How machine learning can help small businesses deal with data privacy compliance

#artificialintelligence

Data privacy is one of the leading concerns for businesses to ensure confidentiality and preserve trust. Over the last few decades, the digital footprints of our society have shown exceptional growth. But, this digital revolution is striking hard over privacy concerns of individuals. According to Pew Research, 81% of Americans report the potential risk of data collected by companies overshadowing the benefits they receive from those businesses. Data privacy is not a matter only crucial to big companies.


Council Post: Big Challenges That AI Can Help Overcome And Steps Companies Can Take To Embrace It

Debanjan Saha is CEO of DataRobot and a visionary technologist with leadership experience at top tech companies such as Google, AWS and IBM. We may be on our way to a greater economic downturn as we look to 2023. Automation software and technologies that increase companies' insights and efficiencies tend to be contra-cyclical (doing better in down markets) as companies look to do more with less. AI-driven companies can exploit differences in time to action relative to competitors--even ones that have already created a strong business intelligence (BI) framework, according to a McKinsey Global Institute analysis. According to another McKinsey report, AI's impact on the bottom line is growing, with the share of respondents reporting at least 5% of earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) that's attributable to AI increasing from 22% to 27% year over year.


The Download: how a racing AI won, and taking on biotech's big challenges

MIT Technology Review

How?" Emily Jones wasn't used to being left behind. A top sim-racing driver with multiple wins to her name, Jones jerked the steering wheel in the esports rig, eyes fixed on the screen in front of her: "I'm pushing way too hard to keep up-- How does it do that?" Built by Sony AI, a research lab launched by the company in 2020, Gran Turismo Sophy is a computer program trained to control racing cars inside the world of Gran Turismo, a video game known for its super-realistic simulations of real vehicles and tracks. In a series of events held behind closed doors last year, Sony put its program up against the best humans on the professional sim-racing circuit. What they discovered during those racetrack battles--and the ones that followed--could help shape the future of machines that work alongside humans, or join us on the roads.


Can AI Predict If Your House Is Going To Burn To The Ground?

Standing on the outskirts of Oakland, California, Attila Toth takes in the nearby forested hills. The CEO looks out on what locals call "The Town" and, in the distance, San Francisco, or "The City." Close by, Toth sees tangles of redwood, eucalyptus and oak trees – and the wildfire risk they pose. This "wildland-urban interface" isn't far from the site of the 1991 Oakland Hills Fire, which flared up suddenly in a heavily residential area. Over four days, 3,000 thousand homes were destroyed in one of the city's wealthiest neighborhoods, causing an estimated $1.5 billion in damages ($3.2 billion in today's dollars).


La veille de la cybersécurité

#artificialintelligence

As researchers and engineers race to develop new artificial intelligence systems for the U.S. military, they must consider how the technology could lead to accidents with catastrophic consequences. In a startling, but fictitious, scenario, analysts at the Center for Security and Emerging Technology -- which is part of Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service -- lay out a potential doomsday storyline with phantom missile launches. In the scenario, U.S. Strategic Command relies on a new missile defense system's algorithms to detect attacks from adversaries. The system can quickly and autonomously trigger an interceptor to shoot down enemy missiles which might be armed with nuclear warheads. "One day, unusual atmospheric conditions over the Bering Strait create an unusual glare on the horizon," the report imagined.


Big Challenges In Verifying Cyber-Physical Systems

#artificialintelligence

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss cyber-physical systems and how to verify them with Jean-Marie Brunet, senior director for the Emulation Division at Siemens EDA; Frank Schirrmeister, senior group director for solution marketing at Cadence; Maurizio Griva, R&D Manager at Reply; and Laurent Maillet-Contoz, system and architect specialist at STMicroelectronics. This discussion was held at the recent Design Automation and Test In Europe (DATE) conference. SE: What are cyber-physical systems? Schirrmeister: The accepted definition is, 'It's a computer system in which a mechanism is controlled or monitored by computer based algorithms. So physical and software components are deeply intertwined, and it's able to operate on different spatial and temporal scales, exhibit multiple district behavioral modalities and interact with each other in ways that change with context. Examples include smart grid, automotive, autonomous automotive systems, medical/industrial robotics, and automated pilot.' So it's really way beyond electronics, in an area we refer to as computational software. Hardware/software was a topic in the last decade, where we all worried about how hardware and software interact.


Machine learning could aid mental health diagnoses: Study - ET CIO

#artificialintelligence

Washington: In order to accurately identify patients with a mix of psychotic and depressive symptoms, researchers from the University of Birmingham recently developed a way of using machine learning to do so. The findings of the research were published in the journal'Schizophrenia Bulletin'. Patients with depression or psychosis rarely experience symptoms of purely one or the other illness. Historically, this has meant that mental health clinicians give a diagnosis of a'primary' illness, but with secondary symptoms. Making an accurate diagnosis is a big challenge for clinicians and diagnoses often do not accurately reflect the complexity of individual experience or indeed neurobiology.

One Big Challenge for Biden? China's Push for Tech Supremacy

WIRED

As America staggered through the final stretch of a bitter and divisive US presidential election last month, China was putting the finishing touches on carefully drawn plans for economic recovery, an enhanced military, and crucially, increased technological self-reliance. The proposals, outlined in the Chinese Communist Party's latest Five Year Plan, highlight a key challenge for president-elect Joe Biden at the outset of his four-year term. President Trump's efforts to kneecap Chinese technology have only partially succeeded. Ironically, they may ultimately accelerate China's development in key cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, chipmaking, 5G, and biotechnology. Foreign policy experts say the US needs to confront China on issues such as market access, forced technology transfers, and human rights.
