How mainframers are adjusting to a new world
Editor’s Note

Computationally speaking, AI moves fast, so it’s not hard to see why the IT world is scrambling to make the most of it. The challenge, though, is that the technology itself is also progressing at breakneck speed, challenging IT departments to keep pace, lest they be left in the dust.
