This week, we begin with a campaign launched to merge the databases of tourism-related agencies, businesses, and organizations to support the recovery and growth of the industry. Next is a Forbes interview with Pamela Isom, the new Director of the AITO, discussing the uses & problems associated with leveraging AI technology. Then, we have a story about Ireland’s climate targets slipping out of reach because of the high demand for electricity by its data centers and how big techs are asked to make up for its impact. Following that, we have an essay claiming that we need more contextual data that can be achieved through data enrichment. Next is an article that talks about the ways of adoption of edge computing to help organizations better equip their data centers for meeting the demand from metaverse technology. Lastly, we have a piece on the valuable insights provided by the geospatial data in adapting and mitigating climate change by helping to efficiently identify locations for renewable energy investment.
Government Plans To Gather Data, Combine Tourism Databases
In an effort to organize data and bolster tourism for the future, government agencies are looking at merging the databases of tourism-related agencies, businesses, and organizations. They plan to create a unified database in order to bring together all the information in an organized system. A campaign was launched, supported by the Department of Tourism, the Department of Provincial Administration, and the Department of Health Service Support who each signed on to an agreement of creating a merger of their databases.
How The US Department Of Energy Is Transforming AI
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has long stood out as one of the most science, technology, and innovation-focused US federal agencies. It should come as little surprise then that the DOE continues to invest in transformative technology such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. The DOE established the Artificial Intelligence and Technology (AITO) office to help transform the DOE into a world leading Artificial Intelligence (AI) enterprise by accelerating the research, development, delivery, and adoption of AI.
Ireland’s Data Centers Are An Economic Lifeline. Environmentalists Say They’re Wrecking The Planet
In the west of Ireland lies a medieval market town, its roots steeped in legend. Beyond the labyrinth of narrow streets of the center are the chimney stacks of housing developments that still puff coal and peat. Past those homes, on the outskirts of Ennis, is an unremarkable but huge plot of land, nestled between a power station and farmland where cattle and sheep graze. This is where a mysterious company has applied to develop a new data center the size of 22 American football fields.
We Don’t Need More Data. We Need More Contextual Data: Data Enrichment vs Fraud
For every company that deals with the online world at any capacity these days, data is central to both its products and its process. From trying to get ahead in offering customers and clients ample information about the benefits of your merchandise to reaching conclusions about the next best steps in your growth, or even to identifying those elusive gaps in the market, data is ever-present. But are we using it properly?
4 Tips to Prepare for the Nearing Metaverse Future
While the metaverse once sounded like fiction, it is now very much a reality, with some of the biggest companies in the world investing to bring this technology to the market. Leaders are considering how to use the metaverse to enhance training, increase collaboration across global teams, and bring more personability to customer experience and digital sales.
How Can Geospatial Data Help Tackle Climate Change?
Across the globe, billions of pounds are being invested into measures to tackle climate challenges, but how do we know we are investing in the right areas and how can we track the impact these measures are making? Digital technologies can help reduce global carbon emissions by up to 15% – one-third of the 50% reduction required by 2030 – through solutions in energy, manufacturing, agriculture and land use, buildings, services, transportation, and traffic management.
