People are slowly beginning to realize that the times, they are a-changing. When it comes to the future of work and automation, it’s not a question of how, but when. We usually only react when it’s already too late. But this time, the writings on the wall are too overwhelming to just ignore them.
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that you should stock up on guns, build a shelter and prepare for Skynet. But it’s probably a good idea to at least start considering the idea that things might change faster than you think. And in the end, we would hate to say we told you so. So start preparing right now with these 6 crucial tips to survive the second machine age.
This document discusses swarm intelligence, which is an artificial intelligence technique inspired by the collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems found in nature, such as bird flocking, ant colonies, bee swarms, and fish schooling. The key principles of swarm intelligence are that there is no central control, agents follow simple rules, and emergent intelligence arises from the interactions between agents. Two commonly used swarm intelligence algorithms are ant colony optimization, inspired by how ants find food sources, and particle swarm optimization, inspired by the flocking behavior of birds. Swarm intelligence techniques have various applications in areas like robotics, engineering, telecommunications, and more.
This document discusses the pros and cons of artificial intelligence. It begins by defining AI as the ability of computers to perform tasks usually requiring human intelligence. While AI is well-suited for repetitive tasks and data-driven decisions, human skills like creativity and complex problem-solving remain more valuable. The pros of AI include error-free processing, automating repetitive jobs, 24/7 availability, and faster decision-making. The cons are the high costs, lack of creativity, potential for unemployment, and risk of making humans lazy. The document concludes that AI will continue transforming industries like healthcare and finance, but certain areas may remain superior to human decision-making.
The document discusses cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and how AI can help improve cybersecurity. It notes that while organizations spend billions on cybersecurity, chief information security officers still feel highly exposed. Traditional security methods focus on preventing infiltration but are always one step behind evolving threats. The document argues that AI can help enforce cyber hygiene practices like least privilege to shrink the attack surface, making the problem more bounded and manageable compared to always chasing threats. It discusses how AI is well-suited for understanding intended application behavior based on established rules and data from good software.
Delivery robots – just a few years ago, the stuff of pure science fiction – are now very much a reality and quickly becoming a part of everyday life for many of us. In fact, I will usually come across five or six when I go for an evening jog in my hometown of Milton Keynes, England!
This document provides an overview of artificial intelligence (AI). It defines AI as the simulation of human intelligence by machines, especially computer systems, involving processes like learning, reasoning, and self-correction. The document then discusses the history of AI, current applications like mobile phones and robotics, challenges such as building trust in AI systems, and the future potential of AI in areas like automated transportation and improving elder care. It concludes by defining AI as the science and engineering of creating intelligent machines.
This presentation provides an overview of robotics and AI. It defines a robot as a machine that can sense its environment, think to follow instructions, and act. Current developments include robots that can perform surgery, explore hazardous areas, and recognize faces and objects. Industrial and manufacturing robots are widely used today. Issues include robots being unable to handle unexpected situations and potentially increasing unemployment, though future developments may focus on greater intelligence, learning ability, and human-friendly design.
What Are The Negative Impacts Of Artificial Intelligence (AI)?Bernard Marr
Artificial intelligence (AI) is doing a lot of good and will continue to provide many benefits for our modern world, but along with the good, there will inevitably be negative consequences. The sooner we begin to contemplate what those might be, the better equipped we will be to mitigate and manage the dangers.
This document provides an introduction to artificial intelligence, including its history, limitations of human intelligence, applications of AI, and advantages and disadvantages of AI. It discusses early attempts at creating artificial life in stories like Frankenstein. It also covers robotics research from Shakey the robot in 1970 to modern robots designed to work in colonies. Applications of AI mentioned include military, entertainment, healthcare, banking, and insurance. Advantages include improved medical diagnostics using expert systems. Disadvantages include potential issues from self-modifying and self-replicating systems. The conclusion discusses the evolving concept of artificial life and intelligence.

The New Assembly Line: 3 Best Practices for Building (Secure) Connected CarsLookout
When an industry without experience in Internet security starts connecting things to the Internet, it typically makes a number of mistakes both in how it implements secure systems, and how it interacts with the security community. With connected automobiles, the stakes for getting security right have never been higher. “What’s the worst that could happen?” is a lot more serious when you’re talking about a computer that can travel 100+ MPH.
The 2016 CES Report: The Trend Behind the Trend360i
Hot off the press, we’re bringing you our annual CES recap report. Our team scoured the showroom floor, and explored the week's hottest topics in social media, to bring you the best of the 2016 International Consumer Electronics & Technology Show.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
This document discusses the state of the wearables market. It notes that while 245 million wearable devices will be sold in 2019, the market remains complex and early in its development. Early wearables like fitness bands and Google Glass struggled with clearly communicating their value proposition and benefits to consumers. For wearables to gain widespread adoption, marketers need to focus on providing useful context, information, and entertainment to users without being intrusive. The challenges are to capitalize on this new platform while respecting users' personal space and preferences around small screen interactions.

WTF - Why the Future Is Up to Us - pptx versionTim O'Reilly
This is the talk I gave January 12, 2017 at the G20/OECD Conference on the Digital Future in Berlin. I talk about fitness landscapes as applied to technology and business, the role of unchecked financialization in the state of our politics and economy, and why technology really wants to create jobs, not destroy them. (There is a separate PDF version, but some readers said the notes were too fuzzy to read.)
Recruitment: Candidate Experience and Storytelling Lessons from HollywoodPh.Creative
With the war for talent, we can't forget that the hero in story is in fact the candidate, not the brand.
This presentation looks at how recruiters can learn to improve the candidate experience by learning some key storytelling lessons from hollywood and even ancient mythology.
Candidate experience mapping is much like planning a classic 'Hero's Journey'.
We must understand more about how the candidate feels and what they think at each stage of the candidate experience in order to optimise the end result.
Go Beyond Opens & Clicks: Using Data to Optimize Your Client's CampaignsLitmus
"It's ok, we have good open and click rates." How many times have you heard that from a client or colleague? A campaign's success is often based on a handful of metrics, but these rarely give a well-rounded portrait of true customer engagement.
Are open rates declining on mobile? Have desktop and webmail opens increased? How long do subscribers actually spend reading each message?
In this actionable webinar, we dive into the other (often more) important metrics your team should be using to develop your clients' emails.
3 e shock 2020 how the digital technology revolution is changing business and...BiniClick
This document discusses how digital technology is revolutionizing business and daily life. It outlines the rapid progression from mainframes to mobile/cloud computing. By 2020, digital technologies are expected to transform how we communicate, work, shop, and live to an even greater degree. People have become highly dependent on digital devices and expect round-the-clock access. Voice command and artificial intelligence technologies may soon allow people to control devices and access information without screens. However, this rising dependency on computers also risks them gaining more control over how humans live, learn, and make decisions.
The document discusses how machine learning has the potential to deliver new value in three ways: by automating manual human tasks, augmenting human capability, and making the impossible possible. It provides examples of companies using technology to automate insurance claims processing, create scent sensors by combining biology and technology, and develop a next generation interface that silently captures commands. The document also examines emerging digital assistant platforms and how technology is transforming various aspects of daily life such as commuting, food, and exercise.
Steve Case is an entrepreneur who co-founded AOL and is now the CEO of Revolution LLC. He sees three waves of the internet: 1) building the internet infrastructure from 1985-1999, 2) the app economy and mobile revolution from 2000-2015, and 3) the emerging "Internet of Everything" from 2016 onward. The third wave will involve ubiquitous connectivity transforming major sectors like healthcare, education, and food through startups. Case argues that entrepreneurs should focus on partnerships, policies, and perseverance to start successful third wave companies that have both financial returns and positive social impacts.

Andrew Essex, CEO of Droga5, argues that while technology has raised consumer expectations, many areas of life remain rooted in outdated practices. He provides examples of technologies like car alarms and paper passports that waste time and are ripe for reinvention. Essex believes digital innovation will continue optimizing how people spend their time by solving problems rather than just selling and making lives more efficient.
This document discusses key aspects of starting a successful startup business. It emphasizes the importance of focusing on solving big problems that affect many people on a frequent basis. Startups should aim to solve problems 10 times better than existing solutions. The document also stresses the importance of defining problems rigorously before pursuing solutions, getting feedback through quick experiments, and being willing to fail fast and pivot if needed. The overall message is that ambitious problem-solving and a willingness to take risks are needed to achieve breakthrough innovation.
White Paper on Millennials and Instant GratificationAllison Schmocker
Aa a trend essay about Millennials, I did research using sites like Pew Research Center and analyzed the data to identify a connection between young people and instant gratification. With that information I saw brands like Uber and Amazon use their knowledge about Millennials to thrive in a dynamic marketplace by building a relationship with these consumers that is tailored to what Millennials want.
AI and Robotics – The Impact on the Future ofJobs – The Great DebateMecklerMedia
The document discusses the future impact of autonomous intelligent robots and technologies like self-driving cars on jobs. An expert survey found opinions were divided on whether these technologies will displace more jobs than they create by 2025. Those who thought jobs would increase argued new job types will be created, while those who thought jobs would decrease argued automation will significantly impact white-collar work. The document discusses how automation has historically impacted jobs and considers potential solutions like redistributing wealth from robot investments or facilitating loans so displaced workers can own automated vehicles. It emphasizes the need for 40/40 foresight to plan for challenges and opportunities of advancing technologies.

Future of Work: How Technology Affects UsSamuel Albert
The world is changing very fast for many people and it is tough to keep up with the technological changes taking place everywhere. In this document, you will learn how the future of work will be like.
“No doubt you can learn much more in a start-up than in a stable, established company, but there are other factors, such as peer pressure, personality type, and parents’ involvement in decision-making that affect a student’s inclination towards joining a startup” says Sameer Nagpal, National Head – Institutions.
The document discusses the state of startups and venture capital investing. It argues that the current environment is not a bubble for three main reasons: 1) Venture capital investment levels and fundraising have increased but are not at unsustainable, parabolic levels seen in past bubbles; 2) Valuations of technology companies relative to their fundamentals are reasonable and much lower than levels seen in true bubbles; and 3) Unlike past bubbles, most observers are not arguing "it's different this time" to justify high valuations. While some high-profile startup acquisitions and IPOs have received criticism, the document argues these deals are rational given the massive opportunity in technology and mobile. However, it caut
This document discusses the exponential rate of technological progress and its impact on various aspects of life. It notes that advances in areas like artificial intelligence, robotics, and biotechnology are converging and multiplying, accelerating the overall pace of change. Examples are given of technologies like self-driving cars, mobile payment systems, and digital assistants that would have seemed futuristic just a few years ago but are now commonplace. The document warns that this rapid change will significantly disrupt many industries and jobs but that it also creates new opportunities. It emphasizes that an "exponential thinking" mindset is needed to understand and benefit from the changes brought by living in an "exponential age."
The Death of Google and End of Apple, And Why Amazon Will Win...Matt Ward
Apple and Google are two of the strongest, most profitable tech giants today. But both are in for a kick in the ass, here is why.
Disruption is the name of the game. Great businesses die from one of two main reasons: failure to innovate or a powerful disruption. From my vantage point, both Apple and Google are firmly in those categories.
In-depth analysis of Apple and Google's core businesses and plans for future growth and expansion.
The (Near) Future of Work for Humans - Startse 201901Gary A. Bolles
The document discusses the future of work and strategies for individuals, organizations, communities, and countries to thrive in a rapidly changing environment. The key points are:
1) The pace and spread of technological change is impacting stability more than actual job losses, as robots automate tasks and skills, jobs, careers, teams, and organizations become "unbundled".
2) For individuals, strategies include developing a portfolio of broad and specialized skills through just-in-time learning platforms. For organizations, strategies involve focusing on diversity and inclusion, paying gig workers a living wage, and investing in workers' continuous learning.
3) Countries can build more inclusive economies, and all groups should focus on their purpose and

1) Robots are increasingly present in everyday life through appliances, automated teller machines, vacuum cleaners, and more, but their role will expand significantly.
2) Within 20 years, robots and AI may replace half of current jobs and enable totally new industries like automatic waste sorting. Society and industries will need to drastically restructure.
3) The development of autonomous robots and their integration into critical infrastructure also presents serious security and ethical challenges around issues like hacking, privacy, and potential misuse that will require careful regulation and oversight.
4) While robots will disrupt many industries and jobs, their development
There is no doubt: in the next years we will assist to a fast growing HUMAN – ROBOT interaction also inside our offices & at work. The same already happened with computers and internet some years ago…
This means that also HR Depts have to start studying more this issue on multiple win-win approaches, ie not only in order to easily reduce labor costs and thus raise efficiency and margins.
In other words it is HR responsibility to find out how can we really introduce augmentation in our different and diverse “human staff” also on a ethical perspective. Otherwise the not far risk is that one day machines will work and produce value only for other machines.

This document provides tips for landing a first customer. It advises starting by offering potential customers a simple, free piece of help related to the problem being solved rather than immediately introducing the product or service. This builds trust by showing understanding of their complex needs. The next step is to listen to learn about their situation and solutions tried before leveling with them about options considered. The goal is for the customer and business to collaboratively develop a solution, with the business explaining what their product can and cannot do. Introducing the product fully only after understanding the customer's needs and determining if trust has been built.

6 Things to Think About Before Building Your WebsiteFloown
Building a website can be a daunting task. Without preparation even more so. Thinking about the following 6 actionable and practical topics will however make the task much easier to digest. In this Floown Slideshare we will be handling goals, design, technical solutions, styleguides, coding and debugging. 6 topics that are truly worth thinking about before building.
Any good business relies on a couple of core processes. They are the anchor for daily operations, and help everyone understand what to expect of each other. Especially in the chaos of startup land, it's of utmost importance to build and protect your processes.
That doesn't mean that they cannot change. Any good process is scrutinized often to make it even better. What worked yesterday may not work tomorrow. Situations change, people change, tools change.
These are 5 of the core processes in our startup. They are not all our core processes, nor will they forever remain the same. We'd love it if you can help us improve our processes, and at the same take another critical look at your own processes.

5 ROOKIE MISTAKES you should ABSOLUTELY not makeFloown
We’re all human. And unfortunately that means that every now and then you forget to turn on your brain. Especially when you run a startup there’s the occasional gaffe that in retrospect seems absolutely embarrassing. HOW COULD WE BE SO STUPID?
For this one we had to dig quite deep into our memory. Since we’re running such a tight ship we could only muster up 5 rookie mistakes…
Nah, not even Team Floown is perfect. But as Barack Obama said: “You try to figure out how to be in the moment, make the best decision you can, know that you’re going to get a bunch of them right, but a bunch of times you’re also not going to get it exactly the way you want it.”
Meaning, don’t fret too long over all the small mistakes. You can have a bad morning, a bad afternoon, but when you keep focused and positive you might write the most genius code, design the most beautiful logo, or make the best decision in the evening. Just because you kept at it, and let loose the negativity of what was before.
Our rookie mistakes hopefully make you laugh. Put a smile on your face. And when you run an into a similar situation, hopefully you won’t make that same mistake. But more importantly, always remember to keep on moving. After five mistakes, the sixth thing you do might be the best thing you’ll ever do.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
Paper Link: https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/257
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
