With the need for cybersecurity and the growth of data analytics in the world of artificial intelligence, IBM and the Alabama Community College System are partnering on an accreditation system. IBM announced two IBM SkillsBuild certifications in cybersecurity and data analytics that were piloted and designed in collaboration with the state’s community colleges. The SkillsBuild certifications will be available to students this fall. Cybersecurity and data analytics skills are essential to artificial intelligence innovation, enabling professionals to extract insights, protect critical information, drive informed decision-making and create value across industries in an increasingly data-centric and security-conscious world. “Alabama’s community colleges…

Quantum computing can solve complex problems, simulating interactions between molecules and predicting the success and safety of drugs, which can aid in drug design.”Quantum computing offers superior computational power compared to classical approaches and has the potential to revolutionize many areas of science, including medicine,” the team wrote.According to the researchers, existing classical methods in computational chemistry are not accurate and the costs increase as the scale of calculations increases.Quantum computing, which harnesses quantum mechanics to perform computational tasks that classical computers cannot handle, could potentially be used to overcome current challenges in drug discovery.”However, to date, the application of…

Kraken Robotics is a marine technology company based in Newfoundland, Canada, that develops and manufactures devices for underwater exploration, surveying, automated underwater vehicles (AUVs) and batteries. The company was founded in 2008 as Kraken Sonar Systems and through a series of mergers and acquisitions, it has since grown to become a leader in the field of marine robotics, sensors, and underwater batteries. The company sits in a unique position in the marine technology market, as there is incredible interest from governments around the world to explore autonomous…

Big tech companies are increasingly attracting attention for their willingness to absorb smaller companies, raising concerns in Silicon Valley (Patrick T. Fallon)It’s a story of a disappearing startup: Some of Silicon Valley’s most promising names in the fast-developing field of generative AI are being swallowed up or attached to US tech giants.A lack of funding has seen promising companies like Inflection AI and Adept in the past few months see their founders and key executives quietly exit the scene to join some of the world’s leading technology companies through separate transactions.Critics believe the deals are acquisitions in name only, specifically…

Here is what you need to know about distinguishing generative AI content versus human-written … [+] content, and the fakery involved at times.getty In today’s column, I am going to mindfully tackle a controversial topic about generative AI that will somewhat extraordinarily turn the heated matter on its head. The result is nearly comical in some ways but avidly reveals sobering considerations of quite useful value. Hang in there, this will all be worth it. For my ongoing readers, this discussion is an ongoing extension of my coverage of the latest AI trends especially with an undercurrent entailing AI Ethics…

(AP Photo/Carolyn Custer) SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — “Move fast and break things” is a tech mantra popularized by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg 20 years ago that was meant to be a rallying cry for game-changing innovation. But now it seems like an elegy for a society built on digital foundations too fragile to withstand faulty software programs that were meant to protect computers, not crash them. The global technology…

As India accelerates its digital transformation, the adoption of cloud technology has become a key driver of business innovation and growth. However, this change has brought with it an urgent need to ensure a robust cybersecurity and compliance framework. Protecting sensitive data and complying with regulations is of paramount importance for organizations that want to leverage the full potential of the cloud. Gartner predicts that by 2025, 99% of cloud security failures will be due to customer misconfigurations and poor cloud security management. These statistics highlight the need to proactively understand and address cloud-specific security risks and implement appropriate measures…
