Part of the shift to AI comes internally by building, some come via acquisitions and some come from partnering widely, says VP of corporate business development Philip Kirk. Lara Greden, an analyst at IDC who covers ServiceNow, says going beyond building is a big part of every company’s strategy when it comes to AI. “Like other major waves of technology innovation, breakthrough capabilities in generative AI are coming through entities that have laser focused on the tech itself, in other words: startups. “ServiceNow’s focus has been on integrating generative AI to improve entire workflows, not just single processes or tasks. They also play an important role in guiding customers with best practices around data governance and control.”The Washington release is available starting on Wednesday for all ServiceNow customers.

Global Expansion: Ai Pin Enters the International Market Through Partnership with SK Telecom in South Korea

Hyped AI startup Humane has announced plans for its first international market, inking a deal with South Korean carrier SK Telecom. The announcement comes shortly after the San Francisco-based company revealed it was pushing back the shipping date of its Ai Pin device from March to mid-April in its domestic U.S. market. The Ai Pin costs $699 up front, with a recurring $24 monthly subscription that gives the user a phone number and unlimited data to power as many AI-powered queries they like. And just yesterday, SK Telecom announced a partnership with AI search engine Perplexity to bring its premium “Pro” plan to SK Telecom’s 32 million subscribers. It’s also not yet clear when the Ai Pin might make it to market in South Korea, but given the delays currently surrounding its U.S. launch we maybe shouldn’t expect it too soon.
