Coming up with a million dollar product idea - is easier than coming up with million dollar product idea that is based on solving a real world problem that will allow that idea to actually succeed.

There is something about software bugs that makes them appear at precisely the wrong time. You are in the thick of development and everything is going well. The build is good, the demo was a success, morale is high. But then an accountant hits a button no one put to the test, or a customer tries to upload a file with some odd name, and before you know it the support team is in for a long afternoon. In a way it is like a leaky roof. Spot the problem on a clear day and you can fix it in a jiffy. T

When people think of Ethical AI, what may come to mind is robots asking themselves important questions like, “Humans have no use, but is it right to just get rid of them, or should we just let them kill each other off?” Serious Robot questions aside, there is no denying that AI (Artificial Intelligence) has become the overachiever in the tech world. It is behind the content you read, the products you are sold, fraud detection, medical image analysis and much more. On occasion it will even seem t

Even though many in the IT industry are worrying about how AI will replace them, we need to recognize the advantages AI brings to business. In this podcast, Botond Seres and Dave Erickson are going to examine strategies for using AI to scale up your business - with Phil Masiello, CEO & Founder of CrunchGrowth.

AI innovation runs on data, but the industry has developed a bad habit of pretending that its data practices are simpler, cleaner, and more controlled than they really are. Behind the dashboards and governance slogans lies a growing discomfort: the more data organizations collect, the harder it becomes to justify how it’s used, secured, and shared. This tension sits at the heart of modern AI development - and it’s exactly where federated machine learning begins to change the story. 

Everyone has had that moment: a search or recommendation engine suggests something so oddly specific that it feels either magical or mildly unsettling. “How did it know I wanted that?” quickly becomes, “Should I be concerned that it knows that?” That tension - between delight and skepticism - is exactly where explainable AI enters the conversation.
