Artificial intelligence is changing the world. With use cases ranging from content generation to deep data analysis to detecting health issues, AI can greatly improve lives and enhance business outcomes. And with the explosion of generative AI services and large language models, we can expect AI to become even more ubiquitous than it already is. But AI isn’t perfect. In particular, AI privacy issues put organizations at risk or prevent adoption in the first place.
At most federal government agencies, acquisition teams are understaffed and overworked. They have open positions that they can’t seem to fill. And their acquisition “systems” aren’t helping matters.

AI automation is changing the game in business operations. For many companies, global competition is heating up fast on an increasingly crowded playing field. In the past, business leaders knew their competitors and how they operated. But now, executives across industries have to look over their shoulders for new challengers that arrive with surprising speed from virtually any corner of the globe.
In 2024, the robotic process automation (RPA) market will shift due to four major trends. These include (you guessed it) artificial intelligence’s effect on RPA, shifts in the market landscape, changes to RPA’s place in the larger automation landscape, and new data management methods.
Businesses are in a persistent productivity slump that could last through 2030, according to a 2023 World Bank study. The tech boom that powered innovation and growth over the last three decades is fading. Many companies are counting on artificial intelligence (AI) to boost operational efficiency and counteract these alarming trends.
2023 was a breakout year for artificial intelligence. It dominated news headlines as well as LinkedIn feeds. But its impact goes beyond the professional—I often overhear conversations at coffee shops about AI from people who aren’t knee-deep in the field. Whoever you are, AI is likely having a transformative impact on your life.
