  • Episode 72: Artificial Intelligence
    Carolyn and Seth talk about CompTIA's new research on artificial intelligence. The idea of AI has been around for a while, and most of computing is some form of mimicking human behavior, but there is still a recent shift in the type of decision-making computers are able to do. The new research, which consists of a broad survey and targeted interviews, examines how current AI is different from traditional software programming and what issues businesses should consider as they seek to integrate AI capabilities.

  • Episode 71: Tech Industry Maturity

    Carolyn and Seth take a look at where the overall tech industry is from a growth cycle perspective. On one hand, there are elements of maturity, such as the amount of integration into society and the scale of modern technology. On the other hand, there are elements of the tech industry that will never fully stabilize, since technology is more of a platform than most other industries. These factors dictate how much regulation might affect the industry and how much tech companies should be considering their role moving forward.
