Several developments highlight the growing role of AI across various sectors. In Indonesia, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison and Cisco have launched a Sovereign Security Operations Center (SOC) that uses AI to detect cyber threats in real-time, aiming to protect Indonesian data and train one million people in cybersecurity by 2030. Procore is partnering with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enhance construction project delivery using Amazon Bedrock large language models (LLMs), with Balfour Beatty already seeing improved efficiency. BingX AI, a cryptocurrency exchange's AI trading assistant, has rapidly gained 2 million users and processed 20 million queries, backed by BingX’s $300 million AI Evolution Strategy. In healthcare, Cleveland Clinic is using Dyania Health’s Synapsis AI platform to accelerate clinical trial recruitment, while experts emphasize the need for community input in AI's application in public health. Librarians are testing AI tools to assess the accuracy of their answers compared to traditional Google searches. A Colorado Senate bill on AI regulation has been weakened due to disagreements over liability, delaying implementation until June 30, 2026. California Governor Gavin Newsom is using AI-generated images to respond to President Trump's memes, raising concerns about AI's use in politics. Meanwhile, a report from EisnerAmper indicates that only 22% of U.S. workers say their employers monitor their AI use, even though most have a positive experience with AI at work.

Indosat and Cisco launch cybersecurity center with AI in Indonesia
Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison and Cisco have launched Indonesia’s Sovereign Security Operations Center (SOC) to boost cybersecurity. The SOC uses Splunk Cloud Platform and Splunk Enterprise Security with AI to detect threats in real-time. This platform helps protect sensitive data under Indonesian law. Indosat and Cisco will also train one million Indonesians in cybersecurity by 2030. The SOC aims to help businesses and government agencies defend against cyber threats and support secure AI innovation.
Indosat and Cisco team up for AI security in Indonesia
Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison and Cisco have launched a Sovereign Security Operations Centre (SOC) in Indonesia. The SOC uses AI to detect cyber threats in real-time across different cloud systems. It includes Splunk Cloud Platform and Splunk Enterprise Security, meeting SOC 2 standards. The goal is to protect Indonesian data and help businesses comply with data rules. Indosat and Cisco also plan to train one million Indonesians in cybersecurity by 2030.
Colorado Senate weakens AI bill as agreement falls apart
The Colorado Senate has significantly weakened a bill on artificial intelligence regulation. A deal to change the 2024 AI law fell apart due to disagreements over liability. Senator Robert Rodriguez pushed an amendment to delay the law's implementation until June 30, 2026. The original bill aimed to prevent discrimination by companies using AI in important decisions. Businesses argued it would hurt innovation and might cause companies to leave Colorado.
Newsom uses AI to create memes targeting Trump
California Governor Gavin Newsom is using AI-generated images to respond to President Donald Trump's memes. Newsom's office has posted AI images of Trump wearing a crown and mocking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Newsom says he hopes to draw attention to Trump's social media activity. Some experts are concerned about using AI for political purposes, but Newsom has supported targeted AI regulation, especially regarding deepfakes.
Public health needs community input on AI
Generative AI is changing healthcare and public health, but it often lacks transparency and community input. It is important to include patient voices, especially from marginalized groups, in the development and use of AI. Health is personal and shaped by inequality, so AI systems must consider this context to avoid harm. AI tools are being used to improve diagnoses and analyze public health data.
Librarians test AI tools to find the best answers
Artificial intelligence tools claim to answer any question, but they can be wrong. Librarians tested nine AI tools with 30 tough research questions to see which gave the most correct answers. The librarians judged the AI's answers and compared them to traditional Google searches.
Cleveland Clinic uses AI to speed up clinical trials
Cleveland Clinic is using Dyania Health’s Synapsis AI platform to improve clinical trial recruitment. The AI platform uses medically trained large language models (LLMs) to quickly find patients for research studies. This helps patients get faster access to new treatments. A pilot program showed the AI could identify patients much faster and with high accuracy compared to traditional methods. The system analyzes medical records, imaging, and other data to match patients with the right trials.
Most companies don't track how workers use AI
Only 22% of U.S. workers say their employers monitor their AI use, according to a report from EisnerAmper. While 80% of employees have a positive experience with AI at work, only 36% said their company has an AI policy. Many workers find mistakes with AI, but most are confident in its accuracy. Companies may be missing an opportunity to guide employees in using AI effectively and responsibly.
Procore and Amazon team up on AI for construction
Procore is partnering with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to improve construction project delivery using AI. The partnership includes using Amazon Bedrock large language models (LLMs) in Procore's AI tools. These tools will help with document analysis, task automation, and project streamlining. Contractor Balfour Beatty is already using Procore and AWS to improve efficiency and reduce risk. Procore's platform is now available in the AWS marketplace.
BingX AI trading tool gains 2 million users quickly
BingX AI, a cryptocurrency exchange's AI-powered trading assistant, has reached 2 million users and processed 20 million queries in just 100 days.
