Looks like low-code will go a lot further, the second time around says Neil Ward-Dutton - and I think so as well. IT and particularly non-IT professionals, better take a good look at this!

As a trendwatcher, I see a big future for Meta AI. Llama3 is amazing, and will be tied into their enormous Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, ... ecosystem. We ain't seen nothing yet! Let's hope this democratization of AI also strengthens democracy.

Meta AI rocks, doing stuff that none of the other AI players have done before. Check out this live image generation, where the pictures are created while you type. Yes, it makes strange assumptions on what direction we want to go with our prompt, and it isn't production-proof yet, but actually amazing to see how it works. By releasing #Llama3, an open source #LLM, that will be tied into the rest of the Meta ecosystem, like Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp, they have produced an attractive building block for generative AI applications. Meta also claims that Multimodal Meta AI will be available soon on their Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. We ain't seen nothing yet from #Meta Platforms. Meanwhile, silly investors do not yet seem to believe in Meta's market potential, and sent its stock down after-hours by 16%, despite solid revenue growth. If you would ask me, but I don't give investment advice, consider this a buying opportunity for $META. _________________________ Follow me and hit that 🔔 to be notified of the latest AI developments.

How are people really using generatieve AI? Plenty of examples in this #HBR article, sparking new ideas, and spiced with anecdotes E.g.: "I found #GenAI way better at explaining concepts to non-engineers than us engineers..." Vice versa, mere morals can have ChatGPT explain difficult and technical concepts to them, and they can keep on asking questions until they really understand. GenAI is an interactive encyclopedia on steroids. An indispensable tool in the future of education and personalized tutoring. A personal teacher for those willing to learn 24/7. My advice to parents and grandparents: make sure your kids are using (GenAI) tools and become AI literate asap!

NIS2 zorgde voor 𝐡𝐞𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐮𝐰𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐠𝐢𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤: Het Federaal Parlement keurde op 18 april (om 1:30 am) de Belgische #NIS2 wet unaniem goed, d.w.z. zonder tegenstemmen. Je vindt deze tekst en gekoppelde documenten op https://lnkd.in/eUrnQvXy Een veel leesbaarder en duidelijker artikel over NIS2 "Wat betekent dit voor mijn organisatie?" vindt u bij Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB): https://lnkd.in/ehd2vTur Kort erna kwam NIS2 volop in het mainstream nieuws (VRT radio en TV) en in de financieel-economische vakpers (bv https://lnkd.in/eaQSnZkN in De Tijd of https://lnkd.in/gmDVQcCr bij Business Insider Nederland). ✔️ Bedrijven riskeren immers tot 10 miljoen boete voor zwakke cyberveiligheid. ✔️ In extreme gevallen kunnen managers zelfs een tijdelijk beroepsverbod krijgen voor leidinggevende functies. ✔️ Managers en bestuurders van bedrijven die onder NIS2 vallen moeten verplicht een opleiding volgen om cyberrisico's in te schatten en moeten alle maatregelen goedkeuren om het bedrijf beter tegen aanvallen te beschermen en weerbaarder te maken ✔️ Managers en bestuurders die zich niet aan de regels houden, kunnen hiervoor persoonlijk aansprakelijk worden gesteld. ✔️ Veel KMO's beseffen nog niet dat ze onder NIS2 vallen, noch dat ze boetes riskeren voor zwakke cyberveiligheid De deadline is 𝟭𝟳 𝗢𝗸𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰, er is dus geen tijd te verliezen. Starten kan je alvast via de #CCB risk assessment tool, zie https://lnkd.in/ebkPZw5w Vorige week vond ik ook de zeer nuttige post van n/ebkPZw5w Vor met een 12-stappenplan om op #ransomware te reageren. De vraag is immers niet of je ooit met zo’n cyberincident te maken krijgt, maar wanneer. Lees zijn post op https://lnkd.in/eSuU8hZm 🚀 𝕊𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕒𝕥𝕖: op 23 mei organiseren Beltug en HOWEST University of Applied Sciences een gezamenlijk event over #NIS2 in Brugge. Meer informatie volgt, we hopen je daar te ontmoeten, informeren en inspireren. _______________ Follow me to get weekly #Cybersecurity and #NIS2 updates One more thing: we are looking for speakers on emerging tech: https://tally.so/r/wd6MoN

Vandaag is Bitcoin Halving Day. Maar waar komt dit vandaan, en wat betekent dit? Bitcoin heeft zijn eigen klok, die niet in minuten of uren telt, maar in blokken. Elke keer die klok 210.000 blokken maakt, dan gebeurt er een #halving. Dit betekent ook dat de beloning voor #bitcoin miners die een nieuw blok aan de blockchain toevoegen, wordt gehalveerd van 6,25 BTC naar 3,125 BTC. Op de site Nicehash kan je bloknummers live volgen (zie artikel), we zijn net blok 840.000 en dus de 4de halving gepasseerd. Tot zover de theorie. Wat er echt gebeurt, lees je in dit toegankelijk artikel van BLOX: https://lnkd.in/etHhJXiv Op dit moment is trouwens een 24-uurs #hackathon bezig bij HOWEST University of Applied Sciences in Brugge rond het gebruik van #Blockchain om meer betrouwbare #trustworthy #AI #Web3 oplossingen te bouwen, geleid door Bart Coelus en Shane Deconinck, en met een 40-tal enthousiaste deelnemers. Toch spannend om daarvan de winnaars aan te kondigen deze namiddag op #BitcoinHalvingDay. Enjoy the Distributed Autonomous Hackathon, don't #hodl your horses, and let's #buidl the future! #DAH24

... Standing on the barricades of emerging technologies and on the shoulders of giants, boldly anticipating and envisioning the future ... 3 higher-level articles that show that #QuantumComputing is coming: 1️⃣ MIT Sloan School of Management's article "Quantum computing: What leaders need to know now" ➡️ https://lnkd.in/euWpHWUq 2️⃣ Fortune Business Insights™ projected that the quantum computing market will grow from 1 billion USD today to over 6 billion USD by 2030, a compound annual growth rate of over 30% ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ekSzabHe 3️⃣ The excellent McKinsey & Company explainer on what it is, how it works, and what it can do ➡️ https://lnkd.in/equSVvGu (𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 3 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘴, 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 3️⃣𝘳𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘦) 70+ percent of tech executives, investors, and academics believe we’ll see a fully fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2035; 28 percent think this milestone won’t be reached until 2040 or later. As experts in practical cybersecurity, Howest Toegepaste Informatica is very interested in #postquantumcryptography. Some time ago, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced the first 4 Quantum-Resistant Cryptographic Algorithms (https://lnkd.in/eFpTb-Wm). Interested parties can contact us for further info. #quantumcircle #quantumsecurity
