Beyond the Database, and beyond the Stream Processor: What's the Next Step for Data Management?
Databases have been around forever with the same shape: you make a request to your data and then you receive an answer. Now, stream processors came along with a different approach: data isn’t locked up, it is in motion. Understand how stream processors and databases relate and why there is an emerging new category of databases that focus on data that stays in place as well as data that moves.

Is Artificial Intelligence Closer to Common Sense?
Intelligent agents lack the common-sense knowledge they need to reason about the world. Traditionally, there have been two unsuccessful approaches to getting computers to reason about the world—symbolic logic and deep learning. A new project, called COMET, tries to bring these two approaches together. Although it has not yet succeeded, it offers the possibility of progress.

The Case for Explainable AI (XAI)
Artificial Neural Networks offer significant performance benefits compared to other methodologies, but often at the expense of interpretability. Black box algorithms have precipitated a number of high-profile controversies arising from the inability to understand their inner workings. The efforts seeking to provide more transparency in this regard is referred to as Explainable AI (XAI).

The First Wave of GPT-3 Enabled Applications Offer a Preview of Our AI Future
The first wave of GPT-3 powered applications are emerging. After priming of only a few examples, GPT-3 could write essays, answer questions, and even generate computer code! Furthermore, GPT-3 can perform algebraic calculations and language translations despite never being taught such concepts. However, GPT-3 is a black box with unpredictable outcomes. Developers must use it responsively.
