There is much debate about blockchain, what does it do and how does it work?

by CSS Partners LLPon 10 November 2017in 2017 No comment

Blockchain provides mass access to an open, collectively controlled record that cannot be changed and offers a very high level of protection through cryptography and mathematical algorithms.

7 Keys to Success for Growth Companies

by CSS Partners LLPon 16 October 2017in 2017 No comment

 

What to look for when assessing whether an emerging company has got what it takes to succeed.

Such diversification has lead many to speculate whether GAFA have become too big to fail.

What developments in AI are needed for us to reap the true advantages it can bring and is the world ready for it?

Is AI worth and AI is a general term that implies the use of a computer to model and/or replicate intelligent behavior. Research in AI focuses on the development and analysis of algorithms that learn and perform intelligent behavior with minimal human intervention. Like most new technology, AI has become part of everyday life without us knowing it, whether that’s the spellchecker on your phone or the software sitting behind credit score calculations.

The global technology powerhouses have declared AI will change the way we live and work over the next decade but will the overall impact be positive or negative?
