Why Databricks vs. Snowflake is not a zero-sum game – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIGuest Author, SiliconANGLE, Why Databricks vs. Snowflake is not a zero-sum game

Three main pressure points are transforming the modern data landscape: 1) Increased interest in adopting open table formats to allow any compute to operate on any data; 2) The point of control is shifting from the database management system to the governance layer; and 3) AI is enabling the emergence of a new class of intelligent data apps that promise to radically automate business processes and drive unprecedented levels of productivity. Databricks Inc. and Snowflake Inc. are two firms locked in what sometimes appears to be an internecine battle. But our research shows that, in fact, their fiercely competitive nature…

Researchers are calling for regulation to guide the responsible and ethical development of bio-hybrid robotics -- a ground-breaking science which fuses artificial components with living tissue and cells. In a paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences a multidisciplinary team from the University of Southampton and universities in the US and Spain set out the unique ethical issues this technology presents and the need for proper governance. Combining living materials and organisms with synthetic robotic components might sound like something out of science fiction, but this emerging field is advancing rapidly. Bio-hybrid robots using living muscles can…

U.S., UK and EU Make Joint Statement on Fostering AI Competition

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

Four regulatory bodies from the EU, U.K. and U.S. have released a statement of combined intent to study whether the AI industry allows for sufficient competition. The four groups are the European Commission, U.K. Competition and Markets Authority, U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The statement doesn’t suggest any overarching regulation or the creation of a new regulatory body. “Our decisions will always remain sovereign and independent,” the statement reads. But, the organizations said, some cooperation is important because the risks stemming from the AI industry do not “respect international boundaries.” What does the joint statement say?…
