Measuring AI success: beyond time saved

A case studied at the Community College of Philadelphia shows why saved hours are not enough to evaluate AI value. In some processes, the real gains appear in better decisions, fewer reworks, and clearer handoffs.

    Neurotech: the real race is not only Neuralink

    Brain-computer interfaces are moving beyond spectacular demos. The real question is becoming more concrete: surgery, reimbursement, patient access, clinical evidence, and the ability to move from lab result to care pathway.

    Meta: when support AI becomes a security flaw

    Meta’s Instagram account recovery incident shows a concrete AI operations risk: once an AI-assisted system touches account recovery, the danger is not only what it says, but what it can trigger.
