I have recently come across the concept of no-win / lose-lose scenarios and evaluated a few of strategies where looking at the Kobayashi Maru test... expanding the context horizon may lead the way. I am interested about your strategies in such contexts.

We are currently evaluating an online publishing platform for a no-profit organization for academic journal reviewing and publishing. So far we identified Open Journal Systems but as we should move forward for the Commercial version (Premium support is mandatory) I am wondering if you can suggest any alternative.

We have gone the whole hog. We have DKIM, DMARC, SPF, and TLS-RPT established. Everything is set up as strictly as possible. This should not cost any money to achieve. In my view, this is not a nice to have but an absolute ...read more

In your Organization, are you promoting the culture of model differentiation? As far as I have seen, many of us are just getting out of the box proposed without taking care of the model selection as well as if the LLM should step back for an SLM. The adoption of SLM (Small Language Model) as Phil-2 (available on Azure OpenAI) or Orca2 or Falcon 7B, Nucleus 1B, ... involves remarkable benefits: limited BIAS, Hallucinations, low costs for training, and so on.

We are migrating from a multi-tenant MS365 environment to a single tenant and need to decide the best geographic location to register the new tenant. Our footprint is global, our HQ is in the UK (where IT is led with much more Microsoft experience there than other locations), and our biggest operation is in Germany (around half of the Group's employees based there), so we've narrowed the choice to UK or Germany. What should we be taking into account to make the right decision on this? Current thinking is that the biggest location by volume of users makes the most sense, which is Germany, but there are some Germany-specific 'quirks' that should also be considered (workers council etc.).

Everyone is seeking to unlock value from AI, and it's clear that technology is no longer the primary hurdle. Do you have these three key elements in place to ensure success: Your data, right talent and responsible AI practices?

Fabrizio DegniChief Artificial Intelligence | Infrastructure Bidding and Startup Manager in Construction12 days ago

And a Governance. Talents are important but not mandatory and it depends according to the level of adoption (and commitment) you can and you want to achieve.
