Ambassador of the Month: Ayon Roy

We’re excited to recognize Ayon Roy as our latest Z by HP Ambassador of the Month! 🎉As an Executive Data Scientist at NielsenIQ, Ayon is making waves in sustainable innovation with his project, Greenscape AI. This AI-powered framework for urban forestry is reshaping how cities approach sustainability. By integrating satellite imagery and drone footage, Greenscape AI maps tree species, analyzes spatial distributions, and creates high-resolution urban forestry maps. These tools help optimize urban green space management, contribute to climate action, and promote ecosystem preservation.Ayon credits the ZBook Studio G10 and Z8 Fury G5 for making this ambitious project possible. With early access to Z by HP Boost, he leveraged the immense processing power of the Z8 Fury remotely from his Studio G10 laptop. This seamless integration of advanced hardware enabled efficient model training and deployment, accelerating his workflow and bringing Greenscape AI to life.Featured Projects:Greenscape

Exploring Collaboration and Scalability: What Data Scientists Want in AI Platforms

In Part 2 of our survey, we dive into data scientists’ needs for collaboration and scalability in AI platforms. While many find creating multiple experiments manageable, nearly half feel neutral or challenged by the process, signaling room for improvement. Data scientists emphasize the importance of platforms that offer easy deployment, scalability, user-friendly design, seamless integration, and strong security.Most collaboration happens through shared platforms for project management and file sharing, with team communication blending in-person meetings and digital messaging. Moving forward, platform development should prioritize ease of collaboration, integration, security, and scalability. Additionally, aligning with data scientists' success metrics—like accuracy, ROI, and user satisfaction—will help highlight platform benefits effectively.

Survey Insights: Why Data Scientists Are Prioritizing Security in On-Prem AI Workloads

In our recent survey of over 65 data scientists, we set out to understand the perceived value of AI development and uncover the moments when users experience that crucial ‘aha’ feeling with AI/ML platforms. Knowing when users recognize value within the development lifecycle helps us shape better tools and support.A key takeaway? With the majority of organizations planning to bring AI workloads on-premises within the next few years, security and privacy are top of mind for data scientists when running AI/ML workloads locally.Here's what we found:81% of organizations have firm or potential plans to bring AI workloads on-premises within the next 1-3 years.Over 70% of respondents rated security and privacy as very important when it comes to the ability to run AI/ML workloads locally.Stay tuned for Part 2 of our survey insights, where we’ll dive into what data scientists are looking for in terms of collaboration and scalability. Beyond just easy deployment and experiment creation, they’re s

Future directions of AI?

Some years ago, one of the things that was hyped in the AI Community but that I still think has huge relevance for the future in AI is Federated Learning and Privacy Preserving Machine Learning (PPML). This comes from an idea that future devices will have more than enough power to run the majority of our biggest models, or that models will be efficient enough to run on them. This without losing the aspect of keeping our data private and secure.What do you think about this? Do you think this is where AI Development would head eventually? What others directions could be the most feasible and with the most usage our future? A couple of those that come to my mind are Embodied AI and Causal Machine Learning.
