Artificial intelligence (AI) relies on vast amounts of data. Enterprises that take on AI projects, especially for large language models (LLMs) and generative AI (GenAI), need to capture large volumes of data for model training as well as to store outputs from AI-enabled systems.

[SINGAPORE] For some young Singaporeans, grainy low-resolution photographs have become a coveted aesthetic – and the outdated cameras that create them are a hot commodity. Just as older hipsters had a penchant for vintage film cameras, today’s 20-somethings are bringing digital compact cameras back into popularity. Known colloquially as digicams, these were all the rage in the 2000s, but fell out of favour when smartphones overtook them a decade or so later. But in the last three years, these devices have made a comeback, thanks to the Gen Zs who are drawn to their “Y2K” turn-of-the-millennium vibe and vintage aesthetic.Phoebe…

Marketers promote AI-assisted developer tools as workhorses that are essential for today’s software engineer. Developer platform GitLab, for instance, claims its Duo chatbot can “instantly generate a to-do list” that eliminates the burden of “wading through weeks of commits.” What these companies don’t say is that these tools are, by temperament if not default, easily tricked by malicious actors into performing hostile actions against their users. Researchers from security firm Legit on Thursday demonstrated an attack that induced Duo into inserting malicious code into a script it had been instructed to write. The attack could also leak private code and…
