Technology company TOTVS S.A. is building that foundation from its position inside thousands of Brazilian businesses. About 25% of the country’s gross domestic…
Agent workload isolation is becoming a practical infrastructure challenge as research teams move beyond training models to running code and testing agents. Systems built for intensive computation must now accommodate workloads that interact with tools, storage and other services. IBM Research’s infrastructure must support increasingly varied workloads as its model development practices evolve. Reinforcement learning…
Artificial intelligence is turning nearly every enterprise workload into a data workload, and data governance is becoming the test of whether companies can trust autonomous systems with the infrastructure underneath. The question is no longer only where data lives, but what is allowed to act on it. Enterprise data now sits across on-premises data centers,…
