All in software
Garbage collection (GC) is one of those topics that feels like a solved problem until you scale it up to the kind of systems that power banks, e-commerce, logistics firms, and cloud providers. For many enterprise systems, GC is an invisible component: a background process that “just works.” But under high-throughput, latency-sensitive conditions, it surfaces as a first-order performance constraint. The market for enterprise applications is shifting: everyone’s chasing low-latency, high-throughput workloads, and GC is quietly becoming a choke point that separates the winners from the laggards.
The evolution from monolithic large language models (mono-LLMs) to multi-agent systems (MAS) reflects a practical shift in how AI can be structured to address the complexity of real-world tasks. Mono-LLMs, while impressive in their ability to process vast amounts of information, have inherent limitations when applied to dynamic environments like enterprise operations.
Unstructured data encompasses a wide array of information types that do not conform to predefined data models or organized in traditional relational databases. This includes text documents, emails, social media posts, images, audio files, videos, and sensor data. The inherent lack of structure makes this data difficult to process using conventional methods, yet it often contains valuable insights that can drive innovation, improve decision-making, and enhance customer experiences.
There are innumerable examples of other ways in which information technology has caused changes in the existing legislative structures. The law is naturally elastic, and can be expanded or amended to adapt to the new circumstances created by technological advancement. The continued development of artificial intelligence, however, may challenge the expansive character of the law because it presents an entirely novel situation.
The fuzziness of software patents’ boundaries has already turned the ICT industry into one colossal turf war. The expanding reach of IP has introduced more and more possibilities for opportunistic litigation (suing to make a buck). In the US, two-thirds of all patent law suits are currently over software, with 2015 seeing more patent lawsuits filed than any other year before.
