The world has never seen a smart toilet like this, which is described in a new study from Stanford University that was published in Nature Biomedical Engineering on Monday. Sure, you can get a "Smart" toilet that offers ambient colored lighting, wireless Bluetooth music sync capability, heated seat, foot warmer, and automatic lid opening and closing, but regular, not-all-THAT-smart-after-all toilets can't diagnose disease.
Countering cyber-threats is a constant game of cat and mouse and hackers always want to get the maximum reward from the minimum effort, tweaking known attack methods as soon as these are detected by the AI. CTOs therefore need to make sure that the AI system is routinely exercised and fed new data and that the algorithms are trained to understand the new data. AI is based on heuristics whereas machine learning requires a lot of data and algorithms that must be trained to learn the data and provide insights that will help to make decisions.
AI, whose artificial intelligence software is purpose-built for engineers, scientists, and researchers and enables them to innovate and make discoveries faster, announced that it had completed contributions to TensorFlow, the world's most popular open-source framework for deep learning created by Google. "Part of Noble's mission is building AI that's accessible to engineers, scientists and researchers, anytime and anywhere, without needing to learn or re-skill into computer science or AI theory," said Dr. Matthew C. Levy, Founder and CEO of Noble.
Researchers at the University of Notre Dame are using artificial intelligence to develop an early warning system that will identify manipulated images, deepfake videos and disinformation online. The scalable, automated system uses content-based image retrieval and applies computer vision-based techniques to root out political memes from multiple social networks.
Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, highlighted that more organizations are using Red Hat OpenShift as the foundation for building artificial intelligence and machine-learning data science workflows and AI-powered intelligent applications. Customer and ecosystem interest in AI/ML. The customer momentum seen by Red Hat validates the AI/ML findings from the recent 2020 Red Hat Global Customer Tech Outlook report.
Guard Dog Solutions, of Salt Lake City, has formally launched the world's first AI-driven solution to preemptively and proactively combat and eliminate public and private Wi-Fi cyber security threats. The majority of "Virtual" working environments accessing VPN from homes are actually dangerous, the company notes, as end points on Wi-Fi systems make it alarmingly easy for hackers to access data through VPNs. As businesses move to support mobile workers, they need to ask their ISPs and MSSPs about Guard Dog Solutions and the Proactive Threat Elimination™ security it brings.
More than half of enterprises are in the "Mature" phase of AI adoption - defined by those currently using AI for analysis or in production - while about one third are evaluating AI, and 15% report not doing anything with AI, an O'Reilly survey reveals. Currently, just one-fifth of respondent organizations report having formal data governance processes and/or tools to support and complement their AI projects, similar to findings uncovered in the survey.
NCI Information Systems, a leading provider of advanced information technology solutions and professional services to U.S. federal government agencies, announced the launch of the NCI Empower platform to accelerate artificial intelligence adoption in the public sector. "Our philosophy has always been that by Scaling Humans with Artificial Intelligence, or Shai, a workforce can be empowered to reach their full human potential," said Paul A. Dillahay, president and CEO of NCI. "Today, we are excited to take that philosophy one step further with the announcement of our NCI Empower platform."
Dataiku, the leading Enterprise AI and machine learning platform, announced the release of Dataiku 7, bringing deeper integration for technical data professionals to work on machine learning project development and row-level explainability for white-box AI. Additional feature highlights with this latest release include Kubernetes-powered web apps to expand on the capabilities introduced in Dataiku 6 and a machine learning-assisted data labeling plugin. "Collaboration has been at the core of Dataiku since our founding in 2013, and with Dataiku 7, we're continuing to add features that deepen our philosophy to effectively democratize AI in the enterprise," said Dataiku CEO, Florian Douetteau.
Security company is using thermal imaging and AI to identify people with a temperature of 100 degrees. Lisa Falzone, co-founder and CEO of Athena Security, said the platform combines infrared cameras and an algorithm that analyzes body temperature to detect people who have a temperature higher than 100 degrees.
