Let's inject a virus into the attacking alien spacecraft and save Earth! Let's hack into the enemy mainframe with six keystrokes and abort the torpedo launch! Cybersecurity has long been a staple of science fiction, whether it's in movies like "Independence Day" or television shows like "Star Trek." Yet in our real 21st Century world, artificial intelligence is the new face of cybersecurity, even if it doesn't sound like Hal from "2001: A Space Odyssey." The most obvious place for added intelligence is to detect whether some pattern of network traffic is benign or hostile.

It's predicted that sometime in the next 25 years, artificial intelligence machines will match - and in some ways - surpass human intelligence. The potential ripple effects of that are staggering. Corporations and governments are now spending billions of dollars on developing bigger and smarter A.I. technology. Their goal is to create machines that think for themselves. But some warn it could go terribly wrong, and the warning is being sounded by the likes of Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking. Philosopher and technologist Nick Bostrom is one of the world's big thinkers on artificial intelligence or A.I. He's the founding director of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford university and says, A.I. has the potential to shape the fate of humanity.

The Calgary Police Service became the first force in Canada to start using facial recognition software to match suspects against a mug shot database this week, but it likely won't be the last. The use of facial recognition technology is growing not just in law enforcement and security fields but also in commerce. "One of the reasons face [recognition] is so popular is that face images exist of almost everybody," said Kevin Bowyer, an expert on biometrics and computer vision and chair of the department of computer science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame. Some cellphone apps use face recognition instead of passwords to give users access to devices. "You've got your driver's licence photos, you've got your identity badges wherever you work, so you've got this legacy of images that are easily accessible for everyone."

As we hurtle down the road towards fully-connected, fully-autonomous vehicles, the software-defined car is evolving at a breakneck pace. Today's cars use tens of millions of lines of code to deliver the latest standout features to beat the competition. Modern manufacturers like Ford are now diving headfirst into the development of advanced on-board systems alongside software partners such as BlackBerry QNX – and we constantly strive to help them drive securely towards the future. That's why last week, we were proud to announce version 7.0 of our QNX Software Development Platform, just in time for the CES 2017. QNX SDP 7.0 builds on QNX's proven reliability, and offers both high performance and enhanced security through advanced features and latest generations of the QNX Neutrino Realtime OS and QNX Momentics Tool Suite.

Every year, more than a billion people around the world celebrate Chinese New Year and engage in a subtle linguistic dance with luck. You can think of it as a set of holiday rituals that resemble a courtship. To lure good fortune into their lives, they may decorate their homes and doors with paper cutouts of lucky words or phrases. Those who need a haircut make sure to get one before the New Year, as the word for "hair" (fa) sounds like the word for "prosperity"--and who wants to snip away prosperity, even if it's just a trim? The menu of food served at festive meals often includes fish, because its name (yu) sounds the same as the word for "surplus"; a type of algae known as fat choy because in Cantonese it sounds like "get rich"; and oranges, because in certain regions their name sounds like the word for "luck."

RSNA 2016 is an essential appointment for radiologists like Eliot Siegel, M.D., who appeared at an event sponsored by healthcare and consumer product giant Philips to tout the virtues of applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to medical imaging. Increasingly, healthcare organizations are leveraging analytics to gain insights that solve inefficiencies and streamline workflows. Access our guide now for the 6 components of a healthcare analytics plan, how to get employees invested in analytics, and more. Corporate E-mail Address: This email address is already registered.
