Russian attack on hospital, shopping center leaves 2 dead as Ukraine braces for fresh offensive

FOX News

Fox News contributor Dan Hoffman joins'Fox & Friends' to discuss Ukraine's claims that Russia has violated the partial ceasefire deal and Putin's threat to Trump over his effort to acquire Greenland. Two people were killed and 35 others were injured after a Russian drone attack struck a military hospital and shopping center in Ukraine late Saturday night, Ukrainian officials say. Regional Gov. Oleh Syniehubov condemned the attack on Kharkiv in a statement on Sunday, saying a 67-year-old man and a 70-year-old woman were killed. The attack comes as Russia's aggression in Ukraine shows no signs of stopping despite efforts by President Donald Trump's administration to speed along peace talks. Ukraine says that many of the casualties were servicemen undergoing treatment at the military hospital.

The fast adoption of new technologies forces companies to continuously adapt their operations making it harder to predict workforce requirements. Several recent studies have attempted to predict the emergence of new roles and skills in the labour market from online job ads. This paper aims to present a novel ontology linking business transformation initiatives to occupations and an approach to automatically populating it by leveraging embeddings extracted from job ads and Wikipedia pages on business transformation and emerging technologies topics. To our knowledge, no previous research explicitly links business transformation initiatives, like the adoption of new technologies or the entry into new markets, to the roles needed. Our approach successfully matches occupations to transformation initiatives under ten different scenarios, five linked to technology adoption and five related to business. This framework presents an innovative approach to guide enterprises and educational institutions on the workforce requirements for specific business transformation initiatives.

Can You Automate Digital Transformation?

#artificialintelligence

I recently attended an event with more than 1,300 delegates from mostly asset-intensive industries and when they were asked how many were involved in digital transformation projects, more than 80% of the room raised their hands. Digital transformation is a key strategic initiative for many organizations, as this Gartner survey highlights. Executives at these organizations realize that digitalization is not an option, but the way to survive and thrive in the years to come. The same Gartner survey explains, "CIOs across most industries are struggling to move from experimentation to scaling their digital business initiatives." I often find that business leaders I talk to are confused about the difference between digitizing and transforming business and processes.
