Key takeaways: Organizations should accelerate digital literacy training to unlock the potential of emerging technologies such as 5G, IoT and artificial intelligence. Technology continues to move faster than business models, driving a lag in deployment. Achieving digital maturity isn’t a single moment, but rather an incremental process. As the recession casualties mount, a growing chorus […]
Key Takeaways: A burgeoning silicon industry is developing intelligent chips to enable artificial intelligence at the edge and at the device level. AI-enabled chips will enhance capabilities such as image recognition self-driving cars and voice-activated commands and more. The influx of diverse chips may pave the way for new, unexpected uses of AI at the […]
As the globe reels from COVID-19, patients and practitioners have turned to digital methods to fill the gap wrought by the virus. As of early April, more than 1 million people have tested positive for COVID-19, whose flulike symptoms can vary from mild to severe and which has caused more than 87,000 deaths at the […]
Making decisions with data in real time is challenging, particularly in times of crisis, when that information can change quickly. But artificial intelligence (AI) may help pave the way to better decision making when people need information quickly and with accuracy. Over the past couple of months, we’ve experienced real-world impact of information that is […]
From shortages of personal protective equipment to a variety of grocery items to electronics and apparel, coronavirus (COVID-19) has hit the global supply chain in expected and unforeseen ways, and it seems likely that it could take many months to recover. Bouncing back more quickly, said experts, will require supply chain managers to turn to […]
Data-driven experiences are rich, immersive and immediate. But they’re also delay-intolerant data hogs. Think pizza delivery by drone, video cameras that can record traffic accidents at an intersection, freight trucks that can identify a potential system failure. These kinds of fast-acting activities need lots of data — quickly. So they can’t sustain latency as data […]
Managed service providers see emerging technology as a significant source of business opportunity over the next couple of years. More than 50% of respondents to a recent CompTIA survey already offer IoT managed services today, according to the survey. The majority of MSPs have opted to take on IoT managed services as part of their […]
Despite the often-fuzzy definition of the term, artificial intelligence is looking like an eventual necessity for enterprise and industrial businesses — especially those with IoT deployments. Machine learning and computer vision have already gained ground in many industries, and data science has become a focus for many organizations. In an Internet of Things (IoT) context, […]
IoT World, which was scheduled to take place April 6–9, 2020, has been postponed until August 10–13, 2020. On March 9, the county of Santa Clara issued an order to cancel gatherings of 1,000 attendees or more up until April 01, 2020. On March 10, the local state of emergency was extended to April 9, […]
When deploying emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things, experts advocate patience. They often recommend starting small, and calculating return on investment as a long-term payback, over multiple years. After all, a significant number of digital transformation programs fail to live up to expectations, as the Harvard Business Review noted. While deliberation is important, […]
