AI tooling continues to expand with specialized solutions for every step of the development process. For data scientists and engineers, this creates a paradox: more options but potentially more complexity and integration challenges. How do you determine which tools actually improve productivity versus adding unnecessary overhead? Should you prioritize flexibility with individual best-of-breed components or streamline with integrated platforms? What's the most effective way to bridge the gap between experimentation and production-ready AI applications? William Falcon is an AI researcher and the CEO of Lightning AI. He is the creator of PyTorch Lightning, a lightweight framework designed for training models of any size. As the founder of Lightning AI, he leads the development of Lightning AI Studios and the AI Hub. Falcon also shares his expertise in AI research and machine learning engineering through educational content on YouTube and X (formerly Twitter). He is passionate about leveraging AI for social impact. In the episode, Richie and William explore the NY AI hub, the journey from AI idea to production, diverse perspectives in AI development, how Lightning AI simplifies AI workflows, the significance of open-source models, and much more.

The increased risks of recession and signs of significant disruptions in the goods market have likely played a role in getting the US to back off its draconian trade war policies, culminating this week in a substantial markdown in the tariff on China. We  no longer see a US recession as likely but still see growth being weak over the rest of the year and also note downside risks if the trade war re-escalates.

Some people speculate that AI will make software and data engineers obsolete. If the only thing engineers do is write code, sure.

But we do a lot more than that, and I believe we'll actually need more engineers, not fewer.

In this episode, I discuss how I think AI will change the craft of software and data engineering. Spoiler - I think it will make it way more fun and productive.

In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster speaks with Colin Zima, CEO and Co-founder of Omni, a modern business intelligence platform that combines the best of governance and usability. With a background spanning roles at Looker and Google, and two decades as both a data user and builder, Colin brings a unique perspective on the evolution of BI and the real role of AI in shaping its future. They explore why business intelligence remains critical for aligning organisations, how AI is raising the bar for access and self-service, and why semantics and business logic are more important than ever. The conversation challenges the notion that AI will replace dashboards, and instead focuses on how it can enhance accessibility, support different user needs, and empower data teams to work more efficiently. This episode is essential listening for business and data leaders thinking about the future of BI, the practical use of AI, and the role data teams play in delivering real value at speed. Tune in to hear how modern BI is evolving, and what leaders need to know to stay ahead. ****    Cynozure is a leading data, analytics and AI company that helps organisations to reach their data potential.

Vendors are flavoring their messaging and products with AI. But does this work for you as you need it to? What if a non-AI vendor brings it in? Are you comfortable with the unknown scenarios or is more clarity needed? Can you rely on AI Act compliance? Attendees share best practice preparations and how to increase resilience on vendor AI risk. Spoiler: you may have already done a lot.

Explaining AI models and their outputs to non-technical stakeholders can be challenging due to their complexity or business expectations. This decreases the trust and adoption of models in production. This session will discuss a few practices that can help D&A professionals enhance explainability and trust in model predictions, facilitating responsible and ethical use of AI across various domains.

Gartner's Hype Cycle for AI provides a snapshot of current AI trends and innovations mapped against their real-world applications and potential for impact in the enterprise. Find out more about how to use the Hype Cycle to track technologies and more details on individual elements that are at the innovation trigger, climbing to the peak, on their way down or have reached the plateau.

Agentic systems have become a reality. However, many IT leaders are uncertain about how they will evolve or how they can be used to gain advantage. Join this session to explore the evolution of AI agents, from simple agents to autonomous multi-agent systems.

For over a decade, we have sought a holistic, unifying theory of data management. This presentation documents the quest, and touches on the data and analytics infrastructure model (DAIM), metadata, data fabric, data ecosystems, and FinOps. Each of these is required and together they address everything from infrastructure to AI to strategy communications.

This presentation of Gartner's top D&A predictions for 2024 guides data and analytics leaders as they plan for the impact of AI on all aspects of data and analytics, including leadership, governance, talent, market, and the need for AI-ready data and a FinAI competency for value realization.

AI initiatives often stall when data teams can’t keep up with business demand for fast, self-service data. Whether it’s AI agents, BI tools, or business users—everyone needs data, but the pipeline-centric modern data stack wasn’t built for this kind of agility. In this session, learn about how an Instant Data Fabric enables data teams for self-service at AI scale by instantly generating contextual Data Answers from distributed enterprise data for consumption by business teams. Discover how leading organizations are using this new data architecture to accelerate AI adoption without comprising governance and control.

GenAI systems are evolving beyond basic information retrieval and question answering, becoming sophisticated agents capable of managing multi-turn dialogues and executing complex, multi-step tasks autonomously. However, reliably evaluating and systematically improving their performance remains challenging. In this session, we'll explore methods for assessing the behavior of LLM-driven agentic systems, highlighting techniques and showcasing actionable insights to identify performance bottlenecks and to creating better-aligned, more reliable agentic AI systems.

As we enter a new era of productivity, automation isn’t about armies of robots—it’s about enabling better decisions through algorithms. For knowledge workers, the true transformation is human-centric.
While generative AI and robotics capture headlines, the real foundation of successful automation is high-quality, well-governed data. Without it, your AI initiatives will stall, and your brand could suffer.
Join Soda and LexisNexis Risk Solutions to explore how empowering your people with data governance, observability, and literacy is the key to unlocking the full potential of agents and GenAI.

How does a tiny worm coordinate complex escape behaviour? In this episode, we dive into how the neurotransmitter tyramine triggers rapid, coordinated escape in Caenorhabditis elegans. Researchers uncovered that tyramine activates a newly discovered tyramine-gated chloride channel, LGC-55, which suppresses head movements and promotes sustained backward locomotion after anterior touch.

We explore:

How tyramine acts as a classical inhibitory neurotransmitter in C. elegans The critical role of LGC-55 in controlling head movement and reversal length during escapes Why tyramine’s control of multiple motor outputs is vital to escaping predatory fungi How tyramine reshapes neural network dynamics to bias the worm toward rapid retreat

📖 Based on the research article: “A Tyramine-Gated Chloride Channel Coordinates Distinct Motor Programs of a Caenorhabditis elegans Escape Response” Jennifer K. Pirri, Adam D. McPherson, Jamie L. Donnelly, Michael M. Francis & Mark J. Alkema. Published in Neuron (2009). 🔗 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2009.04.013
