Building Infrastructure for an AI World in Motion

AI is evolving too quickly for infrastructure leaders to predict exactly what the technology will look like five years from now. The bigger challenge is building systems today that can adapt as workloads, architectures and requirements continue to change. Attributed to Alexey Navolokin, General Manager, APAC No one in the industry can say with certainty what artificial intelligence will look like five years from now. The next dominant model architecture remains unknown, as does the eventual balance between training and inference. It is also unclear how much AI will ultimately run in an organisation's own data centre, someone else's data centre, on a laptop or on something even smaller. Despite that uncertainty, infrastructure leaders still need to make decisions and investments today that could form the IT foundations of their businesses for the next five to seven years. This makes the ability to adapt increasingly important. The greatest risk is not necessarily c...

Cardiovascular disease has become one of Asia's most pressing health challenges. A study found that the region accounted for 61.3% of global cardiovascular mortality, with a disease burden 8.3% higher than the global average. In Malaysia, cardiovascular disease has also been reported as one of the leading causes of death, accounting for more than 15% of mortality among Malaysians [1] . Although cardiovascular disease death rates have fallen over time, the overall burden continues to grow amid ageing populations and changing lifestyles. The figures highlight the importance of looking after cardiovascular health, particularly as healthcare becomes more expensive and medical cost inflation in Malaysia reaches an all-time high [2] . Staying active is one of the simplest ways to boost nitric oxide production and support overall heart health. According to Dr Vipada Sae-Lao, Nutrition Education and Training Lead, Asia Pacific, Herbalife , “A healthy heart needs the basics. The Am...
