Today, hackers are winning the game, and the long list of successful breaches is their scorecard. Traditional endpoint security can't keep up. Outdated perimeter defenses are being rendered ineffective. And the approaches of many security vendors are only designed to fill the holes in the boat as it sinks to the bottom. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning security tools, combined with human expertise, offer a better way forward.

The increasing speed of unpredictable and chaotic events collapses the tactical decision space for military commanders and first responders. Forward sensor fusion with edge-based processing accelerates recognitional decision making by widening the decision-maker's aperture to a greater number of sensor inputs and a wider array of sensor types. Cognitive computing tools compare signals to patterns to automate decision cues and open the door to meta-cognition, discovery of new patterns, and continuous improvement of decision models. The new BlueforceEDGE Image Recognition Plugin enhance's real-time recognition and speed of decision for operators and fixed and mobile command nodes by recognizing persons of interest as well as object recognition. BlueforceEDGE V3 ("EDGE") software delivers an extensible autonomous agent software platform that enables sensors from multiple manufacturers to be fused into a secure and interoperable stream of data enabling a single pane of glass view of your entire mission space. EDGE not only extends access to sensors from disparate manufacturers, but also allows development of software plugins providing access to enterprise services, iamge recognition systems, video and data analytics, rules engines, and more.

Algorithms created at Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey can teach robots to adapt to changing conditions related to protecting and preserving underwater infrastructure. Researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey have created algorithms to teach robots to adapt to changing conditions related to protecting and preserving underwater infrastructure. Stevens' Brendan Englot leads a group that uses reinforcement learning algorithms trained on sonar data. The group's robots emit high-frequency chirps and measure how long it takes the sound to return after reflecting off surrounding structures, gathering data and acquiring situational awareness while various forces buffet them. The research team recently dispatched a robot to autonomously map a Manhattan pier without a prior model.

India is considering the military usage of Artificial Intelligence for national security and military strategic purposes and the government is studying a report recommending the duel use of technology in aviation, naval, land systems, cyber, nuclear and biological warfare. Minister of State for Defence Subhash Bhamre told the Lok Sabha that the ministry has initiated the process of preparing Indian defence forces in their use of Artificial Intelligence and leveraging India's capabilities in machine learning sectors. This, he said, has a potential to fuel technology driven economic growth and provide military superiority. To study the strategic implications of Artificial Intelligence on national security, a multi-stakeholder task force comprising the government, services, academia, industry, professionals and startups was constituted in February this year. The group led by Natarajan Chandrasekharan, Chairman Tata Sons, was tasked to prepare a road map for Artificial Intelligence for national security purposes.

Google may be developing a special version of its search engine that would allow certain information to disappear in China. It would not be the first time a company has done so – and it would not even be the first time Google has done so. The decision has turned fresh attention to China's internet censorship regime, so wide-ranging that it has been labelled the "Great Firewall" and so powerful that it has allowed the government to ban people from using a single letter. The suggestion that China could be partnering with the regime has been attacked by human rights campaigners and others, who suggested that Google relenting on censorship would be a "dark day", in the words of Amnesty International. It would not be the first of such days, as Google would follow a whole host of companies including LinkedIn that already censor their users as the price of operating in China.

"At this moment, it's not a particularly hospitable environment," said Mark Natkin, managing director of industry research firm Marbridge Consulting. "I'd imagine getting such a search permit would be difficult, if not impossible for the company." In the past week, Apple Inc. came under fire from Chinese state media for not doing enough to block illegal content. The week before, Qualcomm Inc. abandoned its acquisition of Dutch chip maker NXP Semiconductors NV after a deadline to gain approval in China passed. About the same time, Facebook Inc. announced plans to build an "innovation hub" for developers in eastern China--but the business license was then pulled, and the project appears to have been sidelined.

Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider produce about a million gigabytes of data every second. Even after reduction and compression, the data amassed in just one hour at the LHC is similar to the data volume Facebook collects in an entire year. Luckily, particle physicists don't have to deal with all of that data all by themselves. They partner with a form of artificial intelligence that learns how to do complex analyses on its own, called machine learning. "Compared to a traditional computer algorithm that we design to do a specific analysis, we design a machine learning algorithm to figure out for itself how to do various analyses, potentially saving us countless man-hours of design and analysis work," says College of William & Mary physicist Alexander Radovic, who works on the NOvA neutrino experiment.

If QAnon's claims were true, they would shake the very foundations of global government and explain the confusion of politics in recent years. As it is, they are not true – but their importance could nonetheless be hugely significant. It might have been destined to stay as an underground conspiracy theory. But it has quickly taken root both online and off – becoming a feature of Trump rallies and being shared by some of the most important people in the media. It is undeniably dark: it accuses some of the most powerful people in the world of some of the most heinous crimes.

Google has been criticised over reports that it is working on a version of its search engine meant to hide information requested by the Chinese government. The new tool would be a way for Google to get around the vast rules that are placed on what can be shared online in the country. Google withdrew from China in 2010, amid uproar about the fact it was being forced to censor certain information. But the new plan appears to be an attempt to try and get the company back in, by making sure that censoring is happening in an agreeable way. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
