Companies are investing in AI at record levels, yet most are still struggling to translate it into measurable business value. The well-known MIT study, State of AI in Business 2025, concludes that 95% of enterprise GenAI pilots have failed to deliver results. Despite questions about its methodology and scope, the report aligns with what many companies are seeing in practice. Far less attention has been paid to why this is happening. In 2026, the root causes of these failures are becoming unmistakably clear to those on the front lines of the tech industry. Why AI is failing to deliver business…

Researchers at Nebula Security have disclosed GhostLock (CVE-2026-43499), a 15-year-old Linux kernel flaw that lets any logged-in user take full root control of a machine that has not been patched. The vulnerable code has shipped by default in essentially every mainstream distribution since 2011. The flaw needs no special permission, no unusual settings, and no network access; ordinary threading calls from any local program are enough. Nebula turned it into a working root exploit that is 97% reliable in its testing and also escapes containers, and says Google awarded the team $92,337 through its kernelCTF bug-bounty program. No one is known to be exploiting it in…

Meta is working on a tool to ID images and video created with its new image generation model, Muse Image. The company showed off a preview of the web-based tool that can check for the invisible watermarks used by the new model. This watermarking system, called Content Seal, remains in place “even when cropped, compressed, resized, or screenshotted,” Meta explains in a blog post. “We’re previewing a detection tool that lets you check whether an image carries a Content Seal watermark, providing an initial way to help you better understand if an image was made with Meta AI.” Content Seal…

In today’s world, artificial intelligence chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude can perform many functions, such as composing work emails and planning travel itineraries. These chatbots are systems built around large vision-language models (VLMs): AI trained on a massive dataset that includes books, websites, code, and images. The AI algorithms are then refined on massive amounts of human-generated feedback to follow instructions and avoid harmful or unwanted output, and use that “knowledge” to produce text or images based on input from a user. Although chatbots have clear limitations, they can be very helpful for a wide range of tasks, including in…

Meta Platforms Inc. today debuted an image generation model that can write code and search the web. Muse Image is the second algorithm released to date by Meta Superintelligence Labs, the company’s artificial intelligence research group. The first is the Muse Spark large language model that made its debut in April. Both algorithms are available through the Meta AI chatbot. Muse Image can generate images based on highly detailed, multi-sentence user prompts. It’s also capable of editing existing photos. Users can have the model remove elements such as fog, change the camera angle and perform other changes. The Meta AI…

Know what you want your printer to doWhat you intend to print will determine the best printer for you. If you’re mostly working with shopping lists, concert tickets, or travel itineraries, excellent print quality is arguably less important than print speed and price. If you’re using your printer for professional materials or photo printing, then color accuracy, printing quality, and features like borderless printing will be primary considerations when choosing the right home printer.Inkjet versus Laser or other typesThe two main types of home printers are Inkjet and laser. Both have different benefits and pitfalls. There also other choices if…

AI agents aren’t replacing your B2B team. They’re doing the work nobody had time for. Here’s what real AI agent workflows look like when they’re actually running. Most B2B conversations about AI agents stay theoretical for too long. The whitepapers describe what’s coming. The vendor demos show a polished version of what the product can do in ideal conditions. And somewhere between the vision and the reality, the people responsible for implementation are left trying to figure out where to actually start. Here’s what that middle ground looks like when teams get it right. Not the future version. The version…
