This week, our North America Client Innovation Centers have been hosting events as part of the WatsonX Challenge. Across IBM nearly 180,000 IBMers worldwide have come together to explore the transformative potential of #GenerativeAI. As we have transitioned from the experimentation phase to deep implementation, we're taking the next step in identifying, developing, and implementing additional real-world use cases where AI can accelerate work. I'm excited to apply the insights gained in the Client Innovation Centers and continue to drive rapid innovation and collaboration. Just for fun, take a moment to enjoy this poem generated by WatsonX and edited by myself and Lynn Rae Wentworth In CIC halls, where code is king A new era dawns, with a watsonX ring A fusion of man and machine's might Where intelligence and wonder take flight With every prompt, a story's spun Of data woven, like a digital sun A tapestry of knowledge, vast and wide Where insights bloom, and wisdom resides In this realm of watsonX design The boundaries blur, between human and machine's line Where creativity and logic entwine To craft a future, of endless rhyme With watsonx last year we could clearly see The CIC was the place to be in 2023 And one year later we have much more instore As we deliver more in 2024 In this realm of watsonX might The possibilities, shine like a beacon in flight Where humanity and tech entwine To forge a future, of endless shine With every step, a path is paved For innovation's journey, forever made Where CIC wisdom guides the way Exciting tomorrow, as we deliver more today #GoTeam #GenerativeAI #WatsonX #ClientInnovationCenters #Innovation #AI #Collaboration #FutureOfWork #CICweReady #letscreate Dean Schlotterer Sherron Veal Terrie Johnson Kerry McGuire Eric Pagé Raafat Majdoub Christine Bartlett Jay Goodwyn Sonyetta Grayson Anderson Santosh Prasad jananee subburaj Solhyon Baek Emmanuel Ikpo.

If you aren't aware of Constellation Research, Inc., they are an impressive group of individuals led by R "Ray" Wang. One of their senior analysts, Doug Henschen delivered this report following Teradata's Possible User Conference last month. Doug summarizes the advancements as follows; "Teradata has given customers flexible options via ClearScape Analytics Bring Your Own-LLM and VantageCloud Lake GPU Accelerated Compute. Constellation sees these options as delivering the following benefits: Choice, Flexibility, Security, and Value" I encourage you to read the report here. https://lnkd.in/gy5Xs_cA #value #AI #GenAI

Top tips from what I'm reading on AI Observability at the moment: 1) Monitoring is reactive ☢️ (nae radio active), requiring you to predefine metrics, whereas Observability 🔮 is exploratory in nature and doesn't require you to predict what your failure modes might be. 2) High dimensionality 🧑💻 is important for Observability as you need to explore your system dimensions to ask pertinent questions about its state. 3) High cardinality 💃(uniqueness of data) is essential to answer targeted questions about the state of a system. For example, if you notice that AI system latency spikes and want to query which users are affected so that you can let users know that you're on top of things, you'd need to identify the spikes, which customers they occurred for and other unique elements that help identify the root cause. Low cardinality would make it difficult to identify unique characteristics leading to the root cause.

A notable quote from this WSJ article by AlixPartners CEO Simon Freakley says it all, "If I have a point of view, personally, it would be that it’s not the people with the best large language models who will win, it’s the people with the best data sets that will win." Great data sets come from effective data augmentation. Ideal data augmentations come from the ability to generate high-quality synthetic data.
