Terry Gerton Not long ago, the Government Accountability Office shared insights with Congress on reducing fraud in federal programs managed by states. One detail really stood out to me. GAO has proposed over 200 suggestions to improve fraud prevention, yet many of these recommendations remain unimplemented. Why is tackling fraud in these programs proving so challenging? Seto Bagdoyan That’s an excellent and long-standing question. Much of it starts with leadership priorities. In my testimony, I emphasized that at the core, there’s often unwillingness to admit fraud exists. Without that recognition, nothing else moves forward. It takes focused leadership to build…

This episode of IoT Unplugged features Dr Matthew Carr, Co-founder of Luffy, discussing neuroplastic AI, a next-gen type of artificial intelligence created to learn from very little data and operate on small devices. Carr points out that neuroplastic AI is gradually transitioning from academic research facilities to factories, warehouses, and industrial setups where it could transform the economics of industrial automation by integrating adaptive intelligence straight into machinery. Carr’s journey into AI is unique. Having originally studied engineering and physics, his career included work on renewable energy systems before transitioning to nuclear fusion research at the Joint European Torus (JET),…

When the Project CETI glider surfaces periodically, it communicates with the research team. | Source: Project CETI, David Gruber The Cetacean Translation Initiative, commonly referred to as Project CETI, announced yesterday that it is partnering with French robotics developer Alseamar to deploy underwater gliders that track sperm whales by listening to their vocalizations. The team also released a peer-reviewed study detailing its latest findings. Until now, Project CETI has relied on several different technologies to monitor whale movements, including deploying buoys or boats to gather data and attaching tags to whales via drones. With the addition of the underwater glider,…

It used to take us three weeks to deliver a single data pipeline. Now, an analyst without any Python background can do it in just one day. Here’s the story of how we made that happen. My name is Kiril Kazlou, and I work as a data engineer at Mindbox. Our team is responsible for regularly recalculating business metrics for our clients — which means we’re always building data marts for billing and analytics, pulling data from a wide variety of sources. For a long time, we depended on PySpark for all of our data processing needs. The catch? Working…

The 30-day Trade-to-Feed contest marks BitMart’s eighth anniversary and the exchange’s strategic listing of EAT, the first cause coin. New York, United States, April 28, 2026, Chainwire – BitMart, a global cryptocurrency exchange serving millions of users worldwide, has launched the Trade-to-Feed contest, a 30-month trading competition offering up to $4.4 million USDT in trader rewards. This campaign coincides with BitMart’s eight-year milestone and the listing of EAT (WYDE: End Hunger), the first cause coin to be featured on a major centralized exchange. Cause coins are a new type of digital asset designed so that a portion of trading fees…

Posted on April 29, 2026 by Graziano Casto, Hélia Barroso, Alessandro Pomponio, Sonali Srivastava – CNCF TAG Developer Expertise At CNCF TAG Developer Expertise, we lately started exploring how Artificial Intelligence is transforming open-source development. The community response has been impressive — nearly half of our initial replies came in during the first week alone. This immediate engagement underscores how urgent this topic is and how strongly community members desire shared guidelines for AI-assisted development. So far, responses from 133 participants account for nearly 100 distinct projects, giving us confidence that these findings reflect the broader cloud-native ecosystem rather than…

Every security professional has heard this familiar scenario. The quarter wraps up with hundreds of vulnerabilities patched. Dashboards glow with green indicators. Then someone in an executive meeting asks: “So, are we actually more secure now?” Silence. The room falls quiet because a truthful answer demands context – something that patch counts and CVSS scores were never built to deliver. Exposure management was designed to fill this gap – to connect the dots between remediation work and genuine risk reduction. The market has answered with a wave of platforms promising to deliver it. But the question security leaders are really…

This retrospective cohort study was approved by the Mass General Brigham Institutional Review Board. The requirement for written informed consent was waived, since the study involved minimal risk, used retrospective data collected during routine patient care, and did not affect how patients were treated. A large portion of the cohort had passed away, and all data access took place within secure, encrypted Mass General Brigham environments with restricted access.DatasetFacial images were collected from cancer patients receiving radiation therapy at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston between 2012 and 2023. The original dataset included 2,763 patients who underwent multiple courses of…

Predictive facility management has become a top priority for large enterprises dealing with rising energy costs and complex operations. By leveraging IoT technologies, organizations can move past reactive maintenance, boosting efficiency and resilience in building operations. This article explores how IoT-powered insights equip facility teams with tools to foresee issues, optimize resources, and deliver better results.Modern facility management faces growing challenges as enterprises work to maintain aging assets, meet regulatory requirements, and accomplish more with fewer staff. Predictive maintenance, powered by IoT devices, shifts the focus from quick fixes to long-term asset reliability. In large organizations, coordination is often supported…

GFT combines robots, sensors, and software program to automate visible inspection. Supply: GFT Applied sciences Though many manufacturers already use synthetic intelligence for visible inspection, most techniques solely establish defect alerts. Which means human staff should step in, which creates delays and introduces threat. GFT Applied sciences SE has now launched AI-powered robotic arms that may establish and bodily take away faulty elements from the manufacturing line. “Auto producers have been asking the identical query for years: ‘How can we carry AI off the display screen and onto the manufacturing facility ground?’ With this launch, that query has a solution,”…
