While Omnichannel 1.0 was focused on showing up across platforms, Omnichannel 2.0 prioritized consistency and integration.

WebMMU: Multimodal and Multilingual Evaluation of Agent Reasoning on Web

Welcome to the AI research bites. This series of short and informative talks showcases cutting-edge research work from ServiceNow AI Research team. The AI Research Bites are open to all, especially those interested in keeping up with the fast-paced AI research community. Modern web agents can read, but few can see holistically. Despite rapid progress in multimodal LLMs, today's models falter when asked to visually ground UI elements, reason over DOM structures, or edit complex layouts across diverse languages and domains. WebMMU is our attempt to course-correct.

Data Governance and Ethics in Transportation AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data are fundamentally reshaping transportation, from smart traffic management and logistics optimization to predictive maintenance and autonomous vehicles. However, while the technology evolves at a rapid pace, the non-technical aspects of implementation, such as governance, ethics, privacy, and transparency, often lag behind. To build systems that are not only intelligent but also trustworthy, we must develop frameworks that prioritize secure data sharing, privacy preservation, and explainable AI (XAI).
