Watchdog security software has its problems, too. With this week's ransomware attack , only two of about 60 security services tested caught it at first, according to security researchers. "A lot of normal applications, especially on Windows, behave like malware, and it's hard to tell them apart," said Ryan Kalember, an expert at the California security vendor Proofpoint.
So - the last couple of weeks I have been working on building a framework for some AI. In a game like the one I'm building, this is rather important. I estimate 40% of my time is gonna go into the AI. What I want is a hunting game, where the AI learns from the players behaviour.
Over the decades, crises and subsequent regulatory change has transformed the risk-led financial services sector. However, financial organisations also have had reputations as early technology adopters, some quite "wild west" in their quest for differentiation and profitability.
Machine is an IDE for building machine learning systems using TensorFlow. You can sign up for the alpha, but first, have a look at the video below to see what it is all about. You'll see in the video, that you can import data for a model and then do training (in this case, to find a mustache in an image).
Machine learning is all the rage in today's market. Essentially, algorithms or systems that use data to "learn" patterns and forecast business outcomes with very little human input, many firms are looking to use them to solve complex questions--fast. While machine learning has an array of uses, two departments will be the immediate benefactors: Marketing and IT.
IBM (NYSE:IBM) Watson Health, and other machine-learning company's immediate impact on healthcare may have been significantly overhyped, promoting a timeline that it may not be able to reach, according to a new article from MIT's Technology Review. The fault lies not with the company, however, but the complexity and relative unavailability of data that it and [...]

Every day, financial markets and global economies produce a flood of data. As a result, stock traders now have more information about more industries and sectors than ever before. That deluge, combined with the rise of cloud technology, has inspired hedge funds to develop new quantitative strategies that they hope can generate greater returns than the experience and judgement of their own staff.
Hedge funds using vast amounts of data, computing power, and machine-learning techniques to make money are drawing investors' attention. But their brief track records show they suffer the same shortcomings as their more traditional peers. The Eurekahedge AI Hedge Fund Index, which tracks 12 of these money pools, has outperformed hedge fund peers since 2013 but failed to beat the S&P 500 Index.
With the increasing accessibility of AI, we are on the brink of a world where our inboxes are filled with offers we actually want, our mobile wallets instantly have coupons for nearby stores, and our connected fridge automatically orders more milk.
