Cognyte Software Ltd. (CGNT): Boosting Investigative Analytics with Microsoft Azure

We recently published a list of Top 9 Latest AI News Updates Investors Shouldn’t Miss. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Cognyte Software Ltd. (NASDAQ:CGNT) stands against other top latest AI news updates investors shouldn’t miss.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already transforming diverse industries, including healthcare, energy, cybersecurity, and communications by boosting productivity, enhancing engagement with clients, and significantly lowering operational overheads.

However, experts believe AI today hasn’t evolved enough to guide scientific processes. As tech giants race to launch AI co-scientist tools to help scientists develop hypotheses and research plans and unravel new knowledge, experts opined that these tools fall short of their promises.

“We’ve seen throughout history that some of the most important scientific advancements, like the development of mRNA vaccines, were driven by human intuition and perseverance in the face of skepticism,” said KhudaBukhsh, assistant professor of software engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology. “AI, as it stands today, may not be well-suited to replicate that.”

While some experts believe these tools could be a good starting point for researchers, the lack of details remains worrisome, raising questions about their potential.

“Those are things that various existing tools are claiming to do, but those are not jobs that I would personally leave up to current AI,” added Lana Sinapayen, an AI researcher at Sony Computer Science Laboratories in Japan. She believes that similar tools focus on the wrong kind of scientific legwork.
