Automating Software Updates

Automating Software Updates – the why Automating Software updates is incredibly important, you may wonder why but the simplest way to express this is a figure from Gartner: the believe that 99% of security breaches are as a result of KNOWN vulnerabilities. This in turn means that 99% of your risk is already established and can typically be mitigated through a workaround or permanently. Patching, sometimes referred to as Patch Management, is ultimately about maintaining what you already have and is a critical

Humans v AI: here’s who’s better at making money in financial markets AI is all about analysing huge amounts of data so why isn’t it used more in trading? Fit Ztudio/Shutterstock Barbara Jacquelyn Sahakian, University of Cambridge; Fabio Cuzzolin, Oxford Brookes University, and Wojtek Buczynski, University of Cambridge Artificial intelligence (AI) has now closely matched or even surpassed humans in what were previously considered unattainable areas. These include chess, arcade games, Go, self-driving cars, protein folding and much more. This rapid

Implementing a Terminal Server with Linux Mint

Implementing a Terminal Server with Linux A Terminal Server is a server which is designed to be remotely accessed, in the same way you can run a virtualised Remote Desktop to enable access to your network or a particular application. It is a very convenient way to enable internal or external users to access services in a secure way. Some guidance: Any Endpoint on your system must be secured, including servers Yes you save money on licenses through a Linux

Small Business Servers

Small Business Servers are flexible Small Business Servers need to be flexible in order to achieve your goals as a business, if your goal is to grow quickly then a server with the capacity to grow with you is central to avoiding unforeseen expenditure. If your goal as a business is to sustain growth organically, a stable platform to run your business on is of equal importance.

Artificial intelligence: governments see huge business potential, but ignore the downsides (unless you’re Google). Grenar Wim Naudé, University College Cork Many governments are increasingly approaching artificial intelligence with an almost religious zeal. By 2018 at least 22 countries around the world, and also the EU, had launched grand national strategies for making AI part of their business development, while many more had announced ethical frameworks for how it should be allowed to develop. The EU documents more than 290 AI policy

Concerned and guilty, his son buys him a “home robot” that can talk, do household chores like cooking and cleaning, and reminds Frank to take his medicine. It’s a robot the likes of which we’re getting closer to building

Artificial intelligence must not be allowed to replace the imperfection of human empathy Arshin Adib-Moghaddam, SOAS, University of London At the heart of the development of AI appears to be a search for perfection. And it could be just as dangerous to humanity as the one that came from philosophical and pseudoscientific ideas of the 19th and early 20th centuries and led to the horrors of colonialism, world war and the Holocaust. Instead of a human ruling “master race”, we

We’re teaching robots to evolve autonomously – so they can adapt to life alone on distant planets In the future, robots we’ve programmed may evolve and multiply on distant planets. SquareMotion/Shutterstock Emma Hart, Edinburgh Napier University It’s been suggested that an advance party of robots will be needed if humans are ever to settle on other planets. Sent ahead to create conditions favourable for humankind, these robots will need to be tough, adaptable and recyclable if they’re to survive within

Making hardware ‘open source’ can help us fight future pandemics – here’s how we get there elenabsl/Shutterstock Richard Bowman, University of Bath and Julian Stirling, University of Bath In factories and industrial estates across the world, exceptional efforts are being made to ensure hospitals have ventilators, and logistics firms have freezers and refrigerators. Behind the scenes, this manufacturing drive has been taking place on an epic, unprecedented scale. In some places, it’s also been horrendously inefficient. Some of that inefficiency
