You're tuned in to Tech Beat, and here's what's moving in the world of technology today.

GitLab's latest research is raising a flag that many developers already feel in their bones. Ninety-one percent of organizations are running two or more AI coding tools simultaneously, yet nearly four-fifths say governance simply hasn't kept pace. The study puts it plainly: speed without control is a liability, and the time saved writing code is now being spent reviewing and validating what the machines produced.

That tension between speed and control shows up in a very different way over at Morgan Stanley, where the bank deployed AI agents inside one of finance's most unforgiving workflows — profit and loss reconciliation. They cut that workload in half, but the counterintuitive lesson is that they got there by dialing back autonomy, keeping humans tightly in the loop rather than letting the system run free.

And on the lighter side of the hardware world, Samsung is doing its best impression of an art project ahead of its next Unpacked event. Cryptic social posts show the company slicing pizza, smearing paint, and assembling puzzles — all apparently hinting at shapes, which strongly suggests the next generation of foldable devices is on its way before the month is out.

Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
