This list celebrates changemakers creating meaningful impact through leadership, innovation, fresh perspectives, transformative mindsets, and lessons that resonate far beyond the workplace.
GE Healthcare has been working on machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence for years, but now the company sees an inflection point where generative AI can transform healthcare from products to workflow to efficiencies that improve the customer experience.
Parminder Bhatia, Chief AI Officer of GE Healthcare, said the emergence of multimodal large language models (LLMs) can uniquely improve healthcare, which is built on everything from different modalities, imaging data, clinical notes, voice interaction, electronic health records and other data.
SupportLogic has been in business since 2016, and has primarily been seen as a tool that helps support leaders drive a more enhanced support experience (or “SX” as the company brands it). This has mostly been achieved by using SupportLogic’s ML and sentiment analysis to extract “signals” from emails and other text-based data inside customer cases to prevent escalations, and provide better agent quality control.
Nvidia launched a NIM Agent Blueprint for cybersecurity as it continues to expand use cases for its microservices and AI agent platform.
At its AI Summit in Washington DC, Nvidia outlined its NIM Agent Blueprint for container security. The cybersecurity NIM Agent Blueprint combines Nvidia's Morpheus cybersecurity AI framework, Nvidia cuVS and Rapids data analytics to accelerate vulnerabilities (CVEs) at scale.
SAP at its TechEd conference delivered its share of AI agent headlines as its Joule generative AI becomes one assistant across its platform, but as a more practical matter more developer options for ABAP and data lake capabilities will have a much larger impact.
The goal for SAP is to move its custom SAP ECC code to S/4 clean code as soon as possible and the company outlined a series of moves to make that happen faster with a big assist from generative AI.
One of Intuit's big bets for the years ahead is to disrupt the mid-market ERP business market with its Intuit Enterprise Suite as it aims to fill a gap between QuickBooks Online Advanced and costly ERP implementations that are required when companies grow.
The company launched the Intuit Enterprise Suite last month as it took its unified platform, powered by Intuit Assist, a common data store, services from its various offerings and generative AI, and took aim at an $89 billion total addressable market for larger, mid-market businesses.
Digital Risk, AI Investment & Conflict Resolution
DisrupTV Episode 377 — Laura Urquizu Barasoain, George Mathew & William Ury
In DisrupTV Episode 377, hosts R “Ray” Wang and Vala Afshar engage with Laura Urquizu Barasoain, CEO & President of Red Points; George Mathew, Managing Director at Insight Partners; and William Ury, author of Possible: How We Survive (and Thrive) in an Age of Conflict.
Constellation analyst Martin Schneider unpacks his latest report, discussing the need for organizations to adapt their growth strategies in the age of AI and emphasizing the importance of the office of the chief growth officer and the role of AI as an enabling technology. He also highlights the need for a modern growth strategy, taking into account the shift from the subscription economy to the retention economy and the post-pandemic economy.
BioNtech's InstaDeep, which was acquired in 2023 for about $682 million, has released a series of foundational generative AI models for proteins and DNA and released them on its DeepChain platform and outlined a supercluster called Kyber.
Accenture has formed a Nvidia Business Group that will deploy agentic AI using Nvidia's full stack. The move puts some systems integrator heft behind Nvidia's software ecosystem.
Nvidia released NVLM 1.0, an open-source large language model family that includes a flagship 72B parameter version NVLM-D-72B.
The effort, detailed in a research paper, means Nvidia is also championing frontier open source LLMs. Previously, Meta and its Llama family of LLMs were leading the open-source model wave.
MongoDB said its MongoDB 8.0 is generally available with throughput optimizations and efficiency enhancements.
At its MongoDB.local London event, MongoDB 8.0 went to GA along with other enhancements to the company's Atlas platform. MongoDB 8.0 is available on AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure through MongoDB Atlas, MongoDB Enterprise Advanced for on-premises users and MongoDB Community Addition.
Cerebras Systems has filed for a US initial public offering, but this alleged Nvidia competitor has multiple risk factors and depends on one UAE-based customer, Group 42 Holding, for 87% of its revenue.
Despite the risk, Wall Street will closely watch Cerebras Systems given a weak IPO market and the need for more competition in the genAI infrastructure market. Cerebras also argued in its IPO filing that it has a more power efficient approach to AI training and inference workloads.
Liquid AI, an MIT spinoff, launched its Liquid Foundation Models (LFM) in three sizes without using the current transformer architecture used by large language models (LLMs) with good performance.
Intuit is operating on one data and AI platform that enables it to select up to 10 large language models for various consumer and business use cases via its Generative AI Operating System (GenOS).
The ability to select multiple large language models (LLMs) gives Intuit the ability to leverage genAI for use cases with a few clicks and build in redundancy. Intuit is looking to leverage a unified data and AI platform to solve customer problems and bring in human experts when needed.
Agentic AI is going to hit sprawl quickly, boardrooms are being reconstituted over fears of being left behind, genAI is still mostly an experiment with fuzzy returns and old-school issues like change management still determine whether companies successfully move from pilot to production.
Those are a few of the takeaways from Constellation Research's AI Forum. Here's a look at everything we learned at the AI Forum in New York.
Five Trends From Capgemini's Business To Planet Event
On September 25th, 2024, Capgemini hosted delegates as part of Climate Week 2024 in New York. Attendees learned how organizations and their leaders have transformed operations, built sustainable supply chains, and applied AI to improve their green strategies.
