Salesforce Data Cloud: Converting data into powerful business insights – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIBrian Njuguna, SiliconANGLE, Unifying data for unmatched insights: How Salesforce Data Cloud transforms business decision-making

Even though data is the backbone of better decision-making, the disconnect between data products and business platforms is proving to be detrimental, making Salesforce Data Cloud important since it unifies data sources for enhanced commercial insights. By creating a value add layer on top of the existing data infrastructure, Salesforce Data Cloud avails richer analytic components through the integration of standalone data products, boosting insights in broader areas, such as sales and marketing, according to Muralidhar Krishnaprasad (pictured), exeuctive vice president of software engineering at Salesforce Inc. “We are trying to bridge the gap between the CIOs running these data…

How agentic AI platforms will redefine enterprise applications – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPTGuest Author, How agentic AI platforms will redefine enterprise applications, SiliconANGLE

We believe enterprise applications are undergoing a profound change. By next year, highly capable agentic systems will emerge to create new application classes and alter the way organizations think about their backend systems, data platforms and user interfaces. The extent of the transformation, we believe, will be more impactful to the application stack than were the changes brought about by innovations seen during the modern graphical user interface, Web, cloud and mobile eras. Though many people are talking about agents, very few in our view have thought deeply about the potential of deploying and orchestrating armies of hundreds or thousands…

Anthropic reveals system prompts that guide its Claude AI models’ behavior – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPTAnthropic reveals system prompts that guide its Claude AI models' behavior, Mike Wheatley, SiliconANGLE

Anthropic PBC, one of the major rivals to OpenAI in the generative artificial intelligence industry, has lifted the lid on the “system prompts” it uses to guide its most advanced large language models, such as Claude 3.5 Opus, Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Claude Haiku. It’s an intriguing move that positions Anthropic as a bit more open and transparent than its rivals, in an industry that’s often criticized for its secretive nature. Systems prompts are used by generative AI companies to try to steer their models away from responses that are unlikely to reflect well on them. They’re designed to guide…
