This excellent session from Graduate School USDA provides practical knowledge on how generative AI can actually help government employees today. From drafting and summarizing to research, analysis, and workflow acceleration, the discussion focuses on real-world use cases. The webinar is a strong reminder that AI literacy is no longer optional—it’s becoming a core competency for modern public service. If you work in government, policy, IT, or leadership, this is a solid example of how training organizations like Graduate School USA are helping agencies learn more about Generative AI. https://lnkd.in/eRGFCWSY I would love to hear what other colleagues recommend on good beginner classes for Generative AI in the comments. #GenerativeAI #AIinGovernment #GovTech #FederalWorkforce #AIAdoption #ResponsibleAI #AIEthics #PublicSectorInnovation #GraduateSchoolUSA #FutureOfWork

Excited to see Nirmata featured as part of this innovative ecosystem! The #PDE_Factory capability showcased by IBM is a great step forward in streamlining DevSecOps and compliance automation in real-time for federal agencies. Proud to collaborate alongside leaders like GitLab, Red Hat, Rancher, Anchore, and others in driving secure, AI-enabled software supply chains. Shiva Swaroopa - let’s explore how we can leverage this momentum in our region as well!

#convergence Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech has released QiliSDK, an open-source Python framework that unifies digital, analog, and hybrid quantum algorithm design within a single environment. The SDK serves as the entry point to Qilimanjaro’s multimodal quantum data center, connecting researchers to superconducting QPUs, analog QPUs, and classical HPC systems through the SpeQtrum platform. By supporting unified workflows, backend switching, and variational hybrid programming, QiliSDK aims to accelerate practical quantum computing and expand access to Qilimanjaro’s analog co-design approach.

Anthropic’s latest work on COBOL signals a meaningful shift in enterprise technology. AI is finally lowering the barriers that have kept critical legacy systems difficult to evolve for decades. How AI helps break the cost barrier to COBOL modernization: https://lnkd.in/gNeZ9TYr This shift isn’t something to fear. Technologies and capabilities like COBOL have served industries exceptionally well, and they continue to underpin many core systems. As organisations rethink their future, this is the moment to approach legacy with a fresh mindset — to explore how the same outcomes can be delivered in more scalable, flexible ways, and whether entirely new avenues and objectives can now be achieved. #AI #DigitalTransformation #EnterpriseTech #LegacySystems #TechRevolution #Claude #FutureOfWork #tech #digital #data

Quantum will fundamentally change our lives, and we are helping shape that future. In "Our Quantum Future", our leaders share their vision alongside Nobel laureates, scientists, and technology pioneers from across the globe. For Takahito Tokita, the future of quantum computing lies in building the technology with integrity, prioritizing quality, transparency, and early collaboration across industries to create strong foundations today for long-term impact. For Shintaro Sato, progress in quantum innovation depends on trust and deep ecosystem collaboration. Advancing this technology requires close cooperation between government, academia, and private companies to turn ambition into practical, reliable solutions. Participating in this documentary highlights our role in driving quantum advancement and reinforces our commitment to continuous innovation in this field. By combining quality, precision, and long-term vision, we are actively shaping the future of quantum computing. "Our Quantum Future" premiered this week for a selected audience and will be available soon. Discover the trailer here: https://okt.to/xU5FNi #QuantumComputing #OurQuantumFuture #Innovation

Three Steps to Make QC + AI a Reality: 1. Federal Backing Is Key: We need strong policy support. Including QC + AI initiatives in national quantum and AI strategies will provide critical funding and direction to scale solutions across sectors. 2. Fuel Academic R&D: The engine of innovation is research. Encouraging universities to focus on QC + AI education and collaborative research will build the talent pipeline and produce breakthrough insights. 3. Unite Industries: Tech doesn’t evolve in silos. Cross-sector collaboration is vital — whether it's for circuit design, chemical modelling, or climate forecasting, aligning AI and QC players will accelerate real-world applications. Why It Matters: Quantum + AI could redefine logistics, environmental modelling, energy systems, and even pharmaceuticals. Imagine better disaster prediction, efficient energy storage, or personalised medicine — powered by algorithms that classical computers simply can’t run What real-world challenge do you think Quantum + AI could solve first?
