Tucked away 150 miles south of mainland Australia, the island state of Tasmania too often is a travel adventure after-thought. Talk about a missed opportunity. Superlatives come easily in “Tassie,” as its 500,000 residents call it, where the world’s tallest flowering trees shelter some of the planet’s oddest mammals.

ESG reporting is a hot mess of overlapping frameworks and standards. Thankfully, help is on the way.

Explainability is a business necessity and can help forestall regulation. Users and regulators are demanding greater transparency from AI systems. AI applications must be able to explain how they make decisions. New AI design principles are helping companies build more transparent algorithms from the start.

Manufacturers transitioning to digital operations face a widening skills gap. Smart factories require a workforce with both expertise in new technologies and an aptitude for teamwork. Personalized training and “snackable” learning content can help companies fill specific skill gaps. Digital transformation in manufacturing—with artificial intelligence, advanced automation and robotics, IoT, and other technologies—is hitting a speed bump.

Stop thinking of AI and ML as puzzle pieces that fit into existing technology but as powerful new tools in their own right. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are primed to make significant contributions to our national defense, but there are some challenges to overcome first. So said Lt.

Medical professionals have been storing personal health information in electronic form for more than a decade, but it is cumbersome for patients to gather disparate computer and paper records scattered across doctors’ offices, hospitals and medical labs.

For nearly two decades, solar energy has been viewed as promising, but a fringe player in the world market for energy. In 2012, photovoltaics supplied a scant one-half of one percent of the world’s energy needs. Two years later, solar supplied one percent of what the globe needed. Now in 2016, it’s providing a mere two percent of global electricity.

What works in the desert won’t last on the northern prairie…. As utility-scale PV grows beyond its traditional sun-soaked environments, developers and EPCs have faced a steep learning curve. Experience gained in the desert doesn’t necessarily translate into designing for the geotechnical and environmental challenges of northern frost, snow loads, and strong winds.

America is starving research scientists of the funds they need to do their groundbreaking work. In response, many of them are preparing to go overseas, which would destroy the innovation economy.
