Many organisations are eroding the foundations of business – productivity, competitiveness, and efficiency. This is happening due to poor implementation of human-AI collaboration, according to cloud data and AI consultancy, Datatonic. The company says in the next phase of enterprise AI, success will come from carefully-governed and designed AI that works alongside humans in “human-in-the-loop (HiTL)’ systems. The company’s research shows that companies that fail to embed AI into their human workflows are falling behind the competition as productivity slows down. Datatonic says a hybrid human-AI approach speeds up decision-making, thus improving overall operations. Scott Eivers, CEO of Datatonic says,…
Charles Proteus Steinmetz was a towering figure in the early decades of electrical engineering, easily the intellectual equal of Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla—men he considered his friends. One of Steinmetz’s most significant achievements was to quantify and characterize the phenomenon of magnetic hysteresis—the behavior of magnetism in materials—and then devise a simple law that allowed for predictable transformer and motor design. He also established a revolutionary framework for analyzing AC circuits, which is still taught today in power engineering. And from 1893, he served as chief consulting engineer at General Electric at a pivotal moment for the young company…

Man @zachxbt hyped up the post like he about to drop a nuclear bomb Most…

Ether has already priced in much of the short-term macro risk and upcoming industry catalysts, setting it up for a period of sideways trading, according to a crypto analyst. “A lot of near-term uncertainty is priced into Ethereum,” Swyftx lead analyst Pav Hundal told Cointelegraph on Thursday.“It would not surprise me at all if ETH remains pretty subdued over the next few weeks.” Hundal added that geopolitical tensions, including escalating issues around Iran, as well as progress on the US CLARITY Act, have largely already been factored into the price.$19 billion liquidation event has weighed on EtherHe argued that Ether (ETH)…
