In recent years Artificial Intelligence (AI) developments have been making a substantial impact in the systems that we utilize everyday. AI is the key technology in many of today's interactive digital systems - from banking systems that detect attempted credit card fraud, and telephone systems that understand speech, to software systems that notice when you're having problems and offer the appropriate advice. These technologies would not exist today without the substantial advancements in “human-thinking” software developments over the last fifteen years.
Cloud Security Concerns
As cloud computing continues to expand and companies are moving more data and applications from on-site servers to the cloud, new security threats emerge placing sensitive information at risk. Because of this it is important to evaluate what information “entities” are good candidates for cloud storage and which are not. It’s very important to make sure that that your provider has a reasonably secure environment.
The Challenge of Digital Media
Due to the multiple sources that consumers have for content - cost structures for content need to be significantly reduced. Consumer content attention is dramatically shifting to digital, but media companies’ ability to monetize consumer engagement in the digital arena is not as obvious as in analog media. As a result, media companies need to fundamentally reduce the cost of their content. Key strategies include reducing variable cost by staffing fewer content producers and instead managing networks of external contributors; developing greater scale and consistency in approaches to content production and technology; and attacking fixed costs through centralization and outsourcing.
