The AI boomerang: Why rehiring is harder than letting go (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After cutting staff in the hopes AI could replace their labor, many companies are now reversing course. But winning back spurned talent is its own challenge. Being laid off with no notice is a gut punch. For people who gave a company years of their professional life, it's especially painful. Then comes the worse discovery: AI has gutted the whole industry, not just their former employer, and the openings that were once plentiful have dried up and blown away. A tech career no longer seems so stab
Can quantum take the load off AI's power problem? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can quantum chips help ease AI's growing power problem? Here's what's plausible, what's hype and what a CIO should watch. Picture this: Giant AI data centers keep multiplying, pushing already strained power grids into a full-blown energy crisis. The strain on the grid forces Big Tech to slow the pace of new AI data center construction. But some quantum computing researchers are saying there is another option. They argue that the hybrid quantum-classical approach offers a narrow but real escape v

But that unrealistic assumption can set enterprises on equally unrealistic trajectories; Gartner predicts that 40% of agentic AI projects will collapse by next year. The prevailing consensus is that the model is a

Learn the questions and evaluation criteria CIOs can use to separate genuine AI agents from marketing hype before signing a contract. Many AI products labeled as AI agents are little more than dressed-up chatbots or repackaged assistants, a practice called "agent washing." In a report published in May, Gartner warned IT leaders should be careful not to "mistake vendor positioning for t
