A new research initiative to develop Artificial Intelligence further

Artificial intelligence according to industry experts has already taken root in our daily life activities like texting, driving etc., even though it's significance is not that huge, but can be felt.

Futuristic machines are going to be lot more intelligent than the present ones is what the industry believes.

Industry heavy weights are now collaborating to launch a new non-profit research only initiative to  chart out the strategy for future AI systems. A strategy to determine and to make sure the AI  machines are supportive of humanity when functioning independently.

To quote from the blog

AI systems today have impressive but narrow capabilities. It seems that we'll keep whittling away at their constraints, and in the extreme case they will reach human performance on virtually every intellectual task. It's hard to fathom how much human-level AI could benefit society, and it's equally hard to imagine how much it could damage society if built or used incorrectly.

ScienceDaily (2009-09-30) -- A way to filter out denial of service attacks on computer networks, including cloud computing systems, could significantly improve security on government, commercial, and educational systems.

In the past few years we have heard about a large scale DoS attacks across the globe, the more recent in the memory are the one's which took place at the Georgian Government networks just prior to the war breaking out there, researchers noticed at that point of time huge amount of web traffic directed towards the networks and it was viewed new form of modern IT warfare which reflects in how the future wars might take place.

Also there has been large scale attacks on the government websites in US such as NASA and other important government websites, it was suspected to be an attack originiating in Asia particularly in North Korea.
