A look at AI assistants: how healthy (and private) is your data ecosystem?
Privacy has become the hottest topic of the year.

How many of us grasp just how connected we’re becoming? The concept of the “connected world” has enormous – and transformational – implications. Because not only are individual things becoming more connected, each “thing” is of often part of a larger system: a system of systems (SoS). Narrowing it down, how many of you engineers, […]
