Deep learning can be used to detect DNS amplification attacks - Dataconomy

#artificialintelligence

Researchers from Citadel developed a deep learning method to generate DNS amplification attacks. Deep learning algorithms have lately been shown to be quite effective at identifying and preventing cybersecurity assaults. Various deep learning techniques, such as those used for image classification and natural language processing, have been the target of numerous cybercriminals' recent development of new attacks. The most common of these strategies are adversarial attacks, which use altered data to deceive deep learning algorithms into categorizing it incorrectly. This could lead to the failure of numerous deep learning-based apps, biometric systems, and other systems.


Biologists train AI to generate medicines and vaccines

#artificialintelligence

Scientists have developed artificial intelligence software that can create proteins that may be useful as vaccines, cancer treatments, or even tools for pulling carbon pollution out of the air. This research, reported today in the journal Science, was led by the University of Washington School of Medicine and Harvard University. The article is titled "Scaffolding protein functional sites using deep learning." "The proteins we find in nature are amazing molecules, but designed proteins can do so much more," said senior author David Baker, an HHMI Investigator and professor of biochemistry at UW Medicine. "In this work, we show that machine learning can be used to design proteins with a wide variety of functions." For decades, scientists have used computers to try to engineer proteins.


Navy envisions electronic drones will help keep an eye on enemy forces across the pacific

FOX News

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. Facing a growing threat from China, the Navy envisions drone ships keeping an electronic eye on enemy forces across the vast Pacific Ocean, extending the reach of firepower, and keeping sailors out of harm's way. The Navy is speeding development of those robotic ships as an affordable way to keep pace with China's growing fleet while vowing not to repeat costly shipbuilding blunders from recent years. The four largest drone ships are being used together this summer during a multination naval exercise in the Pacific Ocean.


Iran Ramps Up Drone Exports, Signaling Global Ambitions

NYT > Middle East

"The fact that newer drones, such as the Mohajer-6, are now being seen in places like the Horn of Africa shows that countries see them as a potential game-changer," he added, referring to an advanced Iranian drone claimed to have a range of about 125 miles and the ability to carry precision-guided munitions. "It's amazing warfare on the cheap," said Mr. Frantzman, adding that Iranian drones cost less than other models on the market but were growing in sophistication, and had proved their worth on battlefields across the Middle East. Tehran began drone development in the 1980s during the Iran-Iraq war. Despite crippling sanctions imposed on Iran over its nuclear and missile programs in recent years, it has managed to produce and field a vast array of military drones, used for both surveillance and attack, according to analysis by experts. That program has become a major concern for Israel and the United States in recent years.


Midway Dental Supply Designates Pearl as Preferred AI Solutions Provider

#artificialintelligence

Pearl, the leader in dental AI solutions, and Midway Dental, one of the leading dental technology and supply distributors in the United States, announced that Pearl is now Midway's preferred artificial intelligence (AI) solutions provider. Pearl's Practice Intelligence AI solution is already available as part of Midway's cutting-edge product sales and distribution inventory, and the collaboration will now also include Second Opinion, the first and only FDA-cleared chairside AI software to help dentists detect numerous conditions in x-rays of dental patients 12 and older. "Our partnership with Midway ensures that forward-thinking dental practices across the U.S. have access to the most advanced AI to streamline their practice management and real-time chairside radiologic evaluations" With over 15,000 dental customers, Michigan-based Midway Dental is the fastest growing full-service dental supply company in the United States, aiming to transform the dental supply industry into something new and progressive. By selecting Pearl as its preferred AI service provider, Midway has reaffirmed its commitment to empowering dental care providers with the most advanced dental technologies for better patient communication, trust, and treatment outcomes. "We selected Pearl as our preferred AI service provider because it is the only dental AI company that can actually deliver on AI's promise for our customers," said Steve Kizy, president of Midway.


Council Post: Digital Without Data Leads To Blindness

#artificialintelligence

The Covid-19 pandemic brought about rapid change that demonstrated the range of human resilience and propelled digitization forward at unprecedented rates. According to a McKinsey Global Survey of executives, in only months, the digitization of customer and supply-chain interactions at companies accelerated by up to four years, while digitally enabled products accelerated by seven years. But digitization itself is not a new concept. Historically, digitization was primarily motivated by replacing manual tasks with robotic automation, but that wasn't the result. Instead, digitization elevated the value of work performed.


Next-generation RAF fighter jet to feature AI-assisted operation

#artificialintelligence

Forward-looking: The Royal Air Force's next-generation fighter jet appears designed around some of today's emerging technologies, especially inside the cockpit. The plane's designers plan to incorporate a combination of VR, AR, and AI components in the flight control system. The Tempest – the United Kingdom's planned fighter jet of the future – will have a cockpit without physical switches or screens. Its systems will also try to "read" the pilots' minds to monitor their condition and make them more aware of their surroundings. Unmanned and automated drones are becoming increasingly prominent in air-based combat, but the operation of the Tempest will involve a gradient between human and machine control, called "scalable autonomy."


European or not, make sure your AI business sticks to EU data laws

#artificialintelligence

As we enter a new era defined by artificial intelligence and machine learning, the very foundation of many modern technologies is being put under a microscope by policymakers. Data is required for the refinement of most cutting-edge technology, and it will only become more important in future as we develop more sophisticated AI and ML models, fueled by richer, higher quality data sets. However, there are strict regulations around how data can be used, particularly within the EU. The EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) mandates that businesses need consent to store subject data in order to preserve the privacy of its citizens online and offline. Get a weekly dose of entrepreneurial insights from TNW's founder Boris These regulations affect AI companies the world over, however, because they restrict how data is moved out of the bloc – to servers in the US, say.
