Elsewhere in the issue, the City of Pittsburgh’s chief data officer talks about the work he is doing to deliver better public services to citizens with the help of data. This week’s Buyer’s Guide features the third and final instalment in our series advising enterprises on how to get started on using agentic artificial intelligence (AI) – with a look at the concept of creating AI factories to scale deployments.
