Banks have spent years buying analytics tools and automation software. Now some are taking a different step: building internal spaces where AI can be tested directly on real banking problems. One example emerged in India this month. City Union Bank recently entered a four-party agreement to create a Centre of Excellence for Artificial Intelligence in

The UK sovereign AI fund intends to secure advantages by providing a domestic alternative to external computing infrastructure. Backed by a £500 million budget from the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, the unit formally launches on April 16th at 6pm GMT. James Wise, Partner at Balderton Capital, chairs the function to coordinate efforts across

AI insurance underwriting has been called the next frontier of insurtech for years. The difference now is that the money backing it has moved from venture bets into institutional conviction. On March 3, Boston-based Gradient AI securedgrowth capital financing from CIBC Innovation Banking, a lender with over 25 years of experience backing growth-stage technology companies and

Large language models (LLMs) and AI agents aren’t important to software engineering because they can write code at superhuman speeds. Without the right guardrails, as I’ve highlighted, that speed simply translates into mass-produced technical debt. No, agentic coding matters because it fundamentally changes what counts as good software engineering. For years, developers could get away

Everyone working on artificial intelligence these days fears the worst-case scenario. The precocious LLM will suddenly glide off the rails and start spouting dangerous thoughts. One minute it’s a genius that’s going to take all our jobs, and the next it’s an odd crank spouting hatred, insurrection, or worse. Fortunately, there are solutions. Some scientists
