Build once and run anywhere across platforms and devices End-to-End application lifecycle integration through ALM and DevOps Improve communication and collaborat...

AI gets smarter and more practical

We all know AI is coming to the forefront of technology in the form of machine learning (ML) and deep neural networks, where AI can understand the surroundings and apply that information to the current context, whether it is about data pattern analysis or driving a vehicle. Coupled with increasing capabilities of AI hardware, in 2018 we can expect: AI research will reach new heights in the fields of neural networks and generative adversarial networks. Cooperative learning among networks will lead to hybrid intelligence. Continuous evolution of AI will empower enterprise-scale business processes with intelligence and agility. AI will redefine the IT landscape with smart machines and borg systems. Read the complete article on DXC technology trends for 2018

Do we know the enterprise IT challenges...???
