AI-powered WAFs vs traditional firewalls: Protecting your web applications

If your business relies on web applications, you’re probably familiar with traditional network firewalls. And for good reason – they play an invaluable role filtering external threats looking to attack your overall infrastructure.

How AI is improving simulations with smarter sampling techniques

MIT CSAIL researchers created an AI-powered method for low-discrepancy sampling, which uniformly distributes data points to boost simulation accuracy. Imagine you’re tasked with sending a team of football players onto a field to assess the condition of the grass (a likely task for them, of course). If you pick their positions randomly, they might cluster […]

Artificial intelligence meets “blisk” in new DARPA-funded collaboration

Collaborative multi-university team will pursue new AI-enhanced design tools and high-throughput testing methods for next-generation turbomachinery. A recent award from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) brings together researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), and Lehigh University (Lehigh) under the Multiobjective Engineering and Testing of Alloy Structures (METALS) program. […]

Equipping doctors with AI co-pilots

Alumni-founded Ambience Healthcare automates routine tasks for clinicians before, during, and after patient visits. Most doctors go into medicine because they want to help patients. But today’s health care system requires that doctors spend hours each day on other work — searching through electronic health records (EHRs), writing documentation, coding and billing, prior authorization, and utilization […]

Amazon Web Services is investing over $500 million in nuclear power, announcing three projects from Virginia to Washington State. AWS, Amazon’s subsidiary in cloud computing, has a massive and increasing need for clean energy as it expands its services into generative AI. It’s also a part of Amazon’s path to net-zero carbon emissions. AWS announced it […]

Innovative machine learning uses transforming business applications

Machine learning (ML) is revolutionising the way businesses operate, driving innovation, and unlocking new possibilities across industries. By leveraging vast amounts of data and powerful algorithms, ML enables companies to automate processes, make accurate predictions, and uncover hidden patterns to optimise performance. From personalised customer experiences to predictive maintenance and advanced fraud detection, the potential […]

Real-time data, blockchain, and AI: A game-changer for intelligent apps

When we talk about real-time data, what we refer to is information that becomes available as soon as it’s created and acquired. Rather than being stored, data is forwarded directly to an application as soon as it’s collected and is made immediately available – without any lag – to support live, in-the-moment decision-making. Real-time data […]

AI governance gap: 95% of firms haven’t implemented frameworks

Robust governance is essential to mitigate AI risks and maintain responsible systems, but the majority of firms are yet to implement a framework. Commissioned by Prove AI and conducted by Zogby Analytics, the report polled over 600 CEOs, CIOs, and CTOs from large companies across the US, UK, and Germany. The findings show that 96% of organisations are […]
