All eyes on AI, machine learning at Cocon 2018

KOCHI: It could well be a harbinger of'machine learning'. In tune with the'technology' strewn around the venue of Cocon 2018, a robot stepped forward to deliver an inaugural speech at Hotel Grand Hyatt on Friday. The annual two-day international cybersecurity conference organised by the Kerala Police, Information Security Research Association and the Society for the Policing of Cyber space (POLCYB) literally marked the advent of artificial intelligence and machine learning. The Robot- Inkar Sabot- struggled a bit to adopt its technical expertise. But it made the audience awestruck when it started delivering the speech in a pre-loaded UK accented English. State police chief Loknath Behera, who was the chief guest of the international conference, said with the darknet (a computer network with restricted access using for illegal peer-to-peer file sharing) posing a threat, the Kerala Cyberdome is all set to intrude into it to stop the criminal activities.
