TL;DR
Dashboards were built for a world where humans were the throughput constraint.
Decision loops are built for a world where machines are the throughput constraint.
Decision loops expose decision debt, eliminate inconsistency, scale judgment, and create learning systems, which is why Decision Velocity (speed à accuracy à effectiveness) is quickly becoming the new measure of AI ROI and yardstick of AI initiative success.
Dell Technologies said it adding more automation to Nvidia AI Factory deployments using blueprints that automate more than 30 manual steps and can get customers into deployment in as few as 10 clicks.
The news, announced at SC 2025, comes as Dell has landed more than 3,000 customers for its AI factories including Lowe's and Zoho, which uses Dell infrastructure to power its Zia LLMs. Sandisk was also cited as a customer.
Frontline workers are having a moment as their importance in the age of AI grows across multiple sectors, including manufacturing and industrial enterprises, and organizations flatten. With all the talk of digital workers and AI agents taking jobs, frontline workers may wind up mattering more.

In this new episode of DisrupTV, hosts Vala Afshar and R "Ray" Wang dive into the rapidly shifting worlds of AI entrepreneurship, leadership science, and the cultural shift from competition to collaboration. Joined by an exceptional lineup—Ed Addison (NC State University), Dr.
I recently spent a couple of days at Fortinetâs analyst summit in Sunnyvale. The conversations with Fortinetâs executive leadership team felt refreshingly grounded. No forced big-bang announcements. Instead, the focus was on how 25 years of engineering work shaped the companyâs platform and why those choices matter more now as security shifts toward hybrid deployments and AI workloads.
Public sector technology executives laid out a series of takeaways and best practices at the Google Public Sector Summit in Washington, D.C., in October. The takeaways ranged from focusing on your data foundation to use cases for artificial intelligence (AI) agents and the importance of training and human-in-the-loop processes. Here's a tour of what seven public sector technology leaders had to say.
