June 15, 2026LeeUncategorizedComments Off on 85% of IT teams claim every AI agent is under control. Only 42% actually know who owns them.
Organizational leaders are nearly twice as likely to hide their AI use compared to all other employees, at 42% versus 23%, according to new Ivanti research surveying 3,900 employees across six countries. Among leaders who conceal that usage, 52% say they do it for a “secret advantage.” The same research found 85% of IT professionals…
Host Jason Nyhus sat down with Torben Höhn and Jonas Dambacher from Basecom at Shopware Community Day to unpack their take on Sebastian Hamann’s keynote on Shopware’s vision, product strategy, and AI-powered future.
They discuss Shopware’s vision of commerce managed through AI – enabling merchants to manage their entire commerce operation with AI, including powerful demonstrations of Experience Studio where product pages can be created, updated, and personalized at scale in minutes. Relevant experiences for every shopper with mass dynamic personalization is becoming a reality, helping merchants deliver tailored experiences faster than ever while reducing manual effort. Ownership and control of data – as AI agents become more prevalent, merchants face important questions about where their customer data and proprietary business processes reside. The discussion explores why businesses increasingly want the freedom to integrate with the systems they choose while maintaining visibility and control over their data flows.
They discuss what makes Shopware different and continues to stand apart through open-source flexibility that empowers developers to extend and innovate; Shopware Payments with no penalties or fees for choosing third-party payment providers; and a commitment to merchant freedom and choice over platform lock-in. The episode also explores Shopware Nexus, the new middleware layer that simplifies integrations between Shopware and critical business systems like ERPs, shipping providers, and other APIs. The result? Faster implementations, lower costs, and more time for developers to focus on innovation instead of complex integrations.
From powering Fleurop/FTD’s global floral marketplace with real-time inventory visibility to supporting a B2B organization managing over 2 million products and highly complex sales processes, the conversation showcases how Shopware is designed to solve unique business challenges that many platforms struggle to address.
If you’re interested in the future of AI-powered commerce, merchant ownership, developer freedom, and composable commerce architecture, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

June 15, 2026LeeUncategorizedComments Off on Vibe coding can build your pipeline. It can’t explain it six months later
AI coding agents are rapidly accelerating data engineering by generating transformations, pipelines, orchestration workflows, validation tests, and infrastructure configurations from prompts. However, enterprise data platforms have long operated across fragmented systems owned by different teams and built on different technologies. As these systems evolve independently, organizations increasingly struggle with inconsistent business logic, duplicated implementations, difficult…

June 15, 2026LeeUncategorizedComments Off on Attackers scale deception with AI. Defenders need truth at machine speed.
Presented by Splunk AI has changed the economics of cyber deception. An attacker can now generate thousands of convincing phishing lures, fake identities, and tailored pretexts before a defender finishes a single change-control cycle. That is the new security challenge: deception got faster and cheaper, while verification did not. Much of the discussion around AI…
