You need to adopt AI if you haven't already
New technologies will always receive encouragement and criticism from all sides, and artificial intelligence (AI) is no different. People have various opinions, but it’s here to stay and will continue to change how business is conducted.
Not too long ago, it was difficult for people to imagine how the internet and websites could impact their lives. Some dismissed it as a trend and saw little merit in its business applications. Now, companies need to amplify their online presence.
Generative AI increases vulnerability to cyberattacks
Senior security professionals view generative AI as a disruptive cybersecurity threat, with 46 percent of respondents to a new survey believing generative AI will increase their organization's vulnerability to attacks.
The study from Deep Instinct shows the top three generative AI threat issues are seen as growing privacy concerns (39 percent), undetectable phishing attacks (37 percent) and an increase in the volume and velocity of attacks (33 percent).
IBM launches generative AI tool to help modernize mainframe software
Many large enterprises still rely on mainframes, but the use of legacy technology can hold back modernization and digital transformation efforts.
To help organizations progress their modernization plans, IBM is launching watsonx Code Assistant for Z, a new generative AI-assisted product that will help enable faster translation of COBOL to Java on IBM Z systems and enhance developer productivity on the platform.
How AI is going to shape the developer experience [Q&A]
Recent developments in generative AI have led to a good deal of debate around whether jobs are at risk. Since new AI applications like OpenAI Codex and Copilot can write code, developers could be among those under threat.
We spoke to Trisha Gee, lead developer evangelist at Gradle, to find out more about how AI is likely to change the way developers work.
The power of generative AI
Generative AI is the big trending topic right now, and understandably is featuring prominently in the news. The popularity of platforms such as Open AI’s ChatGPT, which set a record for the fastest-growing user base by reaching 100 million monthly active users just two months after launching is unquestionably on the minds of businesses globally.
These tools can increase productivity and efficiency by automating repetitive tasks and letting employees focus on higher-value work. They can foster enhanced creativity and innovation by assisting in brainstorming and ideation processes and generating novel solutions to complex problems. Today, AI’s applications have already been well-documented in fields such as eCommerce, security, education, healthcare, agriculture, gaming, transport, and astronomy. The business, productivity, and efficiency gains that it provides these industries are enabling them to flourish and open up new revenue streams.
Employees share more secrets with AI than they would in a bar
A new study of 1,000 office workers across the US and UK shows half of us already use AI tools at work, one-third weekly and 12 percent daily.
But the report from Cybsafe finds 38 percent of users of generative AI in the US admit to sharing data they wouldn't casually reveal in a bar to a friend.
Cybercriminals get their very own generative AI
We've already seen how generative AI can be used in cyberattacks but now it seems there's an AI model aimed just a cybercriminals.
Every hero has a nemesis and it looks like ChatGPT's could be FraudGPT. Research from security and operations analytics company Netenrich shows recent activities on the Dark Web Forum reveal evidence of the emergence of FraudGPT, which has been circulating on Telegram Channels since July 22nd.
Updated AI engine aims to boost productivity across business teams
Artificial intelligence is finding its way into many areas of business. But its value depends on the quality of the training data and user prompts it receives.
Dynatrace is looking to address this with an update to its Davis AI engine that creates what it calls a 'hypermodal artificial intelligence', combining fact-based, predictive- and causal-AI insights with new generative-AI capabilities.
Generative AI assistant helps secure the cloud
Cloud security company Sysdig is launching a new generative AI assistant specifically designed to help with cloud security.
Whereas standard AI chatbots are designed to answer a specific question using a single large language model (LLM) and stateless analysis, Sysdig Sage uses a unique human-to-AI controller that mediates user interactions with LLMs to provide more advanced, tailored recommendations.
AI will outperform the average hacker in five years -- say hackers
The latest 'In the Mind of a Hacker' report from Bugcrowd, which includes responses from 1,000 white hat hackers across 85 countries, finds 55 percent saying that generative AI can already outperform hackers or will be able to do so within the next five years.
But despite this, hackers aren't especially worried about being replaced, with 72 percent saying that generative AI will not be able to replicate the creativity of human hackers.
IBM launches generative AI platform for enterprises
There's been a lot of buzz around the use of generative AI recently, but businesses have sometimes struggled to find appropriate use cases for the technology.
Today IBM is rolling out its enterprise-ready AI and data platform, watsonx, which the company first previewed back in May of this year.
'Shadow AI' could lead to a wave of insider threats
Poor data controls and the advent of new generative AI tools based on Large Language Models (LLMs) will lead to a spike in insider data breaches over the coming year, says cybersecurity company Imperva.
As LLM-powered chatbots have become more powerful, many organizations have implemented complete bans or restricted what data can be shared with them. However, since an overwhelming majority (82 percent) have no insider risk management strategy in place, they remain blind to instances of employees using generative AI to help them with tasks.
Majority are worried about the safety and accuracy of ChatGPT
As generative AI tools continue to make the news there are growing concerns over safety and security as well as the accuracy of information produced.
Most people don't trust ChatGPT and have worries about its security and safety according to a new survey from Malwarebytes. The research shows that 81 percent are concerned about security and safety risks.
New tools suite aims to open up generative AI for the enterprise
It seems that generative AI is everywhere at the moment, but for businesses understanding how best to make use of the technology can be a bit of a puzzle.
Instabase is aiming to help with the launch of a new AI Hub, this is a repository of AI apps focused on content understanding and a set of generative AI-based tools.
