In terms of what the &amp;quot;AI&amp;quot; stuff actually means, one answer is contained on slide 121 – support for running Tensorflow and ONNX inside a Linux Docker container using zCX (which lets you run z&amp;#x2F;Linux Docker containers under z&amp;#x2F;OS). The zCX SIMD support referenced on slide 102 is probably highly relevant to this.</text></comment>

But I would be extremely surprised if the new IBM actually started pushing the envelope of computer science again. Not until they reverse course on the whole &amp;quot;Lets get rid of all our hardware expertise and just focus on software&amp;quot; thing.&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Transaction_Processing_Facility&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Transaction_Processing_Facilit...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
