Exploration on Confidential Computing for Big Data & AI using BigDL

#artificialintelligence

Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) is a securing computing tool that generates a trusted execution environment (TEE) for users that need secure and confidential environments for such use cases as private key management, multi-party computing with private data, and securing public cloud deployment for critical applications. While the Intel SGX SDK for Linux* OS successfully tackles these important use cases, its implementation is not simple. It can require significant system redesign and code changes by engineers because under the SGX SDK's threat model, the OS is not trusted, and only trusted applications and code can be worked on in the secure environment portioned out by SGX, i.e., an "enclave." Therefore, the trusted and untrusted components of the applications involved need to be separated. Moreover, engineers will then need to re-engineer some of their code base to ensure it will be trusted in this enclave.


I Predict a Landslide: Using Big Data & AI to Prevent Natural Disasters

#artificialintelligence

Landslides have caused more than 11,500 fatalities in 70 countries between 2007-2010. Over 1000 people were victims of a landslide that hit Sierra Leone in August 2017. The situation is getting worse as the volume and intensity of rainfall in West Africa is increasing. In April, Colombia's landslide left at least 254 dead and hundreds missing. Landslides are challenging across various levels, for example: social, economic, infrastructural, and environmental.


China: Big data & AI to help combat health insurance fraud

#artificialintelligence

The announcement came after Hu Jinglin, director of the National Healthcare Security Administration, made a pledge during the ongoing annual two sessions in Beijing that it will severely crack down on fraudulent practices affecting the country's healthcare insurance funds. The health insurance sector has long been plagued with various fraud cases, like fabricated medical services and documents and fake invoices. Last November, two hospitals in Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, were accused of insurance scams, which prompted the regulators to audit other medical institutions. While much progress has been made since supervision was tightened, the overall situation remains "grim", so it will be a top priority for the authorities to carry on the fight against insurance fraud in 2019. The administration will partner with more third-party service providers like Ping An HealthKonnect to identify potential fraud risks and gain better control of medical insurance costs by leveraging their advanced technologies in areas of big data and artificial intelligence.
