The Summer of AI?

As we head into the weekend and the start of summer here in the USA, artificial intelligence continues its dominance of the news this week. While I am not surprised, given how hot of a topic it is, I echo Constance's observations from yesterday. I expected to see much more about the conferences that are now underway. Perhaps it is a sign that everyone is too wrapped up in them to write and that a catch-up deluge is coming soon. For now, we will stay in the land of AI and wish you a great weekend.

AI in the Agencies

The churning machine that is the United States Federal government is comprised of a massive array of agencies and individuals that produce an even more massive amount of data. David Curle, Director of Technology and Innovation Platform for Thomson Reuters Legal Executive Institute gives us some excellent insights into how artificial intelligence is being employed to make sense of it all. He writes, "Some agencies are doing state-of-the-art work, while a fair number encounter resource challenges in recruiting the best technologists." Yes, AI has opened a can of worms THAT big.
