Google Cloud launches digital twin for telecom networks
Google Cloud detailed its new Autonomous Network Operations framework for telecoms: a system that uses a digital twin—a live, evolving virtual copy of a telecom network—on its scalable Spanner Graph infrastructure. This lets AI agents simulate changes, diagnose issues, and potentially resolve network problems automatically, all while mirroring the network in real time. The framework aims to enable truly self-driving—Level 5 autonomous—telecommunications networks.
- Relies on Google Cloud’s Spanner Graph technology
- Digital twin updates in real time with live network data
- AI agents simulate and automate network changes
- Targets the highest level of network automation (Level 5)

Google Cloud adds granular, automated session controls
Google Cloud has finished rolling out a default 16-hour session length for all customers who hadn't set their own, aimed at reducing stolen credentials and account takeovers. They've also overhauled session controls: now you can manage policies for specific user groups, automate policy updates through APIs or Terraform, and target individual applications. Plus, session settings can be managed directly in the Google Cloud Console, not just Workspace.
Nvidia demos AI factories that flex energy use on grid signals
Nvidia and partner Emerald AI just showed off an AI data center that can dial its electricity use up or down in real time, based on requests from Silicon Valley Power. Their system, using Nvidia's DSX Flex software, automatically slows less important AI computations to help balance the grid, with zero human intervention. So far, it’s handled over 200 such power-reduction requests without disrupting the main work.
Adecco rolls out Salesforce's Agentforce Coworker to 40 countries
Adecco is rolling out Salesforce’s Agentforce Coworker—an AI assistant powered by Anthropic’s Claude—to over 40 countries, after piloting it in the UK and France. The tool gives 27,000 employees a single dashboard for sales, client, and recruitment data, replacing dozens of old tools. Already, half of Adecco’s business revenues run on some form of agentic AI for recruitment.
