IN THIS ISSUE: New Workday research reveals that most employees are still spending their days manually bridging broken systems, even as AI adoption spreads. Then, a new Gallup survey finds most Americans don’t want AI data centers in their backyards, putting a number on the public resistance threatening the industry’s $700 billion infrastructure push.

For years, enterprises have struggled to govern AI where it actually runs, across clouds, tools, and now, increasingly, the desktops where employees do their work. ServiceNow thinks it has an answer, and it’s building the solution with Nvidia. Project Arc is the result: an enterprise desktop agent designed to bring autonomous capabilities seen in tools […]]]> https://thelettertwo.com/2026/05/13/project-arc-servicenow-nvidia-enterprise-desktop-agent/feed/ 0 32931 https://thelettertwo.com/2026/05/12/aws-kiro-neurosymbolic-ai-reliable-coding/ https://thelettertwo.com/2026/05/12/aws-kiro-neurosymbolic-ai-reliable-coding/#respond Tue, 12 May 2026 17:00:00 +0000 https://thelettertwo.com/?p=32899

In software development, the costliest mistake rarely lives in the code. It lives in the requirements that came before it. Typically, the issue arose because a developer interpreted the specs differently from the author—and that’s human-to-human. Imagine how much more challenging this can be when vibe-coding. That’s why Amazon Web Services (AWS) is updating its […]]]> https://thelettertwo.com/2026/05/12/aws-kiro-neurosymbolic-ai-reliable-coding/feed/ 0 32899 https://thelettertwo.com/2026/05/12/glean-enterprise-agent-development-lifecycle/ https://thelettertwo.com/2026/05/12/glean-enterprise-agent-development-lifecycle/#respond Tue, 12 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 https://thelettertwo.com/?p=32908

Enterprises have spent the past year building AI agents. Now they have to figure out what to do with them. To help, Glean has released its Enterprise Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC), a framework that gives Chief Information Officers and IT leaders a repeatable path to scale agents across their organizations. “Agents are software.

Enterprises that have gone the build-your-own route with agentic AI—picking their own models and standing up their own agent infrastructure on platforms like Amazon Bedrock AgentCore—have had to figure out governance themselves. ServiceNow is offering them a shortcut.

As the AI industry builds agents with greater capabilities and freedom to do what they want, Twilio is choosing to build the layer that decides whether they should.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is building the infrastructure that lets AI agents transact on behalf of humans—with their consent, of course.
