…And let there be Light
The age of Photonic Tensors is now With global advancements in Artificial Intelligence and machine learning technologies coming to the fore, there is an elevated need for strengthening computational hardware in order to deal with the increased complexities of high-level neural intelligence. The underlying principle is rather simple: the smarter the task, the more complex […]
Is Metaverse the Future of the Digital?
An immersive world would be full of opportunities, but let’s not live in a curated glass bubble “Metaverse” means beyond the universe. While it may sound either too spiritual or too futuristic, the fact is – this might be the way we could see the internet evolve into. It would be a combination of persistent, […]
A Big Leap Towards Coding in Natural Language
Ever since the first coders wrote programs by hand, and transferred those into stacks of punched cards that could be processed by computers – the idea of machines that can write codes, find bugs, and correct them too, has been the holy grail of programming. Now, researchers from Intel, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and […]
Pandemic puts MedTech on Steroids
As the world desperately seeks a remedy, the medical technology industry is in the thick of unprecedented growth opportunities The Covid-19 pandemic is accelerating technologies at an unprecedented velocity, driven by the need to deliver services and goods remotely. In 2018-19, consulting firm E&Y estimated global MedTech business to be around US$407 billion, and as […]
GAFA vs. USA – The Big Fight
Big Tech firms earn big profits and lead the geopolitical war for tech dominance, yet the US authorities are jittery They are collectively known by their acronym GAFA (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon), or sometimes FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google; now Alphabet). They are no longer compared with other corporate organizations. With a combined market […]
Masking the Algorithm
How face masks are posing challenges to facial recognition, and what can be done Facial recognition algorithms are facing a tough challenge during Covid-19 when everyone is forced to wear face masks. This is breaking the recognition algorithms, quite like the way the facial screen locking systems of our mobile phones refuses to unlock when […]
Setting the Standards for Data Science
Move to define AI roles and set ethical standards gather momentum As data science becomes business-as-usual both in the field of research and development and in business applications, users and developers are increasingly coalescing their thoughts towards the need for ethical standards as well as clearly defining roles and assigning titles in data analytics positions. […]
An Inbuilt Watchman
Adversarial and image generation networks battle it out to create fail-proof machine learning A self-driving car approaches a stop sign, but instead of slowing down it accelerates into the busy intersection. In March 2019, security researchers at Tencent managed to trick a Tesla Model S into switching lanes. All they had to do was to place a […]
The Empowered Employee
WFH makes managers shift gear from monitoring to motivating Just six-months ago, recruitment interviews assessed the team-player scores of future employees; today they try to figure out the remote-working mindset of new talents.
