Software is the new hardware

The enterprise world seems to be poised at an interesting inflections point today . There no longer seems to be anything called as a “ known competitor” or an “ industry adjacency” in enterprise business anymore.

AI-driven Personalizationin Digital MediaPolitical and Societal Implications

whitePaper | December 6, 2019

Machine learning (ML)-driven personalization is fast expanding from social media to the wider information space, encompassing legacy media, multinational conglomerates and digital-native publishers: however, this is happening within a regulatory and oversight vacuum that needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. Mass-scale adoption of personalization in communication has serious implications for human rights, societal resilience and political security. Data protection, privacy and wrongful discrimination, as well as freedom of opinion and of expression, are some of the areas impacted by this technological transformation.

Machine Learning on Arm Cortex-M Microcontrollers

whitePaper | January 20, 2022

Machine learning (ML) algorithms are moving to the IoT edge due to various considerations such as latency, power consumption, cost, network bandwidth, reliability, privacy and security. Hence, there is an increasing interest in developing neural network (NN) solutions to deploy them on low-power edge devices such as the Arm Cortex-M microcontroller systems. To enable that, we present CMSIS-NN, an open-source library of optimized software kernels that maximize the NN performance on Cortex-M cores with minimal memory footprint overhead. We further present methods for NN architecture exploration, using image classification on CIFAR-10 dataset as an example, to develop models that fit on such constrained devices.

Certifying Fairness of AI-Applications An Impossible Task?

whitePaper | January 28, 2022

Since more and more decisions that used to be made by humans are nowadays made either with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or by AI alone, it is essential that the AI algorithms are “fair.” In this whitepaper, we discuss issues surrounding the fairness of AI applications, with a special focus on how it can be assessed independently and subsequently certified. We explain why an AI application cannot be classified – and subsequently certified – as “fair” or “unfair” in a general sense and propose an approach that makes it possible to classify it as “fair” or “unfair” under the (application)-specific definition of fairness.

TOP FIVE WAYS TO PREPARE FOR YOUR NEXT OFFICE 365TENANT MIGRATION

whitePaper | July 31, 2020

With organizations around the world rapidly adopting Office 365, IT pros need to be prepared to perform efficient, effective tenant-to-tenant migrations. Whether you’re undergoing a merger or acquisition, or it’s time to clean up and consolidate your IT infrastructure to drive productivity and growth, a successful migration requires one thing above all else: a tight focus on your users’ needs. In the end, success is not measured by checking off pieces of data moved; it’s about ensuring that everyone remains productive during the project and after migration is complete.
