They also built supercomputers designed to handle the growing influx of data needed for evermore complex AI applications. Newsletter Sign-up WSJ | CIO Journal The Morning Download delivers daily insights and news on business technology from the CIO Journal team. Using an AI algorithm called AlphaFold, the London-based lab said it had expanded its database of predicted protein structures to 214 million, up from 1 million as of December 2021, representing all proteins known to science, including proteins found in animals, plants, bacteria and other organisms. Though researchers say the commercial application of nuclear fusion likely remains years and perhaps decades away, the technology might one day help fight climate change. In March, Sandbox AQ, a software startup developing quantum-computing and artificial-intelligence tools for commercial use, officially spun off from Alphabet’s Google to become a stand-alone company.

PREVIEWMost industry clouds began to hit the market early last year, in part sparked by demand for better healthcare data systems during the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020. Though Oracle doesn’t break out revenue from industry cloud sales, its industry cloud offerings are a “multibillion-dollar business,” Mr. Sicilia said. Microsoft last year rolled out industry clouds for retail, financial services, manufacturing, sustainability and nonprofit businesses, according to Kees Hertogh, Microsoft’s general manager for global industry product marketing. A Microsoft-developed industry cloud helped Tarrytown, N.Y.-based MVP Health Care implement a system to streamline its healthcare data, according to CIO Michael Della Villa.

Many didn’t have digital record-keeping systems and had to make large upfront investments before they could start using blockchain, Walmart said. Walmart is using blockchain to track leafy greens and green bell peppers. Earlier this year, the state of Jharkhand in eastern India began using blockchain to track seed distributions to farmers.

☆ Amazon to warn customers on limitations of its AI
  + stars: | 2022-11-30 | by ( Jeffrey Dastin Paresh Dave | Jeffrey Dastin | Paresh Dave | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Akin to lengthy nutrition labels, Amazon's so-called AI Service Cards will be public so its business customers can see the limitations of certain cloud services, such as facial recognition and audio transcription. The goal would be to prevent mistaken use of its technology, explain how its systems work and manage privacy, Amazon said. The cards would address AI ethics concerns publicly at a time when tech regulation was on the horizon, said Kearns. Amazon chose software touching on sensitive demographic issues as a start for its service cards, which Kearns expects to grow in detail over time. In 2019, Amazon contested a study saying the technology struggled to identify the gender of individuals with darker skin tones.
☆ Employers Rethink Need for College Degrees in Tight Labor Market
  + stars: | 2022-11-26 | by ( Austen Hufford | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The tight labor market is prompting more employers to eliminate one of the biggest requirements for many higher-paying jobs: the need for a college degree. Companies such as Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Delta Air Lines Inc. and International Business Machines Corp. have reduced educational requirements for certain positions and shifted hiring to focus more on skills and experience. Maryland this year cut college-degree requirements for many state jobs—leading to a surge in hiring—and incoming Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro campaigned on a similar initiative.

☆ U.K. Government Seeks Further Easing of Data Protection Rules
  + stars: | 2022-11-17 | by ( Catherine Stupp | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +3 min
If U.K. data protection law strays too far from the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, however, an existing legal deal known as an adequacy agreement between the two jurisdictions could be jeopardized, privacy experts say. Relaxing some data rules could save the U.K. an estimated £12 billion, equivalent to $14 billion, each year, Mr. Rowland said. The U.K. has had two changes of government since data laws were proposed this summer. The EU officials who oversee the arrangement have said they could suspend the system if British data protection laws change too dramatically. The draft data protection legislation would loosen some aspects of the GDPR such as requirements for companies to obtain permission from individuals for their data to be tracked online.
☆ IBM Unveils New Chip in Push to Realize Quantum Computing’s Promise
  + stars: | 2022-11-09 | by ( Isabelle Bousquette | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +5 min
Quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits, which represent and store information in a quantum state that is a complex mix of zero and one. Jerry Chow, IBM fellow and director of infrastructure for IBM Quantum, at the Watson Research Center. Since 2016, IBM has been putting their quantum computers on the cloud to enable companies, universities and individuals to experiment with the technology. Jerry Chow, IBM fellow and director of infrastructure for IBM Quantum, said the companies would be able to start using the Osprey chip in the first quarter of next year. Boeing Co. said it is using IBM’s quantum computers via the cloud to experiment with modeling chemical reactions related to corrosion on its aircraft.
☆ IBM launches its most powerful quantum computer with 433 qubits

[1/2] A computer rendering shows IBM's 433-qubits Osprey quantum processor, with more than three times the qubits of the IBM Eagle processor unveiled in 2021, in this undated handout image. The number of qubits, or quantum bits, are an indication of the power of the quantum computer which uses quantum mechanics, although different quantum computer companies make different claims about the power of their qubits which can be created many different ways. IBM is calling the modular system Quantum System Two. "Quantum System Two is the first truly modular quantum computing system so that you can continue to scale to larger and larger systems over time," Gil told Reuters ahead of the IBM Quantum Summit this week. IBM has over 20 quantum computers around the world, and customers can access them through the cloud.

☆ With Interest Rates Rising, Companies Look to Unload Pension Liabilities
  + stars: | 2022-09-28 | by ( Jennifer Williams-Alvarez | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +6 min
Rising interest rates are boosting corporate pension plans, providing finance chiefs with an option to lighten their companies’ balance sheets and transfer obligations to insurers. PREVIEWWhen interest rates rise, liabilities for defined-benefit plans—a type of pension plan that promises fixed amounts to participants—shrink. They can also move just a portion of their pension obligations, but that still requires a high funding status. “If interest rates level off or decrease, the funded status could fall pretty quickly,” said Matt McDaniel, a partner at Mercer who advises companies on pension risk transfers. Recent stock market declines have hurt some defined-benefit pension plans invested in publicly traded equities, Mr. McDaniel said.

Pentru călătorii, aplicaţia listează o serie de condiţii de trecere la punctele de plecare şi sosire. De asemenea, International Business Machines (IBM) a început să proiecteze o aplicaţie numită Digital Health Pass, care le permite companiilor să filtreze oamenii vaccinaţi de cei nevaccinaţi. „Încrederea şi transparenţa rămân obligatorii în ceea ce priveşte dezvoltarea unui paşaport digital de sănătate şi oricărei alte soluţii care gestionează informaţii considerate sensibile. Confidenţialitatea rămâne o prioritate importantă pentru stocarea şi analizarea datelor în aceste vremuri complicate”, spune IBM. Până acum au fost raportate la nivel mondial 81.287.766 de infecţii cu virusul SARS-CoV-2 şi 1.775.149 de decese, potrivit Woldometers.

☆ Hackerii au atacat metodele de distribuție pentru vaccinurile anti-Covid. Patru țări, printre țintele vizate
  + stars: | 2020-12-04 | by ( Publika.Md - Aici Sunt Știrile | ) www.publika.md   time to read: +2 min
IBM spune că atacurile par să-și propună să afle detaliile de autentificare ale persoanelor care conduc operațiunile de refrigerare menite să protejeze dozele de vaccin. Atacul a fost sub formă de e-mail-uri de tip „spear phishing” care să pară că vin din partea unui director al unei mari companii chineze, parte a lanțului de distribuție. Altele au fost trimise în numele Gavi, un parteneriat public-privat care ajută la furnizarea de vaccinuri țărilor în curs de dezvoltare. Taiwan, Coreea de Sud și chiar UNICEF, care planifică livrarea vaccinului pentru țările mai sărace, par să fi fost alte ținte. Najwa Mekki, o purtătoare de cuvânt a UNICEF, a transmis că „am notificat rețelele noastre de aprovizionare și am alertat responsabilii cu privire la necesitatea creșterii vigilenței”.
