Telecom giant Nippon Telegraph and Telephone will launch a business-use generative artificial intelligence platform in March, in an effort to catch up with foreign rivals in the fast-expanding market. The AI platform has higher Japanese language processing capabilities than ChatGPT, a widely used AI chatbot developed by U.S.-based OpenAI, NTT said earlier in the month. The new AI model, called tsuzumi, named after a Japanese hand drum used in traditional events, can read documents containing charts and diagrams. NTT said it aims for annual sales of over ¥100 billion ($670 million) in this AI platform business by 2027. "The market size will grow bigger and bigger as many companies compete with each other," NTT President Akira Shimada said during a news conference in early November.

Wait, the artificial intelligence (AI) advantage is already here and gone? That's what Deloitte warns in the report "Future in the balance? How countries are pursuing an AI advantage." "There are indications that the window for competitive differentiation with AI is rapidly closing.

In 2011, cybersecurity researcher and entrepreneur Stuart McClure spent his last year working at McAfee, as the company's global chief technology officer, apologizing a lot. McClure said hackers were slipping into McAfee customer networks and each subsequent breach seemed worse than the last. McClure would have to meet with each of the big McAfee corporate customers to explain why the software failed and at the end of each meeting someone would ask McClure the same question: "'What type of security software do you use on your machine to prevent cyber attacks?'" The customers would then wait, pens poised above a piece of paper to jot down the long list of layer after layer of high-end software that the global CTO of a multimillion-dollar security company would surely recommend. "I would tell them I only trust my brain and my hand, because there are no new ways to breach a network," says McClure of his former employer, which is now owned by Intel.

Google will create business tools and products based on its own artificial intelligence technology, seeking to entice more companies to rent its cloud-computing services. The Alphabet Inc. unit plans to offer services such as audio transcription and image identification built around its machine-learning software. Google has used this technology for its own products, and is now making the capabilities available for other companies to rent and access over the Internet. The company also said it won several new large cloud customers, including the interactive division of Walt Disney Co., which now runs a web-subscription service on Google's cloud, and Coca-Cola Co., which rented Google servers for a World Cup marketing campaign. Google wants to broaden the appeal of its cloud services to more corporate customers.
