With brand-name bottle fads and gallon-a-day water challenges trending on TikTok, hydration is in, and that’s good news for health. The average human body is more than 60% water. Water makes up almost two-thirds of your brain and heart, 83% of your lungs, 64% of your skin, and even 31% of your bones. It’s involved in almost every process that keeps you alive. So if you’ve hopped on the water-drinking bandwagon, you’re doing yourself a big solid.

“Water is essential for your body’s survival,” says Crystal Scott, registered dietitian-nutritionist with Top Nutrition Coaching. “It helps regulate your temperature, transports nutrients, removes waste, lubricates your joints and tissues, and it also plays a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance of electrolytes and fluids in your body.”

You lose water when you breathe, sweat, urinate, and metabolize food and drink into energy. If you don’t replace that fluid, your health can go downhill, and fast. Without food, your body can keep ticking for as long as three weeks or more. But without water, you’ll die in only a few days. There’s just too many systems that depend on it.

“I like to correlate our bodies with planet Earth,” says Scott. “Our Earth is made up of a large percentage of water. If that amount got too low, what would happen to our food systems? Our forests? Animal life? It’s a domino effect.”

Digital technologies are fundamentally transforming how industries operate and provide value to customers. To keep pace with the disruptive forces of digital transformation, businesses must rapidly innovate to compete. However, these innovations introduce new cyber risks, as businesses adopt new technologies or leverage existing ones in novel ways, creating new pathways for cyber attacks. With the growing importance of digital innovation in business operations, products, and services, the potential risks and consequences of a successful cyber attack continue to increase, making the stakes higher than ever before.

To be successful, companies must ensure that their products, services, and business operations are proactively resilient to cyber attacks by changing the role of cybersecurity in digital innovation.

Proactive Resilience

When constructing a mountain road, builders do not simply decide on the road’s placement and wait for cars to fall off the cliff before implementing safety measures like guardrails. Instead, they analyze the nature of the road and its associated risks and proactively put the necessary protective measures in place.

Similarly, in successful digital transformations such as ecommerce, banks, and retailers don’t implement a means for exchanging sensitive information or conducting transactions, only deciding to implement protective measures after a hack has occurred. Instead, they recognize the potential risks in advance and proactively implement cybersecurity controls as the foundation to safeguard against them.

Big Tech is liking the look of its new leaner shape.

Companies from Meta to Microsoft to Salesforce have cut jobs in recent months, often in the pursuit of efficiency and increased profit margins. By some estimates, more than 250,000 tech workers have been laid off since the start of 2022.

There have been many more roles that have gone unfilled as these industry giants slow down on hiring. Recent data from Indeed shows a more than 50% decline in software-development job postings compared to a year ago. 

As my colleague Hasan Chowdhury has written, that strategy is working financially, with Salesforce, Meta, and Microsoft recently reporting stronger-than-expected earning results. 

And now, thanks to the rise of AI, many of those jobs may be permanently lost, even as these companies get back to growth. 

In a recent note by Morgan Stanley analysts led by Brian Nowak, the bank said “AI-based productivity drivers are coming.”

Over the past months, ChatGPT has gained a lot of users because it’s so good at writing emails, blogs, code, and more. However, there are other tools that use the model behind ChatGPT to go beyond what ChatGPT can do.

In this article, I’ll share a list of tools that I believe are better than ChatGPT because they offer extra features, can be customized, and were built for specific use cases using GPT-3.5/GPT-4.

All of that is by design. Pi, released this week by the richly funded artificial intelligence start-up Inflection AI, aims to be “a kind and supportive companion that’s on your side,” the company announced. It is not, the company stressed anything like a human.

Pi is a twist in today’s wave of A.I. technologies, where chatbots are being tuned to provide digital companionship. Generative A.I., which can produce text, images, and sound, is currently too unreliable and full of inaccuracies to be used to automate many important tasks. But it is very good at engaging in conversations.

That means that while many chatbots are now focused on answering queries or making people more productive, tech companies are increasingly infusing them with personality and conversational flair.
