COVID-19 demands turn ‘change resistant’ businesses to ‘change hungry’
As organizations rapidly and successfully implement COVID-required tech fixes such as mass implementation of VPNs and remote working, they’ve gotten enthusiastic on new digital transformation, says a senior IBM boss. “Projects that, in the past, were taking many, many years to work through, then got done literally in weeks,” said Howard Boville (pictured), senior vice ...
Supply chain AI creates eco benefits by reducing wasted resources
AI-based platforms designed for supply chains not only improve workflow, but they generate significant environmental advantages, including through the reduction of waste product. This is particularly the case in the fashion industry, where traditional demand-forecasting inaccuracies can cause massive oversupply. Design-to-store timeframes, demanded now by fast fashion consumers are getting speedier. That means there’s more ...
Real-time streaming analytics, with history added, best for CI/CD and microservices, says Coralogix
As organizations continue to collect more and more data, the cost of analyzing that data can cripple margins. Companies, therefore, are cherry-picking data to analyze. That’s a mistake, according to a startup that specializes in real-time streaming analytics. Why? Because you’re not getting all the intelligence, according to Ariel Assaraf (pictured), chief executive officer of ...
Fiddler Labs aims to remove artificial intelligence bias inequities through ‘explainability in AI’
Understanding how an artificial intelligence system generates its predictions is crucial for avoidance of bias, says a startup that has been developing what it calls “explainability in AI.” A person’s application for a loan, for example, being rejected or approved by AI needs to be analyzed for fairness. “You can actually create a dystopian world ...
Pharma 4.0 must focus on manufacturing, not just data, says AI firm

ChaosSearch aims to disrupt data lake log analytics at scale for ‘indexing in place’
Indexing data lakes in situ, rather than performing extraction, transforming and load processes is the best way to get value out of the pools of raw data, says a patent holder who has come up with a deep-tech method for doing it. Cloud data indexing specialist company ChaosSearch Inc. believes moving data around and out ...
TetraScience disrupts scientific discovery by automating in the cloud
Data ‘plumbing’ helped get the COVID vaccine ready quicker than most people thought possible. Automation, along with a cloud-first server environment and collaborative networks, are behind an unusually speedy vaccine rollout for COVID, explains a life sciences data-cloud scientist. The reason vaccine-maker Moderna Inc., for example, was able to successfully shift gears from sequence to ...
IBM’s and AWS’ five-year anniversary shows maturing relationship
It’s been about five years, since 2016, that IBM and Amazon Web Services Inc. started working together. Today, technologies and products such as Red Hat and SAP have become integral to AWS and its collaboration with IBM. “I’d say the last 18 months or so we both invested significantly in the relationship expansion around the ...
Hybrid cloud and AI mix to change how humans work with software
Microsoft is coupling hybrid cloud with artificial intelligence and has begun articulating how it sees those offerings paying off for customers. It thinks that AI integrated into business and industry will solve issues. “Increasing safety while at the same time improving the quality is something that we see in hybrid scenarios,” said Uli Homann (pictured), ...
