Open Data Platform with connected applications and agentic AI

How the CM Baseline and Agentic AI enables the future of Enterprise applications.

Rob Ferrone’s and Oleg Shilovitsky’s LinkedIn bromance 😉 has resulted in an interesting post by Oleg: How to Build PLM Applications We Love Using AI. His premise (my interpretation) is to build Minimum Loveable PLM applications as small applications supported by AI that fulfill a specific purpose using data from a shared data platform. No MVPs, but MLPs! Around the same time, Michael Finocchario published The Agentic AI Revolution: Reimagining PLM as… Read More »How the CM Baseline and Agentic AI enables the future of Enterprise applications.

CM+AI: A Day in the Future Life of a Configuration Manager

On Wednesday 15 May I presented CM+AI: A Day in the Future Life of a Configuration Manager during the IpX International CM2 Congress. For those who missed it here is what I presented. Note that this presentation is also a tribute to Mike McKinney and Chrissy Sigrist for their contribution to the world of CM.  What is AI? According Microsoft AI is: It’s the capability of a computer system to… Read More »CM+AI: A Day in the Future Life of a Configuration Manager

Boost your Knowledge Graph with Events to gain Untapped Insights

This article will explore another use case to extend the knowledge graph of the CM Baseline, where we will not only look at the product data to create a kind of product 360 but also all the process and event data related to this product data. By adding events as nodes into a Knowledge Graph, you show events of a specific product data node, but also the interactions between these… Read More »Boost your Knowledge Graph with Events to gain Untapped Insights

Artificial Intelligent Impact Analysis

How ChatGPT will reshape Impact Analysis

Since my last article (16 Ways Large Language Models (Like ChatGPT) impact Configuration Management), OpenAI has released GPT-4 generating even better results than GPT-3.5, which many of us experienced using ChatGPT. Time to dig a little deeper into how Large Language Models (LLMs) could bring us assisted Impact Analysis capabilities. What are Large Language Models (LLMs)? Most of you will have heard something about ChatGPT. But in case you do not know what a… Read More »How ChatGPT will reshape Impact Analysis

Large Language Models

16 Ways Large Language Models (like ChatGPT) impact Configuration Management

With Google announcing Bard, Microsoft integrating OpenAI’s Large Language Model into Bing, and Baidu announcing their Ernie Bot, OpenAI with their ChatGPT initiated the battle of the Large Language Models (LLMs). The question now is how will these Large Language Models impact Configuration Management.  I’m curious to see how, in the next years, this will influence the way we do Configuration Management. Some of my fellow bloggers have already shared their thoughts on the subject: Jos… Read More »16 Ways Large Language Models (like ChatGPT) impact Configuration Management

What is the configuration when the product has an AI?

In my previous article, I wrote about Export Control and Machine Learning, where it can be very difficult to determine how Export Rules apply in complex cases like Federated Learning. This series of articles was triggered by the excellent podcast ‘Maintaining the Physics Model within AI & ML’ Pt1 and Pt2 by Arnaud Hubaux from ASML and Max Gravel from IpX and the video from Arnaud on Taming the AI Demon to sustain innovation.  This article will explore the question: What is the configuration of… Read More »What is the configuration when the product has an AI?

Arnaud Hubaux from ASML and Max Gravel from IpX talk about ‘Maintaining the Physics Model within AI & ML’ in this excellent 2 part Podcast: Pt1 and Pt2 In another video, Arnaud shares his thoughts on Taming the AI Demon to sustain innovation, where he states that Machine Learning is a commodity. If you want to learn how to be successful in your AI journey, make sure you watch these very intriguing videos! One of the points Arnaud brings up during part… Read More »Export Control and Machine Learning (ML)

Applying AI/ML to Configuration Management

Aras CTO Rob McAveney presented the Aras Vision on Wednesday 11 November 2020 at the Aras Digital 2020 – Europe virtual event. During the Q&A he explained that AI/ML (artificial intelligence and machine learning) would change the way we do Impact Analysis. We either had the same ideas or Aras really listens when good ideas are shared.  A little over a year ago I created the picture in the header as part of… Read More »Applying AI/ML to Configuration Management
