Many Duck Creek programs are discovering that the hardest part in modernization begins after go-live. As insurers move into continuous releases, cloud operations, and AI-enabled delivery, the key question is whether the organizations can absorb change at the pace the platform and ecosystem now demand. As insurers move beyond implementation to steady-state operations, the more important issue becomes clear: do insurers have the operating model required to manage continuous change, govern Artificial Intelligence (AI) at scale, and convert platform investment into measurable business outcomes? This shift is fundamentally changing the narrative. What was once a configuration-led transformation is now a…

When it comes to AI models, size matters.Even though some artificial-intelligence experts warn that scaling up large language models (LLMs) is hitting diminishing performance returns, companies are still coming out with ever larger AI tools. Meta’s latest Llama release had a staggering 2 trillion parameters that define the model.As models grow in size, their capabilities increase. But so do the energy demands and the time it takes to run the models, which increases their carbon footprint. To mitigate these issues, people have turned to smaller, less capable models and using lower-precision numbers whenever possible for the model parameters.But there is…

Rogers Communications, Canada’s largest cable and mobile operator, is reportedly preparing to offer voluntary buyouts for about 10,000 eligible employees, or roughly half of its workforce.That move, first reported by The Global and Mail (subscription required), ties into a broader cost-cutting effort, which includes a decision to slash capital spending this year by about 30%. Rogers will make buyout offers to eligible employees across its business units and in corporate function areas. However, on-air talent, Sportsnet employees and Toronto Blue Jays employees and unionized workers will not be eligible, reported CBC News. “We are taking steps to adjust our cost structure to…

This is the first in a series of posts on group-equivariant convolutional neural networks (GCNNs). Today, we keep it short, high-level, and conceptual; examples and implementations will follow. In looking at GCNNs, we are resuming a topic we first wrote about in 2021: Geometric Deep Learning, a principled, math-driven approach to network design that, since then, has only risen in scope and impact. From alchemy to science: Geometric Deep Learning in two minutes In a nutshell, Geometric Deep Learning is all about deriving network structure from two things: the domain, and the task. The posts will go into a lot…

How conversational analytics removes the business intelligence bottleneckCybersecurity companies face a paradox. Their customers keep adding more security tools, expecting more protection. But the data increasingly shows that tool sprawl makes organizations slower to detect and respond to threats. At the same time, AI is accelerating both sides of the equation: giving defenders new capabilities while making it dramatically easier for attackers to operate at scale.For over twenty years, Barracuda has protected organizations from evolving threats with its BarracudaONE cybersecurity platform, which maximizes cyber resilience by unifying protection across email, ,data, networks, applications, and managed XDR. Barracuda uses Databricks for…

We’ve fused 40 years of Cisco expertise with agentic intelligence to help IT leaders move from reactive firefighting to proactive resilience.  The AI era did not arrive with a warning. It arrived mid-cycle, mid-budget, and mid-transformation, landing squarely on infrastructure that was never designed for it. I know this because I lived it. Running a services organization at scale, I watched brilliant engineers spend most of their time on work that should not have existed. Pulling data from dozens of systems before a single customer conversation. Re-explaining environment context to engineers who should have already known it. Responding to outages that had visible…

At Google, our Threat Intelligence teams are dedicated to staying ahead of real-world adversarial activity, proactively monitoring emerging threats before they can impact users. Right now, Indirect Prompt Injection (IPI) is a top priority for the security community, anticipating it as a primary attack vector for adversaries to target and compromise AI agents. But while the danger of IPI is widely discussed, are threat actors actually exploiting this vector today – and if so, how?To answer these questions and to uncover real-world abuse, we initiated a broad sweep of the public web to monitor for known indirect prompt injection patterns.…

Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. With all the news about mostly declining sales of new electric vehicles in the US, there has been an unexpected “silver lining.” That is a steady stream of new public EV charger installations, including many fast chargers. Within the new installation trend, there is more of a “golden lining,” which is new chargers running on clean, renewable electricity. These particular chargers will be fast, and they will be Rivian chargers that run entirely on renewable electricity. “More than 150 chargers will be installed across Caruso properties, rolling out over the…

I want to create my own AppShortcut so I can search for my app and its contents on Spotlight. Currently I have these codes: import AppIntents @available(iOS 16.0, *) struct TransferIntent: AppIntent { static var title = LocalizedStringResource(“Transfer money.”) static var openAppWhenRun = true static var isDiscoverable = true func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ProvidesDialog { NavigationManager.shared.navigate(to: .transferMoney) return .result(dialog: IntentDialog(“Open app to transfer money.”)) } } import AppIntents @available(iOS 16.0, *) struct OmniAppShortcutsProvider: AppShortcutsProvider { @AppShortcutsBuilder static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: TransferIntent(), phrases: [ “Transfer money with \(.applicationName)”, “Kirim uang dengan \(.applicationName)” ], shortTitle:…
