so you're wondering what #AI can do!? Here is an example of using Google #gemini in #vertexai and the ability to input alot of context 1 million tokens! I grabbed ~100 broadband #rfps and #feasibility reports. The asked for the summary from the perspective of a #city. First Steps for a Citywide Fiber Network Here's a breakdown of the initial steps you'd take to initiate a citywide fiber project, incorporating elements from the provided feasibility studies and focusing on funding, ISP evaluation, and infrastructure considerations: Phase 1: Strategy & Policy Development Establish a Broadband Policy: Define the city's vision for broadband. This should cover: Goals: Ubiquity, affordability, competition, open access, desired speeds, and financial sustainability. Roles: The city's role as owner, facilitator, or partner. Community Engagement: Processes for gathering public input and ongoing communication. Identify Potential Funding Sources: Government Grants: Explore federal and state programs (e.g., BEAD, Capital Projects Fund, state-specific initiatives). Private Investment: Gauge interest from private ISPs willing to invest in exchange for access or partnership. Municipal Bonds: As a last resort, assess feasibility and public support. Conduct a Detailed Needs Assessment: Existing Infrastructure Mapping: Use GIS data to map current broadband coverage, identifying underserved areas. Demand Assessment: Surveys, focus groups to understand community needs, price sensitivity, and desired applications. Assemble a Project Team: Include City staff from relevant departments, legal counsel, and consider external expertise in broadband planning and financing. Phase 2: Market Engagement & Infrastructure Planning Engage with Potential ISP Partners: Issue a Request for Information (RFI): To gauge interest and gather proposed partnership models and business plans. Evaluate RFI Responses: Assess alignment with city goals, financial viability, technical expertise, and track record. Develop Infrastructure Plan: Network Design: Aerial vs. underground, fiber route selection, connection points, consideration for existing infrastructure. Construction Methods: Traditional trenching vs. micro-trenching, potential to leverage existing conduit.

New BlueGen.ai research and product update! Researchers from TU Delft, BlueGen.ai, and the Université de Neuchâtel, have addressed the challenge of generating synthetic data across distributed systems without compromising privacy. SiloFuse uses a distributed latent tabular diffusion architecture, combining autoencoders with a stacked training paradigm to create high-quality tabular data from siloed sources. This technique ensures data remains on-premise, significantly reducing communication overhead. SiloFuse outperforms traditional methods, achieving up to 43.8% higher resemblance scores and 29.8% better utility scores, making it a groundbreaking solution for privacy-preserving synthetic data generation.

I-85 Corridor: The Highway that Changed the South: From AI to super commuters, I-85 has seen it all. (siteselection.com)

As data centers are developing into AI infrastructures, it is crucial to deepen our understanding of their role as local actors. Julia Velkova, a leading figure in data center research from the University of Linköping and a long-term collaborator, highlights significant aspects of Nordic data centers. Warning: reading this blog post may cause a shift in your perspective.

Truly interesting piece of writing about the materiality of data industry, what types local actors tech giants are. Worth reading. #dataeconomy #techgiants #nordic #values #infrastructure

What has Vikings to do with data centers? Come and listen to the panel I will be participating in at #dcw2024, at the 23rd of May, in Frankfurt, about the topic:"Combined Heat Compute - Challenges & Opportunities Through AI", where I will further elaborate on this topic. Humble to be together with my fellow panelists, Deborah Andrews, David G., Henrik Børling and Stefan Frenzel at the 2nd day, at 11:25 o'clock (CET), at the Emmy Noether Energy Theatre, where I will be representing RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and Swedish Data Center Industry. Please feel free to reach out to me if you fancy an exchange in person in Frankfurt. #sustainability #datacenter #bigdata #colocation #hyperscaler #research #innovation #hpc #cloudnative #combinedheatcompute #chc #energyefficiency #decarbonization #scope3 #renewableenergy #circulareconomy #opensource #heatharvesting #opensourcehardware #esg #esgreporting #EED #EUregulations #EUcommission #EnergyEfficiencyDirective #certification #cybersecurity #AI #generativeAI #nextgendatacenters #digitalinfrastructure #RISE #SweDCI

Technology is changing the world in ways we never imagined - from launching Super Heavy rockets into space to sharing cat memes on Social Media, to building solutions that hold governments accountable, the impact is everywhere. Inspired by the SpaceX launch this past May, I wrote a piece on how we, the Public and Private Development Centre (PPDC), are using technology to bridge the gap between government and citizens - because using technology to drive citizen participation & government accountability shouldn't be rocket science. Curious? Read here on the PPDC Blog (https://lnkd.in/dsb4PVbR)

Data decentralization empowers intelligence at the edge, paving the way for a more secure and efficient future. Kaushal Vora, Sr. Director, Head of Business Acceleration & Ecosystem, shared how decentralized intelligence is underpinning AIoT and igniting a new age of computing possibilities in a recent Microwaves & RF article.

Congratulations Ayan Mukhopadhyay for winning a National Science Foundation (NSF) Civic Innovation Challenge Grant. Along with Dan Work, William Barbour and Meiyi Ma the Institute for Software Integrated Systems, Vanderbilt University team is collaborating with Nashville Department of Transportation to tackle the challenges of right-of-way closures, which disrupt traffic, safety, and local businesses due to construction and other activities. Through this project, the team will develop AI-driven solutions to automate the detection of permit violations and optimize future permit issuance. This project includes advanced research in neural networks, data integration, and urban digital twin technology, aiming to create a scalable framework that can improve traffic management and urban planning.
