Opinion Programming languages, prompt engineering and data skills are an important part of the AI future

MEDIA MATRIX Arguably, the greatest danger to the future of AI is AI itself

MEDIA MATRIX AI can’t compete, but, it can enhance and verify storytelling

OPINION Where will AI take the M&E industry? We’re just starting to find out

The engineer Charles Kettering said, "There is a great difference between knowing and understanding: you can know a lot about something and not really understand it."

Perhaps one of the more common complaints I hear is about the inability to present clearly the massive amounts of information that are generated on a daily basis.

Lao Tzu, the father of Taoism, said, "Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge."

Every time we approach solving a problem—no matter in what arena—we are faced with unexpected changes and circumstances that we must adapt to.

In simplest terms the cloud is about accessing resources over a network.

With so many things happening I thought it to be a good time to give an update.

Oftentimes the work of someone looking at a facility can be as much an art as it is a science.

What should also be obvious is that standards are evolving more and more quickly. The average lifespan of a standard is declining.

I'll recount a few random things I saw at IBC2011 in September, in Amsterdam.

I answer some of the more frequent questions I get about service design and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).

Work around Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has progressed a great deal over the last year.

Always seeking simplicity should be a fundamental value in engineering design.
