Will automation and machine learning eliminate human intelligence in IT? #HPEDiscover - SiliconANGLE

In the move toward automation, machine-learning and predictive analytics, many are seeing dark times ahead for the human component of the IT workforce. Others, however, are seeing it as a time for the IT workers to become more powerful than ever before. At the HPE Discover EU event in London, Dana Gardner, president and principal analyst at Interarbor Solutions LLC, and Paul Teich, principal analyst at TIRIAS Research, sat down with Dave Vellante (@dvellante) and Paul Gillin (@pgillin), co-hosts of theCUBE*, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, to talk about the changing state of tech in a variety of areas. In the initial consideration, Teich felt that HPE had been doing "a credible job at trying to simplify their message" and "creating a set of overarching themes for … a bag of parts. They're a huge company; they have a very extensive portfolio. What we haven't seen in previous years is what ties that all together. Trying to be everything to everyone has its limits," he noted.
