On July 18, 2024, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a comprehensive 107-page opinion that may have significant implications for the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) enforcement strategy for alleged disclosure and accounting and disclosure controls violations by public companies and their executives. In particular, the decision may affect the Enforcement Division’s efforts to extend the application of existing requirements for public companies to maintain a system of internal controls over financial reporting to cover situations that are not directly related to financial reporting or accounting matters. Arising…
AI agents are not new. AI itself was old, but it is new again, and AI agents and agent AI are the new chapter. Known for its autonomous decision-making and complex goal management, agent AI will fundamentally transform how enterprises operate. A key change is that public cloud providers are often not the preferred platform choice. Large and small enterprises are turning to smaller, decentralized platforms such as on-premise hardware servers and smaller devices. Let’s explore what is driving this transition and its future impact on enterprise AI. Agents are on the rise Agent AI refers to artificial intelligence systems…

As data breaches and cyber attacks become more sophisticated, traditional encryption methods face unprecedented threats. The rise of quantum computing also poses significant risks to current encryption methods as quantum computational power may render them obsolete. Additionally, the exponential growth of machine learning and artificial intelligence is driving the need for secure computing as these technologies rely heavily on large, high-quality datasets. If compromised data is input into an AI model, the resulting output will also be compromised, so it is important to ensure not just the quantity of data, but also its quality, integrity, and accuracy. Fully Homomorphic Encryption…
