometric analysis, and robotic assembly. The platform enables on-demand fabrication of furniture, functional and decorative items without requiring users to have expertise in 3D modeling or robotics. The system workflow begins with speech recognition, converting a user’s spoken input into text. A large language model (LLM) interprets the text to identify the requested physical object while filtering out abstract or non-actionable…
TikTok has finalized the deal for its US entity, with its parent company ByteDance selling majority of its stake to a group of non-Chinese investors. The deal was closed just before the Trump Administration’s latest deadline, banning the app in the US unless it was divested from ByteDance, which will only retain 20 percent of the new entity. TikTok’s investors will own 80 percent, with Oracle, Silver Lake and MGX, an Emirati-state owned investment firm, taking 15 percent each. Other investors include the investment firm of Dell’s CEO.The terms of the deal were first leaked last month, after TikTok CEO…
Share of Search predicts market share before sales data confirms it. But most teams track it like a vanity metric and miss the real patterns. Marketing teams love metrics that sound important. Brand awareness. Engagement rate. Impressions. Share of voice. All numbers that look good in a deck but rarely connect to revenue. Then there’s Share of Search. It’s different. Not because it measures something new, but because it predicts something old: market share. The correlation is consistent. Brands with higher Share of Search tend to gain market share. Brands with a declining Share of Search tend to lose it.…
Cloud computing’s agility has permanently reshaped enterprise IT, but it also exposes new layers of vulnerability. Modern organizations run thousands of workloads across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud while orchestrating containers, microservices, and APIs that shift by the minute. Security teams face a paradox: every innovation that accelerates development also multiplies risk. Agent-based protection once served as the foundation of visibility, but installing and maintaining agents across constantly changing environments is both time-consuming and disruptive. “Security teams are being asked to move faster while their attack surface expands, whether they like it or not,” said Gil Geron, co-founder and CEO…
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has once again laid out an ambitious timeline for the company’s long-awaited humanoid robot, Optimus. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Musk said Tesla plans to begin selling Optimus robots to the public by the end of 2027, assuming the machines reach the levels of reliability, safety, and functionality the company is targeting. Tesla The comments follow a series of years-long development milestones. Optimus, which was originally unveiled as the Tesla Bot in 2021, has undergone multiple prototype iterations and has already been pressed into service handling simple tasks in Tesla factories. According to…
Hello Cyber Builders 🖖Every day, I talk to security pros, MSSPs, CISOs, risk analysts, SOC operators, and more. They tell me what frustrates them, what they want, and where cybersecurity still falls short.At the same time, I work daily with startup founders—passionate individuals driven to build businesses and innovate. In today’s world, especially with the speed of AI, change is rapid. But what does not change is how to reach your next customers, build trust, and partner with them. Going to market in cybersecurity requires best practices and has specific requirements. I’m kicking off a new series on GTM. In…
