When customers talk about AI costs, the conversation usually starts with token prices and ends with access to the latest, most capable model in the cloud. Do they always need that level of capability? Not necessarily. But that is often where the conversation goes. As AI moves from experimentation to production, model choice is only part of the equation. When demand becomes steady and business-critical, a consumption-only approach can turn AI spending into a variable monthly line item that is difficult to forecast as usage, workloads, and model requirements change. At that point, the question is no longer simply which model to consume, or which provider offers the lowest token price: It is how to run AI economically, predictably, and at sustained scale. AI is moving from isolated pilots into production portfolios: assistants, retrieval-and-knowledge systems, and agentic applications. Customer-service, IT, research, and business-process agents can execute multi-step workflows across enterprise systems, creating recurring demand across models, data, and tools.
This is already starting to happen. Deloitte’s 2026 State of AI in the Enterprise reflects what many leaders are seeing:
Susmita Pandey, a health assistant at the Timure health post in northern Nepal, is one of more than 6,000 missing people following the country's deadly flash floods in late August. Eight months pregnant and mother of a 2‑year‑old, Pandey has not been heard from since August 26.
Timure was swept away by the flood that originated from the mountain range on the China-Nepal border after a rock-ice avalanche, labeled a "Himalayan Tsunami" and caught on CCTV camera for the world to witness. Scientists say human-induced climate change likely intensified the cascading impact of the flood. An analysis by World Weather Attribution noted that rapidly rising temperatures, driven by fossil-fuel emissions, destabilized the rock and ice. Per the latest data, the death toll has risen to 1,451.
Today, American Airlines and Alaska Airlines announced their intent for Alaska Airlines to join American’s Atlantic and Pacific Joint Businesses, expanding international travel opportunities for customers and strengthening access to premium global travel experiences.
The carriers anticipate filing for approval and antitrust immunity with the U. S. Department of Transportation and seeking other relevant approvals from international regulators in the coming months. The announcement builds upon the existing relationship between Alaska, American, and their oneworld partners across the Atlantic and the Pacific.
The artificial intelligence industry needs to become creative with new propositions to earn $6 trillion in annual revenue by 2031 and justify the capital being deployed for data centres, a new report from Bain and Company has shown. Revenue from new product development is projected to become the biggest contributor to the industry, estimated to generate about $4.2 trillion to fund the booming technology's global market within the next half-decade, the US consultancy said in its latest technology report series on Tuesday. That segment would include innovations in search, advertising, autonomy and physical AI, analysts at Boston-based Bain said. Enterprise productivity would require $1 trillion to $1.4 trillion in revenue in order to support gains in areas such as software development, sales, marketing, customer service and IT operations, they said. Absorption speed, defined as the pace at which companies can put AI to work, has become the “new competitive variable”, according to Bain, leading AI labs are investing upwards of $9.75 billion in engineering models to help companies assimilate faster, it said. “The debate today is fixated on employee productivity.

Greenland is capped with a vast ice sheet that spans 1.7 million square kilometers (656,000 square miles) and measures more than 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) at its thickest point. Below all this ice lies a landscape human eyes have never seen directly. But a newly developed method for mapping this hidden bedrock has produced the most detailed and accurate view of it yet.
The new map reveals an expansive network of valleys carved into the surface beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet. Many of the features formed well before most of the ice above them existed, offering new context for the island’s geologic history—and potentially helping scientists refine projections of the ice sheet’s future. Scientists described the newly mapped valleys in a NASA-led paper published in Geophysical Research Letters.
Technology isn't sitting quietly in the back office anymore. Saskatchewan crews need secure access to information from remote worksites.
If something goes wrong, like if a critical system becomes unavailable, crews can be left waiting - information can become harder to access, and productivity tanks.
By ESPNPublished: September 29, 2026 at 7:02p.m. EDTButch Harmon and Dottie Pepper, who came close to induction two years ago for the World Golf Hall of Fame, are among the 14 who have been announced as finalists for the 2027 induction class. A new system had the nominees broken down into four groups -- men, women, contributors and historic figures and amateurs. Nominating committees for each group narrowed the list to four men, four men, three contributors and three from the historical figures and amateurs. Jim Furyk, Adam Scott, Justin Rose and Corey Pavin are the men’s finalists. Pepper is joined as a finalist by Inbee Park, Cristie Kerr and Liselotte Neumann. Harmon is in the contributor’s category with CBS announcer Jim Nantz and British golf course architect Harry Colt. The final group has amateur great Jay Sigel, Canadian amateur Alexa Stirling and British golfer Ted Ray. A 24-member panel will vote on the induction class later this fall. The induction ceremony is scheduled for July 12 during the week of the Open Championship at St. Andrews.
One of the most significant anniversaries in human history just passed with no celebration or fanfare: the discovery of penicillin. Almost everyone alive today has grown up in the age of antibiotics, and so it’s easy to forget how world-altering this breakthrough was. Most of us wouldn’t make it to adulthood if it weren’t for the work of Sir Alexander Fleming, who shared the 1945 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine with Ernst Boris Chain and Howard Walter Florey, but is widely credited for his discovery on Sept. 28, 1928. I came to appreciate this anniversary the hard way, having recently flirted with disaster after disobeying the most common of doctor’s orders when prescribed an antibiotic: Finish all medication unless directed otherwise by your physician. This is advice I will never again ignore. But a few days into a 10-day course of an antibiotic I’d been prescribed for strep throat at the beginning of summer, I decided I’d had enough. The consequences arrived several weeks later. There was a sudden swelling of my feet and a strange rash on my legs and feet. Soon, my calves, too, ballooned.
When Noah Martin was in the third year of his undergrad at the University of Alberta, a brand new course caught his eye. Launched in winter 2025 by the College of Health Sciences, HLTH 100: Your Future in Health: Pathways and Possibilities incorporates material from all six faculties in the College of Health Sciences, introducing undergraduate students to the many health professions and how they intersect.
“I knew I wanted to work in health, but I wasn't sure if there was a clinical path that I wanted to take or if I wanted to go the public-health route or if I wanted to go the health-research route,” recalls Martin, who is now pursuing a master’s in community health science at the University of Calgary. “So I took the class to see the different opportunities that you can take in health science and understand where everyone fits into the puzzle.”
