Key points
- Google announced Gemini 4 Carbon on October 28, 2026, for finding and fixing software vulnerabilities.
- SoftBank launched AGENTIC STAR 3.0 on October 26, 2026, to handle multi-step corporate tasks with logging.

SoftBank launched AGENTIC STAR 3.0 on October 26, 2026, a service allowing companies to delegate multi-step tasks to AI agents. Unlike chatbots that answer single queries, this tool executes sequential workflows and logs performance metrics such as time taken and failure rates. SoftBank positions this as a way for businesses to verify AI effectiveness and reduce operational costs, though the article notes that specific productivity improvements at adopting companies have not yet been proven.
Reuters reported on October 30, 2026, that the U.S. military is expanding AI use in operations, including the use of the 'Maven' system in Iran. The system aggregates data from satellites and communications to speed up decision-making. The report highlights risks, citing a CNN account of a near-miss where AI misidentified a Chinese merchant ship as carrying nuclear parts. These developments underscore growing concerns about accountability and error verification when AI influences critical decisions.
