Since the one legitimate technology revolution of the century, the convergence of mature and networked software interfaces with GPS-enabled smartphone cameras, we’ve been waiting for the next technology ship to come in. It wasn’t 3D printing, which has mostly disrupted the ghost gun industry. Augmented reality technology hasn’t gotten there either, though it was able ...

We believe today’s so-called modern data stack, as currently envisioned, will be challenged by emerging use cases and artificial intelligence-infused apps that begin to represent the real world, in real time, at massive data scale. To support these new applications, a change in underlying data and data center architectures will be necessary, particularly for exabyte-scale ...

Stytch Inc., a startup providing identity access management infrastructure for developers, today announced the general availability of its Passkeys offering for developers, which offers an easier way to build, customize and maintain passkey-based authentication in their applications. The company says the new solution offers a flexible, application programming interface-first approach to passkeys that abstracts the complexity ...

Yet another AWS re:Invent has come and gone and made an indelible mark in the technology sector. There were so many fresh developments that the keynotes barely scratched the surface. In this blog, I cover the ones pertaining to data, analytics and AI — areas that I am most passionate about. I am a veteran ...

News flash: Vector databases and vector searches are no longer a differentiation. Yes, how fast times change as what was cool just six months ago is suddenly table stakes! What is cool is a unified ecosystem that supports generative artificial intelligence use cases on the same stack and supports traditional online transaction processing and online ...

Internal skills gaps and talent market pressures are a persistent barrier for most infrastructure and operations leaders’ initiatives and this I&O skills shortage is not expected to improve in 2024. The challenge is further exacerbated when it comes to implementing edge in an organization. Skills gaps are particularly hard to fill for edge initiatives because ...

Generative artificial intelligence has created a new mandate in enterprise tech with significant implications for all companies generally and Amazon Web Services Inc. specifically. Amazon’s powerful playbook based on agility, developer choice, power, scale, reliability and security must now evolve to accommodate simplicity and coherence for mainstream customers. This imperative came into clear focus at ...

Generative artificial intelligence may be the hottest topic in enterprise information technology circles these days, but it was only part of the story at this past week’s massive Amazon Web Services re:Invent conference in Las Vegas, both within Amazon.com Inc.’s AWS and among exhibitors. AWS certainly touted its gen AI offerings. In particular, it is ...

When OpenAI launched ChatGPT in late 2022, it ushered in the age of generative artificial intelligence for the masses and introduced a whole new world of innovation, opportunity and risk. Because of the open nature of ChatGPT and the other generative AI models that soon followed, many companies, especially those in big data and information ...

One of the most dramatic effects of generative artificial intelligence is on its way, as businesses apply the revolutionary technology to understanding and acting on business itself. In 2023 the world felt the gen AI revolution through computers that responded to ordinary language and produced original text, images, music and software code. This was possible ...
