If you pay close attention during the development phase, IoT devices can be made to look for and receive software updates so that future bugs can be patched. The biggest recommendation? Don’t open incoming ports.

⚖️ IoT Security Concerns: Enterprise vs. Consumer
When it comes to IoT security, corporates and consumers feel very differently. For consumers, the biggest concern is privacy, while enterprises fear a more robust attack that compromises many users along with company data. Although their attitudes are different, they can still learn from one another.

Artificial Intelligence

📝 An IQ Test for AI
Developers at Google’s DeepMind created what is essentially an IQ test for AI systems that evaluates the abstract reasoning of neural networks. This ability to detect patterns and solve problems on a conceptual level is a signal of sophistication in AI algorithms.

💻 Computer Vision Applications in Business
Right now, there are key opportunities for businesses to use neural networks in image data classification. For example, computer vision can automate paperwork processes that require simple decision making, copying data from paper forms to online sources. Read more applications here.

AI in Biometric User Authentication
Security is a growing concern for IoT professionals and businesses, and recent solutions have been utilizing AI to better protect user information and identity. Machine learning and deep learning algorithms are being put to work to better protect accounts and identify compromised information.
