Modernizar el IT heredado con IA sin disparar el riesgo regulatorio
La IA está acelerando proyectos de modernización que antes exigían meses de análisis. Pero en las organizaciones más reguladas aparece enseguida una realidad incómoda: el riesgo ya no está en convertir el código, sino en demostrar que la versión nueva sigue haciendo exactamente lo que hacía la anterior. Casi todos los comités de dirección han tomado la misma decisión este año: aplicar inteligencia artificial a sus sistemas. Y casi todos descubren lo mismo cuando bajan al detalle. La IA es fácil de añadir en la periferia —un chatbot , un copiloto, un cuadro de mando— y muy difícil de meter donde de verdad importa, que es el núcleo heredado. En banca, en seguros, en buena parte de la Administración, ese núcleo sigue siendo COBOL sobre mainframe, con décadas de parches encima y una documentación que, siendo generosos, es incompleta. Ahí es exactamente donde se concentra el riesgo regulatorio. Y ahí es donde más proyectos descarrilan. Llevo tres décadas en sectores regulados y el patrón se repite. El equipo de IT aborda la modernización como un problema de delivery —entregar rápido, cerrar tickets, pasar a producción— cuando en un sector supervisado el problema es de compliance . No se mide por lo que entregas, sino por lo que puedes defender. Cambiar ese chip es la mitad del trabajo. El espejismo del COBOL traducido La promesa es seductora. Hoy un modelo de lenguaje lee miles de líneas de COBOL, las documenta, las explica y propone una equivalencia en Java o en Python en una fr…

From Nykaa to Zepto: How startups are cashing in on India's Korean wave
The Korean wave is no longer confined to binge-worthy dramas or K-pop concerts. It has quietly become one of India's fastest-growing consumer trends, prompting startups and large consumer brands to reshape their offerings around Korean beauty, food and fashion. Led by Gen Z and Gen Alpha consumers, startups such as Nykaa-backed Maccaron, Pilgrim and Quench Botanics are expanding their Korean product portfolios, while quick commerce platforms are dedicating shelf space to Korean food. Legacy companies including Reliance Retail, Nestlé, ITC, Hindustan Unilever and McDonald's are also rolling out Korean-inspired products to tap into the growing demand. According to a recent Jefferies report, what started as an entertainment trend has evolved into a commercial opportunity spanning multiple consumer categories. Beauty leads the Korean boom Beauty has emerged as the biggest beneficiary of the Korean wave. India's beauty and personal care market, estimated at around $24 billion in 2024, is expected to grow to approximately $45 billion by 2030. Within this, K Beauty, currently a $400 million segment accounting for about 2% of the overall market, is projected to be the fastest-growing category, expanding at a 26% CAGR to nearly $1.5 billion by 2030, according to Jefferies. Nykaa was among the first platforms to aggressively build the category in India. Besides expanding its portfolio of Korean brands, the company has organised dedicated events including K-Beauty Festival, Nykaaland 3…
La apuesta francesa por la soberanía digital: una plataforma de código abierto para 400.000 usuarios en el Ministerio de Educación
Francia está trabajando en reducir su dependencia de proveedores tecnológicos no europeos en el sector público, y para ello ha apostado por el software de código abierto, que está adquiriendo un papel cada vez más destacado en la región. Uno de los proyectos que está desplegando es Nuage, una plataforma de almacenamiento e intercambio de archivos desarrollada por el Ministerio de Educación Nacional para docentes, personal administrativo y otros empleados. Aunque está dirigida a los 1,2 millones de trabajadores del Ministerio, actualmente cuenta con 400.000 cuentas activas, y alrededor de dos tercios de los usuarios acceden al servicio cada semana. Cada usuario dispone de 100 GB de almacenamiento para documentos, PDF, vídeos e imágenes, aunque el uso medio se sitúa en torno a los 3 GB. Además, la plataforma permite compartir y editar documentos de forma colaborativa. El código abierto como modelo para otros El proyecto del Ministerio es un ejemplo de cómo el software de código abierto puede utilizarse a gran escala y servir de modelo para otras organizaciones que buscan reforzar su soberanía digital. El interés por este enfoque ha aumentado en los últimos meses debido a las tensiones geopolíticas y comerciales, así como al creciente temor en Europa de que la Administración Trump pueda restringir de forma repentina el acceso a determinadas tecnologías. Para la administración francesa, Nuage permite al Ministerio mantener el control sobre los datos sensibles relacionados con lo…

Why Shadowfax’s stock nearly doubles since listing despite weak debut
Logistics unicorn Shadowfax has emerged as one of the strongest post-listing performers among new-age tech companies in recent months, with its share price nearly doubling from its listing levels despite a lacklustre market debut. The Bengaluru-based logistics firm, which got listed earlier this year, debuted at a discount of around 9% to its IPO issue price. However, investor sentiment has turned sharply positive over the last two months, pushing the stock to around Rs 223 and taking its market capitalization to approximately Rs 13,037 crore. The rally appears to be steered by a combination of factors: strong financial performance, rapid market share gains, expansion into new growth segments, and growing investor belief that the company may have been conservatively valued during its IPO. Strongest quarter since listing Shadowfax delivered a record performance in the March quarter, reporting a 74% year-on-year increase in operating revenue to Rs 1,237 crore in Q4 FY26. Profitability also improved sharply, with profit after tax reaching Rs 56 crore compared to a loss of Rs 10 crore in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA surged to Rs 58 crore with margins expanding to 4.7%. For the full fiscal year, revenue grew 69% to Rs 4,202 crore while net profit jumped to Rs 112 crore from Rs 6 crore in FY25, reinforcing investor confidence in the company's ability to scale profitably. The company also delivered 22.6 crore orders during the quarter, up 101% year-on-year, while express s…

Go back to the main page . By Aurelio Insisa , MERICS (formerly Istituto Affari Internazionali), and Francesca Maremonti Research Fellow, IAI China’s capacity to innovate and lead in high-added-value industrial sectors is a critical element of its technological power, alongside its unparalleled strength in ensuring high-volume and cost-competitive manufacturing in traditional industrial sectors. 1 According to Goldman Sachs forecasts, Italy is one of the countries that will suffer most from the impact of Chinese industrial plans for the 2026-30 period, together with Mexico, the CEE-4 group, and Germany. 2 Recent trends: China’s tech power shapes Italy’s industrial future China’s rise as a tech power poses two fundamental questions to Italian institutions and private actors. First, should Italy continue cooperating with Chinese players in sectors where China’s innovation capabilities could further diminish Italy’s already declining global share in high-tech manufacturing? Second, should Rome grant…

AI vendors fund non-profit to help workers adapt to AI era
AI is here, and we must help workers adapt: That’s the response of a new non-profit organization to the ongoing debate about whether AI will destroy jobs and cause catastrophe or take the economy to new heights. Launched Thursday, Raise Us is a nonpartisan national organization that says it will partner with state governors, employers, workers, and training organizations to help the US workforce make a successful transition to an AI economy. It says it will design and pilot new corporate incentives to retrain and redeploy workers, develop new approaches to support people through job transitions, and create new training models tied to changing employer demand. It has already raised more than $500 million and hopes to bring that up to $1 billion in multi-year commitments from philanthropists and industry sources. Anchor partners include Amazon, Microsoft, Anthropic, and the OpenAI Foundation, and more than two dozen other organizations including Cisco, IBM, ADP, AMD, and Deloitte have also signed on. The organization is led by two former US state governors, Gina Raimondo, who will serve as CEO and co-chair, and Eric Holcomb, co-chair, and its initial government partnerships are with the states of Arkansas, Connecticut, Maryland, and Utah, which, it said, “will serve as the first proving grounds for outcome-driven pilots.” However, analysts are skeptical that the initiative is anything other than a public-relations effort for the AI industry. Jason Andersen , VP and principal a…

Shaping a lasting AI strategy in a fast-changing world
AI is entering a phase of sustained enterprise adoption. As the technology rapidly advances, organizations are moving beyond isolated use cases and short-term efficiency gains and rethinking how they use AI to create value, meet changing customer expectations and evolve their operating models over the next several years. That requires a clear end goal, an honest assessment of current capabilities and a practical roadmap for moving from today’s reality to that end goal. Today, we are seeing five accelerating trends shaping how that transition is unfolding. LLMs are evolving into AgenticOS platforms Horizontal LLM providers like Anthropic and vertical AI companies like Harvey are moving beyond standalone AI models and building broader enterprise platforms. These platforms combine AI models with workflows, playbooks, integrations and governance tools inside a single environment, which are beginning to be described as an “AgenticOS.” As a result, the market is beginning to consolidate around a smaller number of platform providers that can simplify procurement, integration, spend management and data privacy compliance. Context windows have expanded by orders of magnitude Leading AI models can now process dramatically more information at once than they could just a few years ago, with the amount of information they can analyze in a single interaction expanding roughly 125× since 2023. That shift is making more complex, enterprise-scale work, like large-scale contract review, codeb…
How AI is used as a key ingredient at Cosentino
The humble story of Cosentino starts in marble in southeastern Spain in 1945, and subsequent generations have gradually expanded into more diverse materials and color palettes, so now the company operates in more than 120 countries. And what also began in a small factory is now a vast complex exceeding 27 million square feet where machines, cranes, and robots move freely, loading pallets full of product destined for every corner of the globe. Together with partner Microsoft, Cosentino is tackling, like many others, how to most effectively adopt and maximize the potential of AI , and it will be the first industrial company in Spain to adopt the Microsoft Discovery platform. This technology, designed to accelerate scientific research, is particularly interesting to a company whose success is based on the discovery and validation of new materials for kitchens, facades, and interiors. width="1240" height="704" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1240px) 100vw, 1240px"> The Cosentino complex in Almería, Spain.

Proposed US law would make AI risk reporting a legal obligation
US lawmakers on Thursday introduced a bill that would require developers of advanced AI models to report major safety and security incidents to the Commerce Department, establishing a federal oversight framework for high-risk AI systems. The proposed AI Incident Reporting Act would mandate that developers of designated “covered models” disclose incidents within seven days of knowing, or reasonably believing, that one has occurred. For incidents posing an imminent or ongoing risk of serious harm, the Commerce Department would have to notify congressional leadership and the chairs of relevant House and Senate committees within 48 hours after receiving the report. The bill directs the Secretary of Commerce to establish capability thresholds to determine which AI models and developers are subject to the reporting requirements. “AI is a powerful engine of innovation, and I want to see it flourish, but not without accountability and not without human oversight,” Moran said in a statement announcing the legislation. “The rule of law should apply to this new frontier. This legislation ensures that when something goes wrong with a high-capability AI system, the US Government has the information needed to act quickly.” Broad range of reportable incidents The proposal identifies a broad set of incidents that would require disclosure to the Commerce Department. According to the bill , developers would have to report attempts by covered AI models to evade human oversight, deceive operato…

Why private AI is the smarter bet
For the past several years, the default assumption in enterprise IT was that AI would follow the same path as many other workloads and settle into the public cloud. That assumption seemed reasonable on the surface. The hyperscalers had the infrastructure, GPU capacity , managed services, and developer ecosystems. If you wanted to move fast, public cloud AI looked like the obvious answer. That logic is now being challenged by reality. As enterprises move from AI experiments to AI in production , they increasingly find that the public cloud is a convenient place to start but not the most practical place to stay. Enterprises are wondering if they can afford to base their long-term AI strategies on cost models they do not control, risks they cannot fully contain, and architectures that are optimized for provider scale rather than enterprise economics. This is why private cloud AI is becoming more popular. Enterprises are not moving on-premises because it’s a fashionable choice. They are moving because, in many cases, it is the financially rational choice. The expense of token-based AI The market still treats token-based AI pricing as a stable, mature economic model. It is not. Much of what enterprises pay today reflects a highly competitive environment in which providers are still subsidizing adoption, offering aggressive discounts, and prioritizing market share over normalized margins. That may be good news in the short term, but it is dangerous to assume those conditions will…
