Enterprises eye AI assistants to modernize systems
This story was originally published on CIO Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CIO Dive newsletter. Enterprises are turning to generative AI tools to drive modernization and cut through technical debt, according to Publicis Sapient. The digital consulting firm commissioned HFS Research to survey more than 600 IT and business leaders for a report published Thursday. Four in 5 respondents expect generative AI coding assistants to help them break free from managing outdated systems by documenting legacy applications, rewriting old code and automating software testing, the report found. Technical debt is an expensive headache, accounting for $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion in spending among Global 2000 companies, according to HFS Research. 'Tech debt isn't just a weight — it's a ticking time bomb that's threatening the future of global enterprises,' the firm's Chief Analyst and CEO Phil Fersht said in the report. As coding assistants rose to the top of a heap of generative AI use cases with ROI potential, vendors mobilized to deploy tools trained to decipher and refactor decades-old applications. IBM taught watsonx more than 100 programming languages and trained its open model to translate COBOL applications into Java. AWS trained its AI assistant, Amazon Q Developer, to build applications and set the tool loose on mainframe modernization last year. As cloud and enterprise software vendors rolled out similar capabilities, banking became a proving ground for the technology, according to Accenture. Goldman Sachs saw its army of 12,000 developers achieve efficiency gains of roughly 20% with GitHub Copilot, the company's CIO Marco Argenti told CIO Dive last month. Bank of America and Citigroup saw similar returns on AI investments. Enterprises across industries can cut years off of modernization initiatives by harnessing the technology, according to Sheldon Monteiro, Publicis Sapient EVP and chief product officer. 'AI really is a jackhammer,' Monteiro said in an interview. 'CIOs need to be thinking about this in terms of some pretty major concrete breaking.' Publicis Sapient inked a five-year partnership with AWS to build AI-powered modernization tools in March. In addition to leveraging the hyperscaler's cloud-based services, the alliance aims to expand the reach of the Sapient Slingshot software development platform. The modernization opportunities are vast, according to HFS Research. A $1.5 trillion IT industry has grown up around servicing rather than eliminating technical debt, the firm estimates. Enterprises spend an average of nearly 30% of IT budgets maintaining legacy technologies, the report found. Yet, fewer than one-third of respondents said their organization has modernized core applications. 'Something's broken in the way clients are buying IT services and the way the service industry has been incentivized,' Monteiro said, pointing to a tendency to see staff augmentation as a means of containing technical debt. Monteiro added, 'If modernization is going to take 10 years to complete, what CIO is going to look at that with any sense that it can get done within their tenure?'

Sabah youths to perform with jazz legend Ernie Watts at Sepilok Festival
KOTA KINABALU: A new music-eco collaboration will see Sabah youths take the stage with Grammy-winning jazz legend Ernie Watts at the upcoming Sepilok Jazz Festival. The opportunity arises from a partnership between Asian jazz icon Jeremy Monteiro and turtle conservation NGO Friends of Sea Turtles Education and Research, under a three-year Memorandum of Understanding. Monteiro will serve as artistic adviser and mentor, helping to design the competition format, refine its curriculum, and create pathways for Sabah's young talents to gain exposure at international jazz festivals. Bakat Sepilok Jazz music director Cheong Kok Ann said Monteiro's involvement marked a pivotal moment for the programme. "His presence opens the door to global jazz conversations and helps Sabah youths see music in a broader context," said Cheong in a statement. The 2025 edition recorded its highest participation yet, with over 105 participants across the open and school categories. Preliminary rounds are being held in Kota Kinabalu (May 2) and Sandakan (May 5), with the finals scheduled for Aug 2 at the Trinity Arts and Music Academy in Sandakan. Winners will get the chance to perform at the fourth edition of the Sepilok Jazz Festival, taking place on Sept 5 and 6 at the Rainforest Discovery Centre in Sepilok — alongside Watts, who has performed with Frank Zappa and The Rolling Stones. As part of the collaboration, Monteiro and FOSTER are also planning to establish a Sabah Jazz Digital Archive to preserve original compositions and creative journeys from the local music community as a long-term educational resource. The programme is designed to be inclusive and sustainable, ensuring equal opportunities for youths from diverse backgrounds, including those from rural and interior areas.

Hundreds of Maryland AmeriCorps workers displaced amid federal cuts

(Photo by Joe Zimmermann/ Maryland Department of Natural Resources) The Trump administration's dismantling of the federal AmeriCorps program will be felt in Maryland state parks, classrooms, nonprofits and food pantries, state officials said during a Wednesday news conference. About 250 Maryland AmeriCorps workers were dismissed over the weekend, said Paul Monteiro, Maryland Secretary of Service and Civic Innovation. 'We had to start making calls Friday evening into Saturday morning to inform them of the immediate termination of their grants,' Monteiro said. 'Many of our members will likely face subsistence-level challenges, given that they're ineligible for unemployment insurance and were already living on very modest stipends.' The list includes 41 members of the Maryland Conservation Corps, who were expecting to continue working through the popular summer season at state parks, maintaining hiking trails, clearing invasive species and educating visitors, said Rachel Temby, deputy director of the Maryland Park Service. 'The impacts of this hasty decision have been felt from the mountains of Western Maryland to the shores of the Atlantic,' Temby said. After a stop-work order was issued Saturday, state officials rushed to call all of the workers, some of whom were helping with weekend events such as the Pollinator Festival at Assateague State Park and the Market Fair at Fort Frederick, Temby said. 'They were pulled from service, and then many of them made the independent — and very considerate — decision to return as park volunteers to those activities that weekend, wishing to continue with their commitment to serve in any capacity they could,' Temby said. A primary concern is that the AmeriCorps members will suddenly lose their 'very modest' cost-of-living stipends, Monteiro said, forcing them to reconsider things like housing and health insurance. 'Our department is doing our level best to support demobilized members,' Monteiro said. 'The first of the month is here in short order, and [members will be] accessing housing, accessing food, on top of being separated from organizations and networks they've been invested in over the course of the year.' The members, between 17 and 25 years old, also expected to receive an educational stipend of about $7,000 at the end of their service terms, which they could use to pay student loans, Now, they are likely to receive a pro-rated portion of the stipend — not the whole thing. A Moore administration official said Wednesday that the 'bare bones' administrative staff at AmeriCorps, 'gives me a lot of heartburn' about workers' benefits. Maryland is one of 24 states and the District of Columbia that are suing the Trump administration over its steep and sudden cuts to AmeriCorps. The lawsuit says that on April 15 AmeriCorps officials, at the behest of the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), put all members of the National Civilian Community Corps on leave, and told them their service would be terminated on April 30. A day later, the suit says, AmeriCorps put about 85% of its paid staff of about 700 workers on administrative leave. Last week, AmeriCorps began sending reduction-in-force notices to the paid staff and on Friday, after regular business hours, it began notifying states that about $400 million of AmeriCorps programs were immediately terminated. The lawsuit argues that only Congress, not the administration, has the power to slash the agency. 'The Administration's abrupt decision to dismantle AmeriCorps flouts Congress's creation of AmeriCorps and assignment of agency duties; usurps Congress's power of the purse and thereby violates the Constitution's separation of powers,' the suit says. Maryland Natural Resources Secretary Josh Kurtz said Wednesday that the Conservation Corps program, which began in 1984, has had an immense impact on state parks. 'If you've hiked on a trail, if you've gone to a bathroom in a state park, you most likely are touching a project that the Maryland Conservation Corps has done over the years,' Kurtz said. Maryland leads 25 states in suit to block Trump administration efforts 'gutting' AmeriCorps DNR was projected to contribute about $1.6 million to the Conservation Corps program this year, the agency said, with AmeriCorps contributing about $922,000. According to a DNR news release from last August, that year's graduating class improved more than 2,400 acres of parks and public lands; planted more than 9,963 native trees, bay grasses and plants; treated more than 7,902 trees against harmful insects and diseases; and taught environmental education programs to more than 23,750 visitors. Conservation Corps members have been instrumental in protecting one of the state's older forest ecosystems, located in Swallow Falls State Park, said DNR spokesman AJ Metcalf. The area includes thousands of eastern hemlock trees, which have been victimized by invasive hemlock wooly adelgids. In 2024, Conservation Corps members treated more than 7,000 of the trees, saving them from early deaths. The pesticide application took six days, but will last seven years, Metcalf said. 'Hemlock treatment is a simple process but requires significant human energy,' Metcalf wrote. 'Many MCC members report that hemlock restoration work was one of the most rewarding projects of their term.' For the individuals who spend a year in the corps, the program is a 'career ladder,' Kurtz said, allowing them to gain skills that fuel careers in conservation fields. More than 50 current staff members at the Maryland Department of Natural Resources are Conservation Corps alumni, Temby said. Temby said she supervised teams of Conservation Corps members for about six years, in her role as a Maryland Park Service ranger, and watched the program evolve, propelled by energetic workers. 'The sudden decision to terminate AmeriCorps funding for this program has dire impacts on the hopes and dreams of our corps members, but also the operations of the Maryland Park Service,' Temby said.
