Nextech3D.ai hires sales leader Chad Prezlomski to grow AI and event tech

Nextech3D.ai named Chad Prezlomski as SVP of Sales starting September 30. He brings 15 years of B2B software sales experience and previously worked at TextUs and Splash. He will lead enterprise sales for platforms like Eventdex, Map D, KraftyLab and KATE. He will receive stock options for 1,500,000 shares.

SalesCloser launches Sky to build AI sales agents by talking

SalesCloser launched Sky, a tool that lets businesses create AI sales agents by simply describing their business. Since its September 18 launch, Sky cut setup time from about five hours to roughly four minutes. Sky also acts as a copilot for making changes. The company also hired SmallCapVoice for an investor awareness campaign.

Study examines verifying AI-generated knowledge with limited evidence

A new paper studies how partial verification affects trust in AI-generated knowledge objects. It introduces a Bayesian model called Predictive Value of Pass (PVP). Experiments on FEVEROUS and FEVER datasets show that adding supported claims can make passing checks less informative. The model helps determine the minimum verification budget needed for reliable quality assurance.

Real estate AI needs strong infrastructure beyond models

A Deloitte report notes 92% of real estate executives are still piloting AI while only 8% have integrated solutions. The article argues that an AI model alone is not enough to be a real product. Systems like property management, CRM and MLS must connect reliably. A 2025 Dealpath survey found 36% of investors cite decentralized data as a barrier to AI adoption.

Greg Hinz asks if AI can be tamed in Illinois

Greg Hinz writes about efforts to regulate and manage the growing influence of artificial intelligence. The article references a Bloomberg report and notes that 14 families hold significant influence across Chicago and Illinois in business, politics, philanthropy, sports and civic institutions.

Scale AI Explores AI Orchestration for National Defense

Zane Teeters from Scale AI discussed how AI orchestration can improve national security by helping decision makers access data across separate systems and networks. He identified trust as a bigger challenge than access, since commanders need to fully understand and question AI recommendations. Systems must provide traceable reasoning and undergo rigorous testing against real mission conditions. An AI orchestration layer could solve data access problems without requiring new infrastructure.

CMU Hosts Summit on AI Infrastructure and Community Impact

Carnegie Mellon University hosted the Community-Centered AI Infrastructure Summit to discuss the growing number of data center developments in Pennsylvania. Academic experts, activists, state lawmakers and community members gathered to debate how AI infrastructure growth affects local energy use, public health and the environment. Panels also explored economic benefits, government oversight and how communities can participate in development decisions. The event aimed to balance Pennsylvania's push to attract AI infrastructure with local concerns.

Coreforce and Scylla Expand AI Security Partnership for Public Safety

Coreforce and Scylla expanded their collaboration to bring AI-powered threat detection to public safety agencies through existing camera systems. Scylla's video analytics can detect weapons, fights, slips, falls and perimeter intrusions in real time. The partnership was first tested in a large U.S. statewide correctional system before being formalized for broader use. The integration gives command centers a unified view of incidents and reduces the need to manage multiple systems and video feeds.

New Film Artificial Examines Sam Altman and OpenAI's Rise

The movie Artificial, directed by Luca Guadagnino, dramatizes the rise of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and the company's risky path. Andrew Garfield plays Altman while Yura Borisov portrays co-founder Ilya Sutskever, who sees AI's potential but realizes too late that idealism conflicts with the market. The film uses real reporting on OpenAI but critics say it treats tech leaders more as caricatures than complex figures. It addresses existential risks of generative AI but only briefly touches on specific real-world harms.

Spokesman-Review Bans AI in Guest Columns After Investigation

The Spokesman-Review officially banned AI-written guest opinions and letters to the editor after a RANGE exposé revealed heavy AI use in op-eds. The paper now requires writers to check a box confirming their work is human-written and will run suspected columns through AI detector tools. If AI use is confirmed, authors must rewrite or face rejection. The paper also limited its opinion page to three days a week and stressed that all news articles are still written by human journalists.
