Welcome back to Tech Term of the Week! 🥳
This week's term → agentic workflows - /əˈdʒɛn.tɪk ˈwɝːk.floʊz/
Definition → AI-driven processes where autonomous AI agents make decisions, take actions and coordinate tasks with minimal human intervention.
Why it matters → this allows AI systems to adapt and complete tasks even when conditions change, reducing the need for human intervention on routine work while also generating higher-quality outputs that can help train future AI models more effectively.

IBM retweeted
The question for business leaders is no longer whether AI works. It’s whether they can afford to run it at scale.
The answer isn’t rationing AI. It’s owning the economics behind it.

Welcome back to Tech Term of the Week! 🥳
This week's term → context engineering - /ˈkɑn.tɛkst ˌɛn.dʒəˈnɪr.ɪŋ/
Definition → the practice of deliberately designing, structuring and optimizing the context provided to an LLM to produce more accurate, relevant and reliable outputs.
Why it matters → involves structuring what information to include in the context that the LLM can access in real-time, and how to format that information so the LLM can use it correctly.
wait, it's still #cybersecurityawarenessmonth too.

Welcome back to Tech Term of the Week! 🥳
This week's term → Cyber Resilience - /ˈsaɪ.bɚ rɪˈzɪl.jəns/
Definition → an organization's ability to prevent, withstand and recover from cybersecurity incidents.
Why it matters → this helps ensure that the apps, services and systems you depend on can recover quickly and keep working when cyber incidents happen.
