Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.

The technologies and people we are designing experiences for are constantly changing, in most cases they are changing at a rate that is difficult keep up with. When we think about how our teams are structured and the design processes we use in light of this challenge, a new design problem (or problem space) emerges, one that requires us to focus inward. How do we structure our teams and processes to be resilient? What would happen if we looked at our teams and design process as IA’s, Designers, Researchers? What strategies would we put in place to help them be successful? This talk will look at challenges we face leading, supporting, or simply being a part of design teams creating experiences for user groups with changing technological needs.
Today we all live and work in the Internet Century, where technology is roiling the business landscape, and the pace of change is only accelerating.

The Future Of Work & The Work Of The FutureArturo Pelayo
What Happens When Robots And Machines Learn On Their Own?
This slide deck is an introduction to exponential technologies for an audience of designers and developers of workforce training materials.
The Blended Learning And Technologies Forum (BLAT Forum) is a quarterly event in Auckland, New Zealand that welcomes practitioners, designers and developers of blended learning instructional deliverables across different industries of the New Zealand economy.
Here at Table19, we believe that great work is only possible when clients and their agencies work together as a team. This is a presentation written by our Executive Creative Director Graham Wall, who on his first day in this industry heard the senior team he was shadowing say something he couldn’t understand: that the client had bought the wrong idea.
This set in motion a desire to understand how and why this had happened, and make sure it never happened again. This presentation details Graham’s learnings and philosophies, and shows how agencies and clients can create better work together.
Artificial intelligence (ai) will radically transform the way we do business in the future, and the way we live. That’s a strong statement, but i believe it’s true. Ai has many faces. As we are increasingly exposed to it, it’s important to understand what it can and can’t do and how companies can pivot wisely to this still evolving reality without overlooking the ethical, human and regulatory questions it raises.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
Things That Don't Matter in Your Presentation!Ayman Sadiq

Taming the ever-evolving Compliance Beast : Lessons learnt at LinkedIn [Strat...Shirshanka Das
Just when you think you have your Kafka and Hadoop clusters set up and humming and you’re well on your path to democratizing data, you realize that you now have a very different set of challenges to solve. You want to provide unfettered access to data to your data scientists, but at the same time, you need to preserve the privacy of your members, who have entrusted you with their data.
Shirshanka Das and Tushar Shanbhag outline the path LinkedIn has taken to protect member privacy in its scalable distributed data ecosystem built around Kafka and Hadoop.
They also discuss three foundational building blocks for scalable data management that can meet data compliance regulations: a centralized metadata system, a standardized data lifecycle management platform, and a unified data access layer. Some of these systems are open source and can be of use to companies that are in a similar situation. Along the way, they also look to the future—specifically, to the General Data Protection Regulation, which comes into effect in 2018—and outline LinkedIn’s plans for addressing those requirements.
But technology is just part of the solution. Shirshanka and Tushar also share the culture and process change they’ve seen happen at the company and the lessons they’ve learned about sustainable process and governance.

AI in Business - Key drivers and future valueAPPANION
Artificial Intelligence is undoubtedly a hyped topic at the moment. But what is the reasoning for investors and digital platform players to bet very large amounts of money on this technology right now? To better understand the current market dynamics and to give an overview of renown predictions for the upcoming 2-3 years, we compiled a practical overview of this topic. This report covers the major driving forces of AI, assumptions for the future from the industry thought leaders as well as practical advice on how to start AI projects within your company.
We pioneered accelerated computing to tackle challenges no one else can solve. Now, the AI moment has arrived. Discover how our work in AI and the metaverse is profoundly impacting society and transforming the world’s largest industries.
Promising to transform trillion-dollar industries and address the “grand challenges” of our time, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang shared a vision of an era where intelligence is created on an industrial scale and woven into real and virtual worlds at GTC 2022.
Our passion is to inspire and enable the da Vincis and Einsteins of our time, so they can see and create the future. We pioneered graphics, accelerated computing, and AI to tackle challenges ordinary computers cannot solve. See how we're continuously inventing the future--from our early days as a chip maker to transformers of the Metaverse.
Outlining a sweeping vision for the “age of AI,” NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Monday kicked off the GPU Technology Conference.
Huang made major announcements in data centers, edge AI, collaboration tools and healthcare in a talk simultaneously released in nine episodes, each under 10 minutes.
“AI requires a whole reinvention of computing – full-stack rethinking – from chips, to systems, algorithms, tools, the ecosystem,” Huang said, standing in front of the stove of his Silicon Valley home.
Behind a series of announcements touching on everything from healthcare to robotics to videoconferencing, Huang’s underlying story was simple: AI is changing everything, which has put NVIDIA at the intersection of changes that touch every facet of modern life.
More and more of those changes can be seen, first, in Huang’s kitchen, with its playful bouquet of colorful spatulas, that has served as the increasingly familiar backdrop for announcements throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
“NVIDIA is a full stack computing company – we love working on extremely hard computing problems that have great impact on the world – this is right in our wheelhouse,” Huang said. “We are all-in, to advance and democratize this new form of computing – for the age of AI.”

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

to see the detailed protein structures that drive the
inner workings of cells.
On Monday, a trio of American physicists — Rainer
Weiss, Barry Barish and Kip Thorne — won science’s
most prestigious honor for detecting gravitational
waves, a phenomenon Albert Einstein predicted more
than a century ago.

8. MIT USES DEEP LEARNING TO HELP GUIDE DECISIONS IN ICU
If it wasn’t for a mysterious hot pepper allergy,
Harini Suresh might never have found a way to
improve patient care in intensive care units:
“The ICU is a high-stakes, high-demand
environment, and doctors can spend only
a limited amount of time with each
patient. When doctors are dealing with
many data sources and data types,
computational tools can make a
difference.”

9. PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT FIRMS ARE USING AI TO SEEK ALPHA
Beating the market is hard. Notoriously hard. A large
majority of professional portfolio managers, after
deducting their fees, don’t do it; now, there’s
pressure on active portfolio management firms to up
their game, and they’re increasingly using AI to do it.
“In the past, hedge funds would dispatch people to
retailers’ parking lots to count cars — the simple
idea being more cars predicts more sales. Now
imagine you could use deep learning to extract in
near real time vehicle or ship locations from
satellite or drone data on a massive scale.”
