An event like this is important because Applied has a story to tell. It has a story to tell to us investors, but it's not just in important for investors. It's important for employees. It's important for customers for all our constituents to understand the opportunity, large opportunities in front of us. I do ask people Is this too big? Is this too bold? And the common response that I get is, well, so far you've done what you said you're gonna do. So I'd say no. If you guys were just talking and not building, I would say, yes. It's an awesome testament to people saying, it is really big. I do agree with you. It is really bold. You're fulfilling. This initiative in itself, I think it's nice for everyone to know, talk to us, also talk to, like, key personnel that are part of the journey, like, technology, finance, real estate development, because that's his NC OBR, like infrastructure, whether it be compute, real estate. I think that's what we're doing. We're writing infrastructure to just compute obligations in general. It comes down to people. I think anybody can have ideas. Anybody can raise capital and go build, but it comes out of the people that are running these operations and how they're running. People can feel energy in my voice when I talk about applied. I'm excited for what we're doing and what we're trying to do. Our past to use a phrase from West. Our past has been exciting, but our future is even brighter. This is a very, very large opportunity. We we will have contracted By the end of next year pretty close to five hundred megawatts of power, this opportunity is extremely large, and it's gonna work for a very long time. So I think this that what's important, why this event's important, it's for all our constituents, but mainly for investors, for employees, and for everybody to understand really what we're what we're doing.

75% of CISOs secure AI workflows with controls built for other risks

75% of CISOs secure AI workflows with controls built for other risks

Security Magazine's Michael Leland catalogs eight routes unsanctioned AI takes into enterprises, from browser extensions to AI coding tools. A 2026 Pentera survey he cites finds 75% of CISOs secure AI workflows with controls built for other risks. The visibility gap shows up first at the browser and the endpoint, where IT often cannot tell which account an employee is using.

  • 01The sharper question for an IT security lead is no longer which AI tools are approved but whether controls can tell a corporate login from a personal one at the moment a prompt is typed, according to Security Magazine.
  • 02A browser extension that clears risk review today can change behavior after an update, so static allow and deny lists are a weaker benchmark than risk scores that refresh as extension behavior changes.
  • 03Omdia's survey of 733 large-enterprise decision-makers found nearly 80% are active AI adopters, mostly through upgrades to software they already own, which means the entry points multiply without a procurement event to trigger review.

Survey: AI Boosts Productivity, but Few Firms See Profit Impact

Survey: AI Boosts Productivity, but Few Firms See Profit Impact

McKinsey's 2026 survey found 80% of respondents said AI improved their individual productivity, but only 37% reported AI contributing to their organization's EBIT, a share essentially unchanged from the prior year. Deloitte's parallel 2026 research found companies split between surface-level AI use (37%), redesigning key processes (30%), and deeper transformation of products or business models (34%).

  • 01Most respondents say AI has boosted their individual productivity, but only 37% say it has contributed to their organization's EBIT.
  • 02Enterprises report individual productivity gains from AI, but most have yet to see it contribute to earnings.
  • 03There is a disconnect between productivity gains from AI and actual profit impacts.
