Image segmentation, key to both human and computer vision, is the process of parsing data into distinct groups. While this process comes naturally to humans, it has been a frustrating challenge for the machine learning models vital for enabling computer vision. Currently, segmentation depends on large, compute-heavy neural networks, which make running deep learning models […]
When it comes to personal data, individuals and governments alike are becoming more privacy conscious, and it’s not hard to see why. Cyber attacks ensnaring government and private organizations, such as those launched against SolarWinds and Colonial Pipeline, are becoming more frequent. Meanwhile, organizations are increasingly storing data in the cloud, where potential hackers have […]

Managers promoted for their technical knowledge sometimes lack the soft skills vital for them to be effective leaders who inspire and foster commitment among their teams. With the right training, these managers can grow to become strong, well rounded leaders. How Can You Become A Better Leader? The difference between an effective leader and one […]
In April, the European Union (EU) and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) each released regulations aimed at curbing the potential risks of artificial intelligence (AI). While the FTC regulations apply nationally in the U.S., enforcement of the EU regulations is left to EU member states. Both regulations apply to private companies only, though they […]
A recent report from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the National Security Agency, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, warns of three major threat vectors that can potentially imperil 5G networks. The report, titled Potential Threat Vectors to 5G Infrastructure, details outcomes from the 5G Threat Model Working Panel, which […]
The demand for cyber security professionals dropped sharply a year ago. According to a recent (ISC)² 2020 Cyber Security Workforce Study report, global demand plummeted from 4 million in 2019 to 3.1 million in 2020. The decline represents a staggering 25% decrease in the 2020 cyber security workforce gap, which assesses the difference between anticipated […]
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the way businesses operate, forcing thousands of organizations to digitize their workforces. In the process, job transitions have exploded, and many managers are undergoing major shifts in their roles and responsibilities. In some cases, these leadership transitions are transparent while coming with new titles and job descriptions. Many transitions, however, […]
The Internet of Things (IoT) has the power to connect all devices through a cloud-based ecosystem. In the future, it could potentially undergird the infrastructure of smart cities in order to make communications far more streamlined and efficient than they are today. However, a major obstacle for IoT is that it still depends largely on […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) regulations are coming. In March, five of the largest U.S. financial regulators sent banks an information request inquiring about how they are using artificial intelligence. Such a request indicates that the financial sector will soon be facing guidelines around the technology. Additionally, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) released definitions in April […]
