Spyware activities are on the rise, thanks to never-ending zero-day vulnerabilities
Vulnerability exploitation and spyware activities picked up in July, with abnormally high amounts of activity observed in incursions connected to spyware, according to research conducted by Recorded Future. The creators of mercenary spyware appear to have been unusually active in weaponizing common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs). It is unknown, however, whether

PaddlePaddle deep learning framework expands AI to industrial applications
PaddlePaddle has recently received new updates from Baidu, along with 10 large deep learning models covering computational biology, vision, and natural language processing. Despite the growing popularity of more recent innovations, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Keras remain the three deep-learning frameworks that have long dominated AI. The most widely used Chinese

Monitoring and controlling digital manufacturing with AI
To track and modify the digital manufacturing processes in real-time, researchers trained a new AI. Although scientists and engineers are continually creating new materials with special features that can be utilized for 3D printing, figuring out how to print with them can be challenging and expensive. A simulation teaches the digital

TikTok data privacy concerns push companies to review their social media strategies
Businesses may want to rethink how they use TikTok as a platform because of the concerns raised by US politicians regarding the company’s data privacy practices.

The laws of cyber-warfare are being rewritten in Europe. The Russo-Ukrainian War is not limited to the hot conflict at fire zones of the front. It is possible to hear the echoes of war in the cyber world too. In our digital world, data is one of the most valuable

Hardware strives to capture the analog marvels of the brain
Could machine learning’s escalating costs and carbon footprint be reduced by using analog AI hardware instead of digital to tap into quick, low-power processing? Researchers Logan Wright and Tatsuhiro Onodera from Cornell University and NTT Research foresee a time when machine learning (ML) will be carried out using cutting-edge physical

Qudit computers open endless possibilities by exceeding the binary system
Most quantum computers rely on quantum bits, or “qubits,” which may individually represent two numbers, 0 or 1. Researchers have now created a quantum computer based on quantum digits, also known as “qudits,” each of which can encode seven numbers. In addition to offering more processing capability with fewer parts,

The insurance industry needs to accelerate its digitization
The lengthy and prone-to-failure communication between the provider, intermediary, and customer in the insurance industry makes the advancement of digitization a crucial debate. In the German insurance market alone, more than 500 insurance companies and over 45,000 brokers are in operation. The several branches are in charge of managing policies
