Customer story: Holmes Corporation
Building personalized learning paths with AI and ML
A global leader in educational technology and services for professional associations needed to improve the experience of learners and attract new association partners. After assessing readiness and exploring opportunities together, the team developed a novel solution: using machine learning and artificial intelligence to generate custom learning paths for each learner. The new platform reduced study time by 35%, improving the experience of customers and generating new business opportunities.
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Insights
Tech Myths – Busted
Join Chad, Peter, Eric, and Kyle as they tackle tech myths—from smart devices eavesdropping to battery charging habits and the real risks of public Wi-Fi. This episode blends humor, practical advice, and a reality check on what’s fact and what’s fiction in today’s tech landscape.
Fast Zombies Are the Worst!
Join Kyle, Peter, Allison and Nick for a Halloween chat that turns into a debate on whether AI is making us quicker—or just “fast zombies.” The crew swaps zombie stories and digs into how AI might erode skills, spread misinformation, and dull our reasoning.
Responsible AI by Design
In this episode of Digital Innovation North, Molly connects with data scientists and PhD mathematicians Cam Marcott and Susama Agarwala to unpack what responsible AI really means. Together, they explore how clear problem framing, thoughtful design, and intentional tool choices can lead to AI solutions that are fair, reliable, and built to last.
Particle Physics & Data Science
Join Kyle, Dan, Eric, and guest Ben Messerly for a deep dive into the world of particle physics and big data. Ben shares stories from his time at CERN and Fermilab, revealing how massive detectors work and what it takes to make sense of billions of particle collisions. The team also explores the role of AI in research, the philosophy of modern science, and the quirks of building groundbreaking technology.
