Aug 22, 2019 | As a developer, you and your team must take functional or non-functional requirements and create elegant solutions based on product benefits, team skills, general limitations, and impact. Teams are also required to make design decisions, some which are short term (tactical) and others that are more long term (strategic). How a team makes these decisions varies from team to team, project to project, and styles of work. Documenting decisions in the form of solution design and creating an agile story to wait in the backlog for future implementation is a very strategic way of working. However, issues begin to occur…

Aug 21, 2019 | As artificial intelligence (AI) is added to an increasing number of business processes, the need to demonstrate that AI systems make decisions in a fair manner, are not vulnerable to tampering, and can be explained to different stakeholders is becoming more important. In a nutshell, there is a pressing need to bring trust into AI systems. Open source is a key enabler of building trust because code and techniques are visible to everyone. To continue its commitment to make AI more trustworthy, IBM announced today that it is teaming with the Linux Foundation AI (LF AI) to drive the development…

Aug 19, 2019 | An estimated 40 percent of the food produced in the United States is wasted every year, costing households, businesses, and farms about $218 billion. There's no single cause of food waste—it happens throughout the food chain, during transport, in stores, and in consumers' homes. All of this waste is taking an enormous (and growing!) toll on the environment. Not to mention, this amount of food waste feels wrong when 1 in 8 people in the United States experience food insecurity. The good news is that many grocers and food producers are working to combat this waste and its impact on…

Aug 15, 2019 | For a long time, chatbots have been the number one example of putting artificial intelligence (AI) into practice. Although there are much more sophisticated AI applications, the simple chatbot interfaces make the technology tangible and accessible to the average user through smartphones and messenger apps. However, a massive breakthrough of chatbots is still to come. So far, interactions remain too linear to simulate the feeling of a fully fledged digital conversation partner. What's on the outlook for chatbots? And what challenges do you face as developer when building one? We discuss this with Tim Groot, AI developer at e-office and…
