Some 300 million years ago, Earth had one continent called Pangea. Over millions of years, that vast single land mass broke up and drifted in different directions, creating the seven continents that exist today. Since the planet changed so dramatically over millennia, it raises an obvious question: How will it change in the future? The same forces, plate tectonics and continental drift, that broke up Pangea hundreds of millions of years ago still exert themselves.

“Without clean data, or clean enough data, your data science is worthless.” Michael Stonebraker, adjunct professor, MIT AI is one of the fastest-growing and most popular data-driven technologies in use. Nine in ten of Fortune 1000 companies currently have ongoing investments in AI. So you may be wondering: how could there possibly be another AI winter?

Companies nowadays are well aware of the importance of embedded analytics when it comes to being data-driven. Today, building your own analytics infrastructure into your software applications for your customers is not the only option anymore.

If someone had told my 15-years-ago self that I’d become a DevOps engineer, I’d have scratched my head and asked them to repeat that. Back then, of course, applications were either maintained on a dedicated server or (sigh!) installed on end-user machines with little control or flexibility. Today, these paradigms are essentially obsolete; cloud computing is ubiquitous and successful.

IT leaders pick different clouds for many reasons, but the rest of the company shouldn’t be left to navigate the complexity of those decisions. For data analysts, that complexity is most immediately felt when navigating between data silos. Google Cloud has invested deeply in helping customers break down these barriers inherent in a disparate data stack. Back in October 2021, we launched BigQuery Omni to help data analysts access and query data across the barriers of multi cloud environments.

Protecting sensitive data and preventing unintended data exposure is critical for businesses. However, many organizations lack the tools to stay on top of where sensitive data resides across their enterprise. It’s particularly concerning when sensitive data shows up in unexpected places – for example, in logs that services generate, when customers inadvertently send it in a customer support chat, or when managing unstructured analytical workloads.
