Having Trouble Buying a New Car Or PlayStation 5? Congress Hopes the CHIPS Act Could Help
It's been a difficult year for shoppers looking for cars, electronics and anything that requires a computer chip. A global semiconductor shortage has left many companies unable to fill orders or even finish products they've started assembling, clogging up warehouses and leaving a lack of inventory across the nation. Buying a new PlayStation 5 console remains nearly impossible. Several automakers have slowed down production in their factories, delaying shipments of new vehicles. It's even impacted more obscure products--just try to find an affordable dog washing booth these days.
More than 50 Republicans call for Biden to take cognitive test, amid Dem concerns about president's age
Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. More than 50 House Republicans Wednesday are calling for President Biden to take a cognitive test, as the president's opponents, and even some allies, question his fitness for the job at age 79. Fifty-four Republicans signed the letter, addressed to President Biden, which was led by Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas. That's up from 13 co-signers on a similar letter Jackson led in June 2021, and 37 co-signers on a letter in February.
Cybersecurity mesh provides decentralized safety and swarm AI for remote-first enterprises - Channel969
Be a part of executives from July 26-28 for Remodel's AI & Edge Week. Hear from high leaders talk about matters surrounding AL/ML know-how, conversational AI, IVA, NLP, Edge, and extra. Cybersecurity mesh has been named a high strategic know-how development for 2022 by Gartner. In line with Gartner's report, cybersecurity mesh is a cutting-edge conceptual safety structure methodology that permits right this moment's scattered enterprises to increase and implement safety the place it's most wanted. David Carvalho, CEO and founding father of cybersecurity community Naoris Protocol, instructed VentureBeat through e-mail that cybersecurity mesh is a versatile, composable structure that integrates broadly distributed safety companies.
Malicious AI: Not Just Sci-Fi - AI Summary
Malicious AI refers to the use of AI and machine learning to augment offensive cyber-attacks, enabling adversaries to launch highly targeted and sophisticated attack campaigns at greater speed and scale than ever before. AI will supercharge the mission on multiple fronts, creating stealthier, faster and more effective attacks which blend into normal background activity, and which are almost impossible to counter using traditional security controls. In the face of malicious AI, only defensive AI can meaningfully fight back. Autonomous Response technology leverages AI to generate surgical responses to in-progress cyber-attacks as soon as they appear. Malicious AI refers to the use of AI and machine learning to augment offensive cyber-attacks, enabling adversaries to launch highly targeted and sophisticated attack campaigns at greater speed and scale than ever before.

A new paper published by the Government on the 18th July 2018 called'Establishing A Pro-Innovation Approach To Regulating AI' states that the regulation of artificial intelligence in the UK will be underpinned by 6 core principles designed to manage the risks that come with the technology. The six core principles will be applied across all sectors of the economy on a non-statutory basis, complemented by context-specific regulatory guidance and voluntary standards that will be implemented by UK regulators such as the Information Commissioner's Office. Hence, there will be no central AI regulator, but instead sector regulators who will apply the 6 core principles to artificial intelligence systems operated within the area they oversee. Given these proposals, the UK is adopting a far more light-touch risk-based approach compared to the more prescriptive and standardized one being pursued by the EU, which published its draft AI Act back in 2021. The UK approach to artificial intelligence will instead focus upon proportionality, with the regulatory framework for artificial intelligence systems being determined by the industry and context in which the system is being deployed.
Data Engineer, Mid
Are you excited at the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by a data set? Are you fascinated by the possibilities presented by the IoT, machine learning, and artificial intelligence advances? In an increasingly connected world, massive amounts of structured and unstructured data open up new opportunities. As a data scientist, you can turn these complex data sets into useful information to solve global challenges. Across private and public sectors -- from fraud detection, to cancer research, to national intelligence -- you know the answers are in the data.
Nigeria's fragile security architecture is collapsing
Earlier this month, attacks that took place within minutes of each other in different parts of Nigeria, and the apparent failure of the security forces to respond to them efficiently and in a timely manner, exposed how big of a threat lawlessness and impunity currently poses to the country and its people. Late on July 5, heavily armed men on motorcycles raided the Kuje Medium Security Custodial Centre on the outskirts of Abuja and released more than 900 inmates, including more than 60 Boko Haram members in detention. The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) – an offshoot of Boko Haram now allied with the ISIL (ISIS) group – claimed responsibility for the attack. Just hours before the Kuje incident, another group of heavily armed men had attacked a convoy carrying an advance security team for President Muhammadu Buhari in his home state of Katsina. A presidential spokesperson said the convoy carrying a team of security guards, as well as protocol and media officers, was on its way to Daura, Buhari's hometown, to prepare for a visit by him when the attack took place.
The transatlantic AI divide
Washington and Brussels are both preparing for a future dominated by artificial intelligence -- but first, they need to get out of each other's way. Tech regulators on both sides of the Atlantic hope to prevent a split on AI rules like one seen on data privacy, where regulators in Europe got out ahead of their U.S. counterparts and sparked all kinds of havoc that continue to threaten transatlantic data flows. "There is a lot of interest to avoid having segmented approaches," said Elham Tabassi, chief of staff in the Information Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. But regulators in the EU and U.S. are already taking different approaches to the multi-trillion-dollar transatlantic tech economy. The EU is plowing ahead with mandatory AI rules meant to safeguard privacy and civil rights while the U.S. focuses on voluntary guidelines.
Watch: Ukraine Army Successfully Destroys 3 Russian Tanks Using Drones
The Ukrainian Army on Tuesday announced it had destroyed three more tanks belonging to the Russian army using only attack drones. The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) said their officers successfully destroyed three T-72s, Russian battle tanks commonly used by the Soviet Army in the 1970s. The SSU did not specify when and where the attack happened. It is also unclear if there were any casualties. The SSU's report on the recent attack comes just days after it released an audio of an intercepted phone call where a Russian soldier, whose identity was not revealed, told his mother that Ukrainian soldiers who attacked their unit destroyed their tanks and killed more than a dozen comrades.
Should artificial intelligence be regulated?
On Wednesday, July 27 at 19:30 GMT: In the past decade, artificial intelligence technologies have spread into almost every field. From healthcare and job hiring, to law enforcement and transportation, AI software is advancing our lives through automation. But there's also growing concern over some of the unintended consequences of AI – including privacy issues, algorithms that discriminate against race and gender, and flawed code that could threaten people's safety and civil liberties. More governments are now looking towards regulations for AI technology. In March, China's AI regulatory system went into effect, while nations like the UK and Canada have released proposals in recent weeks. Some technologists worry that more legal hurdles could stifle innovation, while proponents for regulation say the laws aren't keeping up with rapid movements in the industry.
