Democratizing AI

Democratizing AI is all about empowering others to use it, by making it available to them. Audiences, such as marketers in a company, will be able to access AI capabilities as part of their MarTech solutions, without the need of being technical. It could also be schools, where the younger generations are learning how to use it in responsible, secure, innovative, and creative ways. This is the year where companies, after discovery phases and teams experimenting, are looking to activate and take advantage of the AI advances. Generated with Microsoft Designer   And so, questions emerge, such as “What to democratize when leveraging AI?” There are common scenarios, as well as specific ones, that will depend on the company, and the industry they belong to.

Apple's App Tracking Transparency sealing Meta's fate

Anonymous
If you have been following the recent news on Meta (formerly Facebook) you may have read that Meta recently projected their ad revenue will be cut by a staggering $10 billion in 2022 due to Apple’s new App Tracking Transparency feature (also known as ATT).

SLA-SLO-SLI and DevOps metrics

Companies are in need of the metrics that will allow them to stay in business by making sure they meet the expectations of their customers. The name of the game is higher customer satisfaction by winning their trust and loyalty. To do so, you want to provide good products and services.

I bring them up because the relationship between them and the SLAs is that they provide, in a way, foundational aspects for the SLA-SLO-SL...

Tech is evolving faster than ever in this AI era, that it feels every week there is something new to talk about, and what you learn weeks back is no longer relevant, or “that AI tools” already has gone through changes that you need to catch up with in order to stay relevant.  Fear not, embrace the challenges and learnings, and find applications for it that are good and ethical for this present, and the hereafter.  The new “craze” is AI agents, and for good reason!  Image generated with NightCafe In contrast with AI chatbots, an AI agent can execute tasks on your behalf. If you are thinking “ that this could be agents that we leave running independently for many days for a group of deliveries ”… Well then you are correct! Are there risks? Should we talk about trust and accountability? The answer for both is yes. I already hinted at it a couple of paragraphs above, when I wrote “ good and ethical ”. AI (Artificial Intelligence) agents are software that work autonomously,...
