For all the progress in artificial intelligence, most video security systems still fail at recognising context in real-world conditions. The majority of cameras can capture real-time footage, but struggle to interpret it. This is a problem turning into a growing concern for smart city designers, manufacturers and schools, each of which may depend on AI to keep people and property safe.Lumana, an AI video surveillance company, believes the fault in these systems lies deep in the foundations of how they are built. “Traditional video platforms were created decades ago to record footage, not interpret it,” said Jordan Shou, Lumana’s Vice…

It’s no longer news that AI is transforming how people communicate at work. The bad (and less common) news, however, is that AI is also making those conversations harder to control. From chat apps to collaboration tools, employees exchange thousands of messages every day, many of which now pass through AI systems that summarise, analyse, or even respond on their behalf. For enterprises, that creates a new kind of exposure: Communication data that is intelligent, unstructured, and often ungoverned.Dima Gutzeit, CEO of business communications platform provider LeapXpert, believes the future of enterprise communication depends on solving this challenge. “AI has…

The acquisition of a legacy platform like AOL by Bending Spoons shows the latent value of long-standing digital ecosystems.

That statement is true only if the data is properly governed and integrated. Such deals may blend nostalgia with business advantage, but present new compliance and cybersecurity risks that enterprises need to address.By acquiring AOL from Yahoo, Bending Spoons moves to consolidate high-retention consumer technologies in its expanding digital portfolio. As companies turn increasingly to synthetic data to feed their…

New York City – “Focus, focus, focus on affordability”. It is a simple message, but one that Robert Wood, a 47-year-old writer and a lead volunteer for mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, believes is the key to turning out voters in the final stretch of New York City’s closely watched race. Mamdani’s surprise victory in the June Democratic primary – and his commanding lead in the polls ahead of the November 4 election day – has achieved a symbolism that has resonated far beyond the borders of the city’s five boroughs. To many, it has represented a rebuke to the wealthy…

When contemplating the shift, several business advantages may drive a final decision. Relying on one major vendor (namely, Nvidia) can incur risks: pricing leverage, export controls, supply shortages, or a single point of failure in innovation. Adopting or migrating to Huawei has the potential to provide negotiation leverage, avoid vendor lock-in, and offer access to alternate supply chains. That’s especially relevant in areas where Nvidia faces export restrictions.If an organisation operates in a region where Huawei’s ecosystem is stronger (e.g., China, parts of Asia) or where domestic incentives favour local hardware, shifting to Huawei could align with corporate strategy.
