Tomas Kellner
December 09, 2015
In his piece in Business Insider, Jeff Immelt, GE chairman and CEO, called for an end to the debate over whether we were in a tech bubble. “I believe that this is shortsighted and rooted in the belief that at some point the tech industry must undergo the same unfortunate ‘burst’ as in 2000,” Immelt wrote.

Child’s Play: Machines Learning Like Kids Will Usher In The Next Industrial Revolution

December 07, 2015
If you ask Hollywood, the world teeming with robots and artificial intelligence is a no-brainer. Movies like “The Terminator,” “WALL-E” and “Blade Runner” have all cast intelligent automata as the wings upon which the future — mostly dystopian — swoops in. In fact, some very big names in science and engineering have recently joined voices in cautioning against unchecked intelligence development. Tesla’s Elon Musk and theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking have both predicted catastrophe should we make dumb choices when building smart machines.

It takes a typical computer 6 hours to process information from a CT scanner to see exactly what's going on inside the head of a patient who’s just arrived at a hospital with certain stroke symptoms. But the typical window for treatment is limited to four hours - and likely moving to just three hours based on recent clinical studies. “Speed is one of the most important elements of treating stroke,” says Jan De Witte, president and CEO of GE Healthcare IT. “If doctors can intervene quickly, they can often help patients escape serious damage to the brain.”

November 14, 2015
GE Aviation’s latest technology center sits tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Dubai International Airport, inside the Dubai Airport Free Zone and just steps away from the executive jet terminal, a location handy for easy access. From the outside, the place looks like just another glass-and-concrete office tower that sprouted in this desert metropolis over the last decade. But step inside its spaceship-like lobby, with walls inlaid with varnished white panels and flat-screen displays illuminated by chameleonic LEDs, and you’ll feel transported into the future.

Silicon Valley veteran Ganesh Bell believes in the power of software so much that he decided to join one of the world’s largest industrial companies. “After two decades in the software business and working in the Valley, I’ve heard Marc Andreessen say that software was going to eat the world and it clicked,” he says. “I realized the next software company wouldn’t be a software company at all. Everyone has access to cloud, big data, and software talent. It’s the companies with deep industry domain in machines, infrastructure and operations expertise that will have the upper hand.

Get Your Software Kicks on Predix: GE Opens the World’s First Industrial App Marketplace

Kristin Kloberdanz
September 30, 2015
Consumers think nothing of tapping the screen of their smartphone to instantly stream “Can’t Feel My Face” by The Weeknd, track an exercise and diet regimen, or download Candy Crush. But there’s no app store for software needed for power plants, automobile factories or other industrial environments.
For years, consumers have enjoyed a glut of cloud-hosted apps, but software for heavy industry has lagged behind other sectors in following suit. That has limited not only those who need industrial software apps, the users, but also those who write them, the engineers.
