Is It Worth Using AI Generators To Make Your Own NFTs?
With AI text-to-image generators now rolling out for public use, a flood of people will inevitably begin creating NFTs from this easy-to-use artistic medium to try to cash-grab some “easy money,” which may make minting AI art NFTs not worth the effort. But, of course, this also depends on the artist’s reason for doing so and will be influenced by their branding and the market’s attitude toward AI-generated art NFTs.
iHeartRadio is trying out a Fortnite ‘metaverse’ concert arena
Radio juggernaut iHeartMedia is launching its own dedicated space in Fortnite to host events and concerts. The virtual park, which has been given the rather obnoxious name of iHeartLand, is being developed using the game’s creative mode and will feature several different areas.
What Are the Benefits of Digital Identity in the Metaverse?
As students head back into classrooms this fall, some schools are already using the metaverse for teaching and learning. Yet, according to Jaime Donally, engagement director at Identity Automation and a former EdTech K–12 influencer, the metaverse doesn’t exist — at least, not to its full potential.
How collaboration, collective action and a common language will help to build consumer trust in the IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) and digital transformation surrounds us from the moment we get out of bed to the second we go to sleep.
Before the coronavirus pandemic, many of us had embraced these connected technologies but few of us depended on them. However, when they were the only way to stay connected to our colleagues, customers, healthcare professionals, and loved ones they became a vital component in our lives.
How to Achieve Data Quality in the Cloud
You’ve finally moved to the Cloud. Congratulations! But now that your data is in the Cloud, can you trust it? With more and more applications moving to the cloud, the quality of information is becoming a growing concern. Erroneous data can cause many business problems, including decreased efficiency, lost revenue and even compliance issues. This blog post will discuss the causes of poor data quality and what companies can do to improve it.
What is Quantum Computing and How Can it Help Mitigate Climate Change?
Quantum Computing refers to a new form of computation based on quantum physics. It is expected to outperform classical computers in processing data and deriving optimisation from it. This technology can be widely adopted in the environmental sector, including enhancing the performance of energy sources and optimising urban planning.
Augmented tech can change the way we live, but only with the right support and vision
Augmented reality technology has the ability to transform society and individual lives, particularly in health care and mobility.
As much as visual and hearing aids are a part of our lives today, implant technologies could become the norm in future.
Stakeholders in society will need to agree on how to ethically make these amazing technologies a part of our lives.
Good Intentions, Bad Execution: The State Of SME Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity has a reputation for being difficult—and not without reason. Covid-19, remote-working and geopolitical unrest have exacerbated the problem almost beyond recognition, leaving some of the world’s most powerful corporations scratching their heads. If the big fish are struggling to swim straight, what hope is there for the little guys?
With this in mind, it’s worth taking a look at how U.K. SMEs (small- and medium-sized enterprises) are getting on. How often are they being attacked? What kind of threats are they facing? What are they worried about? What are they doing about it? What should they be doing about it?
The benefits of robotics: Which industries are reaping the rewards?
Industrial robots are taking over. Well, they’re becoming much more common in the workplace. In fact, according to a report by the International Federation of Robotics, the number of robots in factories has almost doubled in recent years.
The 2021 World Robot Report shows that the global number of robots per 10,000 employees has risen from 66 to 126 between 2015–2020. So which sectors are reaping the rewards? Here, we’ll explore just this, shining a light on industries benefiting the most from robotics.
Can Artificial Intelligence transform the supply chain?
The logistics industry represents 12% of global GDP and is growing at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5% per year. Based on these estimates, global logistics spending will surge to more than $15 trillion by 2023. These estimates in conjunction with surging supply chain costs, created by the dynamics of the global pandemic, have increased the need for innovative technology to increase efficiency and lower supply chain costs.
Why is Artificial Intelligence Crucial for Biotechnology?
Biotechnology lies in the middle of biology and technology. Through modern technologies, it uses biological processes, organisms, cells, molecules, and systems to create new products for the benefit of humanity and the planet. In addition, it contains laboratory research and development through bioinformatics to explore and extract from biomass through biochemical engineering to develop high-value products. Biotechnology operates in various fields, such as agriculture, medical, animal, industrial, and others.
How The Internet Of Things Can Help Cities React To Weather
Much of the United States experienced record-breaking heat levels in July 2022.
This sweltering weather brings about a phenomenon known as heat domes or heat islands, which form when the climate in urban area differs from the conditions is rural areas surrounding it.
According to Bryan Fried, the CEO and Chairman of Pangea Global Technologies, in these cases, the urban area usually experiences higher temperatures than the adjacent areas. “This condition exacerbates adverse climate conditions and temperatures in the area and can cause other problems,” Fried wrote in an email.
How Cloud And Edge Computing Can Co-Exist In Automotive
In the automotive industry, there has been a lot of discussion around how to bring the power of in-depth data processing and machine learning to the vehicle edge. In doing so, manufacturers would not only save on data transfer costs but also enable the vehicle’s autonomous driver assist system (ADAS) to respond and adapt in real time. The fact of the matter is transitioning completely to the edge is not feasible from both a cost and a practicality standpoint. Not yet, at least.
Digital transformation: Top 5 skills you need to succeed
Digital transformation isn’t easy. Equipping yourself with a few key skills will give your company a much greater chance of success.
Digital transformation is the future of business. A 2020 study by Mordor Intelligence valued digital transformation at $263 billion, and it’s projected to reach $767 billion by 2026. Digital transformation can involve many things, whether it’s process automation, a new website, improved user experience or a migration to the cloud. But what skills do you need to achieve successful, company-wide change?
Researchers Find Breakthrough on Quantum Computing With Silicon Chips
Researchers from Simon Fraser University were successful in making a breakthrough in the field of quantum technology development. Their study paves the way for creating silicon-based quantum computing processors compatible with the existing semiconductor manufacturing technology.
The researchers light up the silicon chips’ tiny defects with intense light beams. Stephanie Simmons, the principal investigator of the research, explains that the imperfections of the chips serve as an information carrier. Investigators point out that the tiny defect reflects the transmitted light.
