According to a USA Today story, online retail giant Amazon.com, which has made its name selling books, CDs, DVDs and other items, is getting into the programming business. Its first weekly series, Amazon Fishbowl with Bill Maher, a variety show hosted by the HBO satirist (and former host of ABC's Politically Incorrect), begins airing on the website June 1.

Highlights of a preview episode, to be filmed this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival, will begin showing on the site Tuesday. The first guests include Stephen King, whose new book, Cell, hits stores Tuesday; musician Rob Thomas; and screenwriter Armistead Maupin and actress Toni Collette from the film The Night Listener, which is showing at the festival.

The 30-minute program, when it begins airing for 12 consecutive Thursday nights, will be streamed live. Afterward, it can be watched on demand.

AI Agents Have Memory. Where is The Security?

Enterprise AI adoption keeps running into the same wall: the moment sensitive data, model weights, or agent memory leave a tightly controlled environment, security teams lose visibility into what happens to them while the workload is actually running. Confidential computing exists to close that gap, and new research from ABI Research shows the technology has matured enough, across CPUs, GPUs, containers, and now agentic AI, to become a foundational requirement for enterprises building sovereign AI infrastructure: computing environments they control end to end rather than simply rent. Protection is Moving From CPUs to GPUs ABI Research finds that CPU-based confidential computing is closest to mass-market adoption, the product of years spent hardening chip-level isolation for general workloads. GPU-based confidential computing is now generating the strongest momentum, and for good reason. It addresses one of the largest unresolved gaps in AI security: protecting data and models while inf...
