Earlier this year, innovations in emerging technologies were recognized by Time magazine in their annual list of 100 best innovations. The annual list highlights “inventions that are making the world better, smarter and a bit more fun”. This information came to us from The National News in their article, “Emerging technologies get more recognition on…
Read MoreHuman and Artificial Intelligence
Humans are in a oxymoronic time where artificial intelligence (AI) makes decisions that shape human actions. Sounds like the making of a good movie to me, or at least a book. This interesting information came to us from SciTech Daily in their article, “Our Human Future in an Age of Artificial Intelligence.” Dan Huttenlocher, dean…
Read MoreData Security with Evolving Technology
Data security is the process of safeguarding important information from corruption, compromise or loss. Its importance increases as the amount of data created and stored continues to grow at unprecedented rates. This important topic came to us from Security Intelligence in their article, “It’s 2022: Do You Know Where Your Sensitive Data Is?“ A large…
