Relational databases are undergoing a profound transformation. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning workloads exhibit access patterns that diverge sharply from traditional online transaction processing (OLTP) approaches. Large scans, unpredictable queries, vector search, low-latency inference, and distributed applications are redefining how teams address schema design, indexing, scaling, and operational strategy. Vinodkrishna Gopalan is a subject-matter The post Scaling Relational Databases in the Era of Artificial Intelligence—Q&A With Vinodkrishna Gopalan appeared first on IEEE Computer Society.

According to Hiring Lab, postings for software engineering jobs have increased by 15% since 2025, and 71% of that increase is aimed at experienced engineers. That is, the very engineers that organizations rely on to oversee AI-assisted software development. In this competitive environment, organizations that fail to offer professional development and clear career pathways risk The post How to Train and Retain Top Software Engineering Talent appeared first on IEEE Computer Society.

This year marks a historic moment for the computer science community. For the first time, the Shaw Prize added a new prize in Computer Science, in addition to its existing three prize categories. As the nomination period begins, you are encouraged to consider the individuals whose achievements exemplify the innovation and rigour that define the The post The Shaw Prize in Computer Science: Nominations Now Open appeared first on IEEE Computer Society.

Most enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) agent pilots fail, not because of the model, but because of the data substrate beneath them. Schemas drift, identity is fragmented across software as a service (SaaS) silos, unstructured content remains unindexed, and access policies don’t propagate to the runtime (Figure 1). Figure 1: The data foundation gap illustrates why The post Why Intelligent AI Agents Fail and How to Close the Data Foundation Gap appeared first on IEEE Computer Society.

Navigating a career in technology requires more than just mastering technical frameworks. It demands an understanding of how interconnected global networks, professional communities, and leadership ecosystems drive large-scale impact.

As enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives expand, organizations are increasingly relying on cloud-native big-data platforms to support real-time analytics, distributed AI workloads, and massive volumes of structured and unstructured data. These modern architectures provide the scalability and flexibility needed for enterprise AI, but they also create new governance challenges. Data moves continuously across operational systems, The post How Big Data Platforms Are Enabling Autonomous Governance for Enterprise AI appeared first on IEEE Computer Society.

Abstract— Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) systems leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently demonstrate impressive extraction accuracy in prototype environments, yet encounter significant operational failures when deployed at scale. These failures are rarely attributable to extraction capability itself; rather, they stem from systemic production concerns including API rate limiting, unpredictable cost escalation, inconsistent output schemas across The post LiteLLM as a Control Plane for Scalable Intelligent Document Processing appeared first on IEEE Computer Society.
