It’s understandable why many individuals are skeptical about artificial intelligence (AI) these days. The portrayal of AI as a villain in various sci-fi narratives—think Grados and Skynet—certainly contributes to that distrust. Plus, the ongoing concerns regarding AI’s reliability only add fuel to the fire. Nevertheless, Microsoft is optimistic about changing this perception and is collaborating with Workday to make strides in this area. Unfortunately, their efforts didn’t seem to impress investors, as Microsoft’s stock dipped slightly during Tuesday afternoon trading.

This new partnership merges Workday’s Agent System of Record (ASOR) with Microsoft Entra Agent IDs, creating a formidable management tool for managing both people and AI agents. When these two systems collaborate, every AI agent on the Microsoft platform gains an identity backed by the essential contextual validation that enables them to function effectively.
“The rise of AI agents in our work processes poses a real challenge in managing and safeguarding them across various systems,” mentioned Gerrit Kazmaier, president of Products and Technology at Workday. “We’re committed to fostering an open ecosystem to give organizations the flexibility to develop a fleet of AI agents. The focus should be on outcomes rather than complexity.”
Xbox PC fork
One common curiosity among gamers is whether the next Xbox will support Steam. Recent reports indicate that we might be getting closer to that reality. The Xbox PC app now boasts an “aggregated game library” that includes titles not just from Steam, but also from Battle.net and several other platforms. Xbox Insiders have been testing this feature for some time, and now more users of the Xbox PC app are joining in.
Disappointingly, the Xbox PC app isn’t directly usable with the Xbox console. However, it does suggest a future where, at least to some degree, Xbox games and PC titles could coexist.
