Already, more than 70 percent of employees report using AI for work related tasks, according to a new survey by HR company Howdy. But how workers use it suggests more trust must be built before AI becomes truly strategic. Three quarters of workers that use AI for work related tasks said they trust AI output quality, and half said they trust AI’s intentions. All the while, a full 62 percent of AI users said they don’t trust AI to do sensitive work. Among technology workers – 90 percent of whom use AI – a quarter said its use has led to “major problems,” such as bad code or deleted data. Up to this point, AI at work is mostly being used for writing and data analysis, showed the survey. Most Trusted GenAI Platforms Gemini 65% Perplexity 60% ChatGPT 56% Copilot 51% Claude 44% When asked what would make them trust AI outputs more, consistency was the top answer, named by 58 percent of respondents. Next was a desire for a system based on analysis rather than probability, named by 22 percent. Uptycs, a cloud-native cyber threat hunter, announced a strategic partnership with SAP to deploy verifiable AI analysts that augment enterprise security teams, enabling analysts to concentrate on advanced threat hunting and deeper attack path analysis while improving overall security coverage and resilience, said the company Uptycs’ AI analyst platform, Juno, was originally built to hunt threats across cloud-native and on-premises environments. In collaboration with SAP, early adopters are discovering its value as a strategic consultant, delivering actionable insights that go beyond standard threat detection. The result is strategic risk reports produced in minutes, not weeks, with every deployment generating hyperlinked citations tied to each organization’s private telemetry to ensure insights are both verifiable and actionable. With a unified ontology of 150,000 telemetry columns - a structured map that explains what everything means and how it relates to everything else - Juno provides a level of verifiable accuracy that allows security leads to act as business strategists rather than technical responders. Across the automotive and financial sectors, teams are using Juno to perform forensic investigations that previously required senior architects. By asking simple and clear questions, teams receive diagnoses verified against external references like CVE databases, ensuring AI guidance is never hallucinated. “The industry is tired of ‘Security Slop’ and AI that guesses,” said Ganesh Pai, CEO and founder of Uptycs. “This partnership demonstrates how we can safely combine human and AI capabilities, moving from reactive security to strategic transformation.” Anthropic officially announced the Claude Partner Network at its inaugural Partner Summit in early March. According to the company, a significant portion of Anthropic’s initial $100 million investment will be allocated directly to partners, supporting training and sales enablement, market development and co-marketing for joint campaigns and events. Anthropic is also expanding its partner-facing team to support the initiative, providing dedicated “Applied AI engineers” to assist partners working on live customer deals, technical architects to scope more complex implementations and localized go-to-market support in international markets. New partners will have access to a partner portal that includes Anthropic Academy training materials and other co-marketing resources. Qualified partners will also be added to the organization’s Services Partner Directory, where enterprise buyers can find firms with Claude implementation experience. Anthropic also announced its first Claude technical certification. Claude Certified Architect, Foundations, is a technical exam for solution architects building production applications with Claude. Later in 2026, Claude will also introduce additional certifications for sellers, architects and developers. Partners who join the network now will receive priority access to new certifications as they roll out. In addition, the new Code Modernization starter kit gives partners a straightforward starting point for migrating legacy codebases and remediating enterprises’ technical debt. Any organization that is bringing Claude to market is eligible to join the Claude Partner Network. Membership is free of charge, and applications are now open.
