Software teams are shipping faster than ever, but speed hasn't solved the oldest problem in the industry: most software still isn't very good. AI coding tools have lowered the barrier to building something, yet they haven't lowered the barrier to building something worth using. As more people who aren't trained softwar
As AI takes over more technical and routine work, the skills that set data and AI professionals apart are shifting. Raw technical ability and a high IQ still matter, but they are becoming table stakes as tools get more capable and teams get smarter. What increasingly separates people is harder to automate: communicatio
Business intelligence has never been only about building charts and writing queries. Most of the work that makes a report trustworthy happens below the surface — in the data models, documentation, and stakeholder conversations that users never see. For analysts, technical skill is just the starting point; understanding
For forty years, the rule held that transactional and analytical databases had to be separate systems, connected by fragile pipelines that move data from one to the other. That assumption is now being questioned. As AI agents start generating the majority of database activity, the old architecture is being redesigned a
Across the AI industry, capability has exploded while trustworthiness has lagged badly behind. The same technology that writes fluent prose can invent a refund policy that was never real, and most of those errors are subtle enough that no one notices. As more teams hand high-stakes work to AI — in banking, healthcare,
AI agents are no longer limited to automating routine tasks like customer support or report generation. Research labs and pharmaceutical companies are beginning to deploy teams of specialist AI agents capable of designing experiments, analyzing data, and proposing new hypotheses — in some cases producing results that o
Most organizations know AI matters, but few have turned that conviction into a written plan. Ambition and hope are everywhere; a clear roadmap tied to business strategy is rare. For teams on the ground, this gap shows up as scattered initiatives, tools nobody fully uses, and a lot of activity that never adds up to real
AI agents are starting to handle parts of the shopping journey that used to require human judgment — discovery, comparison, checkout. But behind every agent recommendation is a massive, invisible layer of data infrastructure. Product catalogs need to be structured, inventory synced in real time, pricing accurate, and q
Technical skills are being commoditized faster than ever. As AI takes on more of the work that used to define a junior knowledge worker, the things that once made someone valuable are becoming table stakes. What compounds in this environment is reputation — what colleagues, clients, and decision-makers think about you
The role of the machine learning engineer is being rewritten in real time. AI coding assistants are absorbing parts of the day-to-day, planning and evaluation are eating up more of the week, and the lines between machine learning engineer, AI engineer, and data scientist are blurrier than ever. For anyone working in da
Every conversation about AI in data eventually arrives at the same question: which roles survive, and which ones get automated away? Generative AI can already draft SQL, build dashboards, and run exploratory analysis — but it still can't sit with a business stakeholder and untangle what "customer" actually means across
Most AI ethics conversations sound the same: be fair, be transparent, be accountable. The values are right, but in practice they don't get teams out of bed in the morning. Executives nod along, employees take the compliance training, and meanwhile real risks like hallucinations, cascading failures, and autonomous agent
Valerie Tiberius is the Paul W. Frenzel Chair in Liberal Arts and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota. She is an expert in ethics, moral psychology, and well-being, and the author of five books including What Do You Want Out of Life? and the forthcoming Artificially Yours: Real Friendship in a World
Almost every AI agent demo lands in roughly the same place: it works most of the time, looks remarkable, and then fails in a way no one anticipated. Self-driving cars hit this wall a decade ago, and agents are running into it now. For data and AI teams, the question is no longer whether agents can complete a task — it'
The data field has changed shape faster than almost any other. The role that used to be a statistician became a data scientist, became an ML engineer, and is now morphing into AI engineer. Consulting firms are hiring fewer entry-level analysts and more vibe-coders who can ship AI systems to production. For data and AI
Time series data is everywhere — from inventory systems and energy grids to financial planning and product demand. As data volumes grow, the old ways of building individual forecasting models simply don't scale. How do you forecast hundreds of thousands of products without spending months on manual modeling? How do you
Cloud data platforms now offer hundreds of services, plus a growing menu of SQL, NoSQL, and open source options. Unified environments promise a simpler path, but the hard trade-offs—consistency versus scale, single-writer versus sharded, RPO/RTO targets—still matter. In daily work, you may be deciding between SQL Serve
Decision intelligence is showing up across data and AI teams as companies move beyond dashboards to decisions made with context. Graphs, entity resolution, and better data products are becoming core tools as messy, siloed data meets stricter risk and compliance needs. In day-to-day work, this means linking “James,” “Ji
Data and AI platforms are racing toward agentic and even autonomous analytics. But the bottleneck is rarely the model—it’s data readiness: governed metrics, clear metadata, and a semantic layer machines can read. For data engineers and analysts, this shifts work from hand-built SQL and dashboard tweaks to designing mea
AI agents are spreading across the data and AI industry, promising to automate everything from research to outreach. At the same time, teams are learning that these tools can hallucinate, leak data, or act in surprising ways. In day-to-day work, the challenge is deciding which tasks to hand off, what data to share, and
World models are emerging as the next step after large language models, pushing AI from book knowledge toward systems that can simulate the physical and social world. Instead of just generating text or short videos, the goal is steerable simulation with long-horizon consistency and planning. For practitioners, this rai
Across the AI industry, high-stakes tools are being deployed in places where errors can harm people: sepsis alerts in hospitals, identity checks, welfare fraud detection, immigration enforcement, and recommendation systems that shape life outcomes. The pattern is familiar: scale and speed go up, while human review beco
Data governance has been around long enough to develop playbooks, but AI governance is evolving in real time. Industry trends like LLMs, agents, and emerging “swarms” are changing what oversight even means, from data lineage to agent-to-agent provenance. For working teams, the questions are immediate: who leads—legal,
Automation is moving from APIs to full “computer use,” where agents click through screens like a human. That power is transforming evidence collection, access reviews, and repetitive security tasks, but it also raises new risk. In everyday workflows, the safest gains often start with read-only actions, sandboxes, and c
Physical AI is showing up across the industry as sensors, connected devices, and foundation models move from the cloud into the real world. After years of IoT wiring everything to the internet, the big shift is turning raw measurements and video into meaning, not just dashboards. For day-to-day teams, that changes how
