New Relic Report: IT & Telecom Embrace Observability for AI & Cloud Gains

May 30, 2024 by Mansi Praharaj 0 Comments #AI, #Cloud Gains, #Daniel Gomez Blanco, #Kris Day, #Relic Report

Bangalore—May 30, 2024: New Relic, the all-in-one observability platform for every engineer, published its State of Observability for IT and Telecommunications report, which offers insights and analysis on the adoption and business value of observability for the IT and telecommunications (telco) industry. The report is based on insights from 423 technology professionals and was developed in association with the 2023 Observability Forecast. It reveals organizations are facing costly outages and adopting observability to improve cross-team collaboration and strategic decision making.

The report highlights the importance of implementing full-stack observability, with the top trends driving adoption being the development of cloud-native application architectures (48%), adoption of AI technologies (43%), migration to a multi-cloud environment (40%), and an increased focus on customer experience management (39%). The report findings also show that IT and telco organizations understand the business value of observability, with 55% of respondents noting that observability improves collaboration and decision making.

“India’s 5G market is growing rapidly, with consumer demand for data-heavy digital content at an all-time high. IT and telco organisations are under constant pressure to continue to innovate and grow. To truly thrive, they need to unlock the power of their data. Observability is key – it grants the ability to see, understand, and analyse every aspect of their networks and applications. This will empower Indian companies to leverage AI effectively, build robust and cost-efficient infrastructure, and ultimately, develop innovative services that drive revenue”, said New Relic Senior Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific & Japan, Kris Day.

Observability and AI create industry leading advantages

Close to half (43%) of IT and telco organizations said AI technologies were driving observability adoption. When organizations integrate observability with AI, they position themselves at the forefront of technological innovation by addressing the challenge of sprawling data sets and improving operational efficiency. Observability is crucial to the success of AI, as it helps teams to understand their telemetry data, how to improve MTTR, and enables developers to easily apply fixes to code-level errors in their integrated development environment (IDE). It increases automation for rapid alerts, while improving incident detection and resolution.

Tool consolidation is key to reducing outages

The report uncovered that IT and telco organizations have higher outage frequencies compared to other industries, with 37% experiencing outages at least once a week compared to the industry average of 32%. This adds up to a median annual outage cost of $12.71 million, which emphasizes the critical need for improved monitoring and rapid issue-resolution capabilities.

IT and telco organizations were more likely than average to use multiple monitoring tools, with more than two-thirds (69%) using four or more tools for observability compared to 63% overall. This indicates that engineering teams are spending significant time and money tool-hopping to better understand the different aspects of their business and to resolve the issues that lead to costly outages and poor customer experiences.

Additionally, there was a prevailing preference among respondents for a single, consolidated platform (56%), with just over two-fifths (41%) saying that their organization was likely to consolidate tools in the next year to maximize their observability spend.

Security and DCX are essential components to success

System security is crucial in all industries, but especially to IT and telco organizations that operate critical infrastructure. Most (96%) plan to use security monitoring by mid-2026, demonstrating that system security maintenance is a primary focus.

Additionally, digital customer experience (DCX) continues to be a paramount consideration as organizations face unprecedented opportunities to engage with customers in new ways. IT and telco providers can use digital experience monitoring (DEM) to capitalize on these opportunities by tracking and optimizing performance and reliability to deliver flawless experiences through real user monitoring (RUM). Nearly half (45%) of IT/telco respondents expected to deploy synthetic monitoring in the next one to three years, 36% expected to deploy mobile monitoring, and 23% expected to deploy browser monitoring.

“My teams aren’t disconnected or buried in the complexity of our services, alerts, logs, or data. Our integration platform gives one clear view, so issues can be identified and fixed before it impacts our customers. That’s what truly matters,” said Skyscanner Principal Software Engineer Daniel Gomez Blanco.

How 3 Educators Are Using Generative AI

May 16, 2024 by Sujata Muguda 0 Comments #AI, #EDUCATIONAL TOOLS, #Educators, #FOUNDATIONAL COURSES, #Generative AI, #Gloria Washington, #HALLUCINATIONS – FACTS, #MATERIAL, #PLAYING FIELD, #Poonam Chaudhary, #student, #Suélia Fleury

When generative AI tools first entered the public sphere in late 2022, many schools and educators gave them icy receptions. Students were passing off AI-generated essays as their own work. And it was very hard to tell the difference.

But relations between educators and generative AI tools have thawed as educators have taken steps to incorporate generative AI into their lessons and allow students to use generative AI tools in class work. Those steps, however, are taken with caution. On one hand, teachers say they want to acknowledge that generative AI will likely be used extensively in professional life. On the other hand, they also need to design coursework that helps students demonstrate their mastery of the subject using their intellect, without the aid of tools.

Here, three educators from different parts of the world – IEEE Senior Member Suélia Fleury from Brazil, IEEE Member Gloria Washington from the U.S., and IEEE Member Poonam Chaudhary from India – discuss how they use AI in the classroom.

SOME SEE GENERATIVE AI AS INEVITABLE

“The use of artificial intelligence is inevitable in educational teaching,” said Fleury. “I have not yet incorporated the application of AI into teaching and lesson plans, but I do not prohibit its use, as I believe it is necessary to address this integration.”

USING GENERATIVE AI REQUIRES DISCLOSURE

“Universities now allow students to use generative AI if they cite it in the homework and assignments they turn in,” Washington said.

IT MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR FOUNDATIONAL COURSES

“Some courses like ‘introduction to programming’ do not allow first-year students to use tools to generate code,” Washington said. “This is because they are dependent on learning the basics before use of these tools.”

CAN GENERATIVE AI LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD?

“Generative AI offers students a way to validate their skills, thought processes and knowledge, while simultaneously automating tasks that may not align with their strengths,” Chaudhary said. “Not all students possess every skill set. This diversity can relieve the pressure of achieving mastery in all areas.”

TEACHERS DEFINITELY SEE VALUE IN HELPING THEM TEACH

“The thought of AI in education takes me to a future where it helps me create on-the-fly frequently asked questions, gathers materials that learners with different styles can utilize to practice their skills and allows students ways to interactively verify the theory that underlines topics and concepts,” Washington said.

HOW DO HALLUCINATIONS – FACTS AN AI MODEL MAKES UP – IMPACT THE USEFULNESS OF AI?

“If a person requests [from AI] a brief description of a particular term without having grasped the topic fully, they may end up repeating incorrect and disjointed information generated by the AI,” said Fleury.

VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION ARE STRONG EDUCATIONAL TOOLS

“Teachers and professors are using generative AI to help students teach applied theory,” Washington said. “Essentially, they are starting with a solution or output from the generative AI and asking students to verify the solution via the principles and techniques in class. They have to decide whether the output is valid or not. This is from the standpoint of programming classes, data science techniques and user interface design techniques.”

IF A STUDENT USES AI, CAN WE SAY THAT THE WORK DOES OR DOES NOT REFLECT THEIR MASTERY OF THE MATERIAL?

“The work submitted by students using chatbots can obscure the individual capabilities of each student,” said Chaudhary. “By relying heavily on these tools, students might not engage in critical thinking or explore beyond the information provided by the AI. This reliance on chatbots without validating the information can lead to a superficial understanding of the material.”

Huawei Announces New Inventions That Will Revolutionize AI, 5G, and User Experience

Jun 8, 2022 by Agency 0 Comments #5G, #AI, #Huawei, #User Experience

Huawei announced a batch of key inventions as part of its biennial “Top Ten Inventions” Awards at the “Broadening the Innovation Landscape 2022” forum held at its Shenzhen headquarters. The award is designed to recognize inventions that could create new series of products, become important commercial features of existing products, or that generate considerable value for the company and the industry.

The awarded inventions range from an adder neural network that significantly reduces power consumption and circuit area to a game-changing “optical iris” that provides a unique identifier for optical fibers. It is designed to help carriers manage their network resources, cutting time and costs associated with broadband deployment.

The announcement came in the context of intellectual property rights, the protection and sharing of which Huawei believes is critical to the tech ecosystem.

“Protecting IP is key to protecting innovation,” said Huawei’s Chief Legal Officer, Song Liuping. “We are eager to license our patents and technologies to share our innovations with the world. This will help broaden the innovation landscape, drive our industry forward, and advance technology for everyone,” he added.

“Huawei is constantly changing itself, and constantly showcasing to the world the value of IP from China,” said Tian Lipu, President of the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property’s China Chapter.

By the end of 2021, Huawei held more than 110,000 active patents across over 45,000 patent families. It has more granted patents than any other Chinese company, has filed the most patent applications with the EU Patent Office, and ranked fifth in terms of new patents granted in the United States. For five straight years, Huawei has ranked No. 1 worldwide in terms of Patent Cooperation Treaty applications.

Alan Fan, Head of Huawei’s IPR Department, said the value of Huawei patents has seen wide recognition in the industry, especially in mainstream standards such as cellular technology, Wi-Fi, and audio/video codecs.

“In the past five years, more than two billion smartphones have been licensed to Huawei’s 4G/5G patents. And for cars, about eight million connected vehicles licensed to Huawei patents are being delivered to the consumers every year,” Fan said.

Huawei is also working actively with patent license administration companies in offering “one-stop” licenses for mainstream standards.

“Over 260 companies—accounting for one billion devices—have obtained Huawei’s HEVC patent licenses through a patent pool,” Fan said. He added that the company is in discussions to establish a new patent pool to give the industry “quick access” to Huawei’s patents for Wi-Fi devices worldwide.

Huawei is also discussing joint licensing programs for 5G patents with licensing experts and other leading industry patentees.

Liu Hua, Director of World Intellectual Property Organization Office in China, praised Huawei’s sustained focus on innovation, saying: “We look forward to seeing Huawei continue to take part in high-level global competition with innovation at its core.”

For Manuel Desantes, former Vice President of European Patent Office, given the vast number of changes in the world these days, what matters most is no longer the number of registered patents or inventions. “The IP system should assure that the creations that merit protection are those that bring actual value,” he said.

This marked the third innovation and IP-themed event Huawei has hosted on its innovation practices. Every year, Huawei invests over 10% of its sales revenue into R&D.

In terms of R&D expenditure, Huawei ranked second in the 2021 EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard. In 2021, the company increased its R&D investment to CNY142.7 billion, representing 22.4% of our total revenue. Over the past decade, Huawei’s total R&D investment surpassed CNY845 billion.
