The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Cybersecurity Industry.

The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the cybersecurity industry is among the hottest topics discussed and debated among security professionals. From a positive perspective, AI has infused a myriad of threat detection and prevention platforms with newfound methods for uncovering sophisticated threats. It has also helped short-staffed security teams automate complex processes like incident validation and response.
Key Term: Generative AI  Form of AI that produces various types of content (e.g., text, imagery, audio, video)  First introduced in the 1960s in chatbots. Gained awareness in 2014 following the introduction of generative adversarial networks (GANs) that could create images, videos, and audio.Gained further awareness in 2018 with the introduction of ChatGPT. Dozens of cybersecurity (and other) vendors are integrating generative AI into their solutions.




Three Kinds of  Chatbots with proprietary LLMs have been around for years. Thousands of parameters  Used by companies for customer support. Chatbots built on state-of-the-art LLMs.OpenAI, Anthropic, Google. Billions of parameters Chatbots built on open-source LLMs.Integrates with Botpress, Botkit, Chatterbot, Microsoft Bot Framework, Rasa, Wit.ai, and others. The volume of parameters varies


Early Chatbots  1966: Eliza (Joseph Weizenbaum, MIT professor)1972: PARRY (Kenneth Colby, Psychiatrist)  1988: Jabberwacky (Rollo Carpenter)  1992: Dr. Sbaitso (Creative Labs for MS-Dos)  1995: A.L.I.C.E. (Richard Wallace) 2001: SmarterChild  2009: WeChat 2010: Siri 2012: Google Now  2014: Cortana & Alexa.

A Brief History of ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer)  2015: OpenAI (non-profit) founded by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and others  Currently valued at $30 billion with 200 million users  $11.3 billion in funding over seven rounds 2018: Launched GPT-1 / Transitions to for-profit status / Elon Musk departs  2019: Launched GPT-2  2020: Launched GPT-3  2022: Launched ChatGPT & GPT-3.5 .2023: Launched GPT-3.5-Turbo API, GPT-4 and ChatGPT Plus.

Keep it Simply Stupid#Apigee by Julia

  Making design unreadable to humans   “K” eep “I”t “S” implies “S” stupid when you are designing your API. While APIs are meant for computer-to-computer interaction, the first client of an API is always a human, and the API contract is the first piece of documentation. Developers are more apt to study your payload design before they dig into your docs. Observation studies suggest that developers spend more than 51% of their time in editor and client as compared to ~18% on reference.  For example, if you skim through the payload below it takes some time to understand because instead of property names it includes an “id”. Even the property name “data” does not suggest anything meaningful aside from just being an artifact of the JSON design. A few extra bytes in the payload can save a lot of early confusion and accelerate adoption of your API. Notice how user-ids appearing on the left of the colon ( in the position where other examples of JSON ideally have property names ) creates confus

"Hello, World" of Machine Learning

  Say hello to the "Hello, World" of machine learning 1. Before you begin In this , you'll learn the basic "Hello, World" of ML, where instead of programming explicit rules in a language, such as Java or C++, you'll build a system trained on data to infer the rules that determine a relationship between numbers. Consider the following problem: You're building a system that performs activity recognition for fitness tracking. You might have access to the speed at which a person is walking and attempt to infer their activity based on that speed using a conditional. if ( speed < 4 ){   status = WALKING ; } You could extend that to running with another condition. if ( speed < 4 ){   status = WALKING ; } You could extend that to running with another condition. if ( speed < 4 ){     status = WALKING ; } else {     status = RUNNING ; } In a final condition, you could similarly detect cycling. if ( speed < 4 ){     status = WALKING ; } else if ( sp

Google-Cloud Career Q/A

You’re on a video call with people you haven’t yet met. How would you introduce yourself? Hello everyone,  I'm from India originally but have been living in the States for more than a decade now. I am a computer science/software engineer who got into cmc ltd (tata-group) at an early stage of my career and most recently into the cloud. I’m proud to have recently joined  Google WTM ambassador as a volunteer and GDG. I’ve worked for myself for many years, am married and struggling with many personal family -situations, and live with my husband and in-laws mostly. How did you get started with Google Cloud? I had a very fortunate opportunity to leave that behind and join what I like to call this “parallel universe” of Google Cloud. I had been seeing that world moving so fast with all this new technology coming in, and in 2016 I joined a Google Developer Group. After reporting to CIOs for so many years on transformation projects and trying to make changes within IT departments, it was an
