Proud to announce Europe's First IBM Quantum System Two. Today marks a significant milestone as IBM unveils one of the world's most powerful quantum systems at the IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center in San Sebastián, Spain, in collaboration with the Basque Government. This installation, the first in Europe and second outside the US, underscores Europe's commitment to quantum computing leadership. Quantum technology holds immense potential for our industries, research communities, and governments. By rapidly deploying systems like this, we're ensuring the continent stays at the forefront of such transformative technology and support the European Commission's Quantum Europe Strategy, aiming to establish Europe as a global quantum leader by 2030. To a brighter, more innovative future for Europe. Thanks Imanol Pradales Gil, Jay Gambetta, Horacio Morell Find out more in Fortune: https://lnkd.in/dJAtQEJG

Agentic AI isn’t just smarter automation—it’s a strategic shift toward systems that can think, reason, and act independently within safe boundaries. But with hype comes confusion. In this article from ComputerWeekly en Español, our CTO, Glenn Nethercutt explores what #AgenticAI is, what it isn’t, and why ethical frameworks like constitutional AI are essential to its responsible use. If your organization is navigating the AI opportunity, this is a must-read. https://lnkd.in/gSssj64T

Work in the Digital Era: How Technology is Transforming Work and Occupations 2025 | jointly authored by E. Fernández-Macías, I. González Vázquez, S. Torrejón Pérez, L. Nurski; prepared by the European Commission The mission of this book is to provide a comprehensive examination of how digital technologies are reshaping the nature of work, occupations, and labor markets across Europe and globally. By evaluating structural transformations in employment, skill demand, and occupational frameworks, the study aims to equip policymakers, academics, and business leaders with the analytical foundation to navigate the opportunities and challenges of the digital economy. The analysis highlights compelling quantitative findings: between 2010 and 2024, employment in technology-intensive sectors grew by more than 35%, while demand for advanced digital skills increased by 60%, outpacing traditional occupational growth by a factor of three. Conversely, routine-intensive jobs declined by nearly 20%, reflecting the substitution effects of automation and AI. Productivity gains from digital adoption averaged 1.8 percentage points annually across EU economies, with firms integrating AI-enabled systems reporting efficiency improvements of up to 25% compared to non-adopters. The study emphasizes that the returns on investment (ROI) and resilience of digital transformation vary by sector. Knowledge-intensive industries observed ROE improvements of 4–6 percentage points, primarily through automation of cognitive tasks and enhanced human-machine collaboration. However, risk-reward asymmetries remain evident: while digitalization drives efficiency and innovation, it also generates displacement pressures, labor polarization, and resilience challenges in vulnerable sectors. Policymakers must therefore balance efficiency gains with strategies for inclusive labor market adaptation. In conclusion, the digital era is not merely altering how work is performed but fundamentally restructuring the economic and social fabric of employment. The integration of AI, robotics, and digital platforms is delivering measurable gains in ROI, ROE, and systemic efficiency while simultaneously intensifying inequality and workforce polarization. The future of work will thus hinge on embedding resilience, adaptability, and inclusive strategies into governance frameworks, ensuring that the digital transition translates into broad-based and sustainable prosperity. #FutureOfWork #DigitalTransformation #AI #Automation #Productivity #ResilientEconomy #WorkforceAdaptation

🎙 New episode on Lodgerin Mode ON! Our guest this time is Alvaro Blazquez, founder of MadridEasy , an agency specialized in providing housing for students and young professionals in Madrid. He shares a truth every founder eventually faces: there’s no “perfect timing” to start. 1️⃣ It’s not about waiting for the right moment, it’s about knowing what you really want. 2️⃣ The first step isn’t perfecting your idea, it’s making the decision. 3️⃣ And from there, entrepreneurship is about rediscovering yourself every single day. Too soon, too late… those doubts will always be there. What matters is moving, testing, and learning while doing! This isn’t theory. This is Lodgerin Mode ON. #Lodgerin #LodgerinModeON #MadridEasy
