Federated Learning enables data scientists to create AI without compromising users confidentiality. This method is set to disrupt the centralized AI paradigm, in which better algorithm always comes at the cost of collecting more and more personal data. Thus, Federated Learning allows powerful network effects in industries where data cannot be transferred to third parties due to confidentiality reasons (health, bank, etc.).

Both bitcoin and Paris follow Gall's Law. They evolved from simple systems. These systems, in their now-complex form, may make no sense and look like a complete mess from the top down. In the same way that it's difficult to explain what's so compelling about cities like Paris, London or Hong Kong, it's difficult to explain what's so compelling about bitcoin to someone who has never used it. In both cases, you have to experience it from a bottom-up perspective to understand. These characteristics are essential properties of any long-lasting complex system, be it a city, a crypto network, or a rainforest.

Personalised medicine is a tenet to provide the right medication to the right person in the right dose at the right time. However, the process of personalizing medicine might appear daunting considering the intricate nature of diseases and the population affected. This article briefly describes how systems biology has boomed into one of the most sought-after approaches to simplify the study of biological systems and its use in personalized medicine. The modern era of genomic medicine relies on learning complex biological systems with a concerted effort of scientists from various disciplines. The virtuous cycle of, “biology drives technology drives computation” best explains a cross-disciplinary environment, where physicians, chemists, biologists, engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, and physicists come together as a team to study multifarious biological systems.

Curious and thoughtful investors can be forgiven for wondering how so many silly things can be going on. Why is there so much interest in stocks when valuations are so high? Why were central banks so aggressive in easing monetary conditions and are so slow in returning to normal? Why have cryptocurrencies exploded in popularity? What can or should investors do about it? In the effort to explore answers to these questions, it makes sense to consider a realm that persistently engenders similar types of silliness, that of corporate culture. Indeed, one of the influential business books that has withstood the test of time well, the Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge, provides a framework for diagnosing how dumb things can happen as well as a prescription for how to correct them. Such insights can also be effectively applied by investors to understand much of the silliness occurring in today's markets.

We are experiencing a fundamental paradigm shift in our relationship to knowledge. From the ‘information age’, we are moving towards the ‘reputation age’, in which information will have value only if it is already filtered, evaluated and commented upon by others. Seen in this light, reputation has become a central pillar of collective intelligence today. It is the gatekeeper to knowledge, and the keys to the gate are held by others. The way in which the authority of knowledge is now constructed makes us reliant on what are the inevitably biased judgments of other people, most of whom we do not know.

Machine learning models trained on data from blockchain-based marketplaces have the potential to create the world’s most powerful artificial intelligences. They combine two potent primitives: private machine learning, which allows for training to be done on sensitive private data without revealing it, and blockchain-based incentives, which allow these systems to attract the best data and models to make them smarter. The result is open marketplaces where anyone can sell their data and keep their data private, while developers can use incentives to attract the best data for their algorithms to them.

Engineering has experienced a technological revolution, but the basic engineering techniques applied in safety and reliability engineering, created in a simpler, analog world, have changed very little over the years. In this groundbreaking book, Nancy Leveson proposes a new approach to safety—more suited to today’s complex, sociotechnical, software-intensive world—based on modern systems thinking and systems theory.

Such dualistic thinking is a product of the prevailing objectivist Cartesian world view, with its orthodox logic, under which we are still brought up. In science, it was not until it was recognized that phenomena we observe in ‘nature’ are not independent of our acts of observing them, that this wave/particle paradox was resolved by appreciating that their behaviours are in fact complementary and constitute a duality rather than a dualism. Taken together they do not negate each other but create a unity or a coherent whole.

A society devoid of moral and ethical values cannot continue as an effective society as society is built on reciprocal cooperation and mutual understanding of people. A roundtable discussion organised by The Daily Star and CAMPE in December 2017, was a timely initiative to draw the attention of the people about the importance of ethics and values as the driving force for an enlightened society.

Like an ecosystem in nature, functional and departmental groupings in an organization are interconnected and interdependent, with the health of one group impacting all others in the system.Organizations are made up of a complex web of relationships, processes and infrastructures that create the natural environment in which team members operate. While each team member has his or her own role to play, they knowingly or unknowingly create ripple effects throughout the entire enterprise.
