Congratulations to PT. Indosat Tbk (Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison) and Vikram Sinha on the launch of Sahabat-AI, the first large language model in Bahasa Indonesia aiming to democratise AI as a tool for growth in Indonesia. By creating an AI model that speaks local language and reflects culture, IOH takes a giant leap towards connecting and empowering every Indonesian to position the country at the forefront of AI development. The sophisticated model is capable of understanding and generating more nuanced language than global models and Sahabat-AI translates to “AI friend” in English. Sahabat-AI has been designed to process vast amounts of data using Nvidia AI Enterprise software. As an Nvidia Connect Partner, we at CKDelta are over the moon to shine a light on Nvidia’s work within CKH group companies. Working with IOH is always a privilege and we’ll continue to support with excitement about what’s next! 

Databricks Community Ireland Meetup is back! Join us on Wednesday 4 December at the CKDelta Dublin offices for an evening of presentations and networking. The purpose of the community is to share innovations in all things data, analytics and AI. Register at https://hubs.ly/Q02ZjcQj0.

Unlocking AI to make energy digitalisation a reality was a hot topic at Future of Utilities Smart Energy today where Fernando Ayuso Palacios delivered a presentation on identifying workable AI use cases. His advice? "Start! Avoid analysis paralysis". Don't wait to perfect your AI strategy - you can deliver incremental value quickly while you're finetuning. If you missed the talk and would like advice on how to identify AI use cases, message Fernando or visit https://hubs.ly/Q02YdH5l0. #FoUSmartEnergy24 #energy #utilities #smartenergy #AI #tech

We’re thrilled to announce we’ve joined forces with TCD Computer Science and Statistics to accelerate the real-world impacts of artificial intelligence. Trinity College Dublin stands at the forefront of AI research in Europe with its teams tackling some of the most complex challenges of our time. To date, the school has been granted 51 patents and created 28 new AI products in the last five years. The partnership will see a postdoctoral researcher and a number of PhD students join the formidable data science and data engineering resource at CKDelta focused on using AI and data to solve key challenges for infrastructure businesses.

We'll be at RDS in Dublin on 14 November showcasing how our vast set of alternative data and innovative AI techniques can help you make smarter decisions for an electric future. Send Roger Still or Sagar Nikam a message to arrange a meeting at the show.

We'll be at Future of Utilities: Smart Energy in London next week. From industry leaders to disruptive challengers, the best and brightest will be delivering keynotes, panels and workshops. Fernando Ayuso Palacios will be sharing insights on how to identify workable AI use cases on day two. Find out more 👉 https://hubs.ly/Q02X6vN-0 *Newsflash* We have a limited number of free conference passes we can offer if you work for an energy and gas network or supplier and are not already attending. Send a message if you're interested. #FoUSmartEnergy24

We're thrilled to announce that, together with NWG (Northumbrian Water Group), we've been listed as finalists for the Utility Week Awards. Our Early Warning System (EWS), believed to be an industry-first predictive model, has been recognised in the Innovation Award - Water category. Since implementing EWS, NWG advanced from fourth to first place in CMeX (Customer Measure of Experience set by Ofwat) rankings unlocking a £3 million reward to date. Winners will be announced in London on 3 December so watch this space! #UWA24 #collaboration #innovation

Later this month we'll be at the Energy Networks Association (ENA)'s Energy Innovation Summit. Talk to us about how we're using AI and data to: 🌍enable the transition to net zero ☑️Improve network reliability 🔮predict and manage demand 🙋keep customers and workers safe Find out more at https://hubs.ly/Q02TtqY90 or get in touch to arrange a meeting at Exhibition Centre Liverpool.

Brush up on your AI and data terminology - part two. If you resorting to 'smile and nod' in conversations with your data team more often than you'd like, this is the blog for you. Here Joanna Lenczuk explains some data terms and concepts you can throw into your next conversation. It's easier to achieve the business goals you have in mind when everyone is speaking the same language. Let us know know if you find the glossary useful and any topics you'd like us to cover in future. #HereToHelp #AI #BigData https://hubs.ly/Q02SWFDS0

Around 50,000 businesses already fall within within the scope of CSRD, which requires businesses in Europe to report on a broad range of sustainability topics. In the coming years, more and more businesses will be affected so Sagar Nikam explains what it is and how △Carbon helps with accurate modelling for emissions at scopes 1,2 and 3 in this blog: https://hubs.ly/Q02Rlb620
