Indianapolis – September 18, 2026 -- Kristen Nunery, CEO of illumend and founder of myCOI, is urging risk and compliance leaders to demand AI systems that do more than ground decisions in an organization's insurance requirements, arguing that grounding alone leaves compliance determinations vulnerable to costly errors. Nunery outlines her position in a new article, "Grounding Is Half the Answer in COI Compliance," aimed at organizations in construction, commercial real estate, retail, franchising and government that rely on vendors, contractors, tenants and franchisees to maintain contractually required insurance coverage.

Dubai – – September 18, 2026 -- OpenClips has launched a platform that turns a single product page link into a finished, production-ready video advertisement, aggregating more than 45 video and image generation models into a single interface.

Platform Skips the Prompt Stage That Consumes Campaign Time

Most AI video tools open with an empty prompt field, forcing users to write scripts and plan shots before any rendering begins. OpenClips instead reads the product page directly, pulling imagery, features and positioning to build a scene-by-scene storyboard automatically.

"Right now there is no faster way to get a production-ready ad out of a product page," said Dan Petkovic, CEO of OpenClips. "Every other tool hands you an empty prompt box and calls it creative freedom. You should be able to paste a link and get back something you can actually run."

Munich – September 18, 2026 -- Hexnode, the enterprise software division of Mitsogo, unveiled Hexnode Synapse at its HexCon26 user conference, an agentic orchestration layer designed to coordinate IT and security actions across multiple enterprise systems from a single governed workflow.

Synapse turns fragmented IT handoffs into one automated sequence

Apu Pavithran, CEO and Founder of Hexnode, said IT tasks such as onboarding or threat response typically require manual coordination across identity systems, devices and HR platforms, with a person connecting each step every time. Synapse is built to eliminate that manual bridging by having specialist AI agents reason through requests and execute actions within defined limits.

Beijing – September 18, 2026 -- Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. fielded its self-developed humanoid robots in the standing high jump, 100-meter sprint and standing long jump at the second World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, testing gait algorithms and joint responsiveness under high-speed, complex control conditions.

Zoomlion robots complete three demanding athletic events against global competitors

The machines delivered consistent performances across all three disciplines, demonstrating integration of hardware architecture, AI algorithms and motion-control systems. Zeng Guang, general manager of Zoomlion's ZValley, said the competitions assessed AI capabilities and real-world deployment readiness beyond raw speed and strength, allowing the company to benchmark its technology against international teams and refine reliability for industrial settings.

Maidenhead – September 18, 2026 -- RWS (AIM: RWS.L) has opened public preview of Tridion Agent and Tridion Connect, two agentic AI tools designed to let regulated enterprises detect regulatory changes and propose content updates without losing human control over what gets published.

New tools cut impact-assessment time from days to hours

The platform automates a costly manual process for organizations managing complex technical and regulatory documentation: determining which content is affected when a regulation, standard or product specification changes. In early use, teams report reducing impact-assessment time from days to hours while retaining human oversight of consequential changes.

Kyoto – September 18, 2026 -- ROHM Co., Ltd. has developed the RS4P063BPHZG, a 100V MOSFET delivering approximately five times the Safe Operating Area (SOA) tolerance of standard equivalent-sized products under VDS=100V and PW=100 microseconds.

New MOSFET targets automotive safety and protection circuits

The RS4P063BPHZG is optimized for airbag inflator ignition circuits, seat belt pretensioner drive circuits, and pyro-fuse drive circuits for battery cutoff. ROHM engineered the device to effectively suppress secondary breakdown, achieving Wide-SOA performance across a broad voltage range while housed in the standard HPLF5060 (5060-size) package widely used across automotive applications.
