CDAOs might be key to genAI success now — but that could change – Computerworld
After years of being focused primarily on data — not employee — management, surveys show CDOs often lack the skills to tackle the cultural challenges critical to a data-driven culture, Davenport said. “Surveys of CDOs also suggest that their jobs are less well understood than other C-level executives,” he added. In one recent article, Davenport argued there are too many…

GenAI companies go granular with open-source models for agents – Computerworld
Service providers are adopting open-source AI models for several reasons, including flexibility, customization, smaller footprints, and lower computing costs. Microsoft is building an ensemble of small-footprint AI tools that will include open-source AI models for Microsoft 365 that will work offline, said Aparna Chennapragada, Microsoft’s chief product officer of experiences and devices. These smaller models are aimed at offline users…

Q&A: Ernst & Young exec details the good, bad and future of genAI deployments
Betting that generative artificial intelligence (genAI) is top of mind for every IT manager and corporate executive would be a smart move. An equally smart take would be to realize that most organizations still remain reticent to fully embrace the technology and its automation capabilities. Given the AI hallucinations, output errors, organizational data fragmentation and a lack of skilled IT…

Will genAI businesses crash and burn? – Computerworld
I don’t know about you, but I’m already tired of all the generative AI (genAI) hype. I’ve been using the technology for a while now, and I’ve found ways it can be helpful — primarily as a search engine replacement — but it’s not everything it’s supposed to be. This isn’t just cranky, cynical old me. In a recent IBM…

Smaller, domain-specific genAI models are the future – Computerworld
As well as being simpler to deploy and customize, smaller AI models are as much as 30 times less expensive to run than more conventional LLMs, he said. Just as the cost of storage and computing have dropped dramatically since the 1990s, AI technology will also become significantly cheaper over time, Krishna said. “As that happens, you can throw [AI]…

Hello, Flipper! Google has developed a genAI model to talk to dolphins – Computerworld
Google has unveiled a new generative AI (genAI) model, Dolphin Gemma, which will attempt to decode how dolphins communicate with each other. Dolphins are among the most intelligent animals on the planet and communicate partly through whistles and calls. However, it is still unknown whether dolphins have an actual language. Google is hoping Dolphin Gemma can help to clarify that.…

GenAI isn’t yet ready for prime time – Computerworld
How have you approached training your employees? What percentage of your workers have been trained on AI? “You can think of it as like concentric circles. We have a relatively small group of researchers who are super deep in generative AI, machine learning and all of that. And then we have a set of users that are in our product…

Google to add on-demand genAI data analyst to Workspace – Computerworld
Users can, for example, automate a stream of jobs involved in document reviews, customer support requests, or product analysis. One such use case: Workspace Flows can approve branding copy by referring to a collection of marketing data. Or it can handle customer service requests by referring to support documents. “A lot of the work we do today requires context and…
