CalypsoAI, a California-based company that specializes in artificial intelligence and machine learning cybersecurity, announced this week that it has raised $13 million in a Series A funding round. Founded in 2018, CalypsoAI offers a software platform, named Vespr, that enables customers to validate, monitor and secure their AI. Vespr is described as an integrated model accreditation and risk management system that can be used to create, test and deploy models with built-in validation and security.
A working group led by two computer scientists Wolfgang Maass and Robert Legenstein of TU Graz has adopted this principle in the development of the new machine learning algorithm e-prop. Learning is a particular challenge for such less active networks, since it takes longer observations to determine which neuron connections improve network performance.
Vickery also talks to Threatpost about fringe data breach discoveries he's encountered over the last few years, as well as how the process of data breach disclosure is shifting and the best first steps companies can take once a data breach has been discovered. So just for all of our listeners, Chris works at UpGuard, and he has a great track record of discovering major data breaches and vulnerabilities across the digital landscape.
Lynx Analytics announces the open source release of its Complete Graph Data Science Platform, LynxKite 4.0, after years of development and successful deployments with customers. With rapidly growing availability of network and relationship data as well as new graph deep learning technologies, Graph AI is the next frontier of machine learning as advocated by leading machine learning experts.
More than 1,000 technology experts and academics from organizations such as MIT, Microsoft, Harvard and Google have signed an open letter denouncing a forthcoming paper describing artificial intelligence algorithms that can predict crime based only on a person's face, calling it out for promoting racial bias and propagating a #TechtoPrisonPipeline. The paper describes an "Automated computer facial recognition software capable of predicting whether someone is likely going to be a criminal," according to a press release about the research.
One interesting, and perhaps concerning, revelation from the study is that 78% of hackers believe they will outperform AI for the next 10 years. AI is often touted as the great hope for cybersecurity, but if ethical hackers believe they are better, then so will blackhat hackers.
Puny humans still think they're superior to AI when it comes to infosec - and a significant number still don't venture into meatspace or get enough sunlight. So reckons a survey carried out on behalf of Bugcrowd, which also made the edifying finding that 64 per cent of independent infosec researchers are on median incomes below $25,000/year - with half being aged 24 or younger.
Thanks to its agile and strong product design and development capabilities, Inspur is one of the first in the industry to support the NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPU and build up a comprehensive and competitive next-generation AI computing platform. The NVIDIA A100 offers multi-instance GPU technology, which enables a single GPU to be partitioned into seven hardware-isolated instances to work on multiple networks simultaneously.
