8×8 boosts Microsoft Teams with native calling integration, Opera’s iOS app adds Aria AI chatbot for content generation, Rogers clinches top spot in umlaut’s Canadian carrier study, and IoT propels enterprise transformation with 5G and eSIM adoption, per Omdia survey.
A recently conducted study on ChatGPT, a popular AI chatbot, unveiled a political bias in its responses. A group of researchers from UK and Brazil noted a discernible left-leaning orientation, shaping an unexpected narrative. This raises questions about AI’s impartiality in conveying content, and signals the need for stricter scrutiny and regulation. As AI increasingly guides our informational insights, maintaining neutrality in its delivery becomes crucial for preserving integrity, particularly in electoral processes.
In a first for the region, Ericsson and Australian operator TPG are creating a cloud-native AI-powered analytics tool, designed specifically to streamline 4G and 5G networks. With the power to predict and fix performance issues in real-time, this tool aims to enhance response times to network issues and reduce reliance on complex infrastructure analysis. Showcasing TPG as an early adopter, this technology also enhances network flexibility as usage increases, allowing for tracking of around five million subscribers.
The Q2 global market growth for cloud infrastructure services showed a flourishing trend, although at a slightly reduced rate from Q1. The noteworthy strides are largely linked to evolving spending habits, with AI expected to power considerable growth soon. Amazon and Microsoft demonstrate this shift, announcing AI-focused programs in response to the rising demand. Nevertheless, mastering AI implementation comes via strategic partnerships, open to those willing to forward AI applications.
Delving into the biases within artificial intelligence (AI), a recent study highlights how large language models (LLMs) inherently reflect limited perspectives. This becomes particularly intriguing when considering the varying ethics exhibited by AI systems from OpenAI and Meta.
Rakuten’s new alliance with OpenAI aims to dissect opportunities in generative AI to enhance various business sectors they serve globally.

The Linux Foundation-led Ultra Ethernet Consortium brings AMD, Arista, Broadcom, and others together to refine ethernet architecture, addressing the escalating network requirements of AI and high-performance computing. Pledging to enhance ethernet performance, the alliance will leverage ethernet’s adaptability, ensuring scalability and cost-effectiveness for diverse workloads. Aiming for a holistic tune-up rather than a complete overhaul, consortium endeavours will encompass detailed protocols, signaling mechanisms, and software solutions.
Global IT spending is projected to reach an impressive $4.7 trillion by 2023, a significant portion of this being credited to the 14.5% increase in software spending. Interestingly, Gartner highlights that generative AI, despite its transformative potential, doesn’t significantly impact current IT spending. Embraced slowly via upgrades to existing systems, generative AI isn’t seen as a disruptive, but as an added benefit. Moreover, the rise in software expenditure aligns with organizations aiming for operational efficiency, often through resources like ERP and CRM applications.
