In this regard, although knowledge of a niche […]
The Data Army
The US military service is setting up a Digital Corps comprising Computer Scientists – creating a new breed of “civilian soldiers” who fight for their nation using data skills In 2020, there were more than 430,000 open computer science jobs in the United States, while only 71,000 new computer scientists graduate from American universities each […]
Shelf-Life Zero
The difference between yesterday’s data and today’s analytics? Everything. In a world where streaming and real-time data analytics are becoming increasingly important, most firms worldwide are recognising the ‘shelf-life’ of the data in their possession: the quicker they can turn raw data into insights, the more value they can extract from it. Ain’t no time […]
Dynamic Cryptography
DARPA is currently leading the race for the ‘holy grail of encryption’ In modern-day encryption, an algorithm is used to scramble or encrypt data (files/messages etc.) to make it completely indecipherable even if the data has been hijacked. It remains readable to only those users in possession of the key – upon the entering of […]

By now, we all know that quantum computers work through qubits or quantum bits, and rely on the quirky theories of quantum physics. The two technologies on which most of current […]
A Synthetic Solution
How the use of Synthetic Data could prove to be a saving grace for AI The economic disruption caused due to the COVID-19 pandemic affected several global industries adversely: perhaps none more so than the Autonomous Vehicle (AV) industry.
