AI Is Only as Smart as the Data Behind It
The unglamorous discipline of data quality is quietly deciding which AI projects succeed — and which quietly fail. A few years ago, I sat in a conference room while a retail client showed off a new demand-forecasting model. The dashboard looked impressive: clean charts, confident predictions, a color scheme that seemed to say, “we’ve arrived.” […] The post AI Is Only as Smart as the Data Behind It appeared first on BigDATAwire.
NVIDIA-Backed Upscale Wants to Make Rival AI Chips Work Together
NVIDIA GPUs dominate today’s AI data centers, but they’re no longer the only processors companies want to use. Cloud providers are developing their own AI chips, while specialized accelerators are entering the market. Getting these different processors to work together efficiently is creating a new challenge for data center operators. That’s the problem Upscale hopes […] The post NVIDIA-Backed Upscale Wants to Make Rival AI Chips Work Together appeared first on BigDATAwire.
Argonne Uses AI Agents to Get Closer to Self-Driving Microscopes
Scientists often wait months to get their hands on some of the world’s most powerful research instruments, such as state-of-the-art microscopes. At facilities like Argonne National Laboratory’s Advanced Photon Source, these machines allow researchers to use extremely bright X-rays to study materials at microscopic scales. Once they get access to such instruments, every hour counts. […] The post Argonne Uses AI Agents to Get Closer to Self-Driving Microscopes appeared first on BigDATAwire.
Dell Gives AI Agents a Map of Enterprise Data
Dell announced today that it is expanding the Dell AI Data Platform with three new capabilities: the Unified Semantic Layer, Enterprise Knowledge Graph and Knowledge Agents. The goal is to give enterprise AI agents a shared understanding of company data. The pitch is that making data accessible to AI is not the same as making […] The post Dell Gives AI Agents a Map of Enterprise Data appeared first on BigDATAwire.
VDURA V12 Brings the Hyperscaler Storage Playbook to AI Factories
Neoclouds are spending a fortune on GPUs, and they need to keep those GPUs doing useful work. Storage is a big part of that equation. A lot of that comes down to how quickly the storage system can get data in and out when the GPUs need it. In some AI clusters, storage is already […] The post VDURA V12 Brings the Hyperscaler Storage Playbook to AI Factories appeared first on BigDATAwire.
The Real Enterprise Bottleneck in Enterprise AI Comes After the Demo
Enterprise product management has always required translating complex business needs into software that people can use effectively. Product managers gather requirements, balance competing priorities, coordinate technical teams, and determine whether new capabilities are producing meaningful results. I have spent almost 15 years doing that work on enterprise AI programs at multiple Fortune 100 companies, and […] The post The Real Enterprise Bottleneck in Enterprise AI Comes After the Demo appeared first on BigDATAwire.
AWS Launches Aurora Capability to Query Data Lakes Without Moving the Data
Moving enterprise data around is one of the less glamorous parts of the running modern data stack. Nevertheless, it is critical to getting the right data to the right applications when they need it. Companies build their data pipelines to shuttle information between databases and data lakes. This creates a plethora of challenges, including the […] The post AWS Launches Aurora Capability to Query Data Lakes Without Moving the Data appeared first on BigDATAwire.
Microsoft Pushes AI Deeper Into Scientific Discovery With Quine
AI can already help scientists make sense of large amounts of data. Microsoft Research is now testing whether it can play a bigger role in deciding what scientists should investigate next. Its new experimental system, Quine, brings together biological data, computational models and research tools to make predictions that researchers can put to the test […] The post Microsoft Pushes AI Deeper Into Scientific Discovery With Quine appeared first on BigDATAwire.
Why 70% of Enterprise AI Initiatives Fail, and It Isn’t the Model
Seventy percent of enterprise AI initiatives fail, and 54% of C-suite executives say adopting AI is not just not working, but actively disrupting their organization. In an industry that spends most of its energy debating model architecture, context windows, and inference costs, those numbers should stop us. The failures aren’t clustering around bad technology choices. […] The post Why 70% of Enterprise AI Initiatives Fail, and It Isn’t the Model appeared first on BigDATAwire.
How AI Agents Are Reshaping the Database
Databases are used to handling queries from applications and people. However, now with AI agents being part of nearly every enterprise AI system, this could make that workload much harder to predict. An agent can make multiple queries while working through a single task. It can retrieve information from different sources and repeat the process […] The post How AI Agents Are Reshaping the Database appeared first on BigDATAwire.
AI Personalization Is Only as Good as the Data Infrastructure Behind It
A customer shops online for a winter coat, buys one, and continues seeing nearly identical coats in every recommendation slot for the next three weeks. The system has correctly identified an interest, but it has missed the change in intent. The shopper may now need gloves, care products, a complementary outfit, or nothing else at […] The post AI Personalization Is Only as Good as the Data Infrastructure Behind It appeared first on BigDATAwire.
Enterprise AI Wants Your Most Sensitive Data. VAST Says It Can Keep It Safe
Enterprises have plenty of data they would like to use with AI. The problem is that some of their most valuable data is also the hardest to use. Think of all the customer records, financial information, internal research and other sensitive data that can’t always be sent to an outside AI service. There is another […] The post Enterprise AI Wants Your Most Sensitive Data. VAST Says It Can Keep It Safe appeared first on BigDATAwire.
Scientific Papers Can Now Become AI Agents
There are millions of scientific research papers that include tons of information. Of course, not all that information is valuable, but buried across those papers are experiments, datasets, methods and software that could help researchers answer new questions. The problem is that no scientist can possibly read and make use of more than a small […] The post Scientific Papers Can Now Become AI Agents appeared first on BigDATAwire.
AI Agents Promise Automation. How Much Human Oversight Do They Still Need?
More than three-quarters of decision-makers in a new Collibra-sponsored Harris Poll said their organizations hit roadblocks moving AI agents from pilots into full production over the past year. More than half also reported spending significant staff hours reviewing and correcting agent outputs before they go live. The survey covered 306 U.S. data management, privacy and […] The post AI Agents Promise Automation. How Much Human Oversight Do They Still Need? appeared first on BigDATAwire.
Why NuoData Believes Enterprises Need a Different Way to Connect Data, AI, and Automation — Not Another Place to Store It
NuoData‘s leadership team sat down to answer six questions about the platform’s origins, its position alongside Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric and Google Cloud, and where they believe enterprise data and AI architecture is headed next. The answers have been lightly edited for length. NuoData describes itself as an end-to-end enterprise Data, AI and Agentic orchestration […] The post Why NuoData Believes Enterprises Need a Different Way to Connect Data, AI, and Automation — Not Another Place to Store It appeared first on BigDATAwire.
