Space debris, also known as space junk, is the accumulation of defunct human-made objects in space – particularly in Earth orbit – including everything from spent rocket stages and defunct satellites to paint flecks and flecks of frozen coolant. It poses a collision hazard to active satellites and spacecraft. The problem of space debris is […]
Cancer is one of the most feared diseases in the world. It is a leading cause of death worldwide, and the treatment options available are often very invasive and expensive. But what if there was a way to detect cancer early, before it spreads and becomes more difficult to treat? This is where artificial intelligence […]
Artificial intelligence has been around for centuries, with early examples appearing as early as the 18th century. However, it was not until the 1950s that artificial intelligence as we know it began to take shape. In 1950, Alan Turing published a paper entitled “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” in which he proposed a test for determining […]
The health industry has been benefiting from artificial intelligent technologies for some time now. One of the main ways AI is used in healthcare is in the analysis and interpretation of data. With the vast amounts of digital data being generated by electronic health records, wearables, and other sources, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for humans […]
Facebook tracking is becoming increasingly intrusive.

The trend of increased surveillance and data collection by both government and private entities has continued unabated in recent years, despite significant public outcry and calls for more privacy protections. One of the key drivers of this continued expansion of surveillance has been the rise of big data. What is big data? Big data is […]
Big data generally refers to data sets that are too large or complex for traditional data processing application software to adequately deal with. Big data challenges include Capture, Storage, Analysis, Data curation, Search, Sharing, Transfer, Visualization, Query, Update and Information privacy. The term often refers simply to the use of predictive analytics or other advanced […]
Data mining is the process of extracting valuable information from large data sets. It involves sorting through vast amounts of data to find patterns and trends. Data mining can be used to identify potential customers, help target marketing campaigns, and discover new knowledge. The term “data mining” was first popularized by computer scientist and statistician, […]
