Global Study Finds Artificial Intelligence is Key Cybersecurity Weapon in the IoT Era
As businesses struggle to combat increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity attacks, the severity of which is exacerbated by both the vanishing IT perimeters in today's mobile and IoT era, coupled with an acute shortage of skilled security professionals, IT security teams need both a new approach and powerful new tools to protect data and other high-value assets. Increasingly, they are looking to artificial intelligence (AI) as a key weapon to win the battle against stealthy threats inside their IT infrastructures, according to a new global research study conducted by the Ponemon Institute on behalf of Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company HPE, 1.66% This press release features multimedia. The Ponemon Institute study, entitled "Closing the IT Security Gap with Automation & AI in the Era of IoT," surveyed 4,000 security and IT professionals across the Americas, Europe and Asia to understand what makes security deficiencies so hard to fix, and what types of technologies and processes are needed to stay a step ahead of bad actors within the new threat landscape. The research revealed that in the quest to protect data and other high-value assets, security systems incorporating machine learning and other AI-based technologies are essential for detecting and stopping attacks that target users and IoT devices.
Latest Tech Trends of 2018 Taking Over SMEs
Once a new technology rolls over you, if you're not part of the steamroller, you're part of the road. The impact of technology on enterprises, large or small, is inescapable. Research shows what common-sense dictates - adopting critical technologies is one of the foremost factors propelling businesses forward, especially when easily available low-cost, high-speed internet with affordable smartphones, tablets, and other connected devices has changed the way India does business. No wonder that organisations across the world, including India, are going all out to embrace the latest innovations in technology. When it comes to SMEs, however, the story is starkly different.
PlayStation Classic: Sony re-launches beloved console along with 20 'genre-defining' games
The original PlayStation is coming back. Sony is re-making the beloved console and bundling it up with a whole host of "genre-defining" games, including Final Fantasy VII, Tekken, Ridge Racer Type 4. The PlayStation Classic will look almost identical to the original console, which came out nearly 25 years ago, and come with the same controllers and packaging. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new ...
The weird and wonderful life of Elon Musk
Elon Musk is one of the world's most prominent business figures. His latest headline-grabber is the announcement of the first paying passenger his SpaceX venture plans to fly around the Moon. There are also his extraordinary pioneering achievements include creating online payment platform PayPal, running electric car maker Tesla, as well as SpaceX. His innovative and wide-ranging interests include solar energy and artificial intelligence, and he has promised the Hyperloop, a super-high speed magnetic train travel, in an underground tube and he has designs on Mars. But this year, things seem to have turned sour for the tech entrepreneur.
5 Ways that Machine learning is transforming the Travel Industry MarkTechPost
The travel industry has always included digital technology to improve services. Travel is becoming enjoyable and simpler with the rapid advancement of technology. The latest successful examples are Airbnb and Uber. The potential of machine language is public knowledge today. The travel industry is not the first to introduce machine learning.
AI has far-reaching consequences for emerging markets
Most studies about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on jobs and the economy have focused on developed countries such as the United States and Britain. Through my work as a scientist, technology executive and venture capitalist in the US and China, I have come to believe that the gravest threat AI poses is to emerging economies. In recent decades, China and India have presented the world with two different models on how countries can climb the development ladder. In the China model, the nation leveraged its large population and low costs to build a base of blue-collar manufacturing. The country then steadily worked its way up the value chain by producing better and more technology-intensive goods.
U.S. tech giants eye AI key to unlock China push
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - U.S. technology giants, facing tighter content rules in China and the threat of a trade war, are targeting an easier way into the world's second largest economy - artificial intelligence. Google (GOOGL.O), Microsoft Inc (MSFT.O) and Amazon Inc (AMZN.O) showcased their AI wares at a state-backed forum held in Shanghai this week against the backdrop of Beijing's plans to build a $400 billion AI industry by 2025. China's government and companies may compete against U.S. rivals in the global AI race, but they are aware that gaining ground won't be easy without a certain amount of collaboration. "Hey Google, let's make humanity great again," Tang Xiao'ou, CEO of Chinese AI and facial recognition unicorn Sensetime, said in a speech on Monday. Amazon and Microsoft announced plans on Monday to build new AI research labs in Shanghai.
Enough Training, Let's Get Down To The AI Supermarket
This decade has seen us move our notion and application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) forward in dramatic terms. Fuelled by continual advances in computer processing and data analytics, the Machine Learning (ML) that goes to help create AI brains (often called'software agents') has been the subject of much debate in both technical and human cultural circles. As soon as we started to realize that AI and ML are actually going to change our world, we immediately wanted to know how, when, where and by how much. There has been widespread concern over which human jobs would be made redundant by AI; although that furore appears to be abating now that humans understand that AI will more likely take away the'grunt work' and help to create new higher-value jobs. Quite apart from the technical arguments (could hackers use quantum computing and AI to create a computing mega virus, for example), we have also concerned ourselves with the human cultural aspects of AI.
Google's prototype Chinese search engine links searches to phone numbers
Google's secret prototype search engine for China reportedly links users' mobile phone numbers to what search terms they've used. This feature would allow the Chinese government to simply associate searches with individuals, thereby putting Chinese citizens at increased risk of government repression if they search for topics that their government deems politically sensitive, according to the Intercept. The mobile-focused search engine prototype, code-named Dragonfly, was first revealed last month by the Intercept. Dragonfly is said to have been conceptualized as a joint venture between Google and a Chinese-based company. Both would have the ability to update a list of verboten search words, which could include expected subjects like "human rights" and "student protest" but could also extend to search terms such as "Nobel Prize", according to the Intercept's story.
