The Rise of the Data Team
Leaks of confidential customer data, whether the result of malicious hacks or corporate missteps, are a growing threat across industries. In the first half of 2018, there were 945 major data breaches globally that exposed more than 4.5 billion records, a 133% increase from the previous year. Read more…
Is Data Science the Fourth Pillar of the Scientific Method?
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revived a decade-old debate last month when he said that modern data science (AI plus HPC) has become the fourth pillar of the scientific method. While some disagree with the notion that statistical analysis alone can reveal undiscovered laws, the argument may be moot if data science continues its current course being an extremely useful and in-demand tool for all manners of scientific discovery.

Startup Trovares Brings HPC to Graph Analytics
A startup launched by HPC veterans is combining supercomputers and graph analytics to forge a new suite of tools for applications ranging from cyber security to scientific research.
Along with the launch of its xGT graph analytics tool, Seattle-based Trovares announced the close of a Series A funding round. Read more…
EU Ethics Rules Seek to Balance AI Risks, Benefits
European regulators continue to take the lead on a range of critical technology policy issues spanning data privacy and, now, “trustworthy” AI.
On the heels of its sweeping General Data Protection Regulation, considered by at least one observer as “the most significant change in privacy law in decades,” the European Union this week unveiled ethics guidelines for “building trust in human-centric AI.”
First and foremost, the EU framework emphasizes human oversight of AI development: Read more…
From Big Beer to Big Data: Inside AB InBev’s Digital Transformation

Rethinking Data for AIOps-Driven IT Operations
The rise of the hybrid enterprise is wreaking havoc on IT teams. IT service/operations management (ITSM/ITOM) is more challenging than ever, as infrastructure continues to become more complex, more involved, and more resource-intensive.
Emerging technologies such as cloud-native architectures, DevOps, and multi-cloud infrastructure are creating as many problems for IT teams as they are creating opportunities. Read more…
ScyllaDB Rolls Cloud Database Service
Databases continue to migrate to the cloud with mix results, often requiring customers to choose between the convenience of cloud services and the countervailing costs associated with scaling and performance metrics like low latency.
NoSQL database vendor ScyllaDB claims to have addressed those issues with a new cloud service running on Amazon Web Services (NASDAQ: Read more…
Google Extends Olive Branch to Open Source Tech
Google Cloud today announced strategic partnerships with seven prominent providers of big data technologies that will bring those vendors’ solutions to the Google Cloud Platform as managed services. The move appears designed to position Google in a more favorable light relative to Amazon, which has taken a more heavy-handed approach with the open source backers. Read more…
Toward ‘Biologically Plausible’ AI
In the latest attempt at understanding the mechanism(s) by which machines learn, and AI researcher and a neuroscientist probed for similarities in the computational properties between deep neural networks and human brain.
They propose a learning algorithm that overcomes a “particularly nonbiological aspect” of deep learning: Read more…
