The AI complexity paradox: More productivity, more responsibilities

zdnet.com Joe Mckendrick 2026-01-31 12:04:27

peepo/Getty Images Does artificial intelligence (AI) make working life easier or complicated? Experts suggest the answer depends on the context. In a recent IDC-hosted interview, SIAC CEO Toni Townes-Whitley described AI as the ultimate weapon against system complexity, noting that her company is employing AI to reduce tech complexity in some of the most complex technology environments on the planet -- within the US Department of Defense.

Don’t let hype about AI agents get ahead of reality

technologyreview.com Yoav Shoham 2026-02-05 18:00:00

Let’s start with the term “agent” itself. Right now, it’s being slapped on everything from simple scripts to sophisticated AI workflows. There’s no shared definition, which leaves plenty of room for companies to market basic automation as something much more advanced. That kind of “agentwashing” doesn’t just confuse customers; it invites disappointment. We don’t necessarily need a rigid standard, but we do need clearer expectations about what these systems are supposed to do, how autonomously th
