Generative AI has revolutionized how organizations tackle problems, accelerating the journey from concept to prototype to solution. As the models become increasingly capable, we have witnessed a new design pattern emerge: AI agents. By combining tools, knowledge, memory, and learning with advanced foundation models, we can now sequence multiple model inferences together to solve ambiguous and difficult problems. From coding agents to research agents to analyst agents and more, we've already seen agents accelerate teams and organizations. While these agents enhance efficiency, they often require extensive planning, drafting, and revising to complete complex tasks, and deploying them remains a challenge for many organizations, especially as technology and research rapidly develops.

Organizations collecting and using personal data must now heed a growing body of regulations, and the penalties for noncompliance are stiff. The ubiquity of the cloud and the advent of generative AI have only made it more crucial to govern data appropriately. Thousands of companies have turned to Databricks Unity Catalog to simplify data governance and manage their data and AI assets more effectively. This practical guide helps you do the same.

The World at Economic War is a timely and thought-provoking reminder of the role that economics plays in modern warfare. It argues that economics itself is at war – the institutions of the post-war economic order are riven with challenges to their legitimacy, rendering the old certainties of market-based economics at best contested and at worst irrelevant. It shows how, through the interdependencies of globalization, the market system itself has become a means of ‘great power conflict’, accelerated by the rapid pace of financial services digitalization. This economic conflict seeps into the way international trade operates, into the way cross-border payments are made, into supply chains, and even into how financial markets control the capacity of governments to manage macroeconomic policy.
