NVIDIA recently hosted its big GTC show. If there’s one thing I look forward to every year, it’s NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote.  This is because Huang lays out the near future for a bunch of technologies I care about, like artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous electric cars, the metaverse, and computer gaming.  After the keynote […]

I was at Intel’s powerful Israel Development Centre (IDC) recently, and it is a fascinating place. Pat Gelsinger, Intel’s CEO, is positioning IDC as the heart of Intel to address long-term diversity issues. Israel has a culture where women are treated more equally than most other geographies I have studied, and IDC has an unusually […]

We saw some troubling artificial intelligence (AI) coverage recently. There was an artist who won an art contest with AI-created art, and folks were screaming foul. Then we had concerns about how students could use AI authors to write papers. They wouldn’t be caught by using plagiarism tools, because they were original work, but written […]

If you’ve been working in corporations for any length of time, you probably have realized that many of the decisions that executives make are bad, their negative nature is generally covered up, and when problems result, a scapegoat is punished, while the failed decision-maker is rewarded and promoted.  To suggest that corporations unfairly treated employees […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a critical technology that is advancing incredibly quickly but most implementations I and other analysts have reviewed have failed to meet expectations.  Often the reasons include a lack of AI competence on the AI customer or vendor side, a lack of understanding by the individuals creating the solution for the problems […]

Lenovo’s TruScale, announced back in February of 2019, TruScale is Lenovo’s effort to get ahead of the as-a-service trend and come up with an umbrella service, somewhat like IBM’s multicloud effort in that both embrace and include third-party offerings in their efforts and both have the value of using what amounts to a general contractor […]

IBM recently spoke to their partnership with JSR and how they were applying their extensive knowledge of quantum computing to address real-world problems.  They again highlighted that there is a subset of important problems appropriate for quantum computing and that it will likely be a blend of traditional computers coupled with quantum computers that will […]

Companies like IBM that have pioneered artificial intelligence (AI) and have the power and reach of a multinational have the resources to create an internal ethics board, and IBM has what I believe is a storied history of behaving ethically.  Most companies lack both the resources of a company like IBM and the internal controls […]

Market disruption tends to happen in the technology industry on a regular basis.  We started out with cell phones being just wireless phones, and the market was dominated by companies like Motorola and Nokia, then PALM and Research In Motion. Then Microsoft flipped the market aggressively to smartphones and Apple stepped in. Now that market […]

Drones have been making the news ranging from how they have redefined the battleground in Ukraine, to becoming a viable and safer alternative to fireworks to what we will be talking about here, drone delivery.  Currently, we’re seeing efforts by Amazon to create its own platforms and Alphabet’s Wing effort, but each of these comes […]
