TransUnion’s AI initiatives pay off in some unexpected ways – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPTPaul Gillin, SiliconANGLE, TransUnion's AI initiatives pay off in some unexpected ways

Since launching a massive data lake earlier this year to support its analytics, application development and artificial intelligence use cases around the globe, TransUnion LLC has begun to realize the benefits of deploying artificial intelligence models in back-office cases – and they’re not necessarily what you would expect. Self-service AI models for data preparation are helping to break down silos that had formed around areas of expertise. Instead of throwing problems over the wall to be resolved by specialists, human analysts now turn to AI for solutions. That’s breaking workflow logjams and making work more meaningful, according to Venkat Achanta (pictured),…

Snowflake Inc. said today that it is expanding its partnership with Microsoft Corp. to support a connector that enables bidirectional access between Microsoft’s Dataverse platform for copilot development and the Snowflake AI Data Cloud. Snowflake said the connector simplifies interoperability between Microsoft’s Power Platform low-code/no-code suite, Dynamics 365 business applications and data stored in Snowflake. “We are on a mission to help organizations un-silo data,” said Christian Kleinerman, executive vice president of product at Snowflake. “We have all the standard connectivity touch points, but I don’t think we’ve had a good path, for example, to make Microsoft Dynamics data available…

StarTree Inc., the developer of a managed service based on the Apache Pinot real-time data analytics platform, today rolled out a set of enhancements aimed at helping organizations more efficiently accommodate evolving data structures, enhance query performance and streamline user access management. The company said the rapid expansion of table sizes and numbers and soaring ingestion and query rates are making managing dynamic data structures more complex. Unlike batch systems, which benefit from predictable periodic data loads and tolerance for brief downtime, real-time analytics requires that performance, security and reliability be maintained amidst constantly changing conditions that include schema shifts…

AI agents are practical. Reliability is another matter. – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPTAI agents are practical. Reliability is another matter., Paul Gillin, SiliconANGLE

Building artificial intelligence agents that can interact with each other reliably across services presents technical challenges that have never been tackled before. According to one AI researcher, that will limit their use to a narrow set of business processes for the next few years. Niloufar Salehi (pictured below), an assistant professor at the University of California at Berkeley, said traditional data processing systems are built to deliver predictable results. But nothing is predictable about machine learning. The same algorithm may produce entirely different results depending on context. Building trustworthy agentic AI systems involves solving problems that have never before existed.…

Safety and reliability concerns temper agentic AI mania – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPTPaul Gillin, Safety and reliability concerns temper agentic AI mania, SiliconANGLE

When information services and technology firm Thomson Reuters Corp. acquired accounting software firm Materia in October, it paved the way for what it sees as the future of its business. Materia, which is the business name of Credere Technologies Inc., builds software agents that can break down complex queries and consult numerous information sources to deliver a compound answer. Such automation could be a godsend for the accounting profession, which is facing a shortage of up to 3.5 million accountants by 2025. One reason often cited is the volume of tedious information-gathering the job involves. Thomson Reuters’ Wong sees applications…
