By Bryan Hamman, Area Vice President, Africa at NETSCOUT Enterprises are moving quickly from using AI to analyse operations, to applying it to make operational decisions. What began as advisory analytics has rapidly evolved into closed-loop control systems, with automated remediation, policy enforcement and real-time routing decisions executing in seconds, often without human intervention.

A new Web3 Foundation study of six evidence-based model households in the United Kingdom and United States found that it may take up to 10 full working days to read the privacy policies, terms, notices and supporting documents linked to one ordinary modelled digital day. Across the six scenarios, researchers identified 1,195 relevant documents containing more than 5.38 million words. Depending on the modelled household, simply reading the material linked to one ordinary day would require between 37 and 83 hours, or 4.6 to 10.4 full workdays. The largest reading burden was found in the modelled UK family scenario, where…

You search for a flight today and find a fare that works. Tomorrow, the same seat may cost more.

Kenya Airways is already applying this technology through its adoption of FlyNava Technologies’ AI powered Jupiter 5.0 pricing platform.  Airline pricing has always relied heavily on data, forecasting and revenue-management expertise. What AI brings is the ability to process much larger volumes of information, identify…

There is a point in gaming when the screen stops feeling like a screen. It happens when a racing game pulls into a fast corner and every movement feels immediate. When a character moves through a dark environment and details remain visible in the shadows. When a competitive match becomes so intense that there is barely time to think before reacting. That is the experience a good gaming monitor can create. And spending time with the LG UltraGear range makes it clear that the difference is not necessarily about having the biggest screen or the most impressive specification sheet. It…
