Microsoft opened a new front in the AI security wars on Monday, unveiling its first custom-built cybersecurity model and a sweeping agentic defense platform — and making an argument that could reshape how enterprises buy AI: the future belongs not to the biggest model, but to the cheapest one that’s good enough, routed intelligently. The …
If your business depends on people clicking through to web pages, the last two years have been brutal. Pew Research Center tracked the browsing behavior of 900 U.S. adults and found that when Google shows an AI summary, users click a traditional result just 8% of the time, roughly half the 15% rate when no …
