DSDE: Emerging Technology

New guidelines from the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity recommend that all stages of the IoT device lifecycle need to be considered to help ensure devices are secure.

The subsea-technology company’s LUMA X subsea wireless communication modem will enable real-time streaming of HD-quality video and 4K images wirelessly through water, allowing the operators of autonomous underwater vehicles to monitor its interventions from its control rooms onshore.

The data industry has gotten exceptionally good at building large, complex software systems. We’re now starting to see the rise of massive, complex systems built around data. Despite all of this, there is still a tremendous amount of confusion around what technologies are on the leading end.

To drive progress in the field of data science, the authors propose 10 challenge areas for the research community to pursue. Because data science is broad, with methods drawing from computer science, statistics, and other disciplines, these challenge areas speak to the breadth of issues.

Incorporating imagination into AI agents has long been an elusive goal of researchers in the space. Imagine AI programs that are able not only to learn new tasks but also to plan and reason about the future.

“Being mindful is about being intentional,” said Ahmer Inam, chief AI officer at technology consulting firm Pactera Edge. “Mindful AI is about being aware and purposeful about the intention of, and emotions we hope to evoke through, an artificially intelligent experience.”

Data scientists working with large data sets or in high-performance computational environments may find these programming languages essential to extracting data quickly and effortlessly.

It would literally be a world full of data centers, including the largest and the smallest varieties. But whose networks would they be? The answer depends on where these data centers are—or perhaps vice versa.

Brazil’s national oil company details the results of 6 years of real-time drilling monitoring. The next step is to move toward optimization, then automation.

Lloyd’s Register has partnered with STC Global to create an artificial intelligence tool expected to provide insight from incident data captured by HSE functions but left untapped.
