Cloud-native architectures have brought immense complexity along with increased business agility. But with this complexity comes fragility and lack of transparency into system performance and reliability. At Perform 2024, Dynatrace announced three major platform enhancements aimed squarely at bridging this observability gap for engineering teams.  According to Steve Tack, SVP of Product Management at Dynatrace, a key goal is to "help organizations adopt new technologies with confidence." By leveraging Davis AI and other…

A research team has developed a machine learning model to address variability in quantum devices caused by material imperfections. By analyzing electron flow, the team inferred internal disorder patterns, improving predictions of quantum device performance and guiding material optimization. Credit: SciTechDaily.comA study led by the University of Oxford has used the power of machine learning to overcome a key challenge affecting quantum devices. For the first time, the findings reveal a way to close the ‘reality gap’: the…

For most of us breathing is the easiest thing to do because oxygen is naturally available in the air. An oxygen crisis in the country continues to rise and patients are losing their lives while in search of this precious commodity. Oxygen is an expensive luxury.

Why is the government not taking the oxygen crisis as something that needs to be addressed? RUTH WAMBUI My name is…

There is no quick-fix to closing this expectation-reality gap, but the first step is to foster honest dialogue between teams. Then, business leaders can begin to democratize ML across the organization. Democratization means both technical and non-technical teams have access to powerful ML tools and are supported with continuous learning and training. Non-technical teams get user-friendly data visualization tools to improve their business decision-making, while data scientists get access to the robust development…

In this article, we delve into the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems and its implications on IVR testing. Beginning with an exploration of the evolution of IVR systems, we discuss the advent of AI in enhancing these systems to deliver more natural, personalized customer interactions. We then examine the significant impact of AI on IVR testing, the challenges it presents, and the strategies and techniques for effectively testing AI-based IVR systems. The article…
