How to safely dispose of old tech without leaving a security risk

Every year, millions of old tech are thrown away due to age, malfunctions, or to make way for new ones, which creates security risks related to the data on these devices. The data can often still be recovered if devices are erased without proper tools and procedures. Here’s why securely disposing of old tech is crucial. Old devices may still contain: Saved passwords and login credentials Banking and credit card information Personal photos, emails, and … More → The post How to safely dispose of old tech without leaving a security risk appeared first on Help Net Security.

AI reveals new way to strengthen titanium alloys and speed up manufacturing

Producing high-performance titanium alloy parts — whether for spacecraft, submarines or medical devices — has long been a slow, resource-intensive process. Even with advanced metal 3D-printing techniques, finding the right manufacturing conditions has required extensive testing and fine-tuning. What if these parts could be built more quickly, stronger and with near-perfect precision? A team is leveraging artificial intelligence to make that a reality. They’ve identified processing techniques that improve both the speed of production and the strength of these advanced materials — an advance with implications from the deep sea to outer space.

New method significantly reduces AI energy consumption

The enormous computing resources needed to train neural networks for artificial intelligence (AI) result in massive power consumption. Researchers have developed a method that is 100 times faster and therefore much more energy efficient. Instead of taking an iterative approach, the parameters are computed directly based on probabilities. The results so far are comparable in quality to existing iterative methods.
