NHS staff using Google's search engine has triggered one of its cybersecurity defences. NHS Digital confirmed so many NHS staff use the search engine that it had started asking them to take a quiz to verify they were "not a robot". News site the Register reported one NHS Trust had told staff to "use Bing" instead. Google indicated its systems were designed to spot unusual traffic and were working as intended. Detecting suspicious traffic from one network can help defeat potential cyber-attacks, such as attempts to try to overwhelm a website.

Melville, NY (PRWEB) January 17, 2017 – Nastel Technologies, a global provider of enterprise-grade operations analytics and application performance monitoring (APM) solutions, announced the next-generation version of its flagship software platform, AutoPilot Insight 2.0. According to Charley Rich, VP Product Management "The new release fuses predictive anomaly and machine learning capabilities, business transaction tracking that spans corporate firewalls, raw information handling and analytics speed, and the flexibility to operate across dynamic IT environments--from mobile to mainframe. It provides the broad array of capabilities needed by developers, IT admins, and business analysts for enterprise-grade operations intelligence and APM." Rich said building a solution that fully addresses today's client requirements demanded two years of ground-up product re-engineering. "Customers universally remarked that they needed to find data outliers faster and sense problem conditions before they actually affect users. They also wanted more powerful end-to-end transaction tracking capabilities, with the ability to tie transaction performance to business outcomes."

Hackers have stolen the login details of 2.5 million PlayStation and Xbox users. The email addresses and passwords of gamers who had been using the unofficial Xbox360 ISO and PSP ISO forums, which players use to share links to download free and pirated versions of games, were exposed by the cybercriminals behind the hack.

As stories of robot teachers (2010), AI game-show winners (2011), Big Data election victories (2012) objects communicating with one another (2013), self-driving cars (2014), robot-run hotels (2015), delivery drones (2016) have become the new normal, the outgoing Obama administration has made policy recommendations premised on a future American economy deeply affected by AI-driven automation, with 47% of US jobs estimated to be at high-risk of computerization in the next 20 years. It's perhaps therefore unsurprising that there is an abundance of words, terminology and concepts floating around the automation and artificial intelligence sphere, often achieving'buzzword' status and cited in isolation – when really they ought to be considered in concert. We can think of automation as being the consolidation of a number of such'concepts', intertwined and often related to one another: this is my take on how some of these fit together and the level of maturity that flows therefrom. We begin by plotting the number and complexity of tasks performed (X-axis) as part of each'concept' against the extent to which the behaviours exhibited are'human-like' (Y-axis). Next we demarcate a zoning of primary "operation modes": concepts relating to direct interaction with humans (mode of interaction in green); gaining and producing knowledge (thinking in purple); and, finally, interaction with other systems (machine-machine interaction in orange).

Cosmologist Stephen Hawking and Tesla CEO Elon Musk endorsed a set of principles that have been established to ensure that self-thinking machines remain safe and act in humanity's best interests. Machines are getting more intelligent every year and researchers believe they could possess human levels of intelligence in the coming decades. Once they reach this point they could then start to improve themselves and create even more powerful software, according to Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom and several others in the field. In 2014, Musk warned that artificial intelligence has the potential to be "more dangerous than nukes" while Hawking said in December 2014 that AI could end humanity. AI could also help to cure cancer and slow down global warming.

Natural language generation, a field in artificial intelligence which automatically turns facts and statistics into coherent English and other languages, offers important advantages for finance and accounting, according to Robert Dale, a longtime expert in the technology.

Facebook scammers are making carbon copies of legitimate profiles in order to trick users into revealing financial and personal details, in a tactic known as'cloning'. By creating a new account using the exact same name, personal information and profile and cover photos included on your own profile – even going as far as copying your statuses – they can do a convincing job of imitating you online. The scheme allows them to confidently approach your friends and family members, who could unknowingly accept a friend request from the clone account and eventually share private information with it, depending on how convincing their messages appear.

A new algorithm from a team of Swiss researchers allows autonomous cars to merge with human traffic on highways with the flexibility of a school of fish. Researchers from the Distributed Intelligent Systems and Algorithms Laboratory at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland developed a new way for autonomous cars to drive with human traffic. Their work is a major step forward for autonomous car algorithms, which have primarily turned autonomous cars into blocky platoons along highways. The algorithm allows for a connected network of different kinds and numbers of autonomous vehicles driving on multiple lanes, that can incorporate human-driven vehicles. Their algorithm was tested on the road for the first time in October, and paves the way for Autonet 2030's goal of deployment in 2020-2030.

There was a time when every neighbourhood bank in North America and Europe was acquired by or merged with a larger institution. By 2000, global mega-banks offered fewer choices to consumers looking for competitive interest rates and other services. But the too big to fail banks are now facing competition in the form of a resurgence of customer-friendly, local banks. There is an even bigger challenge: Technology companies have been applying for financial licences that would allow them to enter the digital payments space. As traditional banks grapple with the challenges posed by fintech, legacy constraints and traditional operational models, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as the saviour.
