Data flexibility reimagined: The Cloudera-Snowflake partnership – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI, ,
Spurred by demands in generative artificial intelligence, supercomputing and advanced analytics, data management is evolving rapidly. In tune with that evolution, Cloudera Inc. is partnering with Snowflake Inc., with several data flexibility integrations and enhancements slated to reach enterprise users. Cloudera’s David Dichmann talks with theCUBE about its partnership with Snowflake. “The partnership with Snowflake focuses on this thing called the Iceberg REST Catalog, which is basically the ‘easy button’ for different data engines and data compute environments to … talk to any data anywhere so that we can share this data more uniformly,” said David Dichmann (pictured), senior director of…

Big-data startup UltiHash unveils advanced deduplication to boost AI storage efficiency – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI, ,
Big-data startup UltiHash GmbH is looking to disrupt the artificial intelligence storage market with the launch of a “unified storage layer” that combines a new and more sophisticated deduplication algorithm with the scalability of data lakes and the querying power of data warehouses. UltiHash reckons its unified storage layer is essential to tackle some of the most pressing challenges around AI storage, which has led to rising infrastructure costs and is having a significant environmental impact. The company cites a report by Forbes that shows how the market for AI will grow to more than $407 billion by 2027. As…

EY Survey: US Election Will Have a Big Impact On Tech

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
The 2024 presidential election will surely have far-reaching consequences in many areas — and artificial intelligence is no exception. EY’s latest technology pulse poll, published in October, revealed that 74% of 503 tech leaders expect the election to impact AI regulation and global competitiveness. Although tech leaders said they plan to significantly increase AI investments in the next year, future growth of AI may hinge on the outcome of the election. Respondents believe the outcome of the election would most impact regulation related to cybersecurity/data protections, AI and machine learning, and user data and content oversight. “Of course, all of…

From accessibility upgrades to a custom cat-food bowl, this mobile 3D printer can autonomously add features to a room

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Today's 3D printers make it fairly easy to conjure, say, a chess set into existence. But these printers are largely fixed in place. So if someone wants to add 3D-printed elements to a room -- a footrest beneath a desk, for instance -- the project gets more difficult. A space must be measured. The objects must then get scaled, printed elsewhere and fixed in the right spot. Handheld 3D printers exist, but they lack accuracy and come with a learning curve. University of Washington researchers created MobiPrint (https://makeabilitylab.cs.washington.edu/project/mobiprint/), a mobile 3D printer that can automatically measure a room and print…

5 Best AI Writing Tools: Supercharge Your Content Creation

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Over the past two years, the market has been flooded with sparkly artificial intelligence tools that promise to improve our writing. Generative AI’s primary function is content creation, and chatbots are its most accessible form, so it is not surprising that the number of so-called “copilots” has grown quickly. However, many are based on the same large language models and produce varying results. It is widely accepted that, without the human touch, AI favours cliched, repetitive content. This is especially the case for tasks used in a professional setting, such as drafting emails and marketing content. Saying that, bespoke AI…
