As a library developer, you may create a popular utility that hundreds of thousands of developers rely on daily, such as lodash or React. Over time, usage patterns might emerge that go beyond your initial design. When this happens, you may need to extend an API by adding parameters or modifying function signatures to fix edge cases. The challenge lies in rolling out these breaking changes without disrupting your users’ workflows.

In 2021, researchers at MIT and McKinsey teamed up to ask more than 100 companies how they were using AI in their operations and to learn what separated the highest-performing companies from the rest. They conducted a similar survey in 2023 to see what had changed.

AI is merely one facet of a sweeping technological change underway, and companies that fail to recognize the importance of other converging technologies risk being left behind. Two other technologies advanced sensors and biotechnology are less visible, though no less important, and have been quietly advancing. Soon, the convergence of these three technologies is going to underpin a new reality that will shape the future decisions of every leader across industries.

AI agent autonomy is a conundrum. In many cases, supervision is needed in the form of a human in the loop to avoid disaster. Yet, you lose productivity gains if you impose excessive supervision on your agent. Too little latitude, and the agents capabilities are constrained to answering simple questions. Too much autonomy, and brand, reputation, customer relationships, and even financial stability are at risk.

Introduction In the world of data modeling, one of the challenges organizations face is managing tables with business keys (BKs) that are re-used over time. This issue typically occurs when a company, for technical limitations in the source system, reuses primary keys or "unique identifiers" over time. This practice can lead to ambiguity, especially when historical data is needed for analytical purposes.
