Hello and welcome to 2-Minute Tech Briefing from Computerworld. I'm your host. Arnold Davick, reporting from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Here are the top IT stories you need to know for Tuesday, December 23rd.<\/p>

From ComputerWorld, Google is testing an AI productivity agent that lives in your inbox. The experimental tool is called CC. It delivers a daily briefing and can draft emails while suggesting next actions by pulling information from Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Drive.<\/p>

Google is rolling it out as a consumer focused experiment, but if enterprises adopt something like this, guardrails will matter, because automated summaries and actions can create durable records and increase legal and compliance exposure.<\/p>

From InfoWorld, a new report suggests AI assisted coding still has some kinks to work out. According to a report by code rabbit, AI assisted code showed about 1.7 times more issues in pull request analysis in 470 GitHub pull requests.<\/p>

AI assisted code averaged about 11 issues versus about six for human only code and the worst, AIP ours slowed reviews the most, the biggest trouble spot, logic and correctness. And finally, Merriam Webster has named its word of the year for 2025 and yes, it is AI related, \"slop\".<\/p>

Merriam Webster defines slop as digital content of low quality that is produced, usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence.” They say the flood included absurd videos, weird ad images, propaganda, fake news that looks real, junky AI-written books, “workslop” reports… and lots of talking cats.<\/p>

Chances are we'll all be scrolling through a little slop this holiday season.
