Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily briefing on the stories shaping our digital world.
SAP is making a significant move into frontier artificial intelligence, announcing plans to acquire Prior Labs and establish what it's calling a major AI research presence in Europe. It's a signal that legacy enterprise software giants aren't content to watch the AI race from the sidelines.
