#artificialintelligence

Dutch submersible manufacturer U-Boat Worx breaks the mould with the launch of the NEXUS series. U-Boat Worx is the market leader in private and commercial submersibles. Since 2017, the company has sold more than 20 of its highly successful Cruise Subs to private operators, resorts, and cruise lines. The NEXUS series comprises two models featuring an ultra-large elliptical acrylic pressure hull with unrivalled passenger comfort. Seating up to eight passengers and one pilot, the NEXUS provides 25% more interior space than competing models.


Is science fiction or reality? Is Russia using artificial intelligence weapons in Ukraine?

#artificialintelligence

The drone, loaded with explosives, crashed without exploding, crashing its nose into its stomach like a dead fish, twisting its rear propeller and crashing or firing. Initially overthrown by Ukrainian forces. The image of the plane quickly spread on social media, and armament experts have identified it as the "KUB-BLA" model produced by Russian arms manufacturer Kalashnikov's drone division "Sala Aero", colloquially known as the "Comics Drone". It can fly spontaneously to a specific area and then hover around it for up to 30 minutes before exploding itself, like a suicide bomber does. The most advanced Comicase suicide planes today belong to the category of weapons known as automatic weapons, and are considered by experts to be the third revolution in the world of war after gunpowder and nuclear weapons. The evolution from landmines to guided missiles was a precursor to true AI-powered autonomy.


China's Xi proposes 'global security initiative,' without giving details

The Japan Times

BOAO, China – Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday proposed a "global security initiative" that upholds the principle of "indivisible security," a concept also endorsed by Russia, although he gave no details of how it would be implemented. During a video speech to the annual Boao Asia Forum, Xi said that the world should respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, while paying attention to the "legitimate" security concerns of all. "We should uphold the principle of indivisibility of security, build a balanced, effective and sustainable security architecture, and oppose the building of national security on the basis of insecurity in other countries," Xi told the gathering on the southern Chinese island of Hainan. In talks over Ukraine, Russia has insisted that Western governments respect a 1999 agreement based on the principle of "indivisible security" that no country can strengthen its own security at the expense of others'. China and Russia have grown increasingly close, and China has refused to condemn Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow calls a "special operation" to demilitarize the country.


Using Unsupervised Learning to Combat Cyber Threats

#artificialintelligence

As the world enters a fully digital age, cyber threats are on the rise with massive data breaches, hacks into personal and financial data, and any other digital source that people can exploit. To combat these attacks, security experts are increasingly tapping into AI to stay a step ahead using every tool in their toolbox including unsupervised learning methods. Machine learning in the cybersecurity space is considered to still be in its infancy stage, but there has been a lot of traction since 2020 to have more AI involved in the process of combating cyber threats. Understanding how machine learning can be used in cyber security, recognizing the need for unsupervised learning methods in cyber security, and knowing how to implement AI in combating cyber attacks are the key to fighting cybercrime in the years ahead. The scary thing about cybercrime is that it can take up to six months to even detect a breach, and it takes an average of roughly 50 days from the time a breach is found to the time it is reported.


Man Puts an AI Brain in a Microwave, It Tries to Kill Him

#artificialintelligence

Lucas Rizzotto, a YouTuber from Brazil, had no idea what to expect when he gave his Alexa powered smart microwave a brain transplant, replacing the Amazon... 21.04.2022, What he created is a frightening abomination of a poet with an affinity towards Hitler, the British crown and the ending of what it calls the parasitic American empire. Oh, and it wants to kill its creator. There is that, too.Rizzotto, who makes humorous videos about technology projects he builds, used an imaginary friend he had as a child who happened to be embodied in his family's microwave as inspiration. "Magnetron" was a turn-of-the-century British poet who served in World War I, lost his family to the war and later became an expert StarCraft player.


AI Takes Bite Out of Dental Slide Misses by Assisting Doctors

#artificialintelligence

Your next trip to the dentist might offer a taste of AI. Pearl, a West Hollywood startup, provides AI for dental images to assist in diagnosis. It landed FDA clearance last month, the first to get such a go-ahead for dentistry AI. The approval paves the way for its use in clinics across the United States. "It's really a first of its kind for dentistry," said Ophir Tanz, co-founder and CEO of Pearl.

How AI will Help Organizations Stay Ahead of Cyberattacks - insideBIGDATA

#artificialintelligence

It's seemingly a weekly occurrence that a business suffers a major cyberattack and makes headlines. Companies are more challenged than ever to keep their business secure. As a result, 71% anticipate their cybersecurity budgets to increase in the next three years, despite investments in other IT segments decreasing. Using AI in cybersecurity tooling is not new. We are still in the early stages of seeing the benefit that AI can bring to the levels of protection offered.


NASA lunar backpack could give astronauts the ability to generate a 3D map

Daily Mail - Science & tech

NASA's next generation lunar backpack could give astronauts the ability to create a 3D map of the surface of the moon, as they walk across the regolith. The Kinematic Navigation and Cartography Knapsack (KNaCK) is a mobile lidar scanner, worn as a backpack that uses light and lasers to measure range. NASA researchers and industry partners developed the device that can not only aid astronauts in the airless wastelands of the Lunar South Pole, but also on the Earth. One suggested use is for a mountaineering expedition in an unchartered environment. The hikers can create a real-time map for others in the party, as well as other hikers that might come after them - all from a simple backpack.


US delivers 'Phoenix Ghost' drone designed by US Air Force specifically for Ukrainian 'needs': DOD

FOX News

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. The Pentagon announced Thursday that it will deliver over 120 "Phoenix Ghost" drones specifically designed by the U.S. Air Force for Ukrainian "needs" as the war with Russia ramps up. U.S. defense officials have warned that Russia's invasion in the eastern Luhansk and Donetsk regions will be a more brutal fight as Moscow "shapes" its new strategy in the Donbas region to address specific terrain challenges. A senior defense official told reporters Thursday that the "Phoenix Ghost" is a tactical unmanned aerial system that "was rapidly developed by the Air Force in response specifically to Ukrainian requirements."
