Top 5 stories of the week: AI news for Google, Nvidia, AT&T and Siemens
Join us on November 9 to learn how to successfully innovate and gain efficiencies by improving and scaling citizen developers at the Low-Code/No-Code Summit. Register here.
It was apparently AI race week, and Google, Nvidia, AT&T, Siemens, and your local retailer were all there. In pole position, Google hosted an AI event on Wednesday. In addition to announcing the company's recent advancements in AI technology, CEO Sundar Pichai made the case for responsible AI, saying, "We see so many opportunities ahead and we we are committed to ensuring that technology is designed to help people, like any transformational business. Technology."
Nvidia entered the voice AI race (currently dominated by Google and Meta) by partnering with Mozilla Common Voice. The goal of the partnership is to use crowdsourced content to create automatic speech recognition models that can work universally for speakers of languages around the world.
"Demographic diversity is key to capturing linguistic diversity," said Caroline de Brito Gottlieb, Product Manager at Nvidia, "...we aim to create an ecosystem of datasets that helps communities build speech datasets and models for any language or context."
Speaking of AI and racing, AT&T has emerged as a surprise competitor in the AI-as-a-Service market. Perhaps that's not so surprising - as a legacy company, AT&T had a lot of legacy tech debt to manage. So, as the company modernized its tech stack, it took that knowledge and turned it into a process to package and sell to other companies.

Over the past two years, Siemens has transitioned its digital twin portfolio to an industrial metaverse cloud platform and now offers it as a SaaS. Most companies expect to suffer a temporary loss of revenue when transitioning to a new business model, but Siemens has capitalized on what Cedrik Neike, CEO of Siemens Digital Industries, has called "the bottle effect of ketchup".
Here are more of our top 5 tech stories of the week:
Siemens Digital Industries grew revenue from around $15 billion a year to $20 billion in just two years after transitioning its portfolio of digital twins to an industrial cloud metaverse called Siemens Xcelerator.< /p>
Siemens has one of the most comprehensive portfolios of simulation, optimization, test and design tools for bridging digital twins. For example, its PLCs in the factory generate terabytes of data that can calibrate a production digital twin with live data from the factory. This can help teams find bottlenecks and detect quality defects.
"Everyone was talking about automation and digital twins, but now they're investing in it," said Cedrik Neike, CEO of Siemens Digital Industries.
At a Google AI event held at the company's Pier 57 offices in New York, Google announced various advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), including in the areas of generative AI, language translation, AI for health and disaster management.
The event also focused on a discussion around his efforts to build responsible AI, particularly around control and safety, help identify generative AI, and "build for everyone ".
