Today's AI news is dominated by the agent race and enterprise deployment: OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work alongside GPT-5.6, while Accenture, Google Cloud, and Deutsche Telekom pushed agentic and AI-native operations further into the enterprise. On the research side, Google Research unveiled a wearable-health foundation model and Ant Group released an open causal world model. Governance also advanced, with new AI-safety cooperation between Canada and South Korea and a fresh ITU focus group on trust and agentic-AI behaviour.
