Show Notes In this conversation, Chris Yates and Simon Western discuss how organizations have become modern temples of power, shaping societal norms in positive and challenging ways. Organizations offer spaces to be productive, to deliver services and to provide meaning and development for individuals, yet they also can stifle individuality and feedback through corporate conformity. The podcast reflects on how art, small acts of kindness and ecosystems thinking are the leadership approaches that can transform organisations and liberate employees to engage relationally and realise their full potential. Chris questions traditional leadership models, highlighting the need to prioritize character over competence and move beyond the military-influenced structures that dominate corporate life. Leadership, they argue, is not about static positions but fluid relationships—emerging in unexpected places and shaped by small moments of humanity rather than grand, ego-driven achievements. The conversation also highlights the burden of projections on leaders, who risk becoming seduced by the images others place upon them. Looking ahead, Simon and Chris consider the future of leadership in a world that increasingly demands authenticity and interconnectedness. They call for a shift to eco-centric leadership,  one that embraces moral responsibility, acknowledges the social role of organizations, and also seeks inspiration from art to reimagine work and leadership. Chris closes by reminding us that the smallest acts of kindness and courage in the face of adversity can reshape leadership, organizations, and society itself. Key Reflections Organizations hold immense power as modern temples, shaping societal norms and driving change. Corporate cultures often enforce conformity, stifling individuality, feedback, and personal identity. Leadership discussions focus too much on competence and too little on the moral character of leaders. Leadership is not a fixed title but a fluid, relational process that can emerge from unexpected places. Leaders must resist being seduced by the projections and expectations placed upon them. The future of leadership requires shifting from ego-driven ambition to collective, eco-centric responsibility. True leadership is found not in grand gestures but in small, everyday acts of humanity. Creativity and art offers a powerful lens to rethink work, leadership, and our role in the world.

Send us a textWhat exactly is cloud networking? This seemingly simple question quickly descends into a fascinating philosophical debate as we welcome back Nico Vibert, Senior Staff Technical Marketing Engineer at Isovalent/Cisco, to tackle this identity crisis head-on.The conversation begins with a startling observation from Nico about analyst reports that group wildly different vendors together under the "cloud networking" umbrella. From there, we explore how defining cloud networking has become increasingly complex as technologies evolve and converge. We trace the origins back to AWS's introduction of VPC in 2009 and discuss how different cloud providers approach networking based on their unique company cultures.One clear consensus emerges: true cloud networking must be API-driven. Whether consumed directly via APIs or through infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform, programmability stands as a non-negotiable requirement. But beyond this foundation, the boundaries blur significantly when examining various technologies that might qualify.Does Kubernetes networking fall under the cloud networking umbrella? What about Middle Mile providers like Equinix or Megaport that physically connect clouds? Are CDNs part of cloud networking, or something entirely different? We dissect these questions without settling on definitive answers, highlighting how technology's rapid evolution makes categorization increasingly difficult.Looking ahead, we explore how AI is reshaping cloud networking in two critical ways: networks optimized for AI workloads and AI-enhanced network management. Cloud providers are investing billions in infrastructure upgrades, developing custom silicon to reduce dependency on GPU manufacturers, signaling massive transformation on the horizon.Whether you're a network engineer, cloud architect, or technology leader trying to understand this evolving landscape, this episode provides valuable perspective on cloud networking's past, present, and future directions.Connect with Nico: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolasvibert/Purchase Chris and Tim's new book on AWS Cloud Networking: https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Advanced-Networking-Certification-certification/dp/1835080839/ Check out the Fortnightly Cloud Networking Newshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1fkBWCGwXDUX9OfZ9_MvSVup8tJJzJeqrauaE6VPT2b0/Visit our website and subscribe: https://www.cables2clouds.com/Follow us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/cables2clouds.comFollow us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cables2clouds/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cables2cloudsMerch Store: https://store.cables2clouds.com/Join the Discord Study group: https://artofneteng.com/iaatj

A seminar on Ireland's energy future will discuss how regulation and infrastructural challenges in energy are negatively impacting economic growth in Ireland. Taking place on Wednesday 2 April and hosted by Engineers Ireland's Energy, Environment, and Climate Action Division, The Merging Energy Landscape - A Pivotal Shift in Industry to Address the Carbon Budget Challenge Seminar, will also highlight the challenges businesses face to reduce emissions, the pressure on industry to meet targets, and the impact on the environment and economy if we fall short. Speakers at the seminar will include Ciara Ahern, senior lecturer of Building Engineering, TU Dublin and Peter Lantry, Managing Director, Ireland, Equinix a global data centre provider. According to Ciara Ahern: "The future of smart buildings lies in their ability to act as flexible demand assets within our evolving energy systems. Yet, there is still a significant gap between where we are and where we need to be. "This seminar will explore how emerging guidelines, scalable solutions, and digital infrastructure can enable buildings to participate in energy markets - reducing carbon emissions and enhancing grid resilience while facilitating greater penetration of renewable energy." Equinix owns 268 data centres globally, including four retail colocation facilities and 2 xScale facilities in Dublin. Peter Lantry will discuss the need for Ireland to address existing barriers to further digital investment if the country is to avoid missing crucial economic opportunities. "Ireland, especially Dublin, has successfully attracted digital services companies, including data centres, over the past 40 years. The challenge now is how to keep pace with other tech nations amid energy distribution and supply issues that have deterred data centre development, which impacts Ireland's economy." Additional speakers at the seminar will include Conor Minogue, Senior Executive at IBEC discussing the business case for meeting climate action targets, and Heidi Duffy, Operations Environmental and Sustainability Manager at Iarnród Éireann, sharing insights on the challenges and solutions to the transition to sustainable public transport. This event will take place in Engineers Ireland, 22 Clyde Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. Tickets are available at www.engineersireland.ie or by following this link. See more stories here.

a Escola Politécnica de Enxeñería de Ferrol (EPEF) ha visto un resurgimiento en la demanda de ingenieros navales, con los graduados enfrentando una amplia gama de oportunidades laborales tanto en Galicia como en el extranjero. A pesar de la creencia común de que la ingeniería naval se limita a la construcción de barcos, los titulados de la EPEF tienen una formación tan sólida que pueden desarrollarse en otras industrias. Esto se ejemplifica con Pau Mestre, un ingeniero naval que, tras completar su máster en la EPEF, se trasladó a Milán para trabajar en Equinix, un gigante estadounidense especializado en centros de datos. Pau destaca la importancia de la formación práctica y rigurosa en la EPEF, que le permitió afrontar con éxito proyectos internacionales en diferentes países. Además, valora la experiencia de trabajar en el extranjero como una oportunidad para un rápido crecimiento profesional y personal.

Equinix, the world's digital infrastructure company, recently collaborated with fashion designer Maximilian Raynor to bring the internet to life at his debut 2025 London Fashion Week show. The opening exhibition of the show saw 'The Personification of the Internet' come to life as a dress - encapsulating the physical reality of the hidden networks that power our digital lives. The dress, made from 3.6kms of cabling used at Equinix data centres, weighed in at 25kg and took 640 hours to make. It highlighted that the internet doesn't reside in an invisible "cloud"; instead it relies on physical infrastructure that is all around us. It served as a powerful reminder of the intricate and unseen forces behind the intelligent age we live in. Speaking on his collaboration with Equinix, Maximilian Raynor said: "As a designer, you don't need access to the finest materials to create something beautiful. Often, the most unconventional materials, paired with a make-do-and-mend approach to design, can achieve really exciting outcomes. Working with these materials and discovering a new technique to bring them to life has been a joy." Bruce Owen, EMEA President at Equinix, explained: "By bridging the gap between the physical and virtual, we wanted to create something tangible that highlights the thousands of connections Equinix fosters to support economies and societies daily. "The design pays tribute to the physical infrastructure that constitutes the internet. Rather than being an inexplicable force, it is a complex, intricate network of cables traversing land and sea, with physical connections housed in Equinix data centres worldwide. "This campaign is a light hearted exploration of an important topic. We should celebrate the internet's tangible impact on daily life and business, as well as its crucial role to economies throughout the world. "Whether it's developing new drugs to combat diseases, facilitating online and in-store payments, or keeping people connected across the world, we seek to highlight the value that data centres bring to society and generate global awareness for our rapidly growing and essential industry."

You would never send a postcard instead of an email, create a zine instead of a white paper, or take polaroids instead of digital headshots. But that's why you, the digital marketer, should do it.There's an appeal to all of these lo-fi, analog mediums that call back to yesteryear. A nostalgia. A deliberate denial of modernity. Not only would it surprise your audience, it would lure them right in.So in this episode, we're making a case for lo-fi content. We're doing so by pulling marketing lessons from Ken Layne's Desert Oracle.With the help of our special guest, Chief Evangelist at Contentful, Nicole France, we talk about creating lo-fi content, bucking convention, taking a distinct perspective, and much more.About our guest, Nicole FranceNicole France is Chief Evangelist at Contentful. Nicole is a passionate customer advocate evangelizing new ways of thinking about content and organizing the work of digital business. It's the wave of the future — and her mission is to make sure everyone knows why. She brings the perspective and critical thinking of an industry analyst and the first-hand experience of a practitioner. Before joining Contentful, Nicole worked as an analyst at Constellation Research and Gartner. She also held a variety of strategy and marketing roles at Fujitsu, Equinix, ITSMA, and Cisco. A graduate of UC Berkeley, Nicole enjoys the outdoors, flying small planes, and embarking on yet another house project in her spare time.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Desert Oracle:Create lo-fi content. Make a zine, a radio show or podcast, a book or comic book. Something your audience can touch and can use to get a bit deeper into your world. Make your brand real for them. Nicole says that when it comes to Desert Oracle, “There's something here that kind of harkens back to what the arts and crafts movement was. In the industrial revolution, you know, this idea of kind of going back to this craft, this artisanal, this very human, this very lo-fi way of doing things. And ironically enough, I think there's a real space for that, even in these digital channels.”Buck convention. Feeling disillusioned with the mainstream take on building an audience? Ken Layne grows his audience by creating niche, tangible content with a strong sense of place and it has garnered a dedicated following. In 2024, 44% of Spotify listeners were new to the Desert Oracle podcast, and it ranked among the top 5 or top 10 podcasts for 5,000 listeners. Nicole says, “ [Ken Layne] is actively rejecting conventional wisdom about how you build an audience. And yet that is absolutely part of what is making him successful at doing it. And it's almost like the extent to which I think of Patagonia a lot of times in this kind of context, where Patagonia is telling you, like, use the stuff you already have. And that somehow is part of what makes you want to keep going back to Patagonia. This is what makes people so loyal to Patagonia is the bigger mission. And like weirdly telling people not to buy it somehow is what makes them want to go and buy more, which is sort of, but not actually their intent.”Take a distinct perspective. What is the story that is unique to you? That's the story you want to tell. Nicole says, “ That distinctiveness in that perspective and that point of view, I think that's something that really effective brands gravitate toward anyway. They're good at it consciously and sometimes unconsciously as well. And I think B2B marketing needs more of that. You know, where what we offer our customers, regardless of what we're selling is typically not generic stuff. So why should our marketing sound like generic stuff? And yet a whole hell of a lot of it does. For a long time, we've been in a world where there's a tremendous volume of noise and the kinds of things that get cut through are things like Ken Layne's curmudgeonly, somewhat dismissive and yet somehow totally compelling take on the world. That's what draws people in."Curate an experience. Ken Layne curates an experience that captures the mystical nature of Joshua Tree and the greater Mojave Desert. And he does it by appealing to the senses - more than just the sight that digital content requires. You hear the voices of the desert through his podcast and radio show. You can hold an artifact of the desert: the Desert Oracle zine. His multimedia approach creates a world unique to Desert Oracle. And you get the inside scoop. Nicole says, “ There is a very specific point of view, it is Ken Layne's point of view. But he also brings in a bunch of stories from other people and from other places and sometimes from other times as well.  he's curating an experience for you. And I think that is a really powerful takeaway here.”Quotes*” What Ken Layne does with Desert Oracle is paint this very compelling picture of a place. In some cases, a literal place, like when he's hiking out in Joshua tree, or in some cases, it's more of almost like a spiritual place, a conceptual place that we want to be in.*” How do we get back in touch with the things that are really fundamental, that really are the most important in our existence and nature and, you know, as people? And then how do we associate those meaningful things with what we do in the rest of our lives?”*” [Ken Layne] is actively rejecting conventional wisdom about how you build an audience. And yet that is absolutely part of what is making him successful at doing it. And it's almost like the extent to which I think of Patagonia a lot of times in this kind of context, where Patagonia is telling you, like, use the stuff you already have. And that somehow is part of what makes you want to keep going back to Patagonia. This is what makes people so loyal to Patagonia is the bigger mission. And like weirdly telling people not to buy it somehow is what makes them want to go and buy more, which is sort of, but not actually their intent.”*” When you have a really compelling idea or message at the core, you can find all of these different ways of communicating it really effectively.”*” We found the podcast and then we found the publication. And I guess it really speaks to this idea that multimedia is everywhere. It's in a whole bunch of different stuff. And I think that is actually a really important message and takeaway here, too.  I think that  this idea of being able to explore different aspects of the story and the story world is really key.  Knowing where your audience is, but also being able to bring your audience to where you are, or where you want them to be.  Like, I have totally been brought in and then bought into the world of Desert Oracle. How I got there is almost immaterial, but like there are all these different places that I'm getting this enjoyment from, being part of that world and I feel like I have found a path that brought me in there.”*”[Desert Oracle] is not for everybody for sure, but boy, it creates an incredibly loyal and dedicated audience. That's actually what we want to do as B2B marketers as well.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Nicole France, Chief Evangelist at Contentful[3:45] Nicole France's Role at Contentful[4:54] The Creation of Desert Oracle[7:07] Ken Layne's Career Journey[10:17] Marketing Lessons from Desert Oracle[13:57] The Power of Authenticity in Marketing[14:49] The Role of Generative AI in Marketing[39:06] The Importance of Longevity in Content Creation[41:34] Final Thoughts and ConclusionLinksConnect with Nicole on LinkedInLearn more about ContentfulAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Pháp không muốn bị thụt lùi so với Mỹ và Trung Quốc trong cuộc đua Trí tuệ Nhân tạo - AI. Tuần lễ và Thượng đỉnh Hành động về AI - đồng tổ chức với Ấn Độ - ở Paris là cơ hội để Pháp bảo vệ chủ quyền kỹ thuật số, đặc biệt với những thông báo quan trọng của tổng thống Emmanuel Macron : 109 tỉ euro đầu tư vào AI tại Pháp, quảng bá "sản phẩm Pháp" - chatbot Le Chat của Mistral AI, hiện trở thành đối tác của nhiều tập đoàn lớn. Trong ba ngày sau khi được tổng thống Pháp quảng bá trong buổi trả lời phỏng vấn với đài France 2 (ngày 09/02), Le Chat trở thành ứng dụng được tải nhiều nhất trên Apple Store. Ứng dụng Pháp, cạnh tranh với ChatGPT của Mỹ và DeepSeek của Trung Quốc, đã tóm tắt buổi phỏng vấn của tổng thống Macron theo yêu cầu của RFI Tiếng Việt :« Trả lời phỏng vấn đài France 2, tổng thống Emmanuel Macron thông báo khoản đầu tư lớn 109 tỉ euro trong lĩnh vực AI tại Pháp. Quỹ này được hình thành từ nhiều nguồn đóng góp khác nhau, trong đó có Ả Rập Xê Út, Canada, nhiều doanh nghiệp Pháp và nước ngoài.Tổng thống Macron cũng nhấn mạnh tầm quan trọng của việc quản lý AI toàn cầu, nói rằng mọi nội dung do phần mềm AI tạo ra phải được xác định rõ ràng. Ông kêu gọi một chiến lược AI đầy tham vọng, ở cả cấp độ Pháp và châu Âu, với các mục tiêu xã hội, kinh tế và ngoại giao.Tổng thống cũng nhấn mạnh đến chatbot “Le Chat”, do công ty khởi nghiệp Mistral AI của Pháp phát triển, đồng thời kêu gọi người dân Pháp tải xuống. Ứng dụng này được giới thiệu là đối thủ cạnh tranh của ChatGPT.Cuối cùng, ông Macron bày tỏ sự lạc quan về tác động của AI đối với việc làm, tin rằng sự phát triển của công nghệ sẽ giải phóng thời gian bằng cách phân công các nhiệm vụ lặp đi lặp lại, giúp "đưa yếu tố con người trở lại" trong các mối quan hệ ».Điểm đặc biệt là Le Chat dẫn ngay các nguồn được sử dụng ngay dưới câu trả lời để người sử dụng dễ kiểm chứng. Và ứng dụng Le Chat khẳng định trả lời được bằng tiếng Việt và sử dụng các nguồn tiếng Việt.Pháp “chán” phải chạy theo Mỹ và Trung QuốcKhoản đầu tư 109 tỉ euro trong vòng 5 năm tới được tổng thống Macron thông báo nhằm mục đích giúp Pháp duy trì « cuộc đua về Trí tuệ Nhân tạo », « sáng tạo những giải pháp, những công nghệ riêng, nếu không, sẽ bị phụ thuộc vào những nước khác » :« Chúng ta (Pháp và châu Âu) có những lợi thế tuyệt vời. Phải nói là tất cả các nước đều bị trễ so với Hoa Kỳ và Trung Quốc. Do đó, về đào tạo, chúng ta có những quan hệ đối tác, như với Ấn Độ, một cường quốc về đào tạo Trí tuệ Nhân tạo. Chúng ta đã đào tạo 40.000 thanh niên trong lĩnh vực Trí tuệ Nhân tạo nhưng con số này sẽ tăng lên thành 100.000 người. Chúng ta cũng có những nhà khoa học về dữ liệu, những nhà toán học. Pháp có rất nhiều tài năng. Và đó là một sức mạnh to lớn. Nhưng Pháp cũng bị thụt lùi về các trung tâm dữ liệu, có nghĩa là khả năng tính toán. Để làm được việc này, cần phải có những siêu máy tính, thu thập khối lượng dữ liệu lớn. Và cần khẩn trương thực hiện. Do đó, tôi muốn thông báo tối nay rằng châu Âu và Pháp sẽ thúc đẩy tiến trình này. Pháp thông báo tại Thượng đỉnh Hành động về Trí tuệ Nhân tạo 109 tỉ euro đầu tư vào lĩnh vực AI trong những năm tới. Đây là chuyện chưa từng có. Khoản đầu tư này tương xứng với những thông báo của Mỹ về quỹ Stargate với 500 tỉ đô la đầu tư. Trong số các nhà đầu tư, Các Tiểu Vương Quốc Ả Rập Thống Nhất đầu tư vào một trung tâm dữ liệu lớn ở Pháp. Ngoài ra còn có những quỹ đầu tư lớn của Mỹ, Canada cùng với rất nhiều doanh nghiệp Pháp ». Đọc thêm : AI : Bài toán khó để Pháp và Liên Âu không bị loại khỏi bàn cờ quốc tế về Trí tuệ Nhân tạoCụ thể, theo trang Les Echos, Quỹ MGX của Các Tiểu Vương Quốc Ả Rập Thống Nhất đầu tư 50 tỉ euro xây dựng một trung dữ liệu lớn có công suất 1 GW. Trên tổng số 20 tỉ euro đầu tư vào AI tại Pháp, quỹ đầu tư Canada Brookfieal dành 15 tỉ euro để xây dựng nhiều trung tâm dữ liệu, trong đó có một trung tâm có công suất 1 GW ở Cambrai, nơi trở thành phòng thí nghiệm ở miền bắc Pháp. Theo điện Elysée, « những dự án này cho thấy lực hấp dẫn của Pháp, cũng như chất lượng mạng lưới điện và đường truyền internet, đủ lớn và vững chắc để tiếp nhận tất cả những nhà máy về AI trong tương lai ».Ngoài ra, rất nhiều dự án xây dựng mới liên quan đến AI cũng được các quỹ đầu tư Fluidstack của Anh, Equinix, Digital Realty và Prologis của Mỹ, Evroc của Thụy Điển, Sesterce của Pháp lần lượt thông báo tại Thượng đỉnh Hành động về AI. Công ty khởi nghiệp Mistral AI, chủ sở hữu Le Chat, cũng thông báo « đầu tư vài tỉ euro » vào một trung tâm dữ liệu lớn, được đặt tại Saclay, khu đại học nổi tiếng ở tỉnh Essonne, ngoại ô Paris.Le Chat - cạnh tranh với DeepSeek và ChatGPT Phần mềm Le Chat là sản phẩm của Mistral AI, start-up được cho là còn non trẻ so với những đối thủ. Arthur Mensch, từng làm việc cho Google và DeepMind và hai cộng sự Guillaume Lample và Timothée Lacroix, từng làm việc cho Meta, thành lập Mistral AI tháng 04/2023 và đã kêu gọi được đầu tư hơn 6 tỉ euro. Bộ trưởng Kinh Tế Éric Lombard không ngần ngại quảng bá cho « sản phẩm Pháp » là đã chuẩn bị một buổi phỏng vấn nhờ ứng dụng Le Chat. Cách thực hiện giống như « kiểu đóng vai », theo giải thích của nhà sáng lập Arthur Mensch khi trả lời phỏng vấn đài France 2 ngày 10/02 :« Le Chat có thể tìm những câu hỏi ở đâu ư ? Phần mềm Le Chat thông minh, nên cô đọng được kiến ​​thức nhân loại. Le Chat biết y học là gì, lịch sử là gì và truyền thông là gì. Le Chat cũng biết tất cả các ngôn ngữ nên có thể dùng ứng dụng này để dịch mọi thứ. Và khi bạn đưa ra chỉ dẫn, chẳng hạn như tôi phải chuẩn bị cho một cuộc phỏng vấn, Le Chat có thể giải thích chuẩn bị một cuộc phỏng vấn như thế nào, hình dung ra những câu hỏi và giúp chuẩn bị. Đó là một ví dụ có có thể truyền tải nhanh trong giáo dục. Ví dụ một sinh viên ngành toán hay triết học có thể nhờ Le Chat đặt câu hỏi ôn tập và về lâu dài là để củng cố kiến thức của mình. Đúng là có trường hợp gian lận, nhờ Le Chat làm hộ bài tập. Nhưng cần phải đặt câu hỏi là tại sao phải làm bài tập ? Đó là để học hỏi điều gì đó. Cho nên cần phải coi trí tuệ nhân tạo mà Le Chat cung cấp là một cách học nhanh hơn, không phải để gian lận. Cần phải giữ đúng mục đích chính của việc làm bài tập, chứ không đề cao vào thành phẩm cuối cùng ». Đọc thêm : Trí tuệ Nhân tạo và những rủi ro khó có thể kiểm soátPháp cần tập thể để cạnh tranh Trước khi diễn ra Thượng đỉnh Hành động về Trí tuệ Nhân tạo, Pháp cũng như Liên Hiệp Châu Âu hứng cú sốc DeepSeek. Ông Bruno Bonnell, tổng thư ký France 2030 - kế hoạch tài chính của Pháp về khả năng cạnh tranh - thừa nhận : « DeepSeek giống như lời cảnh tỉnh mà chúng ta cần ». Mô hình AI tạo sinh từ Trung Quốc được quảng bá ít tốn kém hơn rất nhiều nhưng hiệu quả hoàn toàn không kém nếu so sánh với những khoản tiền khổng lồ được đổ vào các tập đoàn AI của Mỹ.Arthur Mensch, nhà đồng sáng lập công ty Mistral AI, giải thích Le Chat, được khởi động cùng lúc với DeepSeek của Trung Quốc, có lợi thế về chi phí thấp hơn so với những ứng dụng của Mỹ. Điều này cho thấy Pháp cũng như châu Âu có điều kiện tham gia cuộc đua AI :« Tôi nghĩ châu Âu có vai trò thực sự, đặc biệt là vì có nguồn nhân tài đặc biệt đáng chú ý, điều này cho phép chúng ta hiệu quả hơn nhiều so với các đối thủ cạnh tranh ở Mỹ trong việc xây dựng công nghệ, với chi phí ít hơn. Vì thế phải vun đắp lợi thế này và cũng tương tự như vậy trong môi trường AI. Quá trình này sẽ được xây dựng nhanh hơn nếu các công ty châu Âu nhận ra rằng họ có lợi khi hợp tác với các doanh nghiệp châu Âu khác để đẩy nhanh lộ trình Trí tuệ Nhân tạo của mình. Và vì thế châu Âu thực sự có vai trò quan trọng với phần còn lại của thế giới. Ví dụ, chúng tôi đã mở chi nhánh tại Singapore và có những khách hàng đầu tiên ở đó. Có thể thấy là có một cơ hội thực sự, không phải của Mỹ và không phải của Trung Quốc ». Đọc thêm : Trí tuệ Nhân tạo : Hủy hoại hay thân thiện với môi trường ?Dù được cho là phong phú nhưng hệ sinh thái công nghệ châu Âu vẫn còn khiêm tốn so với những gã khổng lồ Trung Quốc và Mỹ. Theo Les Echos, chỉ cần nhìn vào những định giá toàn cầu lớn nhất để thấy châu Âu vắng bóng như thế nào. Pháp, nơi có khoảng 750 start-up về AI với 35.000 người làm việc trong lĩnh vực này, không giấu tham vọng muốn đứng đầu Liên Âu về AI. Tuy nhiên, khi trả lời RFI ngày 10/02, bà Anne Bouverot, đặc phái viên của tổng thống Pháp về Thượng đỉnh Hành động về Trí tuệ Nhân tạo, lưu ý đến tinh thần « tập thể » :« Có những chuyện người ta không thể làm một mình. Dĩ nhiên Pháp có tham vọng đứng đầu về Trí tuệ Nhân tạo và Pháp có nhiều lợi thế. Người ta nói đến Mistral hoặc các công ty khởi nghiệp như Hugging Face, poolside, Pigment… có tầm quan trọng trong lĩnh vực AI, cũng như những tài năng, những nhà nghiên cứu, kĩ sư một cách rất ấn tượng. Chúng ta có vị thế tốt về Trí tuệ Nhân tạo. Nhưng khi nhìn vào những khoản đầu tư cần thiết để phát triển AI thì có rất nhiều việc phải làm theo tập thể, ở tầm mức châu Âu ».Tổng thống Macron muốn Pháp và Liên Hiệp Châu Âu tiến nhanh theo « mô hình tái thiết nhà thờ Đức Bà Paris » trong 5 năm, huy động mọi nguồn lực để bù khoảng thời gian chậm trễ so với Mỹ và Trung Quốc. Theo chuyên gia Charleyne Biondi, Viện Montaigne, châu Âu hiện chỉ chiếm 18% trung tâm dữ liệu trên thế giới, chưa đầy 5% trong số này là thuộc về các doanh nghiệp châu Âu, phần còn lại đều thuộc về các đại tập đoàn Mỹ như AWS, Google và Microsoft Azure. Ngày 11/02, chủ tịch Ủy Ban Châu Âu Ursula von der Leyen công bố một « chiến lược châu Âu về AI » với ngân sách 200 tỉ euro, mục đích là để « tăng tốc », « đơn giản hóa quy định » và « tăng cường thị trường chung duy nhất », cùng với nhiều biện pháp khác.

Paige Rodgers, Director of the Equinix Foundation & Equinix Community Impact, joins the show to share how she got into corporate impact, the theory of change, and the importance of integrating social impact, ESG, and other impact functions into a company's DNA.

Equinix, the digital infrastructure company, has launched a guide to encourage effective and efficient management of digital files, and raise awareness of how this can support mental wellbeing. Many of us are hoarding tens - or even hundreds - of thousands of photos, emails, and documents, never to be viewed again. Dr Susan Albers, a clinical psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic, recently stated that storing too many digital items on our devices can lead to anxiety and stress. In fact, she says, it can be just as stressful as having a cluttered home, as our brains yearn for simplicity. In reality, our digital clutter does have a physical presence… in data centres. Equinix has approximately 270 data centres around the world with an extraordinary amount of data flowing through them. Digital infrastructure, serving as the backbone of today's economy, encompasses connectivity that touches our everyday lives. It connects all of our digital devices and enables everything from online banking to improved health diagnoses, to communicating with friends and family, and getting us to work (think: digital travelcards, wallets, alarms and our entertainment or email-checking on the way into the office). While data has brought untold benefits to human capabilities and our societies, the amount of information and images we are exposed to everyday can be overwhelming. To address this issue, Equinix has teamed up with Sarah Reynolds, founder of Organised Chaos, a company helping individuals to unclutter their daily lives - both physically and virtually. Top 10 Tips for digital wellness: 1- Make a checklist. Make a list of everything you want to clear out. This could be photos and videos, emails, drives, or apps on your phone. Then target one area at a time, once per week. By working on just one area at a time, you will focus the mind. Within two months, with consistency, you will find yourself in much better shape. 2 - Streamline your photos and videos. Photos and videos are one of the main culprits of device clutter, causing undue stress and frustration when a person can't find the file they are looking for. This can be made more manageable by creating folders - using dates or categories - on your device, or through a secure third-party storage application. While you're organising, why not create a "Print" folder - next time you are at a shop, you can print the items in the folder and enjoy your best snaps. Once you have organised and categorised the images you want to keep, you can delete any unwanted or duplicated files. Result: less stuff holding you back and less cost for storage! 3- Aim for inbox zero. Newsletters and email alerts are a major factor in clogging up inboxes, but inbox zero is possible! Many email providers offer notifications for when you are subscribing to email updates you don't read. There are also apps available that can unsubscribe you in bulk. This will help to streamline existing emails. Then, make yourself a policy that every time you receive an email you know you don't want to read, unsubscribe immediately. Additionally, consider a separate email address only to be used for subscriptions. For emails you want to keep, use your folder system to categorise emails by topic or sender. 4 - Organise your computer - desktop, downloads and files. Just as a countertop is not for storing items from the kitchen and things with no 'home', or a desk surface is not for storing office items (this may come as a surprise to some!) - a desktop is not for storing digital files. Start your desktop cleanup by sorting everything into folders. Then, take a look at your downloaded files, which can often be a source of digital junk!

Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management and automation, has positioned itself at the forefront of the AI revolution with the launch of its first-ever virtual broadcast dedicated to artificial intelligence. The event spotlighted Schneider's innovative strategies and groundbreaking technologies aimed at transforming data centres to meet the ever growing demands of AI. The AI Era: A New Industrial Revolution Pankaj Sharma, Executive Vice President of Data Centers & Networks at Schneider Electric, opened the broadcast with a bold declaration, "At Schneider Electric, we see the AI revolution as the next industrial revolution." Sharma emphasized the urgent need to scale data center operations swiftly and sustainably. "We must scale quickly, while remaining sustainable, equip data centers with flexible infrastructure and source power for resiliency," he added. The surge in AI adoption has led to a rapid expansion in global data center power demands, projected to double between 2022 and 2026. With AI workloads requiring immense computational power, cooling systems, and energy resources, the industry faces unprecedented challenges in maintaining efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Innovations Powering the AI Transformation Schneider Electric announced several key advancements during the broadcast. Among the highlights was the launch of the Galaxy VXL UPS, the world's first modular and scalable uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed specifically for AI data centers. Capable of delivering up to 1.25 MW of power, the Galaxy VXL UPS reduces its carbon footprint by 38% compared to traditional systems and leverages an eco-mode feature to cut operating expenses by more than 50%. Another milestone was Schneider's recent acquisition of Motivair, a leading company in liquid cooling and thermal management solutions. This acquisition bolsters Schneider's capability to deliver end-to-end solutions for AI data centers, encompassing energy systems from the "grid to the chip" and cooling systems from the "chip to the chiller." Liz O'Sullivan, NVIDIA Alliance Leader at Schneider Electric, also unveiled a new collaboration with NVIDIA to create reference designs for sustainable, liquid-cooled AI clusters capable of supporting up to 132 kW per rack. "This reference design will enable operators with a tested architecture and design that supports NVIDIA's new Blackwell chip," said O'Sullivan. Meeting the Challenges of AI Growth The rapid expansion of AI workloads is reshaping the data center landscape. Jim Simonelli, Chief Technology Officer of Data Centers & Networks at Schneider Electric, highlighted the scale of this transformation, "We expect between 100 and 150 GW of data centers will be built in the next five years, 60% of which will be dedicated to AI." However, this growth comes with significant environmental and operational challenges. Aparna Prabhakar, Senior Vice President of Strategy & Sustainability for Data Centers & Networks, spoke about the dual impact of AI. "AI is acting as a double-edged sword," she said, "On one hand, AI drives efficiencies in our business, increasing productivity and speed. On the other, AI workloads require far more power, generate more heat, and demand greater cooling, leading to a spike in energy usage and emissions." Schneider Electric is tackling these challenges head-on with ambitious sustainability goals. The company has pledged to reduce CO2 emissions from its top 1,000 suppliers by 50% by 2025, a target it is well on its way to achieving, with a 33% reduction already realized. In recognition of these efforts, Schneider Electric was named the world's most sustainable company in June 2024 by Time magazine and Statista. Energy Efficiency in Action Schneider Electric's sustainable approach has already delivered measurable results for industry leaders. In partnership with Equinix, a global data center provider, Schneider implemented an energy contract and power purchase agreement ...

"Aue, aue... when it's time to find home, we know the way." ⛵️ // For the island nation of Tuvalu, the effects of climate change are more than a warning; they're an eviction notice. Estimates vary as to when the small chain of coral islands could vanish beneath the waves, but experts agree that Tuvalu may be uninhabitable long before then, prompting its people to set sail for a new frontier… the metaverse. Within this digital landscape, Tuvalu could potentially preserve its lands, heritage, and governance, effectively pioneering a new model for nationhood, in which a nation and its people exist in two realms—physical and virtual. But how does one go from sand to silicon while maintaining the essence of a culture? And what is the real-world environmental impact of storing a nation's worth of data? Whether we take Tuvalu's proposal literally or view it as a symbolic call to action, unpacking the logistics of such an ambitious project offers a glimpse at the expertise required to bring it to life—from tech experts grappling with blockchain governance to cultural preservationists digitizing traditional art and oral histories. The work forces us to ask: Can you really backup a country the way you backup a computer? And if so, what does that mean for the future of nationhood, identity, and the planet itself?Additional ResourcesEpisode transcriptsConnect with Grace Andrews: LinkedIn.Connect with Amy Tobey on LinkedIn.Connect with Mathr de Leon on LinkedIn.Connect with David M.
