Power grids are moving towards 100% renewable energy source bulk power grids, and the overall dynamics of power system operations and electricity markets are changing. The electricity markets are not only dispatching resources economically but also taking into account various controllable actions like renewable curtailment, transmission congestion mitigation, and energy storage optimization to ensure grid reliability. As a result, price formations in electricity markets have become quite complex. Traditional root cause analysis and statistical approaches are rendered inapplicable to analyze and infer the main drivers behind price formation in the modern grid and markets with variable renewable energy (VRE). In this paper, we propose a machine learning-based analysis framework to deconstruct the primary drivers for price spike events in modern electricity markets with high renewable energy. The outcomes can be utilized for various critical aspects of market design, renewable dispatch and curtailment, operations, and cyber-security applications. The framework can be applied to any ISO or market data; however, in this paper, it is applied to open-source publicly available datasets from California Independent System Operator (CAISO) and ISO New England (ISO-NE).

Many of the biggest technology headlines in 2022 were about artificial intelligence (AI). Commercial and enterprise applications of generative AI such as ChatGPT are already making a big splash in 2023, but what about the retail industry? Here, the impact of AI is likely to widen and deepen this year. AI in particular may have an outsized impact on physical stores. It can be easy to forget that, amidst all the talk about e-commerce, most people still do the vast majority of their shopping in bricks and mortar stores.

Emmanuelle Rivet, Vice Chair, and US TMT & Global Technology Leader, at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), has over 26 years of experience advising public and private tech companies on complex transactions from M&A and equity or debt offerings to system implementation and operations transformation for scale and compliance. Emmanuelle is focused on helping diverse teams deliver tailored solutions, and places unique client needs first. Emmanuelle chats with us about the metaverse, what trends are emerging, the predicted growth in global spending on VR, how the metaverse will change business and consumer interactions, key drivers for the market, and tons more. Rivet: A surprising discovery from the data is that despite serious economic headwinds and after suffering a sharp decline in 2020 (-18.8%), the U.S. B2B segment of the market grew 7.9% in 2021 and is expected to grow by 13.7% in 2022. Revenue forecasts have the market on track to exceed pre-pandemic levels by 2023.

The Digital era has been a boon to the industry. But pharma manufacturers deal with increasingly complex challenges in this digital era. Pharma manufacturers need a holistic approach to increase quality, safety, transparency, agility, and productivity. Pharma 4.0TM, a term coined by ISPE (International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering) is a concept adopted from Industry 4.0. The concept aims to bring in an interactive system, analytical data, advanced automation, and a simplified regulatory framework.

As technology continues to take center stage as a vital differentiator for businesses, new tech trends for 2022 are beginning to emerge. The majority of these patterns are a reflection of the changing environment. As a result of a series of worldwide lockdowns, a universe of possibilities has opened up around virtual experiences and digital interactions. The growing urgency surrounding human and natural resource scarcity has prompted the creation of technologies that are efficient and long-lasting. These emerging trends are part of a larger shift in the web's focus toward Web 3.0.

OTP Bank has selected SambaNova Systems to help build Europe's fastest AI Supercomputer, positioning OTP Group and the Ministry for Innovation and Technology (MIT) of Hungary as European leaders in the modern day space race to a post AI business. The partnership and plan is to create the fastest AI supercomputer in Europe in the coming 100 days in an attempt to leapfrog both Wall Street and Western European competitors in the AI race. OTP Bank is looking to produce an AI system to be used for national research. This research will help to aid the private and public sectors, as well as higher education across all of Central and Eastern Europe in cooperation with the ITM of Hungary. When speaking to Co-founder and CEO of SambaNova Systems, Rodrigo Liang, alongside Marshall Choy, Senior Vice President and Head of Product at SambaNova Systems, it became easier to understand the scale of the project at hand.

If we are not actively engaged in industries related to technology, we may fail to fully appreciate how we might already be influenced by artificial intelligence in our day-to-day world. Everyone is talking about self-driving cars, seemingly inanimate objects conversing with you about your personal preferences, someone somewhere already seems to recommend your shopping list armed with the knowledge of what you like or dislike. From the viewpoint of the business world, all companies today are looking to adopt AI in some form or the other to improve business processes, achieve efficiency, so on and so forth. I recently read an article about Softbank's Masayoshi Son and his vision "for an AI-powered utopia where machines control how we live". While this may sound like an unreal possibility, one could relate to this thought better if one were to ponder over David Fano's (Chief Growth Officer, WeWork) words, "Basically, every object will have the potential to be a computer".

The previous year has shown us that you have to be prepared for both expected and unexpected disruption, emerging risks, and economic uncertainties. Your business models and operations, employees and technology have to be agile and resilient. New business risks are everywhere. What challenges can organizations expect in the emerging and evolving risk landscape, and how can they overcome them? Ronald van Loon is a Protiviti partner, and recently had the opportunity to examine their study, conducted jointly with North Carolina State University Poole College of Management's Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Initiative, on Executive Perspectives on Top Risks:2021 and 2030 and share his outlook regarding the shifting risk landscape and its impact on modern organizations.
