Solutions Review Set to Host Planview for Exclusive Spotlight Show “AI-Powered Portfolio Management: Turn Strategy into Business Value” on November 25

Reporting on delivery is the foundation, not the destination. Strategy-to-outcome transparency is the next horizon: a trusted, connected view of which outcomes your investment serves, what is committed, what is deliverable and what value is being realised. AI is now making it practical, taking manual effort out of planning, forecasting and reporting so portfolio teams can spend their time steering rather than collating.

EdTech Series: How Do Students Advance When AI Does the Entry-Level Work? by Amanda Kavner, PhD

I’ve been watching this problem come into focus from two directions at once, because I’m both a cognitive neuroscientist who studies how people build expertise and someone who runs production autonomous AI systems in my own work. It isn’t hypothetical for me, since I hit it every time I design a workflow and every time a student submits something that tells me they reached the answer without doing the thinking.

CoreWeave Launches Managed PostgreSQL Alongside GPU Workloads

CoreWeave has made CoreWeave Database generally available, placing managed PostgreSQL on CPU nodes inside customers’ CoreWeave Kubernetes Service clusters. Keeping application state, workflow metadata, and embeddings alongside training and inference workloads eliminates the cross-cloud connection otherwise needed to reach an external database. The service includes automatic failover, continuous backups, point-in-time recovery, encryption, and pgvector support for semantic retrieval.

Denodo And AWS Expand Collaboration Around Governed Data Access For AI Agents

Denodo has signed a multiyear strategic collaboration agreement with AWS covering customer workshops, co-selling, commercial incentives, and systems-integrator offerings for agentic AI. The agreement extends their existing relationship rather than introducing a standalone product. Denodo’s data layer connects AWS AI services with live information across on-premises, SaaS, sovereign, and multicloud environments without requiring new copies. Shared data products, semantic definitions, and access policies can then support multiple agents, reducing the need to build a separate data-access architecture for each application.

Fivetran Study Finds Data Repairs Consume A Significant Share Of AI Budgets

Fivetran’s new report, The AI Tax: The Hidden Cost When AI Isn’t Connected to Your Data, found that 39% of companies spend at least a quarter of their AI budgets addressing data problems. Those costs include fixing data quality, rebuilding integrations, and reprocessing information—work that diverts funding from developing and deploying AI capabilities. The findings frame connected, reliable data infrastructure as part of AI economics.

Stanford’s AI100 Report Finds AI Deployment Outrunning Governance And Economic Evidence

The third AI100 report, produced by an interdisciplinary panel led by Oxford’s Michael Wooldridge and administered through Stanford HAI, examines AI’s widening effects on science, work, security, and public trust. It argues that future progress will require more efficient algorithms and deeper reasoning as data and training-cost constraints challenge scaling. The report also highlights a gap between infrastructure investment and demonstrated economy-wide returns, alongside fragmented governance and limited public participation.
