How can startups get to grips with AI for the first time?
In the post-COVID corporate space, investment in new technologies has shifted up a gear. To meet a whole host of new needs, organizations have been looking to platforms at the cutting-edge of innovation to support their business requirements – and at the top of this list is artificial intelligence (AI).

Study: Companies using AI and IoT together catapult ahead of competitors using IoT alone Markets Insider
IoT Solutions World Congress -- A recent survey of global business leaders reveals the most significant predictor in realizing value from Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives across an organization is the heavy use of artificial intelligence (AI). Ninety percent of survey respondents heavily using AI in their IoT operations reported exceeding value expectations. The research also showed organizations using IoT with AI appear to be more competitive than IoT-only enterprises by a double-digit margin across a variety of business indicators like employee productivity, innovation and operating costs. "In these results, we are seeing that organizations working with IoT data realize that if they want to get the real value out of the data, they need AI and analytics," said Oliver Schabenberger, Chief Operating Officer at SAS. "I think it is fair to say that most successful IoT operations are actually AIoT operations." AIoT is defined as decision making aided by AI technologies in conjunction with connected IoT sensor, system or product data.

How DBS Bank Became The Best Digital Bank In The World By Becoming Invisible
Every year, financial services magazine Euromoney gives out numerous awards for excellence to firms in many categories, at country, regional, and global levels. The story of its digital transformation is all the more remarkable because one of its goals for its technology – in fact, for the entire bank – is to disappear from view. DBS is a midsized Asian bank with about 22,000 employees, created by the Government of Singapore in 1968 to help modernize the island nation. However, when DBS brought in Paul Cobban, who is now Chief Operating Officer, Technology and Operations for DBS, to spearhead the bank's transformation in 2009, they were far from best – in fact, they were among the worst. Cobban recalls an eye-opening story from his first day at the bank. "I was in a taxi and I mentioned I worked at DBS," Cobban recalls.
