Internet of Things (IoT) - We Are at the Tip of An IcebergDr. Mazlan Abbas
You are likely benefitting from The Internet of Things (IoT) today, whether or not you’re familiar with the term. If your phone automatically connects to your car radio, or if you have a smartwatch counting your steps, congratulations! You have adopted one small piece of a very large IoT pie, even if you haven't adopted the name yet.
IoT may sound like a business buzzword, but in reality, it’s a real technological revolution that will impact everything we do. It's the next IT Tsunami of new possibility that is destined to change the face of technology, as we know it. IoT is the interconnectivity between things using wireless communication technology (each with their own unique identifiers) to connect objects, locations, animals, or people to the Internet, thus allowing for the direct transmission of and seamless sharing of data.
IoT represents a massive wave of technical innovation. Highly valuable companies will be built and new ecosystems will emerge from bridging the offline world with the online into one gigantic new network. Our limited understanding of the possibilities hinders our ability to see future applications for any new technology. Mainstream adoption of desktop computers and the Internet didn’t take hold until they became affordable and usable. When that occurred, fantastic and creative new innovation ensued. We are on the cusp of that tipping point with the Internet of Things.
IoT matters because it will create new industries, new companies, new jobs, and new economic growth. It will transform existing segments of our economy: retail, farming, industrial, logistics, cities, and the environment. It will turn your smartphone into the command center for the both digital and physical objects in your life. You will live and work smarter, not harder – and what we are seeing now is only the tip of the iceberg.
The internet of things (IoT) is the internetworking of physical devices, vehicles, buildings and other items—embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data.

This presentation provides both an overview of the history of artificial intelligence, as well as a look at how AI is impacting healthcare now- and how it will impact it in the near future.
This presentation was created by Kimberley R, Barker, MLIS.
Google, IBM, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Baidu, Foxconn, and others have recently made multi-billion dollar investments in artificial intelligence and robotics. Some of these investments are aimed at increasing productivity and enhancing coordination and cooperation. Others are aimed at creating strategic gains in competitive interactions. This is creating "arms races" in high-frequency trading, cyber warfare, drone warfare, stealth technology, surveillance systems, and missile warfare. Recently, Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and others have issued strong cautionary statements about the safety of intelligent technologies. We describe the potentially antisocial "rational drives" of self-preservation, resource acquisition, replication, and self-improvement that uncontrolled autonomous systems naturally exhibit. We describe the "Safe-AI Scaffolding Strategy" for developing these systems with a high confidence of safety based on the insight that even superintelligences are constrained by mathematical proof and cryptographic complexity. It appears that we are at an inflection point in the development of intelligent technologies and that the choices we make today will have a dramatic impact on the future of humanity.

Artificial Intelligence in testing - A STeP-IN Evening Talk Session Speech by...Kalilur Rahman
AI is the new ELECTRICITY - said Andrew Ng. There are two sides of the coin. There are a lot of nay-sayers for AI. At the end of the day, it will be Augmented Intelligence, Adaptive Intelligence, Automated Intelligence that will propel human intelligence forward - more than anything else. It will be a great time ahead. Whether it would be an "Eye(AI) Wash" as skeptics say or an "I wish" from them for starting late on the journey, only time will tell. It is a matter of when and how long, instead of an If. #ArtificialIntelligence #IntelligentTesting #QCoE #NextGenTesting #QualityFocusedDelivery #DigitalInnovation #ITIndustry #NewAgeIT #InnovativeTesting#AIFication #Automation #DigitalEconomy #Singularity #Transcendence #Futurism
In recent months, Artificial Intelligence has become the hottest topic in the IT industry. Of course, this has happened before, often with disappointing results: in this talk, we’ll explain why it is different this time.
Sebuah presentasi singkat mengenai Revolusi Industri 4.0 dalam Bahasa Indonesia (ID)
A brief presentation about Industrial Revolution 4.0 in Bahasa Indonesia (ID)
The AI Platform Business Revolution: Matchmaking, Empathetic Technology, and ...Steve Omohundro
Popular media is full of stories about self-driving cars, video deepfakes, and robot citizens. But this kind of popular artificial intelligence is having very little business impact. The actual impact of AI on business is in automating business processes and in creating the "AI Platform Business Revolution". Platform companies create value by facilitating exchanges between two or more groups. AI is central to these businesses for matchmaking between producers and consumers, organizing massive data flows, eliminating malicious content, providing empathetic personalization, and generating engagement through gamification. The platform structure creates moats which generate outsized sustainable profits. This is why platform businesses are now dominating the world economy. The top five companies by market cap, half of the unicorn startups, and most of the biggest IPOs and acquisitions are platforms. For example, the platform startup ByteDance is now worth $75 billion based on three simple AI technologies.
In this talk we survey the current state of AI and show how it will generate massive business value in coming years. A recent McKinsey study estimates that AI will likely create over 70 trillion dollars of value by 2030. Every business must carefully choose its AI strategy now in order to thrive over coming decades. We discuss the limitations of today's deep learning based systems and the "Software 2.0" infrastructure which has arisen to support it. We discuss the likely next steps in natural language, machine vision, machine learning, and robotic systems. We argue that the biggest impact will be created by systems which serve to engage, connect, and help individuals. There is an enormous opportunity to use this technology to create both social and business value.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

PROXI is a low cost, high performance,
electric humanoid that can walk for 8
hours.
“We don’t believe that there’s a
platform [that exists right now] that
has the kind of components,
performance, and dynamic response
that PROXI will have. Hopefully we’ll
see a path where initially some
research groups will start with PROXI,
and then in 3-5 years, if we get the
volume, this is a robot that could be on
sale for under $100,000. And even
potentially in the $50,000 range, with
any kind of reasonable volume. We
have something that can open up a
market: the platforms are getting
ready to emerge that will enable the
next generation of robot applications,
and I think this platform will be one of
those.” - Rich Mahoney, Director of
SRI’s robotics program, 2015.

29. Rise of the Robots*
What are the jobs of the future? How many will there be? And who will have them? We might
imagine—and hope—that today’s industrial revolution will unfold like the last: even as some jobs are
eliminated, more will be created to deal with the new innovations of a new era. In Rise of the Robots,
Silicon Valley entrepreneur Martin Ford argues that this is absolutely not the case. As technology
continues to accelerate and machines begin taking care of themselves, fewer people will be necessary.
Artificial intelligence is already well on its way to making “good jobs” obsolete: many paralegals,
journalists, office workers, and even computer programmers are poised to be replaced by robots and
smart software. As progress continues, blue and white collar jobs alike will evaporate, squeezing
working- and middle-class families ever further.
In Rise of the Robots, Ford details what machine intelligence and robotics can accomplish, and implores
employers, scholars, and policy makers alike to face the implications. The past solutions to
technological disruption, especially more training and education, aren’t going to work, and we must
decide, now, whether the future will see broad-based prosperity or catastrophic levels of inequality
and economic insecurity. Rise of the Robots is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand
what accelerating technology means for their own economic prospects—not to mention those of their
children—as well as for society as a whole.

30. Our children’s future
DARPA Launches Robots4Us Video Contest for High School Students
How will the growing use of robots change people’s lives and make a
difference for society? How do teens want robots to make a difference in the
future? As ever more capable robots evolve from the realm of science fiction
to real-world devices, these questions are becoming increasingly important.
And who better to address them than members of the generation that may
be the first to fully co-exist with robots in the future? Through its new
Robots4Us student video contest, DARPA is asking high school students to
address these issues creatively by producing short videos about the robotics-
related possibilities they foresee and the kind of robot-assisted society in
which they would like to live.
“Today’s high school students are tomorrow’s technologists, policymakers,
and robotics users. They are the people who will be most affected by the
practical, ethical, and societal implications of the robotic technologies that
are today being integrated into our homes, our businesses, and the military,”
said Dr. Arati Prabhakar, DARPA director. “Now is the time to get them
engaged and invested by encouraging them to ask questions and provide
their views.”
