In the rapidly evolving landscape of sustainable technology, the debate between battery recycling and repurposing is becoming increasingly significant. As we strive for a greener future, how can we best extend the battery life and utility of the batteries powering our electric vehicles (EVs) and other devices?

Dr. Veronika Wright, also known as Electrified Veronika™ sheds light on this critical issue. She emphasizes the importance of not just recycling to reclaim raw materials but also considering the potential for repurposing batteries to maximize their lifecycle.

“I think it’s extremely important to look at both those paths and actually really create the loop because a battery that isn’t used is kind of a wasted battery.” Dr. Wright said.

Only 6% of companies get value from AI, Forbes reports

Only 6% of companies get value from AI, Forbes reports

Forbes' enterprise AI coverage as of Sept. 16 includes a John Koetsier piece reporting only 6% of companies get value from AI. Its curated highlights say enterprises are moving to a mix of frontier, open and specialized models, with attention shifting to governance and security. Gartner's 2028 forecasts point the same way.

  • 01A 6% value rate, as reported by Forbes, is a usable benchmark: any enterprise that can show a measured return on an AI deployment is already in a small minority.
  • 02Gartner's 2025 baseline has specialized generative AI models at $1.1 billion of $14.2 billion in model spending, yet it forecasts they will be more than half of what enterprises use by 2028; architectures that cannot route work across several models will fight that shift.
  • 03The sharper question for a platform contract now is who owns AI governance and security, since Gartner's keynote called for a dedicated AI leader and MIT Sloan Management Review lists ownership of data and AI as an unresolved 2026 issue.

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.
