Hello and welcome to Eye on AI. In this edition: OpenAI claims it made a mathematical breakthrough. But some mathematicians raise questions about cheating—and intimidation.

After a 20-year career at design software company Autodesk, Prakash “PK” Kota felt an urge for a career change, in part because he didn’t want to end his career having worked for only one employer.  Upon ending his time at Autodesk with a seven-year stint as chief information officer, Kota made the leap to human resources software company UKG, where he has held the same role since April 2025. He quickly consolidated software vendors, oversaw the launch of 387 internal AI applications from more than 1,400 employee-submitted ideas, and spearheaded the internal creation of more than 12,000 AI agents across…

The apocryphal quip attributed to Mark Twain, “the rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated,” rings true for certain companies in the software space amidst widespread but premature fears of AI-driven obsolescence.  Over the last year, approximately $2 trillion in software value has been torched on fears that AI will render many software businesses obsolete in the years ahead, in what has become known as the “SaaSpocalpyse,” prematurely announcing the death of the software as a service (SaaS) sector. The original SaaSpocalpyse thesis of “death,” or at least massive disruption, was how bears were thinking in the early part of the…

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei imagines a world with “a country of geniuses in a data center.” Elon Musk posited this summer that “AI may exceed…

The news traveled quickly across Nike’s sprawling headquarters in Beaverton, Ore. Elliott Hill was coming back. Employees high-fived. An audible cheer could be heard in parts of Nike’s 400-acre campus. Current and former employees lit up group chats and social media. On Wall Street, investors joined the celebration, sending Nike shares up roughly 8% in after-hours trading following the company’s September 2024 announcement that Hill would come out of retirement to replace John Donahoe as chief executive. The exuberance reflected more than relief that Donahoe was leaving. Hill’s return carried an almost messianic quality inside a company that had spent…
