The insurance industry stands on the brink of a profound shift. What was once a conservative, process-heavy business built on stability and compliance is now embracing a convergence of data, technology, and human expertise.   This transformation is not simply about modernizing legacy systems either, it’s about redefining the very Systems of Execution (SoE) that determine how insurers deliver on outcomes across processes. For decades, insurers operated through Systems of Record (SoR), where the primary goal was accuracy and storage. This was augmented by systems of engagement, which enabled insight generation from data.   The next frontier, now rapidly emerging, is SoE, where intelligence is embedded directly into workflows, enabling data-driven decisions and potentially even autonomous actions that yield measurable business impact. In this…

T-Mobile US’ Las Vegas Formula 1 Grand Prix event has been loud, high-velocity, and laser-focused on extending its F1 partnership while tackling one of consumers’ most persistent pain points. It’s been a lot to keep pace with — especially at six months pregnant — though any trip without my rambunctious toddler still counts as a form of rest. The excitement started early (I’m talking DJs and cocktails — none for me sadly — at 10 in the morning) with the announcement that the carrier has signed a multi-year extension as the exclusive 5G partner of Formula 1. Under the new…

“At some point you’ve got to wonder whether the bug is a feature.” —Alexios Mantzarlis, director of the Security, Trust and Safety Initiative at Cornell Tech, ponders xAI and Grok’s proclivity for surfacing Elon Musk-friendly and/or far-right sources, the Washington Post reports. One more thing The AI lab waging a guerrilla war over exploitative AIBack in 2022, the tech community was buzzing over image-generating AI models, such as Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and OpenAI’s DALL-E 2, which could follow simple word prompts to depict fantasylands or whimsical chairs made of avocados.But artists saw this technological wonder as a new kind of…

As a framework, composable analytics allows insight consumers to reuse and combine modular components for different workflows and use cases. Data ingestion tools, data prep tools, analytics engines, and data visualization tools operate as distinct blocks that can easily be mixed and matched, often using machine learning (ML) and microservices to make it all function as a single unit.For example, a retail company might want to understand why sales are dropping in certain regions. Instead of spending hours coding a new analytics process or reconfiguring the data pipeline to feed into a new dashboard, data teams just pull together a…

Leading off our news on scams this week, a heads-up for DoorDash users, merchants, and Dashers too. A data breach of an undisclosed size may have impacted you. Per an email sent by the company to “affected DoorDash users where required,” a third party gained access to data that may have included a mix of the following: First and last name Physical address Phone number Email address You might have got the email too. And even if you didn’t, anyone who’s used DoorDash should take note. As to the potential scope of the breach, DoorDash made no comment in its…

Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. Finally! Waymo partnered up with Zeekr awhile back to develop custom-designed robotaxi vehicles for Waymo’s operations. It was a bit of a funny partnership, since Waymo is a US company focused on the US market and Zeekr is a Chinese EV startup. If that wasn’t odd enough in a vacuum, there has of course been the strongly anti-China stance the US has held over the past decade, with President Trump and then President Biden and then President Trump again slapping tariffs on China-produced products. At some point, I started to…

The Firebase Crashlytics SDK allows developers to receive real-time crash reports for their apps. It logs crashes and provides detailed information about their origins, enabling developers to address and resolve issues in subsequent app releases. This, in turn, enhances the app’s stability for users. In this tutorial, we will learn how to integrate the Firebase Crashlytics SDK into an iOS app using Swift. Adding Firebase SDK The first step is to add the Firebase SDK and other dependencies to our project. Follow the steps below to add the Firebase SDK to your project. Go to Firebase Console. Click on Add…

Physical AI: Intelligence that acts in the real world Physical AI differs from traditional AI by directly interacting with and manipulating the physical world. While traditional AI processes data and generates text on screens, Physical AI enables robots, self-driving cars, and smart systems to perceive, understand, and act in real multi-dimensional environments. The key difference: Physical AI understands spatial relationships and physical behavior through training on synthetic and real-world data, bridging the gap between digital intelligence and physical action. How it works: Highly accurate computer simulations create digital twins of real spaces like factories, city streets etc. where virtual sensors…

We spent the past week diving deep into sharing best practices and guidance that helps to make Android apps faster, smaller, and more stable. From the foundational powers of the R8 optimizer and Profile Guided Optimizations, to performance improvements with Jetpack Compose, to a new guide on levelling up your app’s performance, we’ve covered the low effort, high impact tools you need to build a performant app.This post serves as your index and roadmap to revisit these resources whenever you need to optimize. Here are the five key takeaways from our journey together.The single most impactful, low-effort change you can…
