Why We Need To Rethink Central Authority In The Age of Artificial Intelligence
The systems that have prevailed in the past are not working. They have not served their citizens well. We have lost trust in these systems. If we are to create a future free of censorship and surveillance, we have a massive undertaking that awaits us. I have always believed that the function of the society was to set up the necessary systems to help individuals live good lives where they have an opportunity to achieve their dreams. This has been achieved through centralized solutions.
Why Decentralized Technology Matters for Freedom
Governments throughout history have always bent technology to their advantage. Today, nation states have built staggering surveillance systems, and continue to exert more control over their citizens. Can decentralized networks like bitcoin help strengthen civil liberties and challenge this consolidation of power?

What Is Unstructured Data And Why Is It So Important To Businesses? An Easy Explanation For Anyone
Unstructured data can’t be easily stored in a traditional column-row database or spreadsheet like a Microsoft Excel table. It’s therefore more difficult to analyse and not easily searchable, which is why it wasn’t useful for organizations until recent years. Today, however, we have unstructured data analytics tools powered by artificial intelligence (AI) that were created specifically to access the insights available from unstructured data.
Data Curiosity: How To Cultivate An Inquisitive Workforce
As data is made available to more people within organizations, we’re seeing an increased emphasis on the importance of data literacy and data storytelling.

Why Knowledge Bases Are The Next Big Thing
Most organizations are filled to bursting with databases, most specifically dedicated to supporting one particular application or another. There’s also data in documents, spreadsheets, and other data stores, and that it’s just a matter of laziness that most of this data is not available to other parts of an organization. Buy the right tool (or hire enough open source developers to build the right tool) and you achieve digital nirvana.
