Algae are tiny, but potentially mighty. They grow in saltwater and can produce bio-oil that one day could fuel our transportation needs. See how ExxonMobil is researching this renewable fuel.

Inside Chronicle, Alphabet’s cybersecurity moonshot

May 13, 2019

Fifteen years ago, cybersecurity could be boiled down to a simple strategy: Secure the perimeter. Experts fought against malware and other nefarious code by implementing firewalls and other point-of-entry defenses. Since then, however, companies have moved their operations online and allowed employees to bring their own devices (BYOD) to work. The so-called perimeter has dissolved in the process, forcing security practitioners to prioritize tracking, understanding and ultimately making judgments about the information flowing both inside and outside of their company.

Many businesses use 10, 20 or 30 different security products to protect their systems. They all have advantages, and security practitioners will use different combinations to investigate a potential threat. If a team has access to 15 tools, for instance, one engineer might think to use three of them while another tries a completely different subset. There isn’t enough time to try them all, so experts pick products based on their experience and what they believe will be best suited to the task.

A look at the surprisingly quarrelsome field of artificial intelligence

May 13, 2019

Click the link below the picture

Machines as intelligent as humans will be invented by 2029, predicts technologist Ray Kurzweil. “Nonsense,” retorts roboticist Rodney Brooks. By that time, he says, machines will only be as smart as a mouse. As for humanlike intelligence — that may arrive by 2200.

Between these two forecasts — machines with human intelligence in 11 or 182 years — lies much of the rest of the artificial intelligence community, a disputatious lot who disagree on nearly everything about their field, Martin Ford, author of “Architects of Intelligence,” tells Axios.

“Rise of the Robots” is a best-selling and well-reviewed book about a dystopian 2015 tract on the coming state of working humans in the new age of automation.

Today, he follows it up with “Architects of Intelligence,” a collection of interviews he conducted over the last year with almost two dozen of the West’s most illustrious artificial intelligence hands.

Around two or three times a week, in a small open-plan office in London, Lilith* worked with a computer in her lap, crouching underneath her desk—a rectangular table that six people shared, with short dividers between each station.

“I get easily overwhelmed with noise or an excessive amount of people around,” she said. “People working with me mostly found it funny, if not a little odd, but they were polite about it.”
