AMD is on a run now. No longer in Intel’s shadow, it’s taking the PC market and data center by storm. While part of the reason is that Intel stumbled badly under a prior CEO, much of it is because of AMD’s almost unbelievable focus on unique customer segment needs. While AMD has always tended…
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are sparking an increase in sophisticated email attacks, according to a report released Wednesday by a global, cloud-based email security company. Security leaders have worried about the possibilities of AI-generated email attacks since ChatGPT was released, and we’re starting to see those fears validated, noted the report from Abnormal Security….
A desire for sustainable data center options and a heat wave caused by increasingly powerful computer chips are driving the adoption of systems that cool computers by immersing them in fluids. By operating a server rack submerged in a special fluid, heat can be passively removed from the hardware to the fluid, pumped to a…
I have my doubts about whether Apple’s Vision Pro, which was announced last week but will not be available until 2024, will be successful. My doubts mostly revolve around Apple’s current strategy, which is to avoid collapsing existing markets, something Apple had to do to make the iPhone successful, and because the company partners poorly…
Researchers at an Israeli security firm on Tuesday revealed how hackers could turn a generative AI’s “hallucinations” into a nightmare for an organization’s software supply chain. In a blog post on the Vulcan Cyber website, researchers Bar Lanyado, Ortel Keizman, and Yair Divinsky illustrated how one could exploit false information generated by ChatGPT about open-source…
Apple raised the curtain Monday on its much anticipated mixed reality headset in a video presentation at its World Wide Developers Conference on the Apple campus in Cupertino, Calif. The Apple Vision Pro headset, priced at $3,499, won’t be available until next year but promises to usher in a new era of “spatial computing.” “This…
When I joined IBM in the 1980s, they assigned me the task of helping create what eventually became one of the very first CRM applications. Like most at that time, I had to work with MIS (now called IT), and the result was dreadful. Instead of the app making things easier by automating many repetitive…
If you’re asking, “What is an SBOM?” you’ll need to catch up fast. A software bill of materials is the first line of defense against software vulnerabilities that can lie in wait, like unlocked back doors into your network, ready to let in hackers. An SBOM, like any bill of materials, lists the components of…
Qualcomm has aggressively developed and integrated generative AI capabilities across its extensive semiconductor line for the past few years. For those few people who have been entirely off the information grid, AI uses intelligent algorithms to produce new and original material, such as photographs, images, movies, and music, based on data already present. Qualcomm’s generative…
Many technology leaders agree that while AI could be hugely beneficial to humans, it could also be misused or, through negligence, terminally damage humanity. But looking to governments to address this problem without guidance would be foolish given that politicians often don’t even understand the technology they’ve used for years, let alone something that just…
