I worked at an edtech company and was put on a performance improvement plan after making mistakes. I survived the PIP, and now I feel like I'm a better employee. I sat there on Google Meet as my supervisor explained the parameters of a performance improvement plan (PIP). Either way, the PIP said this: Improve by doing X, Y, and Z within the next 60 days, or you are gone. AdvertisementWhile nothing felt changed in my day-to-day beyond the release from all the extra tracking of my work, I had changed as an employee.

- German software giant SAP reported a bottom line undermined by heavy restructuring costs, but lifted forecasts for the year ahead. Europe should avoid regulating artificial intelligence and focus its attention on the results of the technology instead, the CEO of German enterprise tech giant SAP told CNBC Tuesday. Christian Klein, who has held the top job at SAP since April 2020, said Europe risks falling behind the U.S. and China if it overregulates the AI sector. While it's important to mitigate the risks associated with AI, Klein argued that regulating the tech while it's still in its infancy would be misguided. "Especially for the startup scene here in Europe, it's very important to think about the outcome of the technology but not to regulate the AI technology itself."

For the past three years, software stocks have suffered as revenue growth softened, and investors remain skeptical about when it will return. For Oracle, that's its cloud infrastructure — a service that has improved Oracle's fundamental growth story, Walravens argued. This strategic move positioned Oracle as a key player in AI, fueling growth in its infrastructure as a services (IaaS) business.

Kostial has discussed her situation with Vincent White, a New York city-based lawyer who specializes in workplace NDAs and advises signatories on the risks associated with breaking them.

"One in nearly every 5 dollars spent on Ramp cards is related to flights, hotels, entertainment related to travel," Glyman said. That ultimately led Ramp to the Priceline partnership and new platform feature. The new product, called Ramp Travel, utilizes AI and automation to help streamline and simplify the process of booking and doing expenses for business travel, with Priceline providing Ramp users access to airline, hotel, and other travel inventory. The companies see an opportunity to take share from corporate travel offerings that often rely on high fees that guarantee control over where employees stay, or the carriers which travelers fly with. While a majority of Ramp customers have never raised venture capital, the average size of companies using the platform has more than doubled in the past three years, he said.

The Moon's surface seen from the Orion spacecraft on flight day 20 of the Artemis I mission. CNBC's Investing in Space newsletter offers a view into the business of space exploration and privatization, delivered straight to your inbox. NASA's Artemis moon mission program regularly faces a wide swath of questions – from legislators, auditors, companies and even just the American public – about goals, timeline, cost and more. Call it an Artemis mission! If Orion flying uncrewed around the moon is an Artemis mission, then the first uncrewed HLS landing should be too, because it's arguably just as important to the goal of landing humans back on the moon.

Read previewWhen I first spoke to Juergen Mueller, SAP's chief technology officer, earlier this year, generative AI was the hot new thing. One issue with language models and generative AI is that it often has a cutoff point and lacks up-to-date knowledge. SAP has trained more than 50,000 of the company's 105,000 workers on what it sees as the opportunities that Gen AI brings. The worst thing is if only a few would know how and what to do with it and the majority wouldn't. This strong foundation of AI expertise has been enabling us to infuse generative AI capabilities across our solutions and deliver immediate value to customers.

SAP Labs India Managing Director Sindhu Gangadharan hopes the Indian unit will scale up its share of global SAP patents to 50% from 25% currently, she said in an interview on the sidelines of an event in Bengaluru. SAP Labs India, which employs over 15,000 people, aims to embed generative AI across its products to cater better to the changing needs of its clients ranging from Thermax (THMX.NS) to Dabur India (DABU.NS). "Through AI, India can solidify its IT supremacy," Gangadharan had said in the event, earlier in the day. The comments come as SAP looks to "double down" on investments in India, its fastest growing region and home to 40% of its global Research and Development (R&D) activity. Gangadharan, while referring to the regulation of AI, said there should be a "great amount of responsibility barriers with flexibility to the end-user".

She predicts generative AI will be a permanent part of her marketing strategy in four to six months. The art was created by generative AI and touched up by a human artist. SAP's marketing team also used generative AI for tasks that are less splashy, more internally-oriented, but just as important. In one exercise, SAP employees used generative AI to create a script for product demos, but the scripts occasionally referenced products that didn't actually exist. Part of this consideration includes figuring out whether to continue partnering with generative AI solution providers or build the tools internally.
