It’s Time to Embrace Intelligent Document Processing

Technological advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have made it possible for businesses to unearth meaningful insights from unstructured documents more efficiently than ever.

A growing number of modern enterprises are embracing intelligent document processing (IDP) — a technique that leverages AI technologies such as natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML), to transform unstructured and semi-structured data into usable information.

It’s certainly a step in the right direction. Companies must take advantage of AI-powered data extraction tools to process documents efficiently. It’s faster, more cost-effective, and more scalable. Read More

Lockheed Martin’s new jet was flown by AI for 17 hours in world first

Lockheed Martin, and the United States Air Force, are currently developing an AI-powered F-16 variant called the VISTA X-62A.

In December 2021, during a test flight from California’s Edwards Air Force Base, a special Lockheed Martin F-16 fighter jet trainer called the VISTA X-62A became the first tactical aircraft to be controlled by AI.

This could be a big deal, as new pilots must be trained to fly high-performance planes in various conditions. Because making and maintaining fighter planes is so expensive, air forces today are much smaller than they used to be. This makes it hard to set aside enough of these “flying thoroughbreds” for training. Read More

GitHub’s Copilot for Business is now generally available

GitHub today announced that Copilot for Business, the company’s $19/month enterprise version of its AI-powered code completion tool, is now generally available, after a short beta phase that started last December. Copilot for Business adds features like license management, organization-wide policy management and additional privacy features. Until now, you had to work with GitHub’s sales organization to sign up for the business version, but now there is a self-serve option as well.

“[This] effectively completes our v1 Copilot story,” GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke told me. “We announced the preview in June 2021 — which feels like ages ago — and then had the general availability last summer. Now we are ready to roll it out to organizations, companies, teams, enterprises — really everybody. In fact, we already have more than 400 organizations that are on Copilot for Business at launch and we see tremendous interest.” Read More
