Key Takeaways: Organizations that manage customer communications across disconnected systems face compounding costs, compliance exposure, and inconsistent customer experiences that erode loyalty over time. A unified omnichannel communications platform gives business teams the speed and autonomy they need to deliver personalized, compliant messages across every channel — without increasing IT burden or regulatory risk. Governed AI embedded directly into communication workflows is enabling regulated industries to modernize faster and with greater confidence than ever before. Most organizations aren’t short on channels. They have email, SMS, print, video, chat, portals … the list goes on. The problem is that achieving truly…

The Instagram accounts for the Obama White House and the Chief Master Sergeant of the U.S. Space Force were briefly defaced with pro-Iranian images and messages over the weekend, after instructions began circulating on Telegram showing how to trick Meta’s “AI support assistant” bot into resetting account passwords. A screenshot from a video released on Telegram claiming to show how Meta’s AI customer support bot could be tricked into resetting a target’s password. On May 31, word began to spread on several Telegram instant message channels that Meta’s AI bot would happily add an email address to an existing account…

VANCOUVER — Joanna Kyriazis, director of policy and strategy at Clean Energy Canada, made the following statement in response to newly released federal vehicle sales data for March:“We knew March would be an important month for EV sales: it was the first month that fully captured the return of the $5,000 federal EV rebate in February, and it was the month the war in Iran began driving up gas prices. “The anecdotal evidence that Canadians were increasingly looking to go electric was strong, but today’s numbers are unmistakable: Canada saw a 75% increase in EV sales in March compared to the…

This is the second story in our Voices from the Field series. Read the first blog about farmers building resilient local economies across rural America. This World Ocean Day, I chatted with ocean conservation nonprofit Blue Ventures about…people. Seems unusual, right? When I think of the ocean, I picture a chatty coral reef, bubbling with colorful parrotfish and angelfish. Or maybe a smiley pod of dolphins, or velvety seaweed tangling on the seafloor. But London-based nonprofit Blue Ventures situates the conversation around oceans differently. Aligning with the Cisco Foundation’s $100M climate commitment to invest in tech-based nature preservation solutions, their…

For years, our social media experiences have been dominated by Big Tech players like Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp), Google (YouTube), Snapchat, TikTok, and X. But a growing number of startups are taking aim at these giants by building new, often smaller and more personal social networking experiences to connect people with friends, interests, and tighter-knit communities. If you’re looking for a way to extricate yourself from the grip of traditional social media and Big Tech products in general, there are a number of interesting alternatives available. Many of them cater to Gen Z and younger, a group that’s often more…

Organizations across sectors are undergoing a structural shift as AI solutions redefine operational workflows and challenge traditional execution models. Software-driven organizations are exploring how AI can boost efficiency, productivity, creativity, and value while reducing costs. At the same time, organizations such as OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Anthropic are rapidly releasing new versions of frontier models with increasingly advanced capabilities including agentic features and ability to tailor to specific tasks. Two years ago, early generative AI models could barely complete simple cyber tasks. Today, Claude Mythos and GPT-5.5 can autonomously execute complicated multi-stage attacks on vulnerable networks. By the time this…

I don’t know if I’m the only one who feels this way, but flagship smartphones just don’t excite me anymore. The main reason is that hardware innovation has slowed to a crawl, at least in the phones most of us will actually end up buying. Whether it’s Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel or Apple’s iPhone, every launch feels increasingly predictable. That’s not to say these companies aren’t improving their phones. Every year brings a faster chip, a brighter display, and some software tweaks. But if you pay attention to the marketing, almost everything revolves around one thing – the camera. Samsung…

Forty-one years ago, the late singer, songwriter, and education activist Whitney Houston urged us to teach children and let them lead the way.Decades later, some believe that this means instructing kids to use scissors as forks; teaching them that zookeepers can sweep under water; and leading them to believe that magical, mystical, rainbow-hunting unicorns speak like an HR manager delivering a performance review.There’s also video after video and post after post claiming that it’s not just easy to write and illustrate a children’s book using AI prompts, but also that you can make thousands of dollars doing so.The good news…
