In 2005, cell phones were banned for the first time during the conclave, the process by which the Catholic Church elects its new pope. Twenty years later, after the death of Pope Francis, the election process is underway again. Authorities have two priorities: to protect the integrity of those attending the meeting, and to ensure that it proceeds in strict secrecy (under penalty of excommunication and imprisonment) until the final decision is made. By 2025, the Gendarmerie corps guarding Vatican City faces unprecedented technological challenges compared to other conclaves. Among them are artificial intelligence systems, drones, military satellites, microscopic microphones, a misinformation epidemic, and a world permanently connected and informed through social media.

Following the death of Pope Francis at the age of 88, the Catholic Church must now begin the lengthy process of electing his successor. Starting at least 15 days after his death, the 135 eligible cardinals will be locked away in the legendary Conclave until they have chosen the next pope. But if you just can't wait for the world's most secretive election to run its course, MailOnline has used AI to predict the result. According to OpenAI's ChatGPT, the man set to become the next head of the Roman Catholic Church is Cardinal Pietro Parolin. As the AI points out, the 70-year-old Italian priest is seen by many as the natural heir to Pope Francis' legacy and holds an edge in current betting markets. ChatGPT said: 'As Vatican Secretary of State since 2013, Parolin is viewed as the "continuity" candidate - acceptable to both reformers and traditionalists.

Connected Autonomous Vehicles have great potential to improve automobile safety and traffic flow, especially in cooperative applications where perception data is shared between vehicles. However, this cooperation must be secured from malicious intent and unintentional errors that could cause accidents. Previous works typically address singular security or reliability issues for cooperative driving in specific scenarios rather than the set of errors together. In this paper, we propose CONClave, a tightly coupled authentication, consensus, and trust scoring mechanism that provides comprehensive security and reliability for cooperative perception in autonomous vehicles. CONClave benefits from the pipelined nature of the steps such that faults can be detected significantly faster and with less compute. Overall, CONClave shows huge promise in preventing security flaws, detecting even relatively minor sensing faults, and increasing the robustness and accuracy of cooperative perception in CAVs while adding minimal overhead.

TND-2020: A 4-hour pulsating conclave will cover scintillating keynote, fireside chats, panel discussions, focused sessions packaged with an immersive experience on the Airmeet platform is brought to you by 3AI: India's largest platform for AI & Analytics aspirants & professionals

Enterprises are now facing a new reality where traditional work practices are being challenged. Organisations are looking to address business complexities and identify new patterns in consumer behaviour to survive and evolve. CIOs must leverage cutting-edge technology solutions to tackle these challenges and create new opportunities for business in a post-pandemic world. Recently, Cloud4C and Intel jointly hosted Global CIO Leadership Conclave "Future of Technology: Beyond Covid-19," a platform for the domain experts, innovators and leading industry CIOs. The conclave focused on how to harness secure and scalable cloud solutions to tide over disruption and create future-ready enterprises.

Indian Institute of Technology Madras undertook a major effort to give a boost to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) sectors in Chennai. The Robert Bosch Center for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, IIT Madras, organized the'Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Conclave' focused on understand cutting-edge technology and innovation in the field with participation from top technology firms and think-tanks including Google, Amazon, Foxconn and TVS group among others. Prof Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director, IIT Madras, inaugurated the Conclave, which was held on 23rd October 2018. The conclave aimed at generating a greater realization of the AI/ML ecosystem in and around Chennai and facilitated the stakeholders to have a brainstorming session about the needs for this ecosystem to thrive and grow further. This event for the first time brought together a significant number of AI/ML deep technology start-ups in Chennai in a single platform.

NEW DELHI: Citing the incident where Facebook had to abandon an experiment undertaken last year where two artificially intelligent programs or chat bots appeared to be chatting to each other in a strange language which they developed on their own and only they understood, Dr. Jitendra K. Das set the tone of the conclave on "The Confluence of Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics" held recently at the FORE School of Management, New Delhi, in association with BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Dr. Das further explained how with the help of complex virtual learning techniques, a wide range of physical and cognitive tasks are being managed today with a high level of efficiency and accuracy. And as artificial intelligence or AI systems advance through machine learning these will continue to impact not just business but our lives as well. But, if indeed machines continue to improve their performance beyond human levels, a natural question to ask is whether machines will put humans' jobs at risk and reduce employment. According to Mr. Vijay Sethi, CIO and Head CSR at Hero MotoCorp Ltd., "Such a concern is not new and in fact dates back to the 1940s when AI and automation started developing."
