CIOs with an eye for AI’s promise of improved productivity often find their efforts hindered by data quality, skills gaps, and sabotage, among other factors.

Artificial intelligence — and generative AI in particular — is fast proving to be a useful solution for increasing productivity across the enterprise but several common barriers to success remain.

The sooner IT leaders can identify and overcome these issues, the faster they will enable their organizations to get more value from AI-based systems.

With all the buzz around Generative AI, it’s easy to forget that it’s just one type of artificial intelligence. Time Series, Geospatial, Computer Vision, and Graph AI are also growing fast—sometimes even faster than GenAI— particularly in sectors where real-time predictions and pattern recognition are business-critical.

Take Computer Vision: you've seen it in action in manufacturing, retail, and in medical imaging. But Time Series AI? It's not grabbing headlines, yet it's quietly driving massive outcomes behind the scenes. So What Is Time Series AI?

As organizations embrace the democratization of AI, they often overlook the messy realities lurking just beyond the pilot projects and training sessions. Giving end users the tools to build and deploy their own AI agents sounds empowering—and in many ways it is—but without careful design, clear governance, and shared intent, it also invites a wave of unintended consequences. Before celebrating the creativity unleashed by user-developed agents, it’s worth stepping back and asking: how might this new autonomy create conflict, confusion, and risk inside the enterprise? Here’s a closer look at how agents can go wrong.

AI was supposed to help. In many ways, it does. But in just as many—and often more—it generates new layers of complexity. The visual “How AI Creates New Work and Wastes Time” captures six operational stress points that consistently appear in AI rollouts. They aren’t theoretical. They reflect the real work happening under the radar.

NVIDIA’s GTC event, particularly Jensen Huang’s keynote, should be mandatory watching for anyone interested in working for, buying or building tech. The event is as well orchestrated as an old Steve Jobs event, and while Huang isn’t as charismatic as Jobs was (few are), the content is less about pitching products and more about pitching a very different future.

At SXSW 2025, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker discussed the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP), a transformative quantum computing hub on Chicago’s Southeast Side. With bipartisan support, IQMP features PsiQuantum’s $1 billion+ Quantum Computer Operations Center and a DARPA-partnered Quantum Proving Ground, backed by $280 million in funding. Expected to generate $20 billion in economic impact and thousands of jobs, this initiative positions Illinois as a global leader in quantum innovation and AI advancements.
