Miami – October 02, 2026 -- Nuix used Sibos 2026 to position its Nuix Neo platform as a tool for financial institutions to convert unstructured data into usable financial crime intelligence, citing that up to 90% of enterprise data remains unreadable by conventional systems.

Nuix Neo processes over 1,000 file types to surface hidden risk signals

The platform's patented processing engine extracts information from emails, chat logs, counterparty data, transaction records, case files and voice recordings at a binary level. Deterministic natural language processing classifies and risk-scores the data, while semantic search surfaces relevant documents across languages based on meaning rather than keywords alone.

"AI is only as good as the data beneath it, and in complex financial crime investigations seeing and connecting all evidence is critical," said Chris Stephenson, Head of Industry Advocacy at Nuix.

Cary, N.C. – October 02, 2026 -- SAS and North Carolina State University have launched the SAS Think & Do Tank, a two-year pilot research partnership applying data and AI to human health, nutrition and environmental resilience challenges, 50 years after SAS originated from an NC State agricultural research project.

Partnership targets faster drug discovery through translational predictive biology

One of the initiative's first research efforts focuses on translational predictive biology, combining studies in living systems with advanced lab models such as organoids and organ-on-chip technologies that mimic human organ function. NC State researchers aim to build predictive models that help identify promising treatments earlier, explain why interventions succeed or fail, and cut the time and cost of moving new therapies toward clinical use.

Phoenix – October 02, 2026 -- Companies rolling out AI tools risk failed adoption if leaders ignore the informal trust networks that determine whether employees actually change how they work, according to organizational psychologist Dr. Deborah Peck.

Gallup data shows manager support drives 78% AI usage rate

A 2026 Gallup survey found that among employees at organizations implementing AI, 78% of those who strongly agreed their manager supports its use reported using the technology frequently. Peck said this gap shows that communicating the purpose of AI tools is as critical as deploying them, since employees who feel competitive about AI may withhold knowledge from colleagues, straining team trust and risking deadline or budget impacts.
