Artificial intelligence (AI) is perhaps the most hyped technology trend in the world right now--and with good reason. The combination of highly capable algorithms, exponentially increasing amounts of digital data, and ever-increasing computational power have enabled tremendous successes in the development, application, and impact of AI in recent years. We see or experience some of […]
AI is a powerful technology capability that will transform business, education, government; it will revolutionize healthcare transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, and virtually all important societal systems. In this Austin Forum event, we learn what AI is, why it's so powerful, and some of the ways is it being used now--and will change the world tomorrow. In […]

Awareness of racial injustice, discrimination, and inequities has soared in the US recent months, motivated by the tragic killing of Black Americans—including George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and many others. This has created a wave of social protests and calls for change, from reforming police departments to removing symbols of the Confederacy to increased […]
In this special second event on the topic of social justice, equity, and diversity (following our event on August 4), we will address how and why technology companies can be be drivers of change in social justice, equity, and diversity—and why this will be good for their own success (products, services, profits, and more) as […]

One year ago, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus a pandemic and the US declared a national emergency. In a year, we used technology to sequence the virus, develop tests, and create vaccines and treatments in record time and scale. However, the virus has also evolved — we’re not out of the woods […]
Computing has become pervasive in our lives, with microprocessors of many types, scales, and characteristics powering everything from home devices to high performance computing systems, from digital sensors to data centers, from cars to cloud computing services. Persistent exponential advances in microprocessors and semiconductor technologies present more performance at less cost and lower power consumption […]
Misinformation and disinformation have been around as long as people have been seeking to create gains and advantages for themselves and their interests. However, technologies including the web, smartphones, and social media platforms have greatly augmented the potential for creating and spreading misinformation and the effectiveness of organized disinformation campaigns. It has become increasingly difficult […]
Technologies are ubiquitous in our lives: embedded in our homes, offices, and vehicles, and in our schools, healthcare, entertainment, and most other places we go. And yet, while technologies have become pervasive, there is no constancy: technology capabilities grow exponentially, entirely new technology products emerge rapidly, and the rate of digital transformation in our lives, […]
