Why Data Jobs Are Hot and How to Get One
Data jobs are among the most high-profile and high-paying roles in tech, but there is still some confusion about the differences between the new job titles and functions that are now available.

How to find, keep, and develop tech talent
As digital accelerates, so do organizations’ need for speed, flexibility, reliability, security, and value. And with good reason: advances in technology can enhance productivity, improve outcomes, and increase bottom lines. Those benefits, however, depend on not just finding but keeping and growing tech talent. What can companies do to better source and retain top tech workers?

Do You Need a Degree to Work For a Big Tech Company Like Google?
While having a university degree in a technology-related field can certainly help you get a new job offer from a big tech company like Apple or Microsoft, top educational qualifications are no longer always required. Simply stated, due to the imbalance in supply and demand for top tech talent, it is increasingly the case that you can land a job with just your skills and hands-on experience.

An Artificial Intelligence Life Cycle: From Conception to Production
Drawing on our experience of more than a decade of AI in academic research, technology development, industry engagement, postgraduate teaching, doctoral supervision and organisational consultancy, we present the 'CDAC AI Life Cycle', a comprehensive life cycle for the design, development and deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems and solutions. It consists of three phases, Design, Develop and Deploy, and 17 constituent stages across the three phases from conception to production of any AI initiative. The 'Design' phase highlights the importance of contextualising a problem description by reviewing public domain and service-based literature on state-of-the-art AI applications, algorithms, pre-trained models and equally importantly ethics guidelines and frameworks, which then informs the data, or Big Data, acquisition and preparation. The 'Develop' phase is technique-oriented, as it transforms data and algorithms into AI models that are benchmarked, evaluated and explained. The 'Deploy' phase evaluates computational performance, which then apprises pipelines for model operationalisation, culminating in the hyperautomation of a process or system as a complete AI solution, that is continuously monitored and evaluated to inform the next iteration of the life cycle. An ontological mapping of AI algorithms to applications, followed by an organisational context for the AI life cycle are further contributions of this article.

Intelligence, information warfare, cyber warfare, electronic warfare – what they are and how Russia is using them in Ukraine
Russia has one of the most capable and technological militaries on the planet. They have advanced intelligence, information warfare, cyber warfare and electronic warfare capabilities.
