The AI revolution: 4 tips to stay competitive
As accessibility to artificial intelligence (AI) has increased, so has its adoption. Over the last two years, more than half of organizations have accelerated their AI rollout, revolutionizing the future of work.
The simplification and commoditization of AI tools have catalyzed harnessing AI’s true potential. Banking institutions have embraced AI to detect and prevent fraud, schools leverage the systems to help students learn faster and alert teachers to problems, and supply chain managers integrate end-to-end solutions to address procurement and distribution challenges.
With some organizations at the start of their implementation journey and others struggling to understand the impact, it’s critical to understand the full breadth and potential the technology holds, especially as it serves as a competitive edge.

7 qualities of a resilient IT culture
Resiliency can make all the difference between a team that struggles with changing priorities and repeated setbacks and one that sails through the unexpected and adapts quickly. This isn’t magic or coincidence – it’s a result of leaders building key characteristics of resilience into the DNA of their IT culture.
“Resiliency is facing challenges and difficult times head-on and coming out the other side stronger. If the past few years have taught us anything, it is that we need to be adaptive, communicative, and willing to challenge the norms of our organizational culture,” says Bill Golden, deputy state treasurer and CIO, NC Department of State Treasurer. “It’s about being able to listen and respond to the ever-changing needs of our customers with a smile and a productive attitude.”

IBM’s AI Accelerator: This Had Better Not Be Just A Science Project
Big Blue was one of the system designers that caught the accelerator bug early and declared rather emphatically that, over the long haul, all kinds of high performance computing would have some sort of acceleration. Meaning, some kind of specialized ASIC to which a CPU would offload its math homework.

CPE at Nest 2022 - Fedora Community Blog
This year the annual Flock to Fedora conference was online again and again it was known as Nest With Fedora. Even with the situation around COVID-19 and without the option to meet others in person, Nest was still an awesome conference with plenty of things to do.

10 essentials to mitigating API security risks
Application programming interfaces (APIs) make connections between systems that enable companies to conduct business. APIs are now one of the most popular ways for applications, microservices, and containers to communicate. They offer a wide range of benefits, including reliable communication and data transfer, streamlined development, easy scalability, and cost-effective re-usability. However, as APIs become more prevalent in the cloud-native landscape, they also leave applications vulnerable to many more security risks.
APIs can expose an application and its data, greatly expanding the attack surface and providing a range of new opportunities for attacks. Since APIs are used for communication and data transfer, an insecure API can expose sensitive customer or corporate data, causing revenue loss and damage to a brand's reputation.

The ultimate CI/CD resource guide | Red Hat Developer
Continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) are development processes making use of automated tools to produce high-quality software.
CI ensures that any code submitted by each developer works together with all other code in the project. Typically, CI works by running regression tests.
CD involves further automation to make sure that the latest accepted versions of a project enter production, and that all the pieces deployed together are compatible.
Numerous tools, such as integrated development environments and version control systems, help you build software. But when it comes to creating software that customers trust—and even love—you need to pay attention to the details. A good CI/CD environment ensures that testing, integration, and deployment are fast, easy, and accurate. CI/CD allows you to iterate faster, build more reliable code, and deliver better customer experiences.
