Testing AI Systems
By Ed Sperling - 15 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

AI is booming. It's coming to a device near you—maybe even inside of you. And AI will be used to design, manufacture and even ship those devices, regardless of what they are, where they are used, or how they are transported. The big questions now are whether these systems work, for how long—and what do those metrics even mean? An AI system, or AI-enhanced system, is supposed to adapt ove... » read more

What AI Is… And Isn’t
By Terry Brewer - 15 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

AI is very good at some things. It may never be good at others. The challenge is figuring out where it can help the most, and then making the cost calculation for how it can be applied. Cost sounds like it should be fairly straightforward, but it isn't. For instance, what is the cost of continuing to doing something the same way if you aren't making necessary changes? Delaying those changes ... » read more

IoT Merging Into Data-Driven Design
By Ed Sperling and Kevin Fogarty - 10 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

The Internet of Things is becoming more difficult to define and utilize for an effective business strategy. While an increasing number devices send data to the cloud or some local server, so much data is being generated and moved around that new strategies are being developed to rethink what needs to be processed where. Back in 2013, when the IoT concept really began taking off, connectivity... » read more
