With all the buzz around Generative AI, it’s easy to forget that it’s just one type of artificial intelligence. Time Series, Geospatial, Computer Vision, and Graph AI are also growing fast—sometimes even faster than GenAI— particularly in sectors where real-time predictions and pattern recognition are business-critical.

Take Computer Vision: you've seen it in action in manufacturing, retail, and in medical imaging. But Time Series AI? It's not grabbing headlines, yet it's quietly driving massive outcomes behind the scenes. So What Is Time Series AI?

There have been growing calls to counter China's rise in technological advancements, especially in realms like AI. But what exactly are the risks to Americans? NTD spoke with Rex Lee.

As organizations embrace the democratization of AI, they often overlook the messy realities lurking just beyond the pilot projects and training sessions. Giving end users the tools to build and deploy their own AI agents sounds empowering—and in many ways it is—but without careful design, clear governance, and shared intent, it also invites a wave of unintended consequences. Before celebrating the creativity unleashed by user-developed agents, it’s worth stepping back and asking: how might this new autonomy create conflict, confusion, and risk inside the enterprise? Here’s a closer look at how agents can go wrong.
