Honing business data with AI real-time analytics – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIAccelerating AI with real-time analytics: Startups on 'the growth curve' weigh in, SiliconANGLE, Victor Dabrinze

A ground-up overhaul is currently underway in the realm of data architectures, and generative artificial is at its heart. Traditional databases no longer suffice; instead, modern applications demand enhanced data structures capable of accommodating AI integration seamlessly. With data volumes rising exponentially, is real-time analytics the key to honing that binary gold to unlock new value points for businesses? “It’s not just that there is a new category of applications, like chatbots and other things, that are being created, but every application now is getting enhanced with AI,” said Venkat Venkataramani (pictured, right), co-founder and chief executive officer of Rockset Inc. “The…

How 3D printers can give robots a soft touch

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A recent study demonstrates that soft skin pads doubling as sensors made from thermoplastic urethane can be efficiently manufactured using 3D printers. "Robotic hardware can involve large forces and torques, so it needs to be made quite safe if it's going to either directly interact with humans or be used in human environments," said project lead Joohyung Kim, a professor of electrical & computer engineering at the University…

Introducing Dell’s Data Lakehouse platform for enterprises – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAISiliconANGLE, The data lakehouse easy button: Dell and Starburst's vision for seamless data integration, Victor Dabrinze

Today’s businesses generate swathes of enterprise, customer and product data — but the challenge lies in operationalizing the resource. With data loads still growing at the enterprise level, is the data lakehouse the missing piece in the puzzle? “I think people need a better answer — I think that better answer is basically an easy button that works with their data gravity versus against it,” said Vrashank Jain (pictured, left), product manager at Dell Technologies Inc. “Then they need help from an expertise perspective. They need a bench of people who just know exactly what they’re doing. They can come in and help customers stand this up, run and manage…

Top 5 Cloud Trends U.K. Businesses Should Watch in 2024

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

As business data demands increase, cloud providers and their customers find themselves having to consider the implications of increasing storage costs, security risks and environmental footprint. Such impacts are of particular importance to U.K. organisations, as it is the largest cloud market in Europe. TechRepublic spoke to U.K. cloud experts to identify the top five industry trends emerging from the country’s burgeoning reliance on the fundamental IT infrastructure. These cloud trends are: Premiumisation of cloud packages. Movement towards hybrid multicloud models. Influx of sustainable cloud solutions. Continuous quest for data sovereignty. Focus on cloud security. 1. Premiumisation of cloud packages Adrian…

Computer game in school made students better at detecting fake news

A computer game helped upper secondary school students become better at distinguishing between reliable and misleading news. This is shown by a study conducted by researchers at Uppsala University and elsewhere. "This is an important step towards equipping young people with the tools they need to navigate in a world full of disinformation. We all need to become better at identifying manipulative strategies -- prebunking, as it is known -- since it is virtually impossible to discern deep fakes, for example, and other AI-generated disinformation with the naked eye," says Thomas Nygren, Professor of Education at Uppsala University. Along with…

It’s Chromebook’s Turn for an AI Injection

The first notable feature is Help Me Write, which works in any text box. Select text in any text box and right-click—you'll see a box next to the standard right-click context menu. You can ask Google's AI to rewrite the selected text, rephrase it in a specific way, or change the tone. I tried to use it on a few sentences in this story but did not like any of the suggestions it gave me, so your mileage may vary. Or maybe I'm a better writer than Google's AI. Who knows?Google's bringing the same generative AI wallpaper system you'll find…

Confluent simplifies integration between Kafka stream processing and Iceberg storage – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIConfluent simplifies integration between Kafka stream processing and Iceberg storage, Paul Gillin, SiliconANGLE

Confluent Inc. today announced new features in its cloud service that make it easier for users of its Apache Kafka-based streaming engine to store data in the Apache Iceberg table format. The new Confluent Tableflow enables users to convert Kafka topics, associated schemas and metadata to Iceberg tables with one click and better supports feeding analytic workloads in data lakes and data warehouses. That compares with what had previously been a “painful” process, said Addison Huddy, vice president of Kafka at Confluent. “Today, you have to think about how to partition data, consume it and write it out to S3 in…

Why can’t robots outrun animals?

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIEngineering; Robotics Research; Engineering and Construction; Civil Engineering; Robotics; Artificial Intelligence; Computer Science; Educational Technology

Robotics engineers have worked for decades and invested many millions of research dollars in attempts to create a robot that can walk or run as well as an animal. And yet, it remains the case that many animals are capable of feats that would be impossible for robots that exist today. "A wildebeest can migrate for thousands of kilometres over rough terrain, a mountain goat can climb up a literal cliff, finding footholds that don't even seem to be there, and cockroaches can lose a leg and not slow down," says Dr. Max Donelan, Professor in Simon Fraser University's Department…
