For the past two years, enterprises have focused on grounding AI systems in internal documents, databases and knowledge repositories. Microsoft now contends that the next challenge is giving those systems reliable access to the outside world as they move into production. At its ongoing annual Build conference, Microsoft unveiled Web IQ, a new suite of AI-native APIs designed to connect AI agents and applications to real-time information from across the web, including web pages, news, images and videos. The goal is to help developers build more accurate and context-aware AI systems while reducing the complexity of integrating web search, retrieval and grounding capabilities into enterprise applications, the company wrote in a blog post. The APIs already underpins grounding for Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT, and unlike traditional search APIs are designed to retrieve highly relevant information while minimizing token consumption, helping reduce both inference costs and response latency,

Some of the AI industry's biggest rivals have put their many, many grievances aside for a common cause: making it harder for people to use their technology to develop biological weapons. In an open letter to US lawmakers, tech leaders are pressing Congress to enact rules closing what they say is an alarming biosecurity gap that could help trigger a global pandemic. Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and Microsoft's Mustafa Suleyman are among the signatories urging US lawmakers to require companies selling synthetic DNA and RNA - genetic material that can ordered online and assembled in a lab - to screen purchases for sequences t … Read the full story at The Verge.

For enterprises embracing AI-assisted development, writing code is no longer the hardest part. Operationalizing it is. Microsoft is targeting that challenge with Rayfin, a new open-source SDK and CLI unveiled at Build 2026. “Rayfin turns backend development into a code-first workflow. Developers and coding agents can define a full application backend in code, including databases, business logic, APIs, identity, and access policies, and deploy it to Microsoft Fabric for a fully managed, enterprise-grade backend,” Shireesh Thota, CVP of databases at Microsoft, wrote in a blog post. In effect, Thota added, this approach cuts down the manual integration work and time typically required to connect backend systems once an application front-end is built. Explaining further, how Rayfin works, the top executive said that developers or coding agents working on their behalf define the entire backend using the SDK, and then that definition is deployed directly to Fabric using the CLI.
