ISG Podcasts Reflect on Most Impactful Tech of 2019
STAMFORD, Conn., Jan. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Industry experts reflect on some of the most impactful technologies of the past year—including blockchain, artificial intelligence and 5G networks—in the latest episodes of the ISG Smartalks™ podcast series from Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.
ISG Smartalks™ Podcast Episode 10: Celebrating Technology in all its Guises features ISG Digital Strategy and Solutions Partners Barry Matthews and Bryn Barlow, along with Director Eleanor Winn, reflecting on the concepts covered in the 10 episodes of the ISG Smartalks™ podcast series produced in 2019, and discussing the technologies that have had the most personal and professional influence on them.
“Over the course of the series, the ISG Smartalks podcasts have informed, entertained and inspired listeners,” Matthews said. “We’ve drawn on experts from a variety of industries and backgrounds, found our favorite technology gadgets, identified some heroes, pointed fingers at technologies that under-delivered, and made predictions about what will have the greatest effect on business over the next 10 years.”
In ISG Smartalks™ Podcast Episode 9: Blockchain – Disrupter or Distracter?, Matthews interviews eminent blockchain thought leaders Alex Manders, director and leader of ISG Blockchain Now™, and Muneeb Shah, regional practice manager and blockchain partner at Wipro, to define blockchain for the uninitiated and explore how it underpins the existence of cryptocurrencies. “Blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt nearly every industry—from banking and financial services to energy and utilities, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and agriculture,” Matthews said. “Our discussion covers blockchain’s massive impact on cross-industry supply chains, where it helps track and trace goods from their provenance to the point of sale in previously unimagined ways, and looks at how the interoperability between two or more blockchains will transform industries and the global economy as a whole.”
Matthews interviews four leading automation experts in ISG Smartalks™ Podcast Episode 8: Expert Views from Automation’s Front Lines for their insights on automation’s impact on business over the next decade.
In this episode, Professor Leslie Willcocks of the London School of Economics dismisses the idea that RPA will merely “patch” the old world of business tech, but instead will allow enterprises that focus on technological convergence to separate themselves from their competitors. Craig Jones, partner in advisor relations for Wipro, predicts more businesses will move to cognitive AI, leading to huge efficiencies, as long as they have the right data and structures in place. Sajesh Gopinath, general manager of UST Global, believes enterprises that have automated systems to orchestrate processes and information will become market leaders, and Serkan Ibrahim, sales director of IPSoft, predicts a convergence of capabilities and vendors in the automation market, and says RPA remains the best gateway to digital transformation.
The ISG Smartalks series features a different guest each episode, and examines the impact on business of some of today’s most challenging industry issues and disruptive technologies, such as artificial intelligence, robotic process automation, security, the future of work, trends in sourcing, Agile and DevOps, the platform economy, fostering innovation and 5G. Guests include leading tech visionaries, subject-matter experts and industry analysts discussing the latest market trends, forecasts and business applications of digital technology.

Tech Companies Leading the Charge in the Transformative AI Era
![tech-companies-leading-the-charge-in-the-transformative-ai-era](https://roboticulized.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/150825-tech-companies-leading-the-charge-in-the-transformative-ai-era.png)
USA News Group Commentary
Issued on behalf of Avant Technologies Inc.
VANCOUVER, BC, June 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — USA News Group – The world is changing rapidly thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), with what’s being called the Transformative AI era which comes with great benefits and also potential dangers. The economic impacts are global, with a new report from The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) urging central banks to adapt rapidly to AI advances. Now it’s become apparent how important it is for companies to understand how to harness the full potential of GenAI to secure strategic revenue growth in the coming years. The surge of AI’s usefulness is accelerating innovation in R&D, while behind the scenes tech companies are advancing the infrastructure required to keep this revolution going, including new developments from Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI), Accenture plc (NYSE: ACN), Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL), and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN).
Known for pioneering advancements in AI, Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI) has persistently refined and expanded its premier offering, Avant AI™. This sophisticated AI platform, celebrated for its machine learning and deep learning capabilities, is the culmination of Avant’s efforts to deliver unprecedented and cost-effective compute infrastructure that unlocks the full potential of AI and ushers in a new era of technological advancement.
“There is a real unmet need as rapid growth across the entirety of the AI and big data industries is outpacing the necessary infrastructure for an industry that demands exponential power and capacity while remaining cost effective,” said Avant’s CEO William Hisey in a recent address of progress on AI supercomputer-driven data centers. “Avant’s ‘edge-native’ approach doesn’t rely on cloud-based services so we can offer AI and big data companies many advantages over the more familiar ‘cloud-native’ approach, including, reduced latency, improved security and privacy, increased scalability, and reduced costs.”
In a recent strategic development, Avant entered into a Binding Letter of Intent (BLOI) with Flow Wave, LLC (FW), a prominent Florida-based firm specializing in immersible computer server technology. This agreement allows Avant to acquire up to 50 cutting-edge immersible computer servers from FW, in a transaction valued at $50 million.
“By integrating proprietary machine learning algorithms with open-source innovations into these servers, Avant is developing a highly intelligent system designed to optimize resource allocation, enhance performance, and drive unprecedented levels of efficiency and automation,” said Hisey. “This marks the beginning of a new era for Avant Technologies, positioning us at the forefront of the supercomputer-driven data center industry and setting new standards for managing and storing AI applications.”
Flow Wave Immersible AI Supercomputer Servers are engineered for demanding AI and machine learning applications, delivering powerful processing capabilities that accelerate data analysis. Their cutting-edge cooling system is both energy-efficient and cost-effective, reducing environmental impact. These servers’ compact design facilitates easy installation in space-constrained data centers, and their robust construction ensures longevity and lower maintenance requirements.
In response to digital era challenges, Avant intends to acquire up to 50 of these high-performance servers. Their superior cooling technology boosts performance while conserving energy, aligning with Avant’s goal of providing top-tier AI infrastructure and maximizing efficiency. Additional details about the acquisition will be shared once the final agreement is secured.
In Q3 2024, Accenture plc (NYSE: ACN) brought in over $900 million in new Generative AI bookings, for a total of $2 billion fiscal year-to-date. Despite missing its overall earnings targets, the market responded by sending its shares upward.
“We achieved strong new bookings of over $21 billion, up 22% over last year, and continued to accelerate our strategy to be the reinvention partner of choice, with another 23 clients with quarterly bookings of over $100 million, bringing the total of such bookings to 92 year-to-date,” said Julie Sweet, Chair and CEO of Accenture. “We also achieved two significant milestones this quarter — with $2 billion in Generative AI sales year-to-date and $500 million in revenue year-to-date — which demonstrate our early lead in this critical technology.”
Back in May, Accenture took steps to help its clients to scale their Generative AI responsibly.
“Clients are eager to embrace the potential of generative AI, and we are ready to help them build responsible AI into every use,” said Sweet. “We do this for ourselves, and we can use that example to help our clients find success faster. Our focus is to enable our clients to innovate AI safely and be ready to seize the opportunities that AI will bring in the decades ahead.”
Recently, the cloud-based security solution provider Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET) unveiled the general availability of its AI Gateway platform. Marketed as a comprehensive interface for managing and scaling generative AI workloads, the platform has transitioned from its beta phase, which started in September 2023, to full client use after successfully handling over 500 million requests.
This launch coincides with Cloudflare’s announcement of a partnership with Hugging Face, a leading platform for AI developers. The collaboration offers a one-click global deployment for AI applications via the Workers AI platform, now also generally available. As the first serverless inference partner integrated on the Hugging Face Hub, this allows developers to deploy AI models quickly, easily, and cost-effectively on a global scale, without the need for managing infrastructure or paying for unused compute capacity.
“Workers AI is one of the most affordable and accessible solutions to run inference,” said Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder, Cloudflare. “With Hugging Face and Cloudflare both deeply aligned in our efforts to democratize AI in a simple, affordable way, we’re giving developers the freedom and agility to choose a model and scale their AI apps from zero to global in an instant.”
In the education space, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL) through Google, is bringing new AI tools to Google Workspace for teen students using their school accounts to help them learn responsibly and confidently in an AI-first future, and empowering educators with new tools to help create great learning experiences.
“In the coming months, we’re making Gemini available to teen students that meet our minimum age requirements while using their Google Workspace for Education accounts in English in over 100 countries around the world, free of charge for all education institutions,” said Google in a blog post. “To ensure schools are always in control, Gemini will be off by default for teens until admins choose to turn it on as an Additional Service in the Admin console.”
Google has also developed a number of resources and trainings to help students, parents and educators use generative AI tools responsibly and effectively, including a video on how teens can responsibly use AI while learning.
After recently hitting a $2-trillion valuation, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) continues to be a big player in the AI space. Now it’s reportedly working on its own AI chatbot that some say might be smarter than ChatGPT, named Metis, which will generate answers by grabbing info from the internet.
Metis is driven by an internal Amazon AI model known as Olympus, drawing inspiration from Greek mythology. According to sources, Olympus is a more advanced version of Amazon’s publicly available Titan model.
Amazon’s CEO Andy Jassy has noted that nearly every division within the company is engaged in some form of AI project. As a pioneer in cloud computing, Amazon has been developing machine learning, a subset of AI, for many years. Jassy recently announced that Amazon’s AI initiatives are projected to generate over $1 billion in annual revenue, with expectations of driving “tens of billions of dollars” in sales in the coming years.
However, Amazon has lagged in the realm of consumer AI assistants. An internal document from last year highlighted that Amazon “does not have a publicly or internally available product that looks and works exactly like ChatGPT.”
According to a source reported by Business Insider, the tentative launch date for Metis is September, right around the time when Amazon is set to host a big Alexa event, although the timeline could still change.
