If your company wants to give up its marketing budget, lay off half of its employees and solely use AI-generated content, then Airpost is "not for you," CEO and Founder John Gargiulo said.
"When I first started this job, the main push back I always got was that synthetic data will take over and you just will not need human feedback two to three years from now," said Fitzpatrick, who joined the startup last year. "From first principles, that actually doesn't make very much sense." Synthetic data refers to data that is artificially created.
We are now at the point where automation, machine learning and agentic orchestration can genuinely work together. This is not theory. It is already happening in defense and civilian agencies that have moved past pilots and into production, using agents that bring context, consistency and speed to complex workflows while preserving accountability. These seven principles for an agentic government give leaders a practical framework for adopting automation and AI responsibly.
Elon Musk and Tesla are touting the company's Optimus robot as its next revolutionary moneymaker, but after several incidents, some are questioning how autonomous it actually is. During an event titled "autonomy visualized" at a Tesla location in Miami over the weekend, one of the humanoid robots handing out water bottles fell backwards after making upward motions toward its head with both hands, according to a video posted to Reddit.
In eLearning's embrace of AI, like with our very own learners, there is the understanding that the human comes first. In Machine Learning, this is the human-in-the-loop (HITL), where humans help the machine make the correct decisions. In Instructional Design, this is the understanding that the designer imbues their humanity into their coursework to ensure a relatable, accurate, engaging learning experience, and not merely an efficient production.
In recent years, leading artificial intelligence labs and startups have released AI software designed for tasks of ever-growing complexity, including solving PhD-level math problems, reasoning through complex questions step-by-step, and using tools like web browsers to carry out intricate tasks. The role of AI engineers in making that happen is well-documented- and often well-compensated. But less publicized is the role of a growing army of freelance experts, from physicists and mathematicians to photographers and art critics, enlisted by companies specialized in AI training, itself a multibillion-dollar industry.
Before an attacker ever sends a payload, they've already done the work of understanding how your environment is built. They look at your login flows, your JavaScript files, your error messages, your API documentation, your GitHub repos. These are all clues that help them understand how your systems behave. AI is significantly accelerating reconnaissance and enabling attackers to map your environment with greater speed and precision.
Imagine driving across town during rush hour. You might have a planned route, but traffic jams, roadwork, or weather force you to adapt - taking detours, checking traffic apps, looping back, or even stopping for coffee until things clear up. That's because our interactions with reality rarely follow a script; they're a series of adjustments and feedback loops. As the technology landscape continues to evolve, established practices are giving way to innovative solutions.
