Dataiku, the platform for Everyday AI, recently announced new AI governance and oversight as part of the company’s unified AI platform to allow organizations to scale analytics and AI initiatives under one centralized control tower. Dataiku 10 features a built-in suite of tools to help IT operators and data scientists automatically evaluate, monitor, and compare models under development or in production. In addition, also added in Dataiku 10, organizations can deliver value faster with packaged industry solutions, dedicated workspaces for business users, and accelerators for exploratory data analysis, geospatial analytics, and computer vision. Examples of newly available Dataiku solutions across industries include market basket analysis, product recommendations, plant electricity and CO2 emission forecasting, and real estate pricing, with more in the works. With the rapid adoption of AI, AI governance has become a major pain point for every industry, as it was never designed to manage the copious amounts of data we see today or the democratization of machine learning (ML). From CMOs to CFOs, data is crucial to any organization’s ability to allow employees in all departments to make impactful business decisions. However, without a modern data governance strategy, today’s organizations are opening themselves up to unnecessary risks. “The new risk and value assessment capabilities in AI governance plans allow businesses to assess and manage projects across multiple divisions, which now brings together IT leaders, product managers, operations and more. These departments have historically worked in silos, but data has made it imperative to break down these silos,” said Ritu Jyoti, Group Vice President, AI and Automation Research at IDC, “As all industries have scaled usage of AI and ML, it’s no longer the sole domain of data scientists and IT managers, but a requirement of the C-suite and more to be able to access and understand. The only way to make this happen is to have one simple language for how departments manage MLOps, creating a consistent framework and approach for every project.” “We’ve always believed that to scale AI, organizations need to enlist non-experts to the cause and bring more people into the fold to ensure project success. Dataiku 10 helps make that a reality,” said Clément Stenac, CTO and Co-founder at Dataiku, “This latest version is focused on governance, MLOps, and industry solutions that increase involvement from AI-adjacent roles such as IT operators, risk managers, project managers, and domain experts.” Today’s announcement is the most significant update to the Everyday AI platform, focused on three core functionalities and themes: 1. MLOps – Safely scale with oversight for analytics and AI initiatives Dataiku 10 introduces enhancements to its MLOps suite of tools to help IT operators and data scientists evaluate, monitor, and compare ML models, whether under development or in production. Automatic drift analysis and enhanced what-if simulations give teams better visibility into the behavior and performance of live models. 2. Governance and oversight AI Governance in Dataiku provides a dedicated watchtower in Dataiku where AI program and project leads, risk managers, and key stakeholders can systematically govern projects and models and oversee progress across the entire AI portfolio. Customers will be able to see all their models in a central model registry – regardless of whether they were developed natively in Dataiku or externally using tools like MLflow. Structured frameworks for project workflows, approvals, and project qualification provide superior AI oversight for enterprise customers. 3. Deliver value faster with business solutions and accelerators Organizations can accelerate speed to value by leveraging our off-the-shelf projects for various vertical use cases that customers can adapt and apply for their own purposes. Examples of advanced tools include new geospatial analytics, native deep learning capabilities, assisted data exploration, and enhanced visual interactive insights.

On 4 December 2009, the then President of India Smt Pratibha Patil graced CAPSI annual conference held at Vigyan Bhawan. She was requested to be the Supreme Commander of Private Security Services like Defence forces. She accepted the request with a smile and promised to take care of the industry. It was a Red Letters Day for the Private Security Industry. She became one & only PRESIDENT of a Nation in the WORLD to grace annual conference of private security organisation. Internationally renowned security leaders from many countries came to witness that historically unique event, and .to commemorate that great event the industry has celebrated 4th December as Private Security Day. The security personnel discharged their duties and responsibilities in the most befitting manner during the lockdown period and thereafter. They worked in the most hostile conditions and guarded the assets of organisations like frontline warriors. This is the time to appreciate their role and the professional commitment exhibited at that time. On the initiative of CAPSI, the event has been celebrated not only in all parts of India but global partners of CAPSI have also celebrated it. A large numbers of events have been planned to recognise the services of security guards. Some of the events included Parade, flag hoisting, motivational talk by Head of Service taker and thanks giving by PSA officials. Besides this, some of the PSAs organised friendly games, lunch and entertainment programmes to make the day memorable. It also brings a sense of pride amongst security personnels.  

Security isn’t a core activity for any homeowner or small business, so it’s not necessarily something you want to think about very much, or dedicate too much of your time to. But just because you have other priorities, you can’t afford to be complacent. After all, security is absolutely critical for protecting your property and – for businesses – your people too. The question is, how can you spend as little time, energy, and resources on your security as possible, while still keeping your property and your people safe? “Until recently, AI-powered security used to be reserved for enterprises and other large organizations with large budgets – but no longer. Now, small businesses can also harness the power of AI to improve your security, save time, and reduce costs – thanks to Hikvision’s AcuSense technology” Kevin You Product Management Director, Hikvision AI security is your biggest ally From washing machines and cars, to vacuum cleaners to computers, technology innovations have saved humankind millions and millions of hours of unproductive, routine work. Even more recently, AI technologies have helped to automate many of the tasks that used to take up our time – and security is a great example. So what is AI security, and how does it work? With AI security, cameras and other equipment basically do a lot of the security ‘heavy lifting’, which takes a lot of pressure off you. For example, AI security cameras can differentiate between humans and vehicles and other moving objects like animals or falling leaves. This means they can detect real security threats immediately, and send an alarm to your mobile phone. At the same time, AI security can help you minimize your false alarms, which reduces costs and saves you even more time. With ‘tags’ in your video timeline, you can also search for people and vehicles extremely quickly and easily, with no need to spend hours poring over footage manually. Sounds great, but doesn’t it cost too much? Until very recently, AI-powered security solutions have been quite expensive, and really only in reach for enterprise customers. However, this has all changed with the latest generation of AI security cameras, NVRs, and DVRs. In fact, Hikvision’s Pro series with AcuSense offers cameras in a similar price range to traditional security cameras. This means that you can take advantage of cool, labour-saving AI features with just a small incremental increase in equipment costs. Also, with very few false alarms, and automated monitoring of your home or business, you’ll start saving on operating costs from day one. That means AcuSense will pay for itself extremely quickly and generate major RoI over the lifecycle of the equipment. Why is AcuSense ‘the easy upgrade to AI’ There are lots of reasons why Hikvision’s AcuSense provides the easiest upgrade path to AI security. First, there’s the fact that the cameras are cost effective, and extremely easy to install and configure. Second, you can monitor your home or business from anywhere, playback videos and receive alarm notifications via a mobile app Hik-Connect. And third, you can upgrade by renewing your camera estate, or by deploying a new AcuSense-enabled NVR or DVR – whichever makes better sense for your business. All this means there’s no easier way to get the benefits of AI security.
