Urban surveillance is crucial for public health monitoring, public safety, and solving crimes. However, security cameras can easily pick up irrelevant information in the motion video feed, causing false alarms and a host of privacy concerns. A vital security tool used for safeguarding these sensitive data is privacy masking.
The construction industry is one of the world’s largest consumers of resources (sand and building materials) and produces significant waste. Around 40% of global energy consumption can be linked directly to buildings. This sustainability challenge makes the role of smart buildings paramount to meeting zero-emission initiatives worldwide.
Virtually every industrial sector is digitally transforming. As more connected devices are introduced to work environments, this exposes the Industrial Control System (ICS) to more cyber risks. The challenge is that ICS components are not suited for communication over the Internet. Making matters worse, the operating technology and software that industrial operators use don’t receive enough patches for threat protection—out of fear of downtime.
If you couldn’t make the trip to Barcelona to attend Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 or you didn’t get your hands on virtual passes, don’t fret. Several ABI Research directors and analysts attended MWC 2023 and shared their thoughts in an insightful whitepaper. In this post, we give you a taste of those findings by sharing seven interesting quotes from our attendees. These findings should help you conceptualize the prevailing themes that swirled around the showroom floor at Fira Gran Via this year.
Edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) computing applications and use cases are gaining popularity among many companies. This is because, while AI benefits data processing and analysis, traditional AI sees its limits. As companies’ data needs grow significantly, transferring that data from a device or system to a centralized data center/cloud network for processing leads to higher latency and soaring network costs. Many AI applications, such as mobile robots, rely on real-time data to function operationally. For these reasons, edge AI is seen as the way forward.
Among worldwide central banks, offering Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) wallets is viewed as one fundamental way to overcome a two-fronted challenge they currently contend with. On the one hand, consumers are using less physical cash, which subverts public confidence in the fiat monetary system. At the same time, central banks are not oblivious to the fact that Meta, Facebook, Google, and other big tech juggernauts have or still have aspirations to issue their own currencies. Given these platforms' gigantic user bases, introducing their respective digital currencies would further destabilize economic influence.
Can the power grid handle the growing uptake in Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption? This is a common question about EVs with enormous real-world implications. On one hand, increased adoption of EVs is integral to meeting a country’s zero-emissions targets, but on the other, it further strains the grid and risks a blackout due to surging EV battery charging needs.
More than 50,000 technology innovators and decision makers rely on ABI Research for deep insight and analysis of transformational technologies and key markets. In addition, we also provide an impartial and expert perspective on the companies that are shaping these technologies and industries.
Preventing Intellectual Property (IP) theft is a growing security concern for companies. From hacktivist groups to competing firms, malicious actors increasingly aim to steal sensitive information for self-gain. Besides the financial loss that could result from intellectual property being stolen, the attack could also have a devastating effect on a firm’s brand reputation.
