As organizations roll out AI applications and AI-enabled smartphones and devices, IT leaders may need to sell the benefits to employees or risk those investments falling short of business expectations. That’s because employees have decidedly mixed feelings about AI coming to their workplaces, according to the recent survey by IT solutions integrator Insight , even as many enterprises are already adopting or experimenting with AI and as AI-enabled phones begin hitting the market.

When building Docker images, we are often repeating steps. When building locally, Docker uses a cache so it doesn’t have to rebuild layers it has already built before. This is great! In CI/CD pipelines, you often start on a clean virtual machine. This means there is no Docker cache yet! Your Docker image will be built from scratch every time. This takes up valuable time and creates a slower feedback loop.

A few decades from now, historians might conclude we are living in a Second Gilded Age.

On the one hand, artificial intelligence has helped both technology departments and the business units to work better, faster, and cheaper. But on the other hand, AI and generative AI in particular, as well as the speed at which intelligence barreled its way into organizations, have disrupted many IT plans, says Taglienti, chief data officer and distinguished engineer at tech firm

Avoiding workplace conflict makes for stagnant organizations where problems fester No one needs destructive, anger-fueled conflict at work. It’s corrosive and makes work miserable. But there’s another kind of workplace conflict that’s not only vital for a vibrant culture, but this kind of productive workplace conflict is also the fuel for innovation, quality of life, and the better workplace today’s teams crave.

Interviewers should prepare for interviews just as thoroughly as candidates do. Being equipped with compelling stories and setting aside dedicated preparation time, such as 30 minutes beforehand, allows interviewers to mentally prepare and be fully present during the interview. Like with candidates, it’s not only the content of what is said that matters, but also the manner in which it’s conveyed.

A recent 60 Minutes segment was a great primer on what the cybersecurity community knows all too well—that good old-fashioned social engineering (a hustle or a con—like some of the stunts Sinatra and the gang pulled in the original Ocean's 11) remains the main point of entry for most large-scale ransomware attacks. Can someone say the Podesta emails (a fake password change email from the IT department)?

Companies that are struggling to find the right place to deploy new AI tech should consider use cases involving “voice of the customer” applications — parsing, interpreting, and responding to customer input from all different channels. They are typically easier to implement than employee productivity use cases because they don’t require as much behavior change, and easier to measure improvements in economic value because improving customer satisfaction often has a financial payoff.

We’ve all heard of servant leadership. The concept of “being a servant” to your teams and treating employees as critical individuals to be cultivated and empowered, has strong merit. However, many organizations fall short, with those at the top of the hierarchy viewing employees as interchangeable cogs in the corporate machine. Instead of diving deep into the theories, practices, and benefits of servant leadership, I will focus on a specific, related principle or mind-set: being unobtrusive.
