Beyond the Hype: A Founder’s Guide to AI ROI, Open Source Tools, and Smart Automation I was recently invited to speak at a local startup community meetup where founders and tech leads were wrestling with the same questions: “Should we invest in AI?” “How do we protect our data?” “What tools should we actually use?” Instead of giving a traditional presentation, we had a candid conversation over coffee. What followed was two hours of real talk—no buzzwords, no vendor pitches, …
Data poisoning, an increasingly prevalent cybersecurity threat, poses a significant risk to artificial intelligence (AI) systems, rendering them ineffective or repurposing them for malicious intent. It is essential to understand the nature of this threat, its mechanisms, and the countermeasures that can be taken to protect AI systems. What is Data Poisoning? Data poisoning is a type of cyber attack that involves manipulating or injecting false data into a system with the intent of corrupting the data set and, subsequently, …
In the world of artificial intelligence (AI), the stakes are high, and the perils are just as vast. Amid a growing list of challenges, a novel threat known as “data poisoning” is proving to be a formidable foe. Just like the infamous Trojan Horse in the ancient city of Troy, this form of attack lurks subtly within AI systems, wreaking havoc that can be difficult to detect and mitigate. What is Data Poisoning? In essence, data poisoning is a subtle, …
The evolution of mobile communications has been nothing short of astonishing. After reaching the 5G era, where we have already started experiencing peak data rates and latencies of the unthinkable kind, the industry is now setting its sights on the next frontier: the 6th Generation (6G) technologies. 6G is expected to integrate with artificial intelligence, massive IoT, distributed computing, and a wide range of revolutionary technologies. But, as with any novel tech, it presents unique architectural requirements, challenges, and ample …
Quantum annealing, a subset of quantum computing, offers a promising solution to optimization problems, opening new horizons in computational capacities. This technique harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to find the minimum (or maximum) of a function, a task crucial in fields such as finance, logistics, and machine learning. What is Quantum Annealing? Quantum annealing is inspired by classical annealing, a physical process wherein a material is heated and then slowly cooled to remove defects, thereby minimizing its energy. Similarly, …
