<li><strong>Human guidance is key for AI agent performance</strong>: New research using the SkillsBench benchmark reveals that AI agents perform significantly better—an average of 16.2 percentage points higher—when provided with curated, human-defined skills. Agents that generate their own skills or receive no human input show no performance improvement. This highlights the current limitations of AI agents in autonomous skill development and underscores the critical need for human oversight and guidance for effective agentic AI. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/c3BmZNVYL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>Xbox leadership shake-up</strong>: Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer and Xbox President Sarah Bond are out, replaced by Asha Sharma from Microsoft CoreAI. Sharma immediately rejected AI-generated content, which is a bold stance considering her background. Apparently, declining console sales and Game Pass price hikes are more pressing than whatever AI magic they were cooking up. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/rUamL6WlB" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>ATM jackpotting attacks surge</strong>: The FBI is warning about a surge in ATM jackpotting attacks, with criminals netting $20 million in 2025 by combining physical access with malware.

<li><strong>AI agent development: 90% adoption, 41% AI-generated code</strong>: According to some reports, 90% of software professionals are using AI agents daily, and 41% of global code is AI-generated by 2026. Also, 60% of organizations are running AI agents in production. Yet, 96% of developers don’t fully trust AI-generated code and spend 24% of their week auditing it. Sounds like we’ve just traded one kind of toil for another, but hey, at least the numbers look good on a slide. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/0RZnFaVdx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
