Technology Now

HPE Discover 2023 was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, from the 20th-22nd June. Thousands of delegates and customers gathered to network and explore the cutting-edge of enterprise-level IT and technology. And what a show it was for cutting-edge!

The show was opened with a keynote speech by HPE CEO and President Antonio Neri, in which he outlined new product lines and services including cloud-based Large Language Model AI provision, security features, and closer integration with a number of datacentre and public cloud providers.

Our own Aubrey Lovell was at the show and brings us a special wrap-up update!

This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organisations and what we can learn from it.

AI is huge business. But it’s also having a huge effect on our carbon emissions: The storage, cooling, and processing power required to train a large language model AI can produce as much CO2 as driving over a million miles in a family car.

In this episode, we’re talking to HPE Chief Technologist Matt Armstrong-Barnes about the concept of sustainable AI, and how making strategic decisions early in the design process – as well as proper data management – can help save organisations a fortune, as well as to potentially reduce CO2 emissions.

We humans are social animals, and we communicate a lot with our voices - much more than just in the words we speak. So if our voices can communicate emotion, can they also communicate health markers? Well, apparently so. Increasingly, AI research is looking at using AI voice analysis to diagnose everything from common colds to cancer, as well as mental health markers.

It could be a huge opportunity in the healthcare space, but also in professional settings as a tool in the belt of HR and talent managers.

This week, we're joined by Yaël Bensoussan, MD, Head of the Department of Otolaryngology at the Morsani College of Medicine, to find out more.

Applying for driver's licenses. Filing for permits. Applying for aid or benefits. The world is a bureaucratic place, and it cost individuals, organisations, and Governments billions of dollars a year to make it all tick over. So can good digital transformation fix the problem? Can it streamline our lives? If so, what does that look like, and, more importantly, why haven't we done it yet? This week we're joined by Managing Director at Boston Consulting Group, Neveen Awad, to find out.

In 2022, between 300 and 500 million people globally watched esports events in one form or another. And with huge audiences come huge revenues and prize pots: DOTA 2, one of the most popular games among fans and competitive players, has an estimated prize pool of over $40 million annually across the various leagues and tournaments. The industry as a whole is worth $1.4 billion, and it's growing fast. Leading the charge is Evil Geniuses. We are joined by CEO Nicole LaPointe Jameson to talk about how the industry has sprung up, professionalized, and is now ready to step into the arena with other major professional sports.

For the public sector, it’s critical to be highly resilient in turbulent times through short-term challenges, long-term issues, sudden policy changes and international relations. So how can tech help and why does the running of state organizations matter to the rest of us? Joining us this week is HPE Chief Technologist Russell MacDonald. We'll be discussing the challenges facing tech in the public sector, how to stay the course in choppy waters (and sometimes literal floods), and what the rest of us can learn about technological resilience.

The tech industry is ever-changing, and with new processes and technologies comes demand for new skillsets. Unfortunately, the traditional STEM degree to graduate placement to hire route is still how most people make it into the industry. And that creates an issue: If everyone has the same background, it creates the same schools of thinking and skillsets. That's a problem in a world where developments in Artificial Intelligence and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) are changing the way we think about developing IT solutions, where insight is increasingly being layered on top of data to create new analyses and problem-solving methods, and where translating client needs into software and hardware is increasingly about writing the next chapter of a story.

That's creating demand for a new type of tech-professional, and one which is unlikely to be found by traditional hiring routes. In this episode, we're taking a look at how tech skills deficits are being filled by people with very different backgrounds, from apprentices to historians.
