Databricks Expands Lakehouse Capabilities and Formats for AI-driven Data Analytics

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Register

Databricks is expanding its approach to data lakes by introducing Universal Format (UniForm), which allows data stored in Delta Lake to be read as if it were Apache Iceberg or Apache Hudi. This move aims to simplify the compatibility issues between Delta, Hudi, and Iceberg, and broaden Databricks' appeal in machine learning and data warehouse-type workloads. Meanwhile, Snowflake has announced updates to its Iceberg Tables, aiming to eliminate data silos and support unstructured data lake-style workloads. The battle between Databricks and Snowflake in the data lake world continues, with both companies striving to offer a unified platform for data management and analytics.

Navigating the Intellectual Property Landscape of Generative AI in Business and Creativity.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by HBR.org Daily

Generative AI, which uses data lakes and question snippets to recover patterns and relationships, is becoming more prevalent in creative industries. However, the legal implications of using generative AI are still unclear, particularly in relation to copyright infringement, ownership of AI-generated works, and unlicensed content in training data. Courts are currently trying to establish how intellectual property laws should be applied to generative AI, and several cases have already been filed. To protect themselves from these risks, companies that use generative AI need to ensure that they are in compliance with the law and take steps to mitigate potential risks.
