Titanium AI Can Deter Cyber Attacks on Supply Chain Sector

Cyber attacks can disrupt any sector if it has a huge outreach. And, if it threatens the supply chain, you must understand that it can have a catastrophic impact on your life for sure. An attack on supply chain and logistics can lead to a loss of lacs and crores of Rupees. Hence, it becomes necessary to build resilient solutions that can deter such attacks. Recently, Massachusetts-based cybersecurity startup ReversingLabs has launched its AI product to track such attacks. Such products can give a real boost to other sectors after making suitable changes related to those domains. Let’s know more about this AI product and how it will help reduce the chance of cyberattacks on the supply chain ecosystem.

Why can an attack on the Supply Chain be drastic?

Before understanding the reason, one should also understand the vulnerabilities existing in the supply chain system. Suppose you procured an item from Flipkart. Now, Flipkart, through its inventory and logistics management system, will start giving you information about the whereabouts of your product. But, Flipkart is also dependent on a third-party vendor that is accomplishing the delivery process. The platform of a vendor holds the major risk and can face an attack from the hacker. Once entered into the third-party vendor, they can reverse any information which will affect both the e-commerce portal and a user like you. Therefore, it is necessary to work on solutions that can track and avoid such attacks.

I Am Titanium

The EDM of David Guetta can not allow anyone to hold their nerves. And, with a song like Titanium, David has shown how he can steal hearts. But, Exhibit is not here to discuss David Guetta’s Titanium. The Titanium that we are talking about is the AI product built by the ReversingLabs team. This product can help you detect and analyze every file coming into your network, be it binary-based. The Titanium engine has a huge database of more than thousands of file types. Thus, at an instant, Titanium can track a file and compare it with billions of files that pose a threat to your system.

Steps Taken If Threat Detected

First of all, ReversingLabs’ product tries to extract every information from the file. Accordingly, it flags an alert as per the risk index that a particular file carries with it. The security analysts then get the threat intelligence as per this index and start working on the in-depth resolution by accelerating investigation to understand the source of this file and its location. The core USP of this software is that Titanium can track down the software risks proactively and transparently even if you don’t have source code access.

Final Remarks

ReversingLabs’ Titanium Engine has showcased the potential of what it can deliver. I am sure that with this blog, you have understood which is the most vulnerable point in the supply chain ecosystem and what amount of monetary loss it can lead to if there’s some sort of damage.

Tesla’s Humanoid Robot is Coming Next Year

The divorce of Elon Musk and technology is not possible. It is not easy to stop such a man. And, now this man has announced that he wants to bring a humanoid robot. This announcement is no less than a leap giant after excelling in the electric vehicle and satellite communication domain. The declaration seems to be a bit utopian for many. However, the sense of ‘but’ always comes. Let’s know more about this development. Take a sneak into this Exhibit blog.

How did this news come out?

In the latest Tesla AI event, Elon Musk presented the prototype of a humanoid robot. This robot can help people like you in your boring, repetitive, or dangerous tasks. With this, Elon Musk showed a PowerPoint presentation to showcase the functionalities of this bot. This humanoid robot is precisely a dancer. The height of this bot is 5 feet and 8 inches (somewhere around 1.7m), whereas its weight is 56 kg.

How does a humanoid robot work?

A bot has to be a proper mesh of hardware and software. It’s true. On the hardware front, you will need sensors, actuators, and other essential instruments to replace almost every crucial function of a normal human being (obviously, there will be no digestive system). On the software front, the codes must have a proper arrangement through which they can perform their niche smoothly. The software helps send signals between the master controller and that hardware equipment to work accordingly.

Applications of Robot

Trust me, but robots will gain their outreach in the future. You talk about any domain, and you will find them in the next few years. Especially in European countries, you may find that these robots are working in agricultural fields. Or if your relative who is physically challenged can get proper assistance in doing daily activities. The Tokyo Olympics has already paved the path of what a robot, along with technology, can do. Hence, the usage of robots will be countless for sure.

Final Remarks on the Tesla Bot

Bringing a proper humanoid robot with such a huge functionality within the next year is a bit difficult to digest. But is it possible to have such features in one bot? Honestly, as of now, from what we all have witnessed, it may be a bit of a tough task. Why? Check out the videos of robots used in the Olympics. You will know the reason. These robots have very limited errands, like translating a language is one of them. Hence, commenting on what Mr. Tusk is pretty looking like coming out in a virtual world.

Watch How Boston Dynamics’ Atlas Robots Performed In A Parkour Gym?

Boston Dynamics is known for developing a series of dynamic robots, including BigDog, Spot, Atlas, and Handle. Yet once again, the American engineering and robotics design firm impressed us with their robot work as it published a new video on Tuesday in which their humanoid robot, called Atlas, can be seen completing a challenging obstacle course on a parkour gym.

The company unveiled Atlas robots for the first time in 2013; it stands about 5 feet tall and weighs about 85 kgs. The Waltham, Massachusetts, Unites States headquartered company faced many hurdles in their 10-years-long Atlas project but bounced back thoroughly.

The video shows how the bipedal robot is running across plywood panels and over a balance beam like a normal human being, and soon, in the same video, another bipedal robot joined in and performed the same task but in a reverse manner. At the end of the video, both the robots can be seen performing synchronized backflips.

Previously, the robots were not completely independent; engineers have to pre-programme them for real-life activities, but they can now adapt behaviours based on what it sees and acts accordingly. The company describes the achievement as one of the top-most landmarks in the history of teaching & mastering robots in human behaviour.

In a separate ‘inside the lab’ video, the company said that while implementing these behaviours, the Atlas robots crashed a lot, lost their balance, and fell backwards after it jumped, but they adapted the course after regular attempts. The training was tough and took a lot of work until the robots got used to different situations and seamlessly switched between behaviours.

Like the robots, Boston Dynamics faced many obstacles since its inception in 1992 and worked with a few parent organizations like Alphabet Inc (2013-2017) and Softbank Group (2017-2020). Since 2020, the robotic company has been owned by the Hyundai Motor Group.

Countering Drones: Assessing Drone Monitoring Technologies

Drones are love for some. Many of you have watched the movie “Uri” for sure. You have seen the potential of drones there. The market of drones has simply witnessed a boom and will take a CAGR of 55% by the time 2025 arrives. This market will have a business of around 63 billion USD. However, I am not here to discuss the drones business. The Exhibit will catch a different perspective this time to showcase what massacre it has created. Drones are currently coming into the news due to the series of attacks they are making. Recently, you have observed such incidents in the UT of J&K. Some claimed that drones bring some disadvantage against which it is getting used. Let’s get an idea on this domain and how to deter them by building resilient solutions.

Why are drones powerful?

First of all, you need to know that drones are not stand-alone instruments. It gets controlled remotely. Hence, you can increase and decrease after assessing the situation. A pilot in an aircraft may not get that time to decide what to do next unless clear instructions are not available due to the aircraft’s speed, which is in the multiple of Machs. Apart from this, a drone has better manoeuvering management than fighter aircraft and helicopters due to its small size. Remember, the maneuvering was done by the Uri movie team. They showed that Pakistan knew about some helicopters towards their side, and radar detection could have hampered the Indian contingent. But, that’s not the case with drones. Why? It is because drones have a small size and can easily pass the cross-sections of radars. The slow-motion profiles of these drones cannot generate a huge signal that can create an alert.

Drone Monitoring Technologies

DMTs are necessary in modern times considering the capability and deployment approach of our neighboring countries. So, what functionality should be there in DMTs? Well, you don’t need to create a separate platform for detection equipment. What to do then? Pretty easy. All you need is to enhance the working of radars. It means that you bring more niche in the framework of radars. And, one of the biggest niches will be the identification of objects. Now, drones being slow empowers them to go undetectable. But, if radar can identify each object and segregate them under birds and other unmanned aerial vehicles, it will be a great accomplishment. Apart from this, one can work tapping the communication signal between the UAV and controller. Hence, for this, one can use a radio frequency analyzer. But RF won’t be effective if someone is using autonomous UAVs against you.

Other Tactical Elements

RF and enhancing radar functionality is not the end of the world. Let’s empower you in this domain by allowing you to widen your horizon. Think about a drone. Does it make some sound? Yes, it makes it whenever it is moving. Hence, it must be generating some acoustic signals. Now, what if you detect such sound alerts and accordingly enhance your vigilance capability. Isn’t that great? Using acoustic sensors and some additional facilities you can identify the direction and movement of these UAVs. In addition to this, you also know that if any UAV enters your territory and you watch it, you are doing it with your eyes. So, what to do then? Well, here, some computer vision libraries attached to optical sensors can help you detect such events in a better way. It will also generate shreds of evidence that you can present to your enemy.

Concluding Remarks

I hope this edition has helped you understand drones in a better way and what one needs to do to detect them if, currently, they have the edge over us. The Exhibit will be back again with anti-drone technologies that can help you out in destroying such UAVs.

How can Real-Time Artificial intelligence Speech Assistance in Call Centers enable effective communication?

Contact centers face a data management challenge as well as a massive human-facing challenge.

All of this makes it more difficult for contact centers and consideration centers to transform unstructured and organized information into significant bits of knowledge that help your organization better meet the needs and expectations of your clients. Artificial intelligence’s role in assisting customer care personnel is more vital than ever, with call levels at customer centers increasing.

But the question arises how can Real-Time Artificial intelligence Speech Assistance in Call Centers enable effective communication?

Let us understand it with a simple illustration

Take a look at how agents are now evaluated. In customer service and agent performance scoring, human observation is significantly weighted. Calls are only partially monitored and listened to, frequently by a small number of human agents with their own biases that may influence their judgments. Call analysis can be erroneous, and this can have a direct impact on agency scoring. Traditional call monitoring can’t pull data in real-time from many sources. Agents receive feedback and help only after the call, and there is no automation or assistance in place to direct customers to the appropriate agent. Customers may speak with a half-dozen agents before reaching the correct person, and it’s tough to have a seamless call with a positive outcome by that point.

The above problem is alleviated by Artificial Intelligence’s ability to perform basic functions (monitoring, analysis, and support) in real-time and on a large scale. Every phone call is taped and monitored. Speech patterns are used to determine the mood and response of both the consumer and the agent on each call. The result is recorded and compared to the agent’s actions throughout the call.

Much of this information can be sent to the customer support representative in real-time, allowing them to respond quickly and effectively. It also ensures that customers are quickly connected with the right agent. Customers are happier as a result because their issue is addressed more quickly. It makes customer service representatives happier because they are working on cases for other people. They will be happier in their job and continue to succeed if they succeed at a higher rate.

So Artificial Intelligence is helping a lot, not by replacing human agents, but by assisting, monitoring, and collecting important information from their calls, AI can have a significant impact. We’re still a long way from a machine that can duplicate the human touch on a phone call, notwithstanding how far Artificial Intelligence has progressed. We need our customer service representatives, but with the appropriate technology, we can help them perform a better job.

Flemish Scrollers Tracks Parliamentarians’ Smartphones Usage

Frank Underwood always used to have files on politicians on his Mac. But what if he gets to know that someone is tracking him. Well, one cannot change the storyline of “House of Cards,” but the way artificial intelligence is expanding its horizon, politicians do need to be scared. An AI model has come to the floor that can assess how anyone (especially politicians) is using their smartphones in the middle of the sessions. If you think you want privacy in the public domain, think again. Because AI can bamboozle your privacy for sure. So, next time be aware and vigilant in the meetings like the one who presides and convenes them can provide remarks for the same. This Exhibit article will satisfy the geek in you and let you know what artificial intelligence tool Flemish Scrollers is all about.

Artificial Intelligence Tool Flemish Scrollers

Italy may have broken many Belgian hearts in the Euro 2020, but Belgians never stop producing something that can be worth it. Flemish Scrollers is an artificial intelligence tool developed by a Belgian Developer, Dries Depoorter. This technique checks how much time a politician gets distracted by their small but most usable gadget – smartphone. The language used to make this methodology is Python. The tool, when it came live, has started to attract many eyes. The news about the same came out through Twitter, where it showcased a video of one of their parliamentarians, Bart Somers, thought to use in the middle of the session.

How does this tool work?

A nerd Python developer might have understood how things are going on. But if you don’t even know the ‘P’ of Python, here’s a chance for you to have a nag for technology and understand in the most layman manner. Basically, Senaat (Belgian Parliament) goes live on YouTube. Now, the Flemish Scrollers (a Python application) has inducted a YouTube API code. Through this code it tries to assess the live video feeds through small buffers. During this, this tool tries to track face recognition and hand movements. After training the tool for a long time, this AI model has learned what is in the hands of legislators. The amount of time of the video feed in which the legislators’ hands on their smartphones gets collected. Once evaluated, it can provide the time in percentage about the person who was using their smartphone.

The potential of Flemish Scrollers

In a nutshell, Depoorter’s new artificial intelligence tool, Flemish Scrollers, can become the new norm of working culture soon in the future. Gone were the days when people came out on the roads to ask for rights, among which one was privacy. Little Tommy has to understand that privacy will not be in their hands if this AI tool can enhance its scalability. Many businesses can induct this tool in their ERP and CRM applications to track their workers’ performance. Even during the meetings, this tool will help you to know who is showing that top-notch awareness. Hence, it will be too early to predict what Flemish Scrollers can achieve.

Artificial Intelligence Model to Evaluate Universe’s Shape

How to kill Thanos? Time GPS. Who created Time GPS? Tony Stark, with the assistance of Jarvis. Who’s Jarvis? An AI system built by Mr Stark. Imagine what it takes to defeat super planetary devils. Well, AI has the potential to showcase what it can do for you and the entire humanity. Now, AI has just done some more wonders by scrounging the shape of the Universe through different algorithms, computational and astronomical rules. Well, if you are a space tech nerd, you know that it is not easy for artificial intelligence to knock on the doors of heaven and learn from Albert Einstein his Theory of Relativity. This article will help you know how artificial intelligence helped evaluate this Universe’s shape and what it means to us.

What’s the news about this artificial intelligence technique?

The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan devised an AI model through which they calculated and verified the shape of the Universe. This model helped to segregate the shape noise (the one that occurs due to gravitational lensing distortion) that their Subaru Telescope has collected in the past few years. In addition to this, Japanese astronomers took the help of the ATERUI II supercomputer to generate and create catalogs of more than 25000 galaxies. These catalogs were produced after studying the data obtained from the Subaru Telescope. In the end, to evaluate the perfect shape, the scientists and astronomers added the realist shape noise to the data sets. Then, the AI model was trained on the mock data to deliver the visual information related to the Universe’s shape.

Why is this breakthrough essential?

Tackling out the shape of the Universe is not a cup of coffee. You need to accumulate a bulk of data to ensure that you have an ample amount of observations regarding the planetary objects, galaxies, etc. Now, if you think that it’s easy, stop and assess it again. There’s nothing like ideal. Any event in the space may create noise. Due to unscrupulous signals that reach your end that can hamper all the observational facts and figures. Hence, you need to think about realistic options. And, lastly, you need to add all these data into a model. This model can analyze everything before coming out with concrete conclusions. These models should process fastly as the bulky data may give rise to latency. Therefore, you will like to have hi-speed supercomputers that have the capability to hold voluminous data.

Inference

The AI model created the visuals of the foreground of dark matter and other massive objects distributions. The observations clearly helped to understand the Universe’s shape complies with cosmological rules and conventions. Thank God! Einstein calculations have not kept the entire astronomical fraternity in the dark. But, with these details, there are several positives attached to it, one of which is to understand the evolution of the Universe through this. However, it is also important to understand whether the Big Bang or the death of a star to transform into a black hole created any sort of disturbance in shape. Hence, there is more to go even after understanding the shape of the Universe.

National Technology Day: How Technology Is Helping Us Fight COVID-19

First observed on May 11, 1999, National Technology Day is celebrated every year on May 11 to highlight the achievements of engineers and scientists in the field of technology and science.

The Tests:

On May 11, 1998, India successfully launched three missiles under the name Operation Shakti led by late President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam at the Indian Army’s Pokhran Test Range in Rajasthan. Following the success of these three tests, two more nuclear tests were conducted on May 13, 1998. The Indian Army carried out the mission in collaboration with scientists from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMDER).

Apart from this, India also tested its first domestic aircraft, Hansa-3 and Trishul missile, on May 11, 1998, and added another achievement to the Defence Research and Development Organisation cap.

Thus, back in 1999, India’s then-Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee declared May 11 as a day of significant achievement for the country. The day enhances a reminder of India breaching into the elite group of nations with nuclear weapons. Since 1999, the Technology Development Board (TDB) admires the day by honouring scientists-engineers and their technological innovations that have added to India’s growth on this day.

The Theme:

Every year the country celebrates the day with a different theme under the observation of the Technology Development Board (TDB); this year, the National Technology Day 2021 theme is Science and Technology for a Sustainable Future. On the National Technology Day event, Prime Minister Narendra Modi saluted and remembered the hard work and tenacity of our scientists-engineers over a series of tweets, where he also mentioned how their innovations helped our country survive better during the fight against covid-19.

In any challenging situation, our scientists and innovators have always risen to the occasion and worked to mitigate the challenge. Over the last year, they have worked industriously to fight COVID-19. I appreciate their spirit and remarkable zeal.

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) May 11, 2021

Role of Technology During Covid-19 Crisis:

When a pandemic hit India, everyone looked desperately and searched online for a vaccine or at least a medical solution to fight against it. During those times, telecom operators like Jio, Airtel, and more came forward and helped-provided guidance through the caller tunes to spread awareness about the pandemic.

The Government of India launched apps like Aarogya Setu and Umang to help people diagnose themselves at home with the help of a few questions; these apps also empowered people to locate red alerted places, covid camps, vaccine centres and helped in quickly identifying infected individuals, connect with them, track who they have come in contact with, and so on. Such technological innovations helped the country in the overcoming journey.

Furthermore, the wireless thermometer guns and other similar infrared body temperature measuring devices used at checkpoints of offices, airports, hotels, hospitals, railway stations, malls, and other public places helped us recognise measuring the body temperature from a distance and turn out to be helpful during the pandemic. Along with these devices, Artificial Intelligence (AI) played a significant role in suggesting components of a vaccine by understanding viral protein structures and helping medical researchers.

When we were out of choice and Work From Home was the only option, during that time, technology was the only thing that helped us to secure business continuity as well as aids social distancing. Misinformation always leads to added crisis, and in a highly populated country like India, it spreads fast. Misleading information about the number of fatalities, diagnosis, treatment options, vaccines, medicines and government policies generates more panic and anxiety.

All these things result in general chaos, panic buying, price rise, and violence on the streets. In order to control and avoid such misinformation, companies like Google, Facebook, and YouTube are working tirelessly. They’re working and helping people with the correct information published by WHO or local authorities and government.

Today, we’re still at the risk of pandemic and dealing with the second wave of Covid-19, but if we follow certain guidelines, we’ll surely overcome this crisis and to execute that, we’re backed with our technology innovations, from AI to robotics, every single thing will help us to fight the pandemic.

5 Tech-made Jobs in The Future

You wouldn’t believe this but there were no data scientists and drone operators in 2006. That was just fifteen years ago. Think of all the possibilities that have been created in the job market just because technology has come this far. New products and services in the tech sector give rise to many new tech-made jobs. However, by 2030 we are expecting 16 percent occupations to become ‘automated’. Are you afraid that you’ll lose your job to artificial intelligence? Don’t worry as there will also be new job profiles that could come up! Let’s take a look at the job profiles that we might see a vacancy for on job portals in the future.

1. Virtual Fashion Designer

The revolution in the fashion industry is an ongoing process but imagine a time when it will transition to ‘virtual’. Sounds very interesting already, isn’t it? While Tech Fashion Tour is the grand show we have been hosting for years now, this is one intriguing profile we’d love to explore too!

So, what will a virtual Fashion Designer do?

The job will comprise of creating virtual couture using advanced software. This couture will be distributed digitally to fashion houses and tech giants. There will also be a huge market in tech houses as well where a virtual Fashion Designer could create trendy couture for devices and gadgets too. Cool, isn’t it? Humans are anyway passe by now so why not create some great virtual outfits for our smartphones. Sounds fancy? Would you want to give this one a try?

2. Augmented ‘Lifestyle’ Coach

Well, we live in a world of life coaches. It is such a relief to have someone help us through tough times in our businesses, relationships and our overall life as a human being. What more could a life coach do in the future? They could make this fancier and more appealing by adding a touch of ‘tech’ to their jobs. Well, by using augmented reality and being an expert at that, this augmented ‘lifestyle’ coach will be able to connect his/her clients to suitable brands, events and more. Moreover, the lifestyle coach will also ensure new AR experiences for his/her clients from time to time in order to enhance their lives further and set them apart from their peers. To qualify for this, the person must have an AR lifestyle coach certificate with a proven track record in enhancing the clients’ lives using AR.

3. Head of Empathy

Oh well. We have been listening to this word for more than a year now and it does make sense. We already need more empathy in our lives every day, especially at work and as technology progresses, we can expect the flip side of it all to create more aggravated situations. We will need someone or maybe a team to manage all the emotional outburst that happens. Since we will be working with robots too, this will become even more important. To work towards a common goal, robots and humans not only need to understand each other better but also need to be able to work together without any hiccups. That’s the responsibility of an empathy officer! If you’re a people’s person or a ‘robot’ person then you’re surely going to like this one.

Some of the Fascinating Predictions in Science Fiction That Came True

4. Robot manager

While what we saw in point number 3 was about managing people and leading with empathy, this one is the other side of the coin. Imagine a workplace where 50% of the population is robots. How do you operate all of them and manage them to ensure that there’s no chaos and mismanagement of work? You most definitely will need a robot manager who will specialize in not only operating various types of robots but will also be skilled at managing them all when they’re working together. Now whether humans are better to manage or robots, only time will tell. Until then, we can only hope that this unique job profile crops up on our LinkedIn profiles one day and we can interact with the robot manager to figure out how the jobr really is. Would you want to be that person?

5. AI and AR astrologer

I don’t know about other countries but India, as we know, is obsessed with astrology. We all are always eager to know about the future and astrologers here have made a fortune for themselves whether they’ve helped anyone else to do the same or not, is something we will never know. In the future, you can expect astrologers to use AI and AR in order to sharpen their skills further. They can use AR to showcase the future vividly to the client so that he/she can ‘live’ the experience beforehand and decide on remedies, if need be. AI will be used by astrologers to make faster calculations in charts and match up with other charts in no time to draw comparisons. The astrologer can then say ‘with proof’ that his client is more successful than his competitor according to the comparison of charts. Hmmmm. Would you want to predict what’s in the stars with an AR equipped tool? Think about it!

With so many different options, it can be so hard to choose right now but if you’re in a job that’s in danger because of AI, you’d better start thinking. If you don’t, you might need an empathy manager or AI astrologer to console you soon!
