David Durman, a University of Kentucky administrator and non-theistic humanist, has obtained a workplace religious exemption through the American Humanist Association (AHA) allowing him not to use AI at work, becoming the first humanist to receive such an accommodation. He believes that over-reliance on AI weakens people's critical thinking, and cited reasons including AI's impact on livelihoods, environmental costs, and the erosion of human creativity. The University of Kentucky said it reviews

Using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway, MoEngage converted approximately 400 internal REST APIs distributed across private VPCs in 7 AWS Regions into permission-controlled agent tools, saving about 6 months of platform engineering effort and reducing new API onboarding from several days to a few hours. The solution requires no MCP server code from product teams, no per-integration network configuration, and involves no public endpoints anywhere in the path. MoEngage also established a principle:

AWS describes building a repeatable PHP-to-Java migration engine with Kiro: the migration methodology and discovery scanner are encapsulated as skill files, using an eight-phase process and a parity harness to verify that the Java port behaves consistently with the original PHP application. The same set of skill files can be used for interactive, application-by-application migration in Kiro, or handed to AWS Transform to run as parallel tasks at portfolio scale. Running requires PHP 8.0 or later

Epsilon's Agentic Platform team used Amazon Nova Act together with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser to turn intent-driven UI testing into a multi-tenant platform service layered on top of its existing Playwright regression suite. Test steps are written in natural language, executed by Nova Act over a CDP WebSocket, with per-step screenshots and pass-rate statistics, and results stored in Amazon S3. The solution provides managed temporary browser sessions, AWS IAM-based authentication, and cross-

AWS has released the Ray Train DLC image ray:train-ml-cuda-v1.1, which comes pre-integrated with Ray 2.58.0, PyTorch 2.13.0, CUDA 13.0.2, NCCL 2.29.7, and EFA along with the AWS OFI NCCL plugin, enabling distributed training on EKS without the need to build images yourself. The example uses PyTorch FSDP to fine-tune Qwen2.5-1.5B on 8 NVIDIA L4 GPUs across two g6.12xlarge instances, with cross-node communication going directly over EFA. The image is publicly hosted on Amazon ECR Public, so nodes

AWS has released an enterprise-grade Agentic AI platform blueprint based on Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore, adopting a federated operating model in which a central Platform team provides governed shared services while each Workstream team retains ownership of its own agents, tools, and data. The platform enforces model admission, regional restrictions, rate and token quotas, and budget controls through an independent inference gateway and an MCP tool gateway, and uses an evaluation pipeline to per

ElevenLabs has released its next-generation sound effects model SFX v3, now live on ElevenCreative and ElevenAPI. According to the company, in benchmark tests it handles prompts describing multiple sounds more reliably than SFX v2, generates music and voices more convincingly, and produces less noise in sound effects such as gongs, bells, and whistles. Users can generate sound effects via text prompts in Flows, the Sound Effects tab, Studio, and Music Editor, and developers can access it through

ElevenLabs has released a user guide explaining turn-taking in conversational AI: the model must switch among three actions—replying, holding the floor, and listening to silence—relying on adaptive timing, VAD, and semantic analysis to determine whether the user has finished speaking, rather than depending on a fixed silence timer. When Eleven v4 Turbo is paired with ElevenAgents, the median latency from request to audible speech is 142 ms. Engineering teams can measure conversational fluency us
