Pentagon inks deals with Nvidia, Microsoft, and AWS to deploy AI on classified networks
The deals come as the DOD has doubled down on diversifying its exposure to AI vendors in the wake of its controversial dispute with Anthropic over usage terms of its AI models.
Operationalizing AI for Scale and Sovereignty
Companies are taking control of their own data to tailor AI for their needs. The challenge lies in balancing ownership with the safe, trusted flow of high‑quality data needed to power reliable insights. This conversation from MIT Technology Review’s EmTech AI conference examines how AI factories unlock new levels of scale, sustainability, and governance—positioning data…
Enforcing trust and transparency: Open-sourcing the Azure Integrated HSM
As cloud workloads become more agentic and AI systems handle increasingly sensitive data, trust must be engineered directly into infrastructure. Azure Integrated HSM brings hardware‑enforced key protection into Azure, extending cryptographic trust from silicon to services through verifiable and transparent design. The post Enforcing trust and transparency: Open-sourcing the Azure Integrated HSM appeared first on Microsoft Azure Blog .

New 3D device harnesses living brain cells for computing
Princeton researchers have combined brain cells and advanced electronics into a single 3D device that can be programmed to recognize patterns using computational techniques. Past attempts at using brain cells to do computation have relied on 2D cultures grown in a petri dish or 3D clusters that are probed and monitored from outside. The Princeton device takes a different approach, working from the inside out.
