Industrial Intelligence: The next growth opportunity for manufacturing
Industrial Intelligence: The next growth opportunity for manufacturing

Every manufacturer has its own industrial intelligence. Some is documented, and some resides in the knowledge of experienced workers. Consider an experienced operator preparing to restart a line after a changeover. The machine settings matter, but so does knowing how a particular material behaves, what happened during the previous shift, and when an apparently minor…

Designing an AI serving harness built to last
Designing an AI serving harness built to last

The next competitive advantage in enterprise AI has less to do with which model you choose than with what you build around it. That’s an important shift. For the past several years, much of the AI conversation has centered on model capability: bigger models, better reasoning, larger context windows, higher benchmark scores. Those advances have…

The Foundations of Scalable AI
The Foundations of Scalable AI

A scalable AI system requires a strong foundation. Data, engineering, platforms, operating models, and governance must converge to work as one. This session from MIT Technology Review’s EmTech Future conference explores what it takes to build that foundation in a highly regulated environment and how a responsible, trustworthy implementation can turn emerging capabilities, including agentic…

Making the case for context-aware AI

Enterprise AI can generate recommendations, automate tasks, and help organizations make decisions faster. But without an understanding of how a business actually operates, even powerful models can miss the constraints and relationships that determine whether a decision is the right one. As companies look to move AI from experimentation into everyday operations, the challenge ahead…

AI’s hidden storage bill: What inference leaves behind
AI’s hidden storage bill: What inference leaves behind

Ask most executives to picture the cost of AI and they’ll likely see GPUs—racks of accelerators with gigawatts of power—and a waitlist for silicon. But that picture leaves something out: Data storage costs. What happens to data after a model responds? Much of the back-end data that’s generated—from billions of daily prompts, images, and videos—needs…

The new economics of enterprise AI
The new economics of enterprise AI

Imagine your company just discovered electricity. At first only a few machines run on it, and nobody worries about efficiency — consumption is low and the value is obvious. But once electricity becomes infrastructure, every process depends on it, and the question changes from “can we use it?” to “how efficiently are we using it?”…

AI adoption by industry shows what other sectors can learn
AI adoption by industry shows what other sectors can learn

The current narrative around artificial intelligence in the workplace is largely driven by Silicon Valley. But treating the tech sector as an island misses the actual trends in technology adoption–tech is just the first industry in line. As generative AI and automation tools mature, the shifts currently reshaping software engineering and product management will inevitably…

Top BreatheHR alternatives for growing UK businesses
Top BreatheHR alternatives for growing UK businesses

Breathe did its job. For a UK team of fifteen or twenty people stepping off spreadsheets, it’s a tidy, affordable way to track holidays, keep records in order and stay compliant without a heavyweight system. The trouble arrives later. Somewhere between…

HiBob vs BambooHR
HiBob vs BambooHR

I’ve run both of these platforms for real teams, and the HiBob vs BambooHR decision is one I’ve made from the inside. I set BambooHR up for a lean US company that wanted its records and time off in one tidy system within a month, and it did that job we…
