Gone are the days when antivirus software and a firewall were almost enough to protect an organization from cyberattacks. Trojans, worms and malware are no longer the only cyberthreats keeping IT and security professionals awake at night. According to the IBM Security X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2023, for the second year in a row, phishing …
In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, doctors are faced with vast amounts of clinical data from various sources, such as caregiver notes, electronic health records, and imaging reports. This wealth of information, while essential for patient care, can also be overwhelming and time-consuming for medical professionals to sift through and analyze. Efficiently summarizing and extracting …

We already covered how mainframe modernization isn’t just for the financial industry, so why not address the elephant in the room? The world’s biggest modernization challenges are concentrated in the banking industry. Before the internet and cloud computing, and before smartphones and mobile apps, banks were shuttling payments through massive electronic settlement gateways and operating …

Drug development is a complex and long process that involves screening thousands of drug candidates and using computational or experimental methods to evaluate leads. According to McKinsey, a single drug can take 10 years and cost an average of $2.6 billion to go through disease target identification, drug screening, drug-target validation, and eventual commercial launch. …

Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to join public sector leaders to discuss a topic that is top of mind for everyone – generative AI. At our Generative AI Live + Labs event in Washington DC, we shared how this technology is already revolutionizing our lives in how we live and work. In government, …
A team has shown that reinforcement learning -i.e., a neural network that learns the best action to perform at each moment based on a series of rewards- allows autonomous vehicles and underwater robots to locate and carefully track marine objects and animals.
Introducing Robotic Transformer 2 (RT-2), a novel vision-language-action (VLA) model that learns from both web and robotics data, and translates this knowledge into generalised instructions for robotic control, while retaining web-scale capabilities. This work builds upon Robotic Transformer 1 (RT-1), a model trained on multi-task demonstrations which can learn combinations of tasks and objects seen …

Every month, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) adds over 2,000 new security vulnerabilities to the National Vulnerability Database. Security teams don’t need to track all of these vulnerabilities, but they do need a way to identify and resolve the ones that pose a potential threat to their systems. That’s what the vulnerability …
In this blog post, we’re going to show you how to use two technologies together: The generative AI functionality in Google Cloud Vertex AI, an ML development platform, and Neo4j, a graph database. Together these technologies can be used to build and interact with knowledge graphs. The code underlying this blog post is available here. …
Artificial intelligence is disrupting many different areas of business. The technology’s potential is particularly apparent in customer service, talent, and application modernization. According to IBM’s Institute of Business Value (IBV), AI can contain contact center cases, enhancing customer experience by 70%. Additionally, AI can increase productivity in HR by 40% and in application modernization by …
