AI technology developed to combat cyber attacks
An AI technology that automatically determines whether action needs to be taken in response to a cyber attack has been developed by Fujitsu Laboratories. When a business network has been hit with a cyber attack, various security appliances detect the attack on the network's servers and devices.
Neural compute stick delivers smarter AI algorithms
The Neural Compute Stick 2 (NCS2) from Intel is designed to build smarter AI algorithms and for prototyping computer vision at the network edge. It affordably speeds the development of deep neural networks inference applications while delivering a performance boost over the previous generation neural compute stick. The NCS2 is available immediately on www.Rutronik24.com.
The AI invasion: who’ll be first to get taken over?
The robotic revolution is set to cause the biggest transformation in the world’s workforce since the industrial revolution. In fact, research suggests that over 30% of jobs in Britain are under threat from breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Thanks to advances in technology, many jobs that weren’t considered ripe for automation suddenly are. Is your job next? Find out how many jobs per sector, are at high risk of being take...
