AI Meets The Final Frontier - Can Satellites Really Detect Your Farts?

Manchester: The Phoenix City (With Persistent Panhandlers) After 45 years away, I returned to Manchester for the UK Space Conference, half-expecting to find the same gritty, sun-starved city I remembered from the 1970s.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Chaos

Or: AI Confessions from the Keynote Stage What a difference a year makes. Last week, I found myself on stage at the AI World Congress, delivering a keynote to a room full of people who, twelve months ago, were probably telling anyone who'd listen that AI was going to solve world hunger, cure cancer, and maybe even fix their corporate expense repo

Why Smart Companies Skip Cleaning Data: The AI Secret Your Competitors May Already Know

The digital transformation consultants have sold you a lie. They've convinced executives everywhere that before you can even think about AI, you need to embark on a months-long (or years-long) data cleaning odyssey. Clean everything! Standardize everything! Make it perfect! It's expensive, time-consuming, and worst of all—it's completely backwards...
