Artificial Intelligence and much automation have two viable paths. One path supported by companies like IBM is to enhance employees. The other, more familiar path is to replace them with automation. I’m working with the World Talent Economic Forum. A recurring topic is how do we improve the quality of candidates coming out of education […]

This week is NVIDIA’s GTC, or GPU Technology Conference, and they likely should have changed the name to ATC because this year – it is all about AI. To say this show was rich in big announcements and technology would be an understatement. The advances in autonomous cars, robotics, graphics tools (the Adobe fireside chat […]

One of the things I’m looking forward to seeing at next week’s NVIDIA GTC event is an update on their Conversational AI efforts. I’m fascinated with this because I was a Competitive Analyst for ROLM Systems and part of my responsibility was IVR (Interactive Voice Response Units).  IVRs were the predecessor to the bots that […]

One of the major trends this decade is in AI development, and one of the areas that are moving the fastest is Automotive AI.  It has become such a significant trend that NVIDIA’s coming GTC conference has made a massive investment towards AI developers and innovators this year.  In general, AI has favored GPU technology […]

Three companies were critical to creating the PC of today, well, four if you include Apple.  But Apple only set a direction. The work of IBM coupled with Intel and Microsoft created the IBM PC, which founded what over 90% of us currently use as our desktop solution today. Apple isn’t leading in anything but […]

This week AMD launched their latest EPYC record-breaking enterprise processor, the 7003.  Lenovo stepped out early, embracing the announcement, promising up to a 2x performance increase, and positioned it around the message that their solution would improve security and provide a better return on investment than competing offerings. Lenovo also wrapped the solution with their […]

Getting secure global data access to data is a key problem. This problem came up early on as the industry spun up advanced Supercomputers and AI systems like IBM’s Watson to rapidly locate existing medications that could help prevent hospital stays and the loss of life due to the pandemic. The data that could provide the […]

At Microsoft Ignite this year, Mitra Azizirad, Microsoft’s Corporate VP of AI and Innovation, gave one of the most exciting presentations. She opened with a story about how the man vs. machine chess match was eventually won by a computer, one that became unbeatable until they figured out how to partner a top player with […]

I’ve been following and fascinated by IBM’s advanced enterprise artificial intelligence platform named Watson since the very start. When it started, the very first implementation I was briefed on was for medical work. It showed a ton of progress, and I still recall getting briefed by the leading physician working on the project. He told […]

As technologies advance, it often takes a while for people to implement them effectively. Take computer modeling, for instance, yes you can use it to forecast outages, and I have little doubt there were efforts to do precisely that. We are unlikely to see those reports now because smart analysts have learned that a fast […]
