The Linux Foundation has announced the formation of the Agentic AI Foundation, bringing together Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, and other major tech companies to advance open source development of autonomous AI systems.
Anthropic recently launched a multi-million dollar Super Bowl advertising campaign criticizing OpenAI's decision to start showing ads within ChatGPT.
In a strategic move to reduce time-consuming manual data preparation, Microsoft has acquired Seattle-based startup Osmos, specializing in agentic AI for data engineering.
Fulfilling the promise of AI in higher education does not require massive budgets or radical reinvention. By leveraging existing infrastructure, embracing edge and localized AI, collaborating across institutions, and embedding AI thoughtfully across the enterprise, universities can move from experimentation to impact.
