AI for the Masses

Since more and more decisions that used to be made by humans are nowadays made either with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or by AI alone, it is essential that the AI algorithms are “fair.” In this whitepaper, we discuss issues surrounding the fairness of AI applications, with a special focus on how it can be assessed independently and subsequently certified. We explain why an AI application cannot be classified – and subsequently certified – as “fair” or “unfair” in a general sense and propose an approach that makes it possible to classify it as “fair” or “unfair” under the (application)-specific definition of fairness.

This new technology guide from DDN shows how optimized storage has a unique opportunity to become much more than a siloed repository for the deluge of data constantly generated in today’s hyper-connected world, but rather a platform that shares and delivers data to create competitive business value. The intended audience for this important new technology guide includes enterprise thought leaders (CIOs, director level IT, etc.), along with data scientists and data engineers who are a seeking guidance in terms of infrastructure for AI and DL in terms of specialized hardware. The emphasis of the guide is “real world” applications, workloads, and present day challenges.

The current COVID pandemic has paralyzed large parts of our industry with significant movement limitations, occupancy restrictions, and in some cases complete shutdowns. Now, as the initial threat seems to be subsiding, governments and businesses must determine what is required to get back to some sense of normalcy. The biggest hurdles will be regulatory and/or safety-driven. Although the timelines and requirements for the easing of restrictions vary greatly, there are two common threads: limiting occupancy levels and contact tracing individuals who have tested positive for the virus.

Authentication technologies are front-burner tools to protect your network from COVID-19 pandemic email vulnerabilities. With attackers focusing on your users, common sense and technology go a long way. Scott Mace reports.Without letup the cyberattacks keep coming but they are not necessarily aimed at your network’s protocols or software vulnerabilities — at least, not at first. Instead, they maneuver themselves into part of your corporation’s most vulnerable infrastructure and manipulate your employees to fall for some email message that is not what it appears to be.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning analyses are driving critical decisions impacting our lives and the economic structure of our society. These complex analytical techniques—powered by sophisticated math, computational power, and often vast amounts of data—are deployed in a variety of critical applications, from making healthcare decisions to evaluating job applications to informing parole and probation decisions to determining eligibility and pricing for insurance and other financial services.
