Cloudflare, used by more than 20 percent of the entire Internet for its web security services, has released its inaugural 2023 Phishing Threats Report. The findings highlight that phishing remains the most dominant and fastest growing Internet crime, largely due to the ubiquity of email and the ceaseless issue of human error that is preyed upon by today’s threat actors.
Imperva has warned Australian enterprises need to swiftly grasp their data footprint and work towards reducing it in response to the Privacy Act Review Report.
According to a new global study conducted by S&P Global Market Intelligence and commissioned by WEKA, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) by enterprises and research organizations seeking to create new value propositions is accelerating, but data infrastructure and AI sustainability challenges present barriers to implementing it successfully at scale. These challenges have been exacerbated by the rapid onset of generative AI that has defined the evolution of the AI market in 2023.
At this point, ChatGPT has firmly established itself into the cultural zeitgeist. People are using it to perform tasks like writing research papers, completing math equations, and crafting code. It is at least a part (if not a frontrunner) of a recent wave of AI generators that can make whatever your heart desires when you input phrases and parameters into the prompt box provided by the app. But all of that may be put on pause as a research paper out of Stanford University and UC Berkeley is claiming that ChatGPT is degrading in accuracy.
The mass availability of generative AI, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google Bard, became a top concern for enterprise risk executives in the second quarter of 2023, according to Gartner, Inc.
Highly successful technologies, especially those that become part of technical or business infrastructure can ossify, limiting their ability to accommodate and incorporate new technologies. The internet’s TCP (introduced in 1974) and UCP (introduced in 1980) protocols were established decades ago but remain dominant in today’s internet architecture. Over the years a variety of approaches have been deployed to address protocol ossification, but the problem persists.
The release of the advanced chatbot ChatGPT in 2022 got everyone talking about artificial intelligence (AI). Its sophisticated capabilities amplified concerns about AI becoming so advanced that soon we would not be able to control it. This even led some experts and industry leaders to warn that the technology could lead to human extinction.
Two new Australian companies have announced potential exposure in the data breach by law firm HBL Ebsworth which has already compromised more than 40 government agencies.
There has been a sharp increase in the number of Australians who feel data breaches are the biggest privacy risk they face today, according to a survey released by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
So, is it just a glorified autocomplete or the most significant development in human history since the release of the graphical user interface or the iPhone? The inaugural Generative AI Summit 2023 held in Sydney last month heard from different points of view on business uptake including input from entities such as NAB, Optus and the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).
