Published

on

RedThread Research’s latest report, “AI and People Analytics Technology: Insights from the Starting Line,” explored the evolving role of artificial intelligence in HR technology, highlighting its current role in workforce management and how it can improve efficiency, and help with decision-making. The research reveals a significant disconnect between vendor-stated capabilities and customer perceptions, as well as gaps in ethics and risk management. With insights into how vendors use machine learning (ML) and generative AI (Gen AI), the findings emphasize the need for greater transparency and practical applications to bridge these gaps and deliver meaningful impact.

WOODSIDE, Calif., Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — RedThread Research has unveiled its latest report, “AI and People Analytics Technology: Insights from the Starting Line,” offering a comprehensive look at the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in HR technology. The report explores the evolving role of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) and machine learning (ML) across people analytics technology, highlighting both opportunities and challenges for organizations seeking to leverage these tools. It synthesizes eight months of quantitative and qualitative research — drawing on surveys from 48 vendors and 171 customers, vendor briefings, practitioner roundtables, and ongoing discussions with RedThread members.

“Generative AI is transforming HR technology in ways we’re only beginning to understand. It is poised to tackle some of HR’s most persistent challenges — but right now, we are seeing a lot of talk about AI in the tech and less clarity on how AI is solving leaders’ critical business challenges.”

Sponsored by the RedThread Tech Consortium, this research finds that AI is primarily being used to address workforce management challenges, improve efficiency, and enhance decision-making. Vendors are using Gen AI to improve access to data and insights through natural language processing and analyze employee feedback and comments — but there are also critical shortfalls in areas such as risk management, ethics, and customer understanding.

“Generative AI is transforming HR technology in ways we’re only beginning to understand,” said Stacia Garr, co-founder and principal analyst at RedThread Research. “There’s no doubt that it is poised to tackle some of HR’s most persistent challenges — but right now, we are seeing a lot of talk about AI in these technologies and less clarity on how AI is solving leaders’ critical business challenges.”

Key Takeaways from the Report:

Broad AI Adoption — and Customer Skepticism: While 90% of vendors report using AI (ML and Gen AI), only 40% of customers recognize AI within their solutions, highlighting a significant disconnect in communication and implementation. Use Cases Align. Usage Perceptions Don’t: Vendors and customers agree on the top use cases for AI — like NLP and attrition analysis, but customers are less likely to say they’re seeing them in action.Traditional ML vs. Gen AI: Vendors prioritize Machine Learning for workforce management challenges like retention prediction, while Generative AI is more frequently applied to data accessibility and interpretation and optimization tasks. Innovation is Strongest Among Small Vendors: Companies under $1M in revenue are leading experimentation with AI, leveraging agility for faster adaptation. Ethics and Risk Management are Lacking: A notable gap exists in vendors addressing ethical concerns or creating the frameworks necessary to ensure internal and external ethical use of AI. Similarly, only half of vendors are ensuring SOC 2 certification for security and risk management.

“Our findings here highlight a gap between vendor capabilities and customer expectations,” added Priyanka Mehrotra, co-author and analyst. “We see the need for more transparency, risk management, and practical applications of AI if vendors want to deliver more meaningful impact to employers and their employees.”

By

BinBase updates its 2026 dataset with specialized Fast Funds, Visa Direct, and Mastercard MoneySend indicators to help iGaming operators and payout platforms execute seamless, instant card disbursements.

MIAMI, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BinBase, a global provider of payment routing intelligence and card issuing data, has introduced specialized instant payout indicators as part of its upgraded 2026 BIN Database. Tailored for iGaming operators, online gambling platforms, crypto-to-fiat ramps, and payout aggregators, the updated dataset helps platform engineers streamline real-time card disbursements and Push-to-Card (P2C) transactions.

In high-velocity sectors such as online betting and gaming, instantaneous player payouts are a primary driver of customer retention. However, executing Push-to-Card transactions through protocols like Visa Direct and Mastercard MoneySend requires knowing whether the receiving card issuer supports Fast Funds for specific merchant category codes (MCCs). Attempting instant payouts on non-eligible cards leads to declined transactions, elevated processing fees, and poor user experiences.

The 2026 BinBase release solves this operational bottleneck by delivering dedicated attributes for real-time fund disbursements:

Fast Funds Eligibility: Granular indicators identifying domestic and cross-border Fast Funds support across global Visa and Mastercard ranges.Online Gambling Fast Funds (OG FF): Dedicated flags specifically identifying card ranges authorized to receive real-time gambling and betting payouts.Mastercard MoneySend & Visa Direct Indicators: Precise protocol compatibility markers (MS Ind & MT Ind) ensuring push transactions are routed only to eligible recipient cards.Direct Debit & Pull-Funds Support: Indicators for recurring collections and account-funding transactions.

“Player payouts in iGaming cannot wait for standard 2-to-3-day ACH settlements,” said a spokesperson for Damiko Inc. “By embedding our Fast Funds and Gambling FF flags into their payment engines, operators can instantly validate recipient cards before initiating a transfer, guaranteeing high success rates and instant liquidity for their users.”

Fintech engineers and payout architects can examine the full 29-field database schema and access a free 2026 sample dataset on GitHub.

Walnut Coding’s Young Coders Serve as ‘Instructors’ at Huawei Cloud Developer Training Camp

Ages 8 and 15, students showcase AI-era project-building skills from concept to working application

BEIJING, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Walnut Coding (the “Company”), a leading online platform for youth coding education, said two of its students – ages 8 and 15 – have joined the “instructor” lineup at Huawei Cloud Developer Training Camp, making them among the youngest “instructors” in the program’s history. The Company cites the pair as a prime example of how young learners can combine coding fundamentals with AI tools to turn ideas into working applications.

The two students, Bolin Du, 8, and Peiqi Gao, 15, built working applications using Huawei Cloud CodeArts, an AI coding assistant, then presented the projects to the training camp themselves – walking the audience through their design choices, technical builds, and debugging process.

The move lands at a moment when AI coding tools are forcing a rethink across the education sector. Tools that can generate functioning code from a plain-language prompt have undercut the traditional argument for teaching children to program – that they need the skill to build things themselves. Walnut Coding’s answer is that the more valuable skill now is judgment – knowing what problem to solve, breaking it into parts, and determining whether an AI’s output actually works.

Gao built a travel-planning application that generates routes, itineraries, and recommendations based on user input, handling the project end to end, from requirements and design through coding and debugging. Du, the younger of the two, built an interactive calendar application, using HTML for page structure, CSS for visual design, and JavaScript for interactive features. Both students then took on an instructor’s role at the camp, presenting their project goals and technical implementation to the audience – a step Walnut Coding says separated the work from a typical classroom assignment.

These were not classroom exercises but working projects, built and presented inside a professional developer-training environment. The experience demanded more from both students than simply producing something functional – they needed to articulate their reasoning, defend technical choices, and refine the final result under scrutiny. Their participation signals a broader shift underway in what youth coding education can deliver.

AI is making code generation easier, but it is also redrawing which skills actually matter. A student who relies only on one-click generation may get a rough prototype quickly, but still struggle to spot logical flaws, judge whether the output is reliable, or turn an abstract idea into a product that actually works. Students with programming foundations, by contrast, are better positioned to define requirements, evaluate what the AI produces, correct its errors, and treat the technology as a tool rather than a shortcut to lean on.

“AI can help children generate code faster, but it cannot decide for them what problem they should solve, nor can it make the final judgment about whether the result is truly effective,” said Pengxuan Zeng, founder and CEO of Walnut Coding. “What these two students demonstrated is not just coding technique, but the ability to define needs, break down tasks, verify outcomes, and turn an idea into a working product. That is why we believe young people still need to learn programming in the AI era.”

Walnut Coding structures its courses around that thesis, pairing student-led project work with teaching-assistant guidance and AI-assisted support. According to the Company, this data is continuously fed back into its systems to refine the personalization of AI-assisted feedback — a closed-loop process linking teaching, practice, feedback, and curriculum development.

The Company frames the payoffs less around producing professional software engineers than around a broader form of literacy. As AI continues to reshape how tasks get done, the ability to understand the technology, structure problems clearly and collaborate effectively with intelligent tools may prove one of the most durable skills a young learner can develop.

Walnut Coding says it plans to keep expanding opportunities for students to build practical projects, partner with industry technology platforms such as Huawei Cloud, and develop the core capabilities needed to build with technology in the AI era.
