The University of West Florida's Center for Cybersecurity and AI has received a $1.74 million award from the National Science Foundation to prepare the next generation of professionals to address emerging challenges at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.
The National Science Foundation has also announced a new grant program to help colleges and universities gain access to the computing power needed for artificial intelligence research, with a total funding of $100 million.
NVIDIA is investing in AI rivals, providing financial support to companies building alternatives to its most profitable products. This strategic move allows NVIDIA to maintain its market share while promoting innovation and competition in the industry.
AI is being used in various ways, including managing the modern power grid. Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have developed an artificial intelligence tool to improve forecasts of electricity demand and renewable energy generation.
On the consumer side, 46% of consumers plan to start holiday shopping before November, and retailers that use AI to understand and deliver on individual customer preferences are likely to win the holiday season.
However, there are also challenges associated with AI, such as liability issues and ineffective customer service experiences. Indian law has no clear answer on who is liable when an AI agent goes rogue.
Despite the potential of AI, many companies are not getting good returns on their AI investments. To get the best use of AI, companies need to know its limits and how to navigate around them.
