What is 'federated learning' in the context of AI and privacy-preserving technologies?
Answer: Training AI across multiple decentralized devices without sharing raw data
Federated learning trains machine learning models across distributed devices by sharing model updates rather than raw data, preserving user privacy and data locality.
In the context of semiconductors and emerging hardware, what does 'chiplet' architecture refer to?
Answer: Modular semiconductor dies combined into a single package to improve yield and flexibility
Chiplet architecture disaggregates a single monolithic chip into smaller modular dies that are integrated together, improving manufacturing yield and enabling heterogeneous computing.
What is the significance of 'post-quantum cryptography' for organizations adopting emerging technologies?
Answer: It develops cryptographic algorithms resistant to attacks by future quantum computers
Post-quantum cryptography develops classical algorithms designed to resist decryption by quantum computers, which could break current public-key encryption schemes.
Which concept describes using AI to automate and optimize IT operations tasks such as performance monitoring, anomaly detection, and root-cause analysis?
Answer: AIOps
AIOps applies machine learning and AI to IT operations data (logs, metrics, events) to automate issue detection, correlation, and remediation at scale.
What emerging technology uses light (photons) instead of electricity to transmit and process data, promising dramatic speed and energy efficiency improvements?
Answer: Photonic computing
Photonic computing uses photons to carry and process data at the speed of light, offering far lower latency and power consumption compared to electronic processors.
In emerging technology governance, what does 'responsible AI' primarily emphasize?
Answer: Designing AI with fairness, transparency, accountability, and minimal harm in mind
Responsible AI refers to developing and deploying AI systems that are ethical, fair, transparent, and accountable, minimizing bias and unintended societal harms.
