An overview of machine learning security risks

May 10, 2024 By Andreea Munteanu In Canonical

Data is at the heart of all machine learning (ML) initiatives – and bad actors know it. As AI continues to occupy the limelight of modern tech discourse, ML systems are becoming increasingly attractive targets for attack. With the Identity Theft Resource Center reporting a 72% spike in data breaches in 2023, it’s critical to take the proper precautions to ensure your ML projects don’t provide a back door to your data.

May 2, 2024 By Dotan Horovits In logz.io

Not that long ago, in a galaxy that isn’t remotely far away, a disturbance in the open source world was felt with wide-ranging reverberations. Imagine waking up one morning to find out that your beloved open source tool, which lies at the heart of your system, is being relicensed. What does it mean? Can you still use it as before? Could the new license be infectious and require you to open source your own business logic? This doom’s day nightmare scenario isn’t hypothetical.

Managing cloud carbon emissions- A joint initiative by Aiven and Thoughtworks

Apr 30, 2024 By Aiven In Aiven

Did you know that the tech sector is responsible for around the same volume of carbon emissions as the aviation industry? Cloud computing relies on large data centers and data transmission networks, making it one of the leading sources of energy and carbon emissions in tech. Moreover, challenges surrounding the reliability and accessibility of accurate cloud emissions data complicate the management of such data alongside an inclusive climate action. Aiven and Thoughtworks are driving a vision to tackle this issue head-on.

Open-source Telemetry Pipelines: An Overview

Apr 22, 2024 By Mezmo In Mezmo

Imagine a well-designed plumbing system with pipes carrying water from a well, a reservoir, and an underground storage tank to various rooms in your house. It will have valves, pumps, and filters to ensure the water is of good quality and is supplied with adequate pressure. It will also have pressure gauges installed at some key points to monitor whether the system is functioning efficiently. From time to time, you will check pressure, water purity, and if there are any issues across the system.
