#GooglePublicSector has just announced we are partnering with Rutgers Business School and Slalom to bring the power of responsible and secure generative AI directly into the classroom. This collaboration gives educators access to a suite of powerful GenAI tools in a single place to discover, customize, and deploy foundation models to increase productivity, improve student outcomes, and more. Through this initiative, students also get hands-on learning experience with GenAI across Rutgers Business School which includes: ✅ New AI-Focused Programs: A dedicated MBA concentration and specialization within the Master of Accountancy program will provide in-depth AI knowledge. ✅ AI Integration Across the Curriculum: Core undergraduate courses will incorporate AI concepts and tools, ensuring a broad and in-depth understanding of the technology. ✅ Hands-on Learning: Students will gain practical experience with AI tools like Google's Gemini, Meta's Llama, and Anthropic's Claude.

CIO's focus on meeting IT sustainability metrics. What they are and how SustainableIT.org is defining EA and Responsible AI Principles that Enterprise Architects can leverage A huge thank you to Rick Pastore (Research Principal) from SustainableIT.org who joined folks tied to IASA CAF’s Boston Chapter, as well as other architects, interested in potentially joining the IASA CAF Sustainable Work Group being stood up in October. Rick gave an overview on CIO’s focus on meeting IT sustainability metrics. He reviewed the work his organization has done on IT Standards for Environmental, Social, Governance and Sustainability as well as highlighted work on EA and Responsible AI principles. Thank you to everyone who participated. We had insightful discussions on the implications of Responsible AI in decarbonization efforts and the crucial role of Enterprise Architecture at the CxO level in fostering sustainable solutions. We also explored the importance of ensuring AI is deployed ethically, with a focus on aligning usage with key business values such as equity, inclusion, transparency, and safety. A personal thank you to the IASA CAF members who joined this rich conversation on the state of sustainability and Responsible AI in the IT industry. News Reminder: Rick will join us in October at our quarterly CAF meeting where he will present detailed findings, and we will discuss the implications to the EA competency to ensure sustainable architectural designs and principles and practices for success and sustainability at Scale with AI. Interested in joining IASA CAF: https://lnkd.in/euZkMZfi Interested in Sustainable Architectures, our official website will launch October, until then you can reach out to me directly on LinkedIn! #CAF #Sustainability #SustainableIT #CIO #EnterpriseArchitecture #ResponsibleAI

Very interesting article on the changing face of AI. The core of this changing approach is that the AI models are being tuned to the specific needs of the industry or domain so they become more contextually aware.

💡#Microsoft banking big on #Copilot with the launch of Agentic workflows. While organizations still try to understand ways to leverage LLMs, albeit cautiously, Microsoft continues to ramp up their R&D at a phenomenal speed with enterprise grade applications. 💡The potential of agents to automate tasks is significantly higher than a stand alone LLM, signalling towards a major layoff trend across many industries with #Dell planning to cut down massive workforce (around 10% of it's sales workforce) amidst the rise of AI technologies... 🛑Tough times ahead? I'm still optimistic but would love to hear your thoughts 💭 https://lnkd.in/dFMw5jM8
