Can artificial intelligence help in the fight against climate change?

Friday 20 September saw over 4 million people participate in climate change strikes worldwide, with 300,000 people in the UK taking to the streets to show their anger around the lack of action from global leaders. Another strike is due to take place on 27 September, bookending the newly dubbed Global Week for Future. Technology and climate change have a difficult relationship. As technology has become more pervasive throughout our homes, workplaces and society, the amount of data we create has spiralled, causing data centres across the globe to now have the same size carbon footprint as the aviation industry.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Businesses

Article | April 18, 2024

Whilst there are many people that associate AI with sci-fi novels and films, its reputation as an antagonist to fictional dystopic worlds is now becoming a thing of the past, as the technology becomes more and more integrated into our everyday lives. AI technologies have become increasingly more present in our daily lives, not just with Alexa’s in the home, but also throughout businesses everywhere, disrupting a variety of different industries with often tremendous results. The technology has helped to streamline even the most mundane of tasks whilst having a breath-taking impact on a company’s efficiency and productivity

The advances of AI in healthcare

Article | March 14, 2024

With the Government investing £250 million into the project, the Lab will consider how to use AI for the benefit of patients – whether this be the deployment of existing AI methods, the development of new technologies or the testing of their safety. Amongst other things, the initiative will aim to deliver earlier diagnoses of cancer. It is estimated that in excess of 50,000 extra patients could see their cancer being detected at an early stage, thus boosting survival rates. More specifically, a study has shown that AI is quicker in identifying brain tumour tissue than a pathologist.This would have a positive knock-on effect in other areas, such as enabling money to be saved (that otherwise would have been spent on further treatment) and reducing the workload of staff (at a time when there is a crisis in NHS workforce numbers).

Three Keys to Successful AI Adoption

Article | February 10, 2020

Over the past several years, we have begun to see the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in businesses. According to a study for the AI Index 2019 Annual Report, more than half of respondents report their companies are using AI in at least one function or business unit. Thirty percent report they have AI embedded across multiple areas of their business. As businesses continue to develop their understanding of what is possible with AI, we can expect to see a continued increase in AI adoption.

Oraichain Pte. Ltd. Launches Smart Contracts 2.0 New AI-powered Blockchain Network

Oraichain | February 25, 2021

Oraichain Pte. Ltd., a leading AI-powered oracle and blockchain ecosystem supplier, announced it is to expand into the AI services industry with a new, AI-backed blockchain network. Expansion of the service is the new milestone on Oraichain's journey to becoming an advanced, full-serviced AI ecosystem. With the ability to custom create multiple applications and platforms based upon a transparent, trusted, and secured blockchain for several industry sectors. This new move to launch the new blockchain network referred to as Oraichain Mainnet, adds to Oraichain's plan to expand its suite of AI-based products and services ecosystem, including a Publisher Service, AI Marketplace, Training Service, DATA & Request Hub, and Dapp Hosting. Commenting on their new move, Dr. Chung Dao, CEO, Oraichain Pte. Ltd., said: "Blockchain technology can disrupt traditional sectors suffering decades of inertia. But it needs a boost. We want to push the limits of innovation by being the first to combine Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain to end the stalemate and create new paradigms in day-to-day service interaction". As per Reportlinker, the global blockchain market size is anticipated to grow from $3.0B in 2020 to $39.7B by 2025, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 67.3%. However, traditional blockchain oracles have reached a blockage due to an incapability to access data and (Application Programming Interface) APIs in an interoperable, scalable, accurate, and secure manner - This is where AI is used to add value. Boosting Blockchain with AI Introducing AI to the Blockchain arena offers exponential developments in the data processing. By introducing its blockchain network in partnership with its AI ecosystem, Oraichain Pte.

New Tolly Group Tests Reveal Impressive Multitenant Performance and Scalability for NGFWs Leveraging Array AVX Series Platforms

Array Networks | June 04, 2019

Array Networks Inc. today announced the results of recent testing by The Tolly Group that benchmarked performance and scaling of industry-leading NGFW virtual appliances (VAs) running as multiple instances on Array’s AVX Series Network Functions Platform. Testing showed that performance improved by up to 86 percent greater than the NGFW manufacturer’s specifications for multiple VAs running simultaneously on the AVX Series. In addition, the tests indicated that per-VA transactions per second (TPS) scaled linearly across small, medium and large instance sizes, and aggregate system throughput and transactions per second across all running instances remained highly consistent.“The lower performance of security VAs running in standard virtual environments has always been one of the downsides of virtualizing these critical networking components,” said Kevin Tolly, founder of The Tolly Group. “Our testing of virtual, or software-defined, next-gen firewalls clearly shows that Array’s AVX Series virtualized, multitenant platform overcomes that obstacle to a virtualization strategy and provides linear scalability for future growth paths.”Security VAs are commonly deployed on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware in virtual environments that, while providing greater flexibility, use shared resources that can limit performance through contention. A few vendors offer multitenant appliances intended to counter the drawbacks of standard virtual environments, however these solutions often utilize shared resources – with the same performance hit of standard environments – or support only the manufacturer’s VAs.
