Back in 2022, I began celebrating Women's History Month, which takes place every March, by highlighting women in technology who inspired me. March 8th is celebrated worldwide as International Women's Day. At the end of March 2022, it became clear that I wanted to continue the series because we are many.Every woman makes an impact in the industry, and I want all of them to shine. Each of these women has made significant contributions to the tech industry, breaking barriers and paving the way f...

This month, my colleague Martina Grom and I, had the pleasure of speaking at the M365Miami community event, just as we did last year. It was a fantastic experience to be part of this vibrant community event once again.M365Miami is a 100% community-run event led by Left Uncharted, a 501c3 nonprofit organization. The event brings together experts and enthusiasts in Microsoft 365, Copilot, Modern Work, and the Power Platform. Held on February 6-7, 2025, at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, ...

We are excited to announce an important update to our SaaS solution, Governance Toolkit 365 (GT365). To enhance security and streamline data access, we have replaced the Power BI data refresh authentication method with the Power BI built-in Admin API permissions. This change will take effect on February 21st. To ensure uninterrupted access to your Power BI data, it is crucial that you update your Microsoft 365 tenant configuration as described here.Why This Change?Previously, we had to use a ...

Andrew Ng: Unbiggen AI

Source: IEEE Spectrum

Andrew Ng has serious street cred in artificial intelligence. He pioneered the use of graphics processing units (GPUs) to train deep learning models in the late 2000s with his students at Stanford University, cofounded Google Brain in 2011, and then served for three years as chief scientist for Baidu, where he helped build the Chinese tech giant’s AI group. So when he says he has identified the next big shift in artificial intelligence, people listen. And that’s what he told IEEE Spectrum...

How AI Will Change Chip Design

Source: IEEE Spectrum

The end of Moore’s Law is looming. Engineers and designers can do only so much to miniaturize transistors and pack as many of them as possible into chips. So they’re turning to other approaches to chip design, incorporating technologies like AI into the process.Samsung, for instance, is adding AI to its memory chips to enable processing in memory, thereby saving energy and speeding up machine learning. Speaking of speed, Google’s TPU V4 AI chip has doubled its processing power compared ...

Atomically Thin Materials Significantly Shrink Qubits

Source: IEEE Spectrum

Quantum computing is a devilishly complex technology, with many technical hurdles impacting its development. Of these challenges two critical issues stand out: miniaturization and qubit quality.IBM has adopted the superconducting qubit road map of reaching a 1,121-qubit processor by 2023, leading to the expectation that 1,000 qubits with today’s qubit form factor is feasible. However, current approaches will require very large chips (50 millimeters on a side, or larger) at the scale of smal...
