Bit Security has received a lot of criticism lately – can you explain why that is? So, there are a few different issues here. One is there are loss of precisions that you have versus the concrete security approach where you can take a more detailed look at the resources and advantages, and you take these numbers and bit security compresses them into one. There you will lose something; this is a simplification, and a valid one in my opinion in many cases, but certainly not in all....

Given that Apple has seen strong, you could say passionate, adoption figures for new releases of iOS over the years, I expect that a good bulk of iDevice users will make the leap to iOS 15.

In time, no-code AI platforms will be as ubiquitous as word-processing or spreadsheet software is today,” Reilly advises looking for platforms that make such development as easy as possible – a simple interface that integrates with popular enterprise applications; that data is automatically classified; automates model selection and training; and monitors model performance....
