Many companies think the PLM journey ends with managing CAD and engineering data. But thatâs only the beginning.
In this SAP interview, Achim Rossel, SVP Business Development at @dsc_software_ag, explains why Product Lifecycle Management creates its greatest value when engineering connects with manufacturing, supply chain, and the broader enterprise.
Hosted by Sarah Mei Niesel, Global Product Marketing for PLM Solutions at SAP.
On Intelligent Machines last week, Leo, Paris, and Jeff spoke with Henry Bloget about the role of AI in Journalism.

Tired of a boring Ubuntu desktop? Theme Studio is a brand-new Ubuntu theming app that transforms your entire GNOME desktop â GTK themes, GNOME Shell themes, icon packs, accent colors, and 4K wallpapers â all in one click. In this video I show you exactly how to install Theme Studio, apply a complete "Look" in seconds, mix and match GTK themes and icon packs to build your own custom Ubuntu desktop, and safely reset back to stock Ubuntu (Yaru) whenever you want.
Whether you’re customizing GNOME on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, tired of hunting for Linux themes on GitHub and GNOME-Look, or just want the best Ubuntu theme app for a one-click desktop makeover, this is the easiest way to get a beautiful, coordinated Linux desktop without touching the terminal.
â What you’ll learn in this video:
– What Theme Studio is and how it works
– How to install Theme Studio on Ubuntu / GNOME
– How to apply a complete Look (GTK theme + Shell theme + icons + wallpaper) in one click
– How to mix and match GTK themes, icon packs, and Shell themes
– How to safely reset back to default Ubuntu theming

Harm assessment in impact assessments is notoriously difficult, often badly done, and long overdue for a rethink. In this Data Ethics Professional webinar, freelance privacy and data protection expert Rowenna Fielding launches the Data Hazards and Harms Toolkit â three years in the making, and built to replace guesswork with something you can actually use on Monday morning.
Most frameworks ask you to predict the unpredictable, then put a number on it. Rowenna’s argument is that data harms are foreseeable but genuinely unquantifiable, which is why the 5×5 matrix so often produces made-up numbers and false confidence. Instead, the toolkit borrows from health and safety: identify the hazardous materials, conditions and operations in your project, then layer safety measures around them â the way surgical teams prevent infection without hunting down individual microbes.
In conversation with Dr Kay Achenbach, Head of the Data Ethics Professional course at the ODI, Rowenna covers where data harms really come from (mostly not from bad intentions), how cognitive bias shapes assessment, and how the toolkit sits alongside the ODI’s Data Ethics Canvas and consequence scanning. The Q&A takes on live audience questions about sharing sensitive data with public LLMs, handling pushback from senior stakeholders, and whether anyone harmed by data ever gets meaningfully compensated.
For many families living with a rare disease, the hardest part is not having a name for what is happening. Even with modern genetic testing, about half of people with rare diseases remain undiagnosed.
In this OpenAI Forum conversation, researchers from Boston Childrenâs Hospital’s Manton Center for Orphan Disease Research discuss how they used OpenAI o3 Deep Research to reanalyze difficult pediatric cases and surface new leads for expert review. The conversation explores how AI can help scientists move faster, give families a better chance at answers, and support advanced medical research, while keeping geneticists and clinicians at the center of diagnosis and care.

In this clip from OSFF London 2026, Dov Katz (Morgan Stanley) reframes how engineering leaders should evaluate developer productivity in the AI era. Rather than measuring raw output through merged pull requests, Dov demonstrates how enterprise security productivity is quantified by burning down CVEs across thousands of transitive software dependencies.

What does it mean to be a data scientist in the age of AI agents?
In this episode of the ODSC Ai X Podcast, Sheamus McGovern sits down with Eric Ma, Data Science Leader at Moderna, to explore how AI coding agents are changing the way data scientists workâand why human expertise matters more than ever.
Eric shares practical insights on agentic data science, coding agents, loop engineering, evaluation frameworks, fine-tuning, AI engineering, and why data scientists should focus on the science of measurement rather than trying to become full-stack software engineers.
