At the recent Red Hat's EMEA AI Open Talks, Red Hat shed light on several key advancements in
artificial intelligence (AI) and the company's perspective on them. The discussion addressed the

the ‘Hype Cycle’ to create composite AI techniques as the foundation for future system architectures in
order to maximise benefits.

Swarm AI

Red Hat then continued to advocate for Swarm AI, a bottom-up approach to AI that places a strong focus
