This year has been pivotal for Generative AI (GenAI) adoption, with a significant acceleration in technology integration. The Asia-Pacific region now expects a substantial increase in technology spending, driven by the rising demand for artificial intelligence.

The Active Archive Alliance has released a report, “How Active Archives Support Modern AI Strategies.” New artificial intelligence (AI) workflows are creating massive and persistent volumes of data that necessitate long-term retention and protection. Active archives help make AI workflow data easily accessible, searchable and retrievable on whatever storage platform or media it resides.

Less than two years ago, the launch of ChatGPT started a generative AI frenzy. Some said the technology would trigger a fourth industrial revolution, completely reshaping the world as we know it.

With the rise of remote work, enterprises face three common problems:  information management, security, and collaboration. Enterprise Content Management (ECM) software has been the go-to solution for businesses. However, challenges like unexpected downtime or the inability to track user activity can still derail projects and bring work to a standstill.

The Deloitte AI Institute has unveiled the third quarterly edition of its State of Generative AI in the Enterprise report, revealing the current landscape of GenAI adoption and deployment and how organizations are overcoming barriers to create value at scale.

Telstra is  underway with Australia's largest deployment of generative AI, with Copilot for M365 being made available to 21,000 of its staff. It is also one of the largest rollouts by any telecommunications company globally, the company claims.

As an Information Manager, I have always enjoyed working with words and data. I take pride in my writing skills and my attention to detail. I also value the importance of record-keeping and governance, especially in the public sector. That's why I was intrigued when I had the opportunity to be on the CoPilot trial.

ANZ has expanded its use of Copilot for Microsoft 365, deploying an additional 3,000 licenses across its workforce, transforming how ANZ employees approach their daily tasks

Much has been said and written in recent years about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its likely impact on the world. So much in fact that, like every technology trend before it, the hype overwhelms the substance. Toxic positivity though? That seems a little harsh given that every modern business aspires to be data-driven in both strategy and execution.
