Fujitsu to use ‘world’s fastest supercomputer’ for tsunami prediction

by

Fujitsu, in partnership with other companies and academic institutions, has developed a computing system that will enable the prediction of tsunamis – massive, sudden floods caused by turbulence at sea. 

The International Research Institute of Disaster Science at Tohoku University, the Earthquake Research Institute at the University of Tokyo, and Fujitsu Laboratories have developed an artificial intelligence model that will empower disaster management teams with the ability to predict tsunami flooding in coastal areas in near real-time.

The system harnessed the computational power of what is claimed to be “the world’s fastest supercomputer”, Fugaku, jointly developed by Riken and Fujitsu. [Read more…] about Fujitsu to use ‘world’s fastest supercomputer’ for tsunami prediction

Can You Hack AI? Yes, and Deep Learning is Being Used to Both Attack and Defend

by

Being online these days is scary, but there are simple safety measures you should take

We’re all familiar with Siri, Echo, Google Maps and Translate – as well as IBM – using artificial intelligence, or AI, to answer questions, find locations, help us make sense of foreign languages, and predict the weather respectively.

But AI is getting smarter, which of course, is exactly what it’s designed to do. “Deep learning” means the software gets better at guessing as time goes by. [Read more…] about Can You Hack AI? Yes, and Deep Learning is Being Used to Both Attack and Defend
