The philosopher: A conversation with Grady Booch
Grady Booch explores the intersection of computing, what it means to be human, and the evolution of intelligence in the 21st century.
What is generative AI? The evolution of artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is already designing microchips and sending us spam, so what's next? Here's how generative AI really works and what to expect now that it's here.
Cloud-based quantum computing lets startups compete with Goliaths
Once out of reach for smaller companies, quantum computing services level the playing field. Providers offer access, development kits, and training at more affordable prices.
Avoiding vendor lock-in and the data gravity trap
One of the primary reasons companies fail to innovate is that they are locked into a specific vendor’s technology. Watch out for these pitfalls.
AI still requires human expertise
AI generates a lot of answers and saves a lot of time, but it’s too often incomplete or untrustworthy.

MLops is the hot new cloud computing career path
Amid the popularity of ChatGPT, MLops spending will surge in 2023 as leaders increase investments in machine learning. Cloud pros should take a look.
Can AI replace cloud architects?
AI systems get more impressive every day. Today’s AI can automate the tasks of many information workers, so those in cloud jobs worry they're next.
Web 3.0 doesn’t need a blockchain revolution
Internet users want control over their data and visibility into how their data is being used. An evolution of today’s web, already mapped out by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, can provide both.
What kind of future will AI bring enterprise IT?
Think of artificial intelligence as a useful tool to help a company take small steps forward, rather than something to supplant people.
Defining a cloud solution by the skills you actually have
Everyone wants top-of-the-line cloud architecture, but many are finding they have to compromise and work with the skills they can find and afford.
Did AI blow up your cloud bill?
Enterprises must balance their interest in artificial intelligence with cloud cost overruns. It's a good time to look at the value cloud-based AI actually brings.
