Since the AI-model was trained with human-made text from the internet, the data had Western origins and biases. Indeed, it was founded out that the word ‘Muslim’ is associated with ‘terrorist’ in 23% of test cases, while ‘Jewish’ is associated with ‘money’ in 5% of test cases.

The company then built a system to filter out this kind of language, which shouldn’t alter GPT-3’s algorithm. However, this implies that the biases can’t be removed in the model itself and will remain part of it.

Wrike has created the product after reports that CIOs cite cross-functional collaboration, which thwarts efforts to achieve operational efficiency, as a top priority.

“Companies today are missing out on some of the most impactful benefits of exceptional work management, including the ability to efficiently and effectively collaborate across teams and systems,” said Wrike Founder and CEO, Andrew Filev.

He continues, “Our aim with this index is to enable organisations to focus on the key practice areas that are standing in their way of work management proficiency and provide them with the tools to tackle these challenges, paving the way to achieving operational excellence.”

Changing the way people work

The Index focuses on seven areas of core work management competencies. These are leadership, ownership, integration, measurement, investment, efficiency, and engagement.

“Collaborative work management platforms, like Wrike, are not only fundamentally changing the way work gets done every day – they can dramatically improve an organisation’s ability to achieve operational excellence,” said Wrike Chief Customer Officer Abhay Rajaram.

Rajaram added: “Wrike has been committed to empowering highly productive teams since day one, and we are excited to begin partnering with executives and other stakeholders to help their organisations optimise work management strategies and execution for better and faster results. Our goal is to support our current and future customers with actionable guidance to accelerate their work management proficiency and increase efficiency so they can meet customer expectations for on-demand personalised products, services, and experiences in the post-digital era.”

The Work Management Proficiency Index Process

 The new Index is based on a Key Proficiency Indicator (KPI) assessment as well as producing a user feedback system that investigates the strengths and weaknesses of certain areas.

As well as this, firms are placed in one of the four Work Management Proficiency Index stages based on their assessment scores and evaluated against similar companies to look at competitive gaps. A step-by-step action plan is then highlighted which helps to work on both long- and short-term goals.

Therefore, the open source organisation, Ballerina, has announced the release of Ballerina 1.0 to provide cloud native middleware as a programming language in the hopes of radically simplifying how developers will build and deploy cloud native distributed application and services.

The new open source project has been created and sponsored by Open-source technology provider, WSO2.

“Modern applications are effectively integrations of services, data, transactions and processes from a vast array of resources to deliver innovative, new services. But ESBs and other traditional integration approaches have failed to keep pace,” said Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, founder and leader of the Ballerina project.

“The Ballerina programming language is facilitating a major evolutionary leap in the development of cloud native distributed applications that is tearing down the outdated barriers between app development and integration to enable greater agility, performance and resiliency. And it’s accelerating the ESB’s path to extinction in the process.” Weerawarana continued.

Ballerina for modern, cloud native programming

The project created has been based upon the notion of sequence diagrams and is self-documenting to fit smoothly into the patterns of microservices and cloud native development.

Those testing the development of API’s in Ballerina reported it to be effective and easy due to the syntax that has been designed for the service.

The new service is thought to have been created with a language centric platform at its core to work with cloud native applications and microservices. The company has introduced several aspects that make it suitable for programming and consuming APIs.

Sponsored and developed by WSO2

In discussing the creation and sponsor of the project, Vinny Smith, executive chairman of the WSO2 board and founder of Toba Capital, WSO2’s majority stockholder says, “Few technologies have the potential to reshape an entire market. We believe Ballerina is one of those technologies and that WSO2 will fundamentally disrupt the integration market using Ballerina as the basis of its future,”

“Based on this vision, we have invested more than 150 person years of effort in bringing the first production release to market. And, knowing that it takes time to get a language established, we are making a long-term commitment to advancing both Ballerina technology innovations and building the community around this ground-breaking software.”
