5paisa Capital used Global Fintech Fest 2026 in Mumbai, held September 8-11, to launch a pair of AI-powered trading tools. The company introduced AlgoSpace, a no-code algorithmic trading platform aimed at retail investors, and 5paisa MCP, a natural-language trading assistant built on Claude. CEO Gaurav Seth discussed trusted fintech and borderless finance during panel sessions at the event.
In a separate development, 5paisa announced a strategic partnership with OpenAI to deliver personalized AI-driven investing advice directly inside ChatGPT. The move ties the Indian broker's advisory services to one of the most widely used AI chatbots, expanding how retail investors can access automated guidance.
On the enterprise side, NinjaTech launched Ninja Enterprise, a fixed annual subscription that bundles AI workers with the GPUs they need to run. The plan comes in tiers of 100, 500 or 1,000 AI agents and covers computing power sourced from Microsoft or Amazon. An air-gapped option is available for customers handling sensitive workloads, with Infosys serving as the exclusive professional services partner.
ServiceNow pushed back on the idea that a simple kill switch is enough to manage risky AI agents. The company outlined a five-step governance framework: discover, observe, govern, secure and measure. ServiceNow emphasized that teams must understand the business work an agent supports before shutting it down, and is collaborating with Okta to strengthen agent identity and session security.
Shopify opened its checkout system to browser-based AI agents, introducing three new tools: get_checkout, update_checkout and complete_checkout. Agents can now inspect a checkout, modify details like shipping addresses, and place orders after buyer authorization. The WebMCP tools are rolling out to all eligible merchants and are designed to provide structured APIs for accurate commerce.
Revenue trends at two AI companies tell very different stories. SoundHound AI reported $44.2 million in Q1 2026 and climbed to $61.9 million in Q2 2026, driven by growth in AI-powered voice solutions and its acquisition of LivePerson. BigBear.ai, which serves national security and defense clients, saw revenue slip from $43.8 million in Q4 2024 to $36.7 million in Q2 2026, raising questions about its growth trajectory.
OpenAI and Anthropic are trading at roughly 30 to 38 times price to sales, far above the S&P 500 average of about 3.7 times. Anthropic reportedly delayed its IPO from October to November, while OpenAI pushed public offering plans to 2027. Analyst Apurva Sheth says the elevated multiples reflect strong growth expectations and compared the moment to the dot-com era.
Microsoft data reveals that nearly one in five working-age adults worldwide now use AI. The UAE leads with 73.3% adoption, followed by Singapore at 64.3%. South Korea posted the largest absolute gain among major economies, reaching 40.6%. The United States ranked 21st at 33%, while China ranked 67th at 17.5%, highlighting a widening gap between the Global North and Global South.
Dark web vendors are capitalizing on stolen AI account credentials, fueling a rise in LLM jacking. These accounts, often obtained through phishing, are sold cheaply and promise replacement access to buyers. Experts warn that the trend could lead to a major cyberattack as attackers use stolen accounts to extract sensitive information from AI systems.
In entertainment, Harry Potter producer David Barron is backing an AI-generated adaptation of Jack London's The Call of the Wild. The film will be produced at nmatic, with CGI and traditional VFX handling complex scenes. Barron said the technology has reached a point where a faithful version of the story is now feasible.
