FOX News

Fox News Flash top sports headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. Tuesday's bombshell news that the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and LIV Golf would merge in order to "unify the game of golf, on a global basis" took almost everybody by surprise.

While many are unhappy with the agreement, one ESPN analyst is a big fan of the move.


Beware the Privacy Violations in Artificial Intelligence Applications

#artificialintelligence

It has been proposed that, "Privacy matters to the electorate, and smart business looks at how to use data to find out information while remaining in compliance with regulatory rules." Since "smart business" also consists of "the electorate" as employees, at least one burning question is whether privacy or ethical violations in technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) will really matter sufficiently to employees who may be more concerned about putting food on the table than about raising concerns or performing whistleblowing, with potentially negative job consequences for them? And what happens if the country, region, or sector is too immature to have meaningful regulatory rules to comply with? Does it then become a case of almost anything goes? After all, no laws will be broken by the "smart business" in this case.


Hyperconvergence, edge and IoT: a powerful synergy

#artificialintelligence

Neville Vincent says the combination of hyperconverged infrastructure, edge computing and AI is driving value and insights to new levels. While cloud has been a key component to AI's exponential growth and its availability on nearly every technological device, the combination of hyperconverged infrastructure HCI), edge computing and AI provides the ideal environment to uncover patterns in data from multiple devices and predict future performance or issues. It is driving value and insights to new levels. The adoption of hybrid cloud -- enabled by HCI and public cloud and combined with AI and data gathered from the edge -- offers granular visibility into operations, enabling real-time, comprehensive and actionable intelligence. Through this combination businesses will become self-learning, flexible, self-determining and able to adopt next-generation infrastructure to help realign their operations, personnel, business and even business models.


What Is The ROI Of Diversity? Why Creating A Culture Of Inclusivity Is More Than Fair--It's Smart Business

#artificialintelligence

"Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance." When I started becoming an engineer as an undergrad, I was quickly confronted with a startling realization: there were very few women in that field. In my classes, I was surrounded by men. And when recruiters came to campus, they were all men too. It soon became clear that if I was going to be an engineer, I'd have to get used to the fact that there weren't going to be many people like me.


The smart business of securing against home invasion - IoT Tech Expo

#artificialintelligence

In director Michael Mann's 2015 film Blackhat, a major breach of security is made on a supposedly failsafe international shipping port via a humble drinks vending machine. No longer Hollywood fiction, it's clear that hackers will seek the weakest link in the chain and with more and more devices connected to the internet that chain is growing exponentially. There's no place more vulnerable than the home where all manner of seemingly innocuous appliances and devices, from your fridge to energy and lighting systems, present a web of opportunity for personal invasion. Though still in their infancy, IoT and smart homes are gaining traction. By 2020, Gartner Research forecasts approximately 20.8 billion IoT enabled devices worldwide, while IDC projects a $1.7 trillion global IoT market.


Everything Alibaba Does Differently -- and Better

#artificialintelligence

Alibaba is not a retailer in the traditional sense. It doesn't source or keep stock, and logistics services are carried out by third-party providers. Instead, Alibaba is what you get if you take all the functions associated with retail and coordinate them online into a sprawling, data-driven network of sellers, marketers, service providers, logistics companies, and manufacturers. Indeed, Alibaba does what Amazon, eBay, PayPal, Google, FedEx, all of the wholesalers, and a good portion of manufacturers in the U.S. do, with a healthy helping of financial services for garnish. Alibaba achieves this by leveraging the new technologies of network coordination and data intelligence.


Smart Business: automated sentiments analysis on top

The modern world seems really fast and dynamic with a multitude of new products being launched. Marketing agencies are making fortune by monitoring the markets and delivering reports on consumers' opinions. For today, the feedback analysis is a separate area, let's say a growing industry with an array of products and services. And the prices for those services are pretty exorbitant. So, do vendors have a chance to cut down expenses?
