What’s next in #tech? At the recent Mizuho Technology Conference, Arvind Krishna, Chairman & CEO, IBM, shared his thoughts on the maturation of AI, the breakthrough of quantum computing and why the tech skills gap is the biggest challenge we face today.

When it comes to experimenting with and deploying AI at scale, FOMO is not a corporate strategy Arvind Krishna, Chairman and CEO of IBM, told Michal Katz and Richard Gallivan at the Mizuho Technology Conference. "Give no more than five projects your attention at a time, scale them, then add more." Whereas Cloud is in the fifth or sixth inning of the game, AI is still in the first inning and the ability to adapt AI to a company’s processes will enable a return on investment. #ThisIsMizuho #AI For more content, including the full panel discussion, visit: https://lnkd.in/eAPRkYFP

Higher financing costs and even higher valuation expectations have stalled venture-backed and private equity portfolio companies seeking exits. Deal activity has been concentrated with larger, strategic M&A eclipsing sponsor activity and new issues have tended to be larger. In fact, the average size of an IPO has increased by 25% over the last 15 years to roughly $300 million Michal Katz told a group of investors during the panel discussion “Dealmaking for the Next Decade: Going Public, Taking Private, and Everything In Between” at the Forbes Iconoclast Summit in New York last month. #thisismizuho #forbesiconoclast #IPO Click here to watch the full panel: https://lnkd.in/eEpHhAD7
