ServiceNow resolves 90% of its own IT requests autonomously. Now it wants to do the same for any enterprise ServiceNow's new Autonomous Workforce framework inherits enterprise permissions from deployment — so AI specialists can't exceed scope or self-escalate.

IBM's $40B stock wipeout is built on a misconception: Translating COBOL isn't the same as modernizing it Investors wiped $40 billion from IBM's market cap after Anthropic released COBOL translation tools. Analysts say the market got the news right and the conclusion wrong.
