Big Data
The last decade’s growing interest in deep learning was triggered by the proven capacity of neural networks in computer vision tasks. If you train a neural network with enough labeled photos of cats and dogs, it will be able to find recurring patterns in…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is being looked upon as the next frontier to make cyber-defence robust and scalable. The key aspects that make AI and particularly machine learning (ML) attractive in cybersecurity is the ability to learn from large volumes of telemetry data…
More widespread use of predictive-policing software may eventually lead criminals to change their habits and become less consistent in their behavior. But for now, building capacity to predict individual crimes by using offenders’ habits against them appears to be a good investment….
As the world becomes increasingly digitized, so does the risk of cybercrime. One of the biggest challenges in combating cybercrime is that it is constantly evolving, making it difficult for traditional security measures to keep up. This is where artificial intelligence comes…
When credit card giant American Express began offering bank accounts for the first time last year, it had a foundation of fraud detection to bring to an entirely new product arena. That meant in some cases, the company could port over AI…
IN BRIEF Miscreants can easily steal someone else’s identity by tricking live facial recognition software using deepfakes, according to a new report. Sensity AI, a startup focused on tackling identity fraud, carried out a series of pretend attacks. Engineers scanned the image of someone…
In the perpetual battle between cybercriminals and defenders, the latter have always had one largely unchallenged advantage: The use of AI and machine learning allows them to automate a lot of what they do, especially around detecting and responding to attacks. This…
There is no disputing the privacy trend. It is here. It is unstoppable. And it is one of the few issues in American life that crosses party lines. Data shows that 86% of people care about privacy for themselves and others — with 79% willing…
One of the most common use cases of artificial intelligence at the moment is its ability to handle massive datasets, processing and interpreting them. A task that human data analysts would take ages to complete, if at all, is performed in no…
AI is proving its worth in many cybersecurity use cases. For example, it can help detect malware, monitor traffic for anomalies and enable human analysts to prioritize security alerts — all of which can reduce costs and human error. “AI has been adopted…
