The workshop will be led by two AI security experts with years in the field, and will demystify Artificial Intelligence before exploring its application in cyber defense. Dr. Kalyan Veeramachaneni is currently a research scientist at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), and has been conducting research in the field for years. He will be joined by Dr. Ignacio Arnaldo, the Chief Data Scientist at PatternEx and former researcher at MIT CSAIL. Together they will facilitate an interactive, vendor agnostic discussion which will provide a foundation for understanding emerging artificial intelligence solutions in InfoSec. "During the time that we have been talking with security leaders from around the world we have found a strong interest in the potential of AI in InfoSec, but there is too much jargon and marketing speak out there," comments Travis Reed, CMO for PatternEx.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display

Some of society's brightest minds have warned that artificial intelligence (AI) may lead to dangerous unintended consequences, yet leaders of the U.S. intelligence community--with its vast budgets and profound capabilities--have yet to decide who within these organizations is responsible for the ethics of their AI creations. When a new capability is conceived or developed, the intelligence community does not assign anyone responsibility for anticipating how a new AI algorithm may go awry. If scenario-based exercises were conducted, the intelligence community provides no guidelines for deciding when a risk is too great and a system should not be built and assigns no authority to make such decisions. Intelligence agencies use advanced algorithms to interpret the meaning of intercepted communications, identify persons of interest and anticipate major events within troves of data too large for humans to analyze. If artificial intelligence is the ability of computers to create intelligence that humans alone could not have achieved, then the U.S. intelligence community invests in machines with such capabilities.

AirMap is an app that gives drone pilots access to low-altitude navigational info. The wildfire alerts it gets from the US Department of the Interior is more up-to-date than the ones published by the Federal Aviation Administration. If you'll recall, the local government of California offered a 75,000 reward in 2015 to catch the drone pilots who flew their UAVs over three different forest fires. Authorities can override temporary restrictions by logging into authorized DJI accounts, though, so first responders can still use DJI's machines to assess affected locations.

When a new capability is conceived or developed, the intelligence community does not assign anyone responsibility for anticipating how a new AI algorithm may go awry. A computer algorithm issues orders to buy a stock and floods the market with hundreds or thousands of apparently separate orders to buy the same stock. Other algorithms take note of this sudden demand and start raising their buy and sell offers, confident that the market is demanding a higher price. The first algorithm registers this response and sells its shares of stock for the newly higher price, making a tidy profit.

It's been a startling 17 quarters since IBM has produced any sales growth, when compared to the year-ago quarter. The slide was somewhat inevitable, as CEO Ginni Rometty took on the unenviable task of trying to modernize the company and started selling off commoditized businesses she saw as being marginal to IBM's future. Since taking the reins at IBM in 2012, she has shifted the company's focus to cloud services, as well as analytics, cybersecurity, and other more modern tech services that big companies might need--which she refers to as "strategic imperatives." She also committed to investing 1 billion in Watson, the company's cognitive computing software, as it aims to sell the artificial intelligence software platform to companies. Her strategies seems to be working: The "strategic imperatives" and cloud business lines grew 12% and 30% respectively in the second quarter, accounting for over half of the company's revenue for the period.

Reuters reported Tuesday that Germany's Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt plans legislation requiring self-driving cars be outfitted with data-recording systems in an effort to bring more accountability and to give automakers and engineers a chance to learn from the systems' mistakes. The proposal would enable autonomous car users to divert some of their attention from traffic while the systems are on as long as they are seated at the wheel but require that they maintain black boxes that track when the programs request drivers take over.

The Rio Olympics 2016 is something everyone is looking forward to. But the Olympics have been a frontier for individuals flexing their physical muscles and achieving greatness. Well, it's time for it to move over to the Cyber Grand Challenge (CGC) is here. Individuals wanting to showcase their brain muscles in a competition could change how we defend against cyber attacks. The challenge organized by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the United States where the seven finalists will battle it out with the Artificial Intelligence system to detect flaws and scan networks for exploits.
