Burnaby's CIO went from putting out fires to catching them with AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An AI camera system Bachar Khawajah’s team installed to watch over Burnaby Mountain picked up smoke from a fire in a neighbouring city and alerted Burnaby’s fire department before it had been told there was a fire at all. That is not the story most people expect from municipal IT, and it is one small piece of what Khawajah has built as chief information officer for the City of Burnaby, British Columbia’s third-largest city. Khawajah is a finalist for the 2026 CanadianCIO of the Year Award in the
Motiv launches Opal, a platform for running your company on AI agents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the most interesting AI demos I’ve seen this year looks like a to-do list.

At least three firm were showcasing so-called agentic phones at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai this weekend — heralding what may be to
What tech leaders should take from Mozilla's inaugural open source AI report (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The economics of running AI broke at Microsoft, Uber and Stripe this year, and each company responded differently. Microsoft cancelled most of its Claude Code licenses at the end of June because the pay-per-use billing had eaten its division’s annual AI budget in a matter of months, according to a new report from Mozilla.
