Some might call this futurism; let’s just say it’s connecting the dots
Many conversations have a technical focus. Most also examine business perspectives and use cases, while others are socio-technical.
Some are analyses on emerging themes – picking them up early, featuring expert comment, or offering alternative takes.
Others cover breaking news, typically also featuring the people behind them plus some analysis. There are some book reviews as well.
I focus on the connection between data, analytics, data science, graphs, machine learning and AI and their impact on society and business.
I have been covering topics related to:
AI and Machine LearningData, Analytics and Data ScienceKnowledge Graphs, Graph Databases, Graph AI & Data ScienceInnovation, and a wide array of technologies such as Blockchain, Cloud, Observability, IoT, Open Data and Open Source, Social Media and Software Engineering.

Trustworthy AI: How to ensure trust and ethics in AI. Featuring Beena Ammanath, Executive Director of the Global Deloitte AI Institute
A pragmatic and direct approach to ethics and trust in artificial intelligence (AI) — who would not want that? This is how Beena Ammanath describes her new book "Trustworthy AI.”
Ammanath is the executive director of the Global Deloitte AI Institute and is well-qualified to write a book on trustworthy AI. She has had stints at GE, HPE and Bank of America in roles such as vice president of data science and innovation, and CTO of artificial intelligence as well as lead of data and analytics.
Ammanath said part of her motivation to write the book was her desire to help organizations start off with ethics and trust in AI on the right foot and another part was her frustration with existing approaches to AI Ethics.

Lexmark wants to lead by example in IoT, unveils Optra Edge platform. Featuring Vishal Gupta, Lexmark SVP of connected technology / CITO
Arguably, two of the most iconic examples of digital transformation are Kodak and Amazon. Kodak failed to keep with the times, leading to the demise of a once dominant commercial empire. Amazon, however, had the foresight to not just “stay in its lane,” but step out and shape the world’s digital infrastructure with AWS.
Now, Lexmark, is taking note of Kodak’s failure and Amazon’s success and piloting into its own. Moving beyond printers, supplies and accessories — which is how Lexmark first made a name for itself — the company’s current motto seems to be “Print, secure and manage your information.”
In 2022, Lexmark lists Print and Capture as just two of its solutions, which also include Cloud, Security and IoT. The Lexmark Optra IoT Platform, unveiled September, is featured prominently on the company’s site.
Today, the company is unveiling Optra Edge, the latest addition to its Optra IoT solutions portfolio. Vishal Gupta, Lexmark’s senior VP of connected technology, CTO and CIO, says the company’s new tools and move into IoT are just the beginning.

The next 10 years in AI: From bits to things, from big data in the lab to expert knowledge in the field. Featuring Landing AI Founder Andrew Ng
Did you ever feel you've had enough of your current line of work, and wanted to shift gears? If you have, you're definitely not alone.
Besides the Great Resignation, however, there are also less radical approaches, like the one Andrew Ng is taking.
Ng is among the most prominent figures in AI. Founder of deeplearning.ai, Co-Chairman and Co-Founder of Coursera, and Adjunct Professor at Stanford University. He was also Chief Scientist at Baidu Inc., and Founder & Lead for the Google Brain Project.
Yet, his current priority has shifted -- from bits to things, as he puts it.
Andrew Ng is also the Founder & CEO of Landing AI, a startup working on facilitating the adoption of AI in manufacturing since 2017. This effort has apparently contributed in shaping Ng's perception of what it takes to get AI to work beyond Big Tech, in what he calls the data-centric approach.
We connected with Ng to discuss the data-centric approach to AI, and how it relates to his work with Landing AI and the big picture of AI today.
