ADP says payroll and HR automation must be paired with human expertise because automating flawed processes can scale errors instead of removing them. ADP’s Potential of Payroll 2026 research found 68% of payroll leaders incur penalties for noncompliance once or twice a year.

EliseAI raised $350 million in new funding to value the company at $4 billion after nearly doubling its valuation from a year earlier. The round was led by Andreessen Horowitz and Bessemer Venture Partners and includes Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, coming about 13 months after a $250 million Series E valued EliseAI at $2.2 billion. The money will go toward product development and expanding engineering, deployment, and sales teams, including plans for a second San Francisco engineering hub.
Microsoft Research introduced Quine, a research system combining a multimodal biology world model with a harness that connects models, scientific tools, literature, and researchers to run an iterative experiment–reasoning loop.
Apheris and Ginkgo Datapoints launched the Antibody Developability Consortium with founding pharma members to create standardized antibody developability datasets and train models. The effort will scale to 10,000 antibodies total, with Ginkgo filling remaining capacity from public sources. Members will be able to train, benchmark, and refine AI models on the shared dataset in Apheris’s federated environment without sharing raw proprietary sequences, and the consortium plans to deliver its initial dataset by early 2027.
