In early 2024, Brazil experienced heavy rainfall, particularly in the south and northeast regions, leading to floods that damaged cities, destroyed crops, and caused fatalities. As climate change increases the frequency of extreme weather conditions, such as droughts and floods, contingency planning and risk assessment are becoming increasingly crucial for managing such events.

Amazon’s plans to power its U.S. data centers with nuclear energy have run into a significant hurdle. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) rejected a deal that would have allowed Amazon to draw more power from the Susquehanna nuclear plant in Pennsylvania. The proposed amendment would have increased the co-located load from 300 to 480 MW, a move that regulators argued could jeopardize grid reliability and potentially increase energy costs for other users.

Neural contextual biasing allows speech recognition models to leverage contextually relevant information, leading to improved transcription accuracy. However, the biasing mechanism is typically based on a cross-attention module between the audio and a catalogue of biasing entries, which means computational complexity can pose severe practical limitations on the size of the biasing catalogue and consequently on accuracy improvements.

There’s a lot of noise surrounding the ability of AI agents to connect to your tools, systems and data. But building an AI application into a reliable, secure workflow agent isn’t as simple as plugging in an API. As an engineering leader, it can be challenging to make sense of this evolving landscape, but agent tooling provides such high value that it’s critical we figure out how to move forward.

Follow-up conversations with virtual assistants (VAs) enable a user to seamlessly interact with a VA without the need to repeatedly invoke it using a keyword (after the first query). Therefore, accurate Device-Directed Speech Detection (DDSD) from the follow-up queries is critical for enabling naturalistic user experience.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.
