As businesses embrace cutting-edge tech, challenges like data sovereignty and AI are taking centre stage.

Over the past six months, the AI industry has seen significant advancements, with competing models such as Meta’s Luma and Google’s Gemini entering the market.

However, these developments come with a reality check. Building large language models (LLMs) requires substantial computing power and time, making immediate returns on investment unlikely.

One promising innovation is agentic AI, a step beyond generative AI, which enables proactive, automated solutions.

For instance, this technology could stabilise IT systems autonomously, diagnosing and resolving issues without human intervention.

Data sovereignty has also emerged as a key focus, with increasing emphasis on keeping data within national borders to comply with local laws. This has driven the adoption of sovereign clouds and private data centres, ensuring secure and localised data processing for AI development.

Deepak Ajmani, Vice President of ANZ & APAC Emerging Markets at Confluent, joins to discuss the evolving business landscape.

Former President Joe Biden’s farewell letter to President Trump shows civility, wishing him well, highlighting a tradition that transcends political divides.

This letter was made public by Fox News and showcases a rare moment of civility between these two polarising figures in American politics.

In the letter, Biden expresses his best wishes for Trump and his family as he departs from the presidency.

Biden’s note reads:
“Dear President Trump,

As I take leave of this sacred office, I wish you and your family all the best in the next four years. The American people – and people around the world – look to this house for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history, and my prayer is that in the coming years will be a time of prosperity, peace, and grace for our nation.

May God bless you and guide you as He has blessed and guided our beloved country since our founding.

Joe Biden 1-20-25.”

The letter concludes with a prayer for guidance and blessings for Trump, reflecting the sentiments often associated with presidential transitions.

This gesture may be viewed as a simple act of goodwill or simply as politics at play.
