The focus moves to integrated agents tied to enterprise data and workflows, with governance and task-level policies used to scale digital workers and reduce handoffs.
Vanderbilt University extended its identity governance approach to cover AI agents used in institutional workflows. Vanderbilt’s environment includes more than $1 billion in research, which complicates access decisions across multiple concurrent user identities.

NatWest’s AI Adoption Report finds that UK businesses are split between early-stage AI pilots and a small share that has embedded AI to change operations. Only 6% of firms are at the “transforming” stage, while adoption is much higher among companies with more than 100 employees (67% vs 36%) and most early users report time savings of 1% to 10% compared with 61% to 70% for transforming firms. NatWest responds by expanding training and support (including 5,000 AI engagements over 12 months), adding Google Cloud assistance, and launching a pilot with Lancaster University to help smaller firms move beyond experimentation.

As a result, Duqu plans to grow both the business and its modular, white-label AI credit assessment offering to banks and lenders.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine made European gas costs and supply security less predictable, forcing the energy transition to be planned around affordability and reliability as well as emissions cuts. Europe’s energy mix is cited as 48% renewables and 28% nuclear in 2024, but the article argues regulation should speed industry adoption and avoid slowing it while tightening emissions from remaining fossil generation. The piece says AI—especially “physical AI” for buildings and factories—can improve efficiency by learning from real-world conditions and automating tasks like multi-detector safety testing, reducing manual energy waste and labor bottlenecks.

Tech Funding News’ Akansha Dimri moderated a panel with Michelin’s AI chief and a causaLens CEO, then judged HumanX Amsterdam’s AI startup pitch competition focused on scaling enterprise AI. Michelin’s internal generative AI platform has more than 30,000 users, but the panelists said only about a fifth of the company’s AI value comes from that “copilot” type usage. The event highlighted that enterprises must shift from copilots to custom models and redesigned workflows—because leadership and operational ROI, not just technology, determine whether AI becomes deployable and paid for.
