Breaking
Silos and Curating Data for Impactful AI
AI requires both
high-quality data and an infrastructure that ensures data is always
available. Without that foundation, we'll never reach the future.
Architecting an IT infrastructure that can break
down data silos and make information available and actionable, while
at the same time ensuring security and compliance, is already a major
challenge for enterprises. Add in the desire to run that data
through machine learning and AI functions and things become even more
challenging -- especially in the age of cloud -- when data is widely
dispersed.
… Enterprises are collecting more data at a
faster pace, and generating insights requires an approach to
infrastructure that breaks down data silos and ensures high-quality
data is readily available. IT departments need to broaden their
focus beyond collection and retention, and begin to emphasize
architecture, management and curation. Specifically, the creation of
a data lake that allows for a single repository of data, as opposed
to a siloed approach that puts critical information out of reach.
Security architecture.
Understanding
Zero Trust Architecture
… Traditional security models work on the
assumption that users on the network can be trusted.
On the contrary, ZTA works on the ‘never trust,
always verify’ principle. It protects the network in cases where
threat actors infiltrate a system and are able to laterally propagate
throughout the network.
How important is accurate Wikipedia information?
China and
Taiwan clash over Wikipedia edits
Ask Google or Siri: "What is Taiwan?"
"A state", they will answer, "in
East Asia".
But earlier in September, it would have been a
"province in the People's Republic of China".
For questions of fact, many
search engines, digital assistants and phones all point to one place:
Wikipedia. And Wikipedia had suddenly changed.
The edit was reversed, but soon made again. And
again. It became an editorial tug of war that - as far as the
encyclopedia was concerned - caused the state of Taiwan to constantly
blink in and out of existence over the course of a single day.
Least common denominator is cheap, but might cost
more in the long run.
Developing
a Multi-Jurisdictional Approach to Privacy Laws — An Interview with
K Royal
… Privacy is a complex, multi-level,
comprehensive concept which is now being regulated in more than 130
countries with more than 500 privacy laws. To be
successful in complying with so many laws, businesses must develop a
multi-jurisdictional approach to privacy laws that is consistent and
predictable yet also not one-size-fits-all.
Prof Solove: Can a company just set one high bar
and just treat all personal data the same?
K Royal: Yes, a company can set a high bar and
treat all personal data the same, but a company might have a
significant business advantage if it treats a particular country’s
personal data differently than it does another country’s data where
the requirements differ. If all data is treated the same, then
nuances may get missed in different laws, which may require specific
management for certain types of data. But a big challenge is that
managing all data according to localized requirements is hard to
sustain over time.
The slope I fear is too slippery. Clearly
prevention or at least early detection is desirable. But, imagine AI
making life or death decisions.
The
Internet of Humans
Unexpected
findings from sensors implanted in animals, a practice known as
biologging, should cause a seismic shift in how wearable sensors are
used to promote health in humans.
That’s
the conclusion of a team of scientists led by Michael Strano,
Professor in Chemical Engineering at MIT, in a perspective piece
published
in
the journal ACS
Sensors.
The
group says animals have been fitted with sensors to measure just one
or two behaviours, yet scientists have gained dramatic and unforeseen
insights into a wealth of other habits.
… Researchers
have
used smartphone
tapping behaviour to predict Parkinson’s disease, analysed
text
and email data to detect depressed speech and even
used the
camera to measure heart rate by look at skin colour changes in the
finger.
… The
idea is that just about everything going on in the human body will be
picked up in part by a sensor
You
can distribute lies 61 days or more before the election. After that,
merely point to the video on Youtube?
California
laws seek to crack down on deepfakes in politics and porn
California
Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday signed AB
730,
which makes it illegal to distribute manipulated videos that aim to
discredit a political candidate and deceive voters within 60 days of
an election. He also signed AB
602,
which gives Californians the right to sue someone who creates
deepfakes that place them in pornographic material without consent.
