The automotive industry has revolutionized manufacturing twice.
The first time was in 1913 when Henry Ford introduced a moving assembly line at his Highland Park...
Cybersecurity strategies need to change in order to address the new issues that Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) bring into the equation. Although those issues have not yet reached crisis stage, signs are clear that they will need to be addressed – and soon – if cyberattackers are to be prevented from obtaining a decided advantage in the continuing arms race between hackers and those who keep organizations’ systems secure.
Technologies that could change the world have been a popular topic for the past half century. True, the predictions that everyone would drive flying...

If you’ve read the many predictions about the future of AI, you’ve likely found them to be wildly different. They range from AI spelling...
As early as the mid-19th century, Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace created the Analytical Engine, a mechanical general-purpose computer. Lovelace is often credited with the idea of a machine that could manipulate symbols in accordance with rules and that it might act upon other than just numbers, touching upon concepts central to AI.
For the Big 4, this moment represents not just a challenge but an existential threat. Their traditional models, deeply rooted in hierarchical structures and slow-moving and risk-averse processes, leave them especially vulnerable to the pace of AI-driven change. If these firms cannot embrace AI and adapt quickly enough to meet the demands of a flipped industry—redefining their value proposition, overhauling their delivery models, and rethinking their leadership structures—then perhaps their time has passed.

In recent years, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized many sectors, bringing about significant advancements in various fields. However, one area where AI has presented a dual-edged sword is in information operations, specifically in the propagation of disinformation. The advent of generative AI, particularly with sophisticated models capable of creating highly realistic text, images, audio, and video, has exponentially increased the risk of deepfakes and other forms of disinformation.
Whether AI and the technologies it enables will reach their full potential depends on the workforce that will work alongside them. Yet the skills...
