Think you can ignore quantum computing? Think again.

CIO

In 1994, American mathematician Peter Shor developed quantum algorithms to factor integers and solve the discrete logarithm problem. When run on a big enough quantum computer, these algorithms will be able to crack all the public key crypto systems we rely on today for privacy. The impact will be felt globally.

7 famous analytics and AI disasters

CIO

Insights gained from analytics and actions driven by machine learning algorithms can give organizations a competitive advantage, but mistakes can be costly in terms of reputation, revenue, or even lives. AI algorithms identify everything but COVID-19. The algorithm learned to identify children, not high-risk patients.

What is predictive analytics? Transforming data into future insights

CIO

On the cutting edge of predictive analytics techniques are neural networks — algorithms designed to identify underlying relationships within a data set by mimicking the way a human mind functions. Clustering algorithms, for example, are well suited for customer segmentation, community detection, and other social-related tasks.

Build a strong data foundation for AI-driven business growth

CIO

If the data volume is insufficient, it’s impossible to build robust ML algorithms. Getting trusted results There’s no need for any organization to rely on traditional data management, data prep, and algorithms. If the data quality is poor, the generated outcomes will be useless.

Mastercard preps for the post-quantum cybersecurity threat

CIO

But as quantum computers become more powerful, they will be able to break these cryptographic algorithms. Secure private keys derive from mathematical algorithms — the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) algorithm is a common one — that are impossible to reverse-engineer and hack. Mastercard’s project focuses on the latter method.

10 emerging innovations that could redefine IT

CIO

On one, privacy advocates are building clever algorithms that reveal just enough information to pass through whatever identity check while keeping everything else about a person secret. Chance of succeeding: The basic algorithms work well; the challenge is social resistance. Or maybe just ten or five or one?
