For the public sector, it’s critical to be highly resilient in turbulent times through short-term challenges, long-term issues, sudden policy changes and international relations. So how can tech help and why does the running of state organizations matter to the rest of us? Joining us this week is HPE Chief Technologist Russell MacDonald. We'll be discussing the challenges facing tech in the public sector, how to stay the course in choppy waters (and sometimes literal floods), and what the rest o...

The tech industry is ever-changing, and with new processes and technologies comes demand for new skillsets. Unfortunately, the traditional STEM degree to graduate placement to hire route is still how most people make it into the industry. And that creates an issue: If everyone has the same background, it creates the same schools of thinking and skillsets. That's a problem in a world where developments in Artificial Intelligence and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) are changing the way we think...

In this episode, we’re joined by HPE Chief Technologist Adrian Lovell. We're looking behind the scenes at how economists and banks are increasingly using AI to help mitigate and plan for financial turmoil. We’ll be looking at the tools banks are using to predict the future and act accordingly when it comes to setting interest rates, and asking what that can teach the rest of us all about forward planning, strategy, and using AI to augment human expertise. We'd love to hear your one minute review...

Workplace stress is something most of us will experience at some point. But there are some fields where the stakes are that much higher. The decisions made in a pinch by airline pilots, doctors, and others can literally be life or death. Switching from a well established and sometimes dull routine to immediate focus, clarity and understanding requires years of training and experience - and nowhere is that more true than in nuclear power. The vast majority of the time it's completely safe, but it...

It's not entirely surprising that AI in healthcare is considered an enormous opportunity. Doctors and clinicians are overworked and stressed, and patients are expecting ever quicker and more effective diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, healthcare survives on efficiency and moving patients and staff where they are needed as quickly as possible. It's a perfect opportunity to take some of the strain off the human, and a wide variety of AI-based solutions are developing everything from analy...

It's fair to say crypto currency is the wild child of the tech field. From currencies climbing 40% in a day to collapsing overnight, Crypto is rarely out of the news. Why does it matter to businesses? Well, with higher stakes comes the likelihood of greater regulation. That in turn could lead to enough stability to make crypto a viable payment platform on a large scale, with enormous implications for business and the global economy, as well as forcing a rethink of ideas such as inflation and qua...

AI is a great tool for lifting the burden of repeatable, predictable tasks off humans. Until it isn’t. The fact is, a lot of AI is biased and even unconsciously discriminatory. It’s trained on poor, skewed datasets as the result of traditional biases in the tech industry. That means in the real world, unrepresented groups such as women are losing out on opportunities as a result of decisions being made by AI in finance, HR, healthcare, and more. So what can we do to solve this issue? We’re joine...

Our energy use is a hot topic (pun intended). In many parts of the world, fluctuating oil prices and energy supplies due to international turmoil and economic strife are posing an existential threat to organisations and our data. So what can we do to help keep the lights on? This week we’re joined by HPE Chief Technologist Dr John Frey to talk about ‘easy’ ways to save energy in our datacenters and IT ecosystems. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week w...

Weather is never out of the news. From an extreme and later than normal hurricane season in the US to record-breaking cold snaps in China and Korea all within the space of a few weeks, it’s fairly obvious that we should care about forecasting. Especially as we’re likely to get more extreme weather in the future. This week, we take a look at how experts and tech companies are developing up-to-the-minute solutions to predicting our weather woes. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett P...

Bots have been in the news a lot over the last few months. From plaguing social media and threatening to scupper Elon Musk’s Twitter buyout, to being blamed for Taylor Swift’s tour ticketing woes on the Live Nation site, they tend to make the news for all the wrong reasons. But what exactly are bots? Can they be used for good? And can they help organisations? We’re joined today by Matt Armstong-Barnes, HPE Chief Technologist, to find out. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packar...
