Machine Learning (ML) is not just hype, it’s here to stay. While modern ML techniques such as Deep Neural Nets (DNN) are extremely powerful and can effectively capture the nuances of complex data, their complexity and black-box nature can make them difficult to trust — and even more difficult to explain. The biggest challenge for a data scientist or ML engineer is explaining these models to stakeholders who may not have a technical background. Here is where intuitive, simpler models come into play.

API fuzzing is a technique used to test the security and reliability of an application’s APIs. Fuzzing involves sending a large number of malformed or unexpected inputs to an API to uncover potential vulnerabilities, such as input validation issues, buffer overflows, injection attacks or other types of security flaws. The main goal of API fuzzing is to identify vulnerabilities or weaknesses in the API implementation that an attacker could exploit.

There’s a lot of interest in Rust in safety- and security-minded industries. Heck, even Microsoft recently acknowledged that Rust may be the best chance at safe systems programming. But for industries such as automotive, aerospace and defense, the open source language’s rate of change is a challenge. “There’s an increasing sense of eagerness, if you will, to adopt Rust into these long-lived certification-focused projects,” said Tony Aiello, a product manager and technology strategist at AdaCore.

One could capsulize the dozens of news announcements made Aug. 29 on Day 1 of Google Cloud Next 23 this way: Business users and software developers alike will be able to do a lot more work in shorter time frames by simply writing simple queries, then pointing and clicking in the company’s AI-augmented workplace and development apps. It’s all about the application understanding a user’s intentions and being prepared ahead of time as to what the use case entails.
