The importance of security has become so recognized that the market has flooded with solutions, presenting a new challenge for security decision makers. Often, this means deferring data security to expert organizations. ow.ly/Ncsa50wXqJG #cybersecurity #datasecurity

Small tech businesses innovate rapidly-- that's what the @USNavy is counting on in an effort to streamline private industry partnerships to keep the Navy tech-forward and cutting-edge. Keep those ideas coming! federalnewsnetwork.com/navy/… #militarytech #govinnovation

It's not enough to have #ai, says the @USArmy -- it has to be cohesive. Increased adoption of AI introduces wide challenges beyond solving a particular problem. Finding a pervasive "data culture" is a new hurdle for all tech-oriented organizations. sociable.co/technology/ai-ne…

In #datascience, insights require clean data, tricky to get right. Generating visualizations early can expose issues difficult to otherwise detect. It's a two way street -- visualizations produce insight, but also depend on initial insights. ow.ly/WVSS50wFveI

The benefits and pitfalls of #stablecoins are contentious -- reliable, but dependent on its backers; known security concerns, but better for wide adoption. The battle of #cryptocurrency continues, but it's easy to foresee a distinctive future. medium.com/okex-blog/a-stabl…

#ai is constantly adapting to new needs, so some predictions about the future prove truer than others. Here's a glance at how some sci-fi predictions for AI have turned out -- what do you think will be the next to become reality? ow.ly/IOCr50wbuSf #innovation

Understanding your #api as a product helps leverage its capabilities. The development effort spent in building your APIs can be an asset rather than a sunk cost. Does your API have a product owner? Should it have one? bit.ly/2mm8MNL #softwaredevelopment

For the government, #ai isn't just a legislative question, but an opportunity to leverage new tech to improve processes and manage data. The open question is how to gain momentum -- what's the fastest way to get ahead of the game? fedscoop.com/white-house-ai-… #govinnovation

#ai isn't new to the medical space, but now it's an official goal for the DOE -- partnerships to make good use of state-of-the-art AI. This agreement has broad goals, which may be to its benefit, with the field wide open for new breakthroughs. fedscoop.com/doe-ai-biomedic… #healthtech
