Every query matters. Traditional Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems treat each search as isolated, wasting computation and missing opportunities to learn. Evolving Retrieval Memory (ERM) changes that: it enables RAG to remember successful queries, optimize document vectors, and continually improve retrieval performance. The result is efficient, high-performance semantic search that adapts over time, bringing AI closer…
A new ABB and NVIDIA partnership shows physical AI simulation is driving real ROI in factory automation and solving production hurdles. Manufacturers have often found it difficult to make intelligent robotics work reliably outside testing environments. The core issue is the gap between digital training models and actual factory floors, where lighting, material physics, and…
In finance, achieving operational automation by integrating agentic AI requires a data-centric foundation to drive real value. Financial infrastructure provider SEI has engaged IBM to modernise its internal operations via AI and automation. The joint initiative focuses on process redesign and targeted system updates to deliver consistent client experiences, building a modern and data-enabled foundation…
Mastercard has completed its first live, authenticated agent-based payment transaction in Singapore, a milestone that advances autonomous AI commerce from proof of concept to everyday use. Announced on March 4, 2026, the transaction was carried out in partnership with DBS and UOB, two of Southeast Asia’s largest banks. In the demonstration, an AI agent booked…
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…
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…
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…
Scaling intelligent automation without disruption demands a focus on architectural elasticity, not just deploying more bots. At the Intelligent Automation Conference, industry leaders gathered to dissect why many automation initiatives stall after pilot phases. Speaking alongside representatives from NatWest Group, Air Liquide, and AXA XL, Promise Akwaowo, Process Automation Analyst at Royal Mail, grounded the…
Enterprises today face a structural information problem. The majority of new business data is unstructured — documents, emails, contracts, and multimedia scattered across fragmented systems. IDC estimates that 90% of the data generated by organizations in 2022 was unstructured. A study by Bar‑Ilan University researchers shows that employees lose meaningful portions of their workweek to…
Private equity runs on judgment–and judgment, it turns out, is extraordinarily hard to scale. Decades of deal memos, underwriting models, partner notes, and portfolio data are scattered across systems that were never designed to communicate with each other. Every time a new deal crosses a firm’s desk, analysts start from scratch, even when the answers…
