Agentic AI Is Coming For CIOs
Agentic AI is the next iteration of AI at work, and CIOs need to know how to incorporate it into strategies and workflow. The next SAP Insights newsletter explains how to get started.
Agents for AI. Agentic AI is the AI that's able to trigger commands that automatically complete tasks, and that means work gets done sort of in the background. Software companies are starting to add it to their existing AI tools, which is to say: Agentic AI—coming soon to your workplace. If it's not there already. However, it creates some additional considerations that CIOs need to be aware of. We discuss.
Also in this issue:
Supply chains. There's a supply chain change happening at the moment that's steering focus away from resiliency and toward cost. Concerns about stability and the global economy have prompted this refocus. But the question is: Can you have both? We say yes.
Celebrating (?) the birth of remote working. Here's who to blame for our ability to work anywhere. Apple's iBook laptop with built-in Wi-Fi was a game changer. Although Apple discontinued the colorful clamshell design after just two years, the Wi-Fi technology remains.
This is the history of what we now take for granted.
Research That Hasn't Reached Your Inbox. AI and employee well-being; AI and employee stress (hint: it's about control); and why using LLMs to write is kinda problematic.

Apple beats US appeal claiming it shortchanged customers on iCloud storage
By Jonathan Stempel (Reuters) -A U.S. federal appeals court on Wednesday rejected claims by Apple customers that the iPhone maker gave them less iCloud data storage than they paid for when upgrading. In a 3-0 decision, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said reasonable consumers in the proposed class action would not have been misled by Apple's promises about storage capacity in its iCloud+ plans. The plaintiff Lisa Bodenburg said she paid $2.99 a month for 200 GB of storage, believing Apple would add it to the 5 GB that all iCloud customers receive, and was shortchanged because Apple gave her only 200 GB of total storage, not 205 GB. Circuit Judge Milan Smith, however said Bodenburg "received exactly what Apple promised her" when the Cupertino, California-based company offered "incremental" or "supplemental" storage, on top of the 5 GB she got for free. He cited dismissals of other cases based on "unreasonable assumptions," including that Diet Dr. Pepper would aid in weight loss, and the net weight on a lip balm label failed to reveal that the dispenser's design left some balm inaccessible. "Apple's statements are not false and deceptive merely because [they] may be unreasonably misunderstood by an insignificant and unrepresentative segment of consumers," Smith wrote. Lawyers for Bodenburg did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The decision upheld a May 2024 dismissal by U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson in San Francisco. The case is Bodenburg v Apple Inc, 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 24-3335.
