Dogs VS AI

Is AI as Smart as Your Dog?

By Noel Ward, Editor@Large


Dogs are said to possess the intelligence of the average 2-to-5 year-old human. Our Corgi seemed to be at the high end of that range while our Springer was definitely at the lower end. Come to think of it, I once had a boss with about the same smarts as the Springer, except he could talk. Unfortunately.
OK, the dogs did things dogs are good at. AI is not so different. It only appears smart because it is extremely fast and may show people things they have not thought of. This does not make it smart. The illusion of intelligence is that AI cites stuff people probably don’t know.

Being Hacked is Not Fun
By Noel Ward, Editor@Large


Some of the most interesting things I hear from printers I visit come up after business hours. I’m sitting with the owner, having a drink before dinner. The person I’m sitting across from has a sip, then begins relating how things went sideways when the company was hacked. He recovered, but not without pain.
It’s sometimes a little surprising given the amount of security built into many products. However, cyber-security still isn't top-of-mind for many print providers, even those handling sensitive data.
