Critics wary as Google's Chrome begins an ad crackdown
SAN FRANCISCO — On Thursday, Google will begin using its Chrome browser to reshape the web by eradicating ads it deems annoying or otherwise detrimental to users. It just so happens that many of Google's own most lucrative ads will pretty much sail through its new filters. The move, which Google first floated back in June, is ostensibly aimed at making online advertising more tolerable by flagging sites that run annoying ads such as ones that auto-play video with sound. And it's using a big hammer: Chrome will start blocking all ads — including Google's own — on offending sites if they don't reform themselves. There's some irony in that, given that Google's aim is partly to convince people to turn off their own ad-blocking software. These popular browser...

Rise of the data protection officer, the hottest tech ticket in town
SAN FRANCISCO - They may not have the cachet of entrepreneurs, or geek chic of developers, but data protection officers are suddenly the hottest properties in technology.When Jen Brown got her first certification for information privacy in 2006, few companies were looking for people qualified to manage the legal and ethical issues related to handling customer data.But now it's 2018, companies across the globe are scrambling to comply with a European law that represents the biggest shake-up of personal data privacy rules since the birth of the internet - and Brown's inbox is being besieged by recruiters."I got into security before anyone cared about it, and I had a hard time finding a job," said the 46-year-old, who is the data protection officer (DPO) of analytics...

AI for everyone
By Werner VogelsWhen a technology has its breakthrough, it can often only be determined in hindsight. In the case of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), this is different. Currently, both concepts are everywhere and, personally, I think that there has never been a better time to develop smart applications and use AI and ML technologies. Why? Because three things are coming together.First: Users across the globe are capturing data digitally – whether this is in the physical world through sensors or GPS, or online through click stream data. As a result, there is a critical mass of data available. Secondly, there is enough affordable computing capacity in the cloud for companies and organizations, no matter what their size, to use intelligent applications. Thirdly, an...
