H-FARM EVENTS ON AI

H-FARM CLUB Artificial Intelligence

H-FARM's AI Club is a monthly community meetup that brings up to 500 people together in our beautiful H-FARM Campus to cut through the AI noise with real news, real cases, real debate. Join us on March 12 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. On stage this edition:

• Latest news & updates by Diego Pizzocaro (CEO, H-FARM AI): A practical, up-to-date selection of news, newly released or updated tools, and best practices useful across industries.

• Automating Workflows with AI by Emilio Turco (Senior Account Executive, n8n): How is AI automation evolving? From agentic workflows and human-in-the-loop systems to reliability at scale — real-world use cases, lessons learned, and best practices around governance, security, and evaluation to discover how the most advanced companies are building cutting-edge solutions today.

• Moving AI from Experimentation to Operational Impact by Abhi Shek (Senior Data & AI Manager, adidas): Practical decision-making, system thinking, and what it really takes to move AI from experiments to real operational impact.

📊 AI sessions now 56% the size of global search 📊
Graphite study reveals AI usage is far larger than previous web-only reports suggested.

A new study from Graphite finds that AI assistants now generate 45 billion monthly sessions worldwide, equivalent to 56% of total search engine volume—four to five times larger than prior estimates that only tracked web data. ChatGPT dominates with 89% of global AI sessions, while 83% of all AI usage occurs on mobile apps, a surface most earlier analyses ignored entirely. Crucially, search itself has not declined: combining AI and traditional search, total usage grew 26% worldwide since 2023, suggesting the market is expanding rather than shifting. The finding reshapes how marketers and publishers should think about SEO, ad spend, and content distribution strategy.

⚖️ Anthropic sues Pentagon over supply chain blacklisting ⚖️
AI company challenges DoD designation typically reserved for foreign threats.

Anthropic has filed two federal lawsuits against the U.S. Department of Defense after being designated a "supply chain risk"—a classification normally applied to foreign security threats like Huawei. The dispute stems from a proposed $200 million AI contract, with Anthropic claiming it refused to allow its systems for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons. The company argues the decision is unlawful and violates First Amendment rights. Over 30 OpenAI and Google staffers signed a legal brief supporting Anthropic, warning the blacklisting threatens U.S. AI leadership. This case could set major precedent for how AI companies navigate defense contracts and ethical boundaries.

🤝 OpenAI acquires Promptfoo for enterprise AI security 🤝
Red-teaming platform will integrate into OpenAI Frontier for built-in security testing.

OpenAI announced the acquisition of Promptfoo, an AI security and red-teaming platform already used by over 25% of Fortune 500 companies to identify vulnerabilities in AI systems during development. The platform will remain open source and continue serving existing customers post-acquisition. Once the deal closes, Promptfoo's capabilities will integrate natively into OpenAI Frontier, providing built-in security testing, evaluation workflows, and compliance reporting for enterprise AI agents. This acquisition strengthens OpenAI's competitive positioning as enterprises increasingly demand robust security controls for AI deployments.

🔍 Anthropic launches Code Review for Claude Code 🔍

The rollout of Code Review for Claude Code addresses growing quality concerns as AI-generated code proliferates. The tool connects directly to GitHub, scanning pull requests for bugs, logic errors, and security vulnerabilities using multiple AI agents. Each automated review costs $15-$25 and is available for Team and Enterprise accounts—notably, the tool flags issues but doesn't approve or block PRs, preserving existing workflows.
