How the RAC offers a shorter road to recovery
In this week’s edition of Computer Weekly, we take a look at how roadside recovery and car repair organisation, the RAC, is combining data analytics and AI to help speed up the time it takes to get motorists back on the road.

This week’s buyer’s guide features the first instalment in our series on self-service developer tools, and how enterprises can make use of them to boost staff morale and trust. Rounding out the issue is our look at AI agents and how they are being misappropriated by cyber criminals. Read the issue now. Continue Reading
