Cortana’s Promotion Is Tied To Microsoft 365

Today, if you click the Cortana button on a Windows 10 PC, you still get the “Ask Cortana” prompt, and you can click the microphone button to start talking. But saying “Hey Cortana” does nothing. All those third-party skills are no longer operative, and Cortana’s notebook has officially been tossed into the digital dumpster. … Cortana is “Your personal productivity assistant in Microsoft 365,” and the tasks are no longer about music and fitness and home automation.

Facebook, Microsoft: We’ll pay out $10m for tech to spot deepfake videos

If AI-generated ‘deepfake’ videos are going to spread like wildfire and cause social chaos in the future, it’s probably going to happen on Facebook… The aim is to create tech that everyone can use to detect when a video has been manipulated with AI.  However, to do that, it needs to have a larger dataset of deepfake content to work with, and so far the industry doesn’t have it or a benchmark for detecting deepfakes, according to Facebook.

AI is changing the entire nature of compute

The world of computing, from chips to software to systems, is going to change dramatically in coming years as a result of the spread of machine learning. We may still refer to these computers as “Universal Turing Machines,” as we have for eighty years or more. But in practice they will be different from the way they have been built and used up to now. Such a change is of interest both to anyone who cares about what computers do, and to anyone who’s interested in machine learning in all its forms. … The rise of deep learning, starting in 2006, came about not only because of tons of data, and new techniques in machine learning, such as “dropout,” but also because of greater and greater compute power. … Machine learning is now poised to take over the majority of the world’s computing activity, …

Startups are capitalizing on DeepFakes’ powerful AI

Deepfakes … made it possible for anyone to master complex machine learning; you just needed the time to collect enough photographs of a person to train the model. You dragged these images into a folder, and the tool handled the convincing forgery from there. The anonymous user had sparked “a war on what’s real,”

2019 Cyber Security – What to expect next

During 2019 we expect to see an increase… If a sophisticated attack involves not one but five top-notch threats synergistically working together, the defense panorama could become very blurry. Security experts have a recipe for disaster. …

The purchase of cybersecurity has led to expanding attacks that will become more sophisticated in 2019 and beyond. We will continue to influence societal expectations on security, which will trickle down to companies through hundreds of thousands of vulnerable and easy targets for attackers to profit. Driven by many falling victim to feature misconceptions, more will become key targets. Cyber products that provide consolidated feature sets have a hard time understanding each customer’s specific pain points and the bad guys know this.

In 2019, even more high-profile breaches will push the security and privacy, finally. Security is argued about until we die. That’s a particularly terrifying threat.
