Google Patent Straightens Out AI Training Data
Google is developing tools to keep its data straight. The tech giant has applied to patent a system for 'managing artificial intelligence and machine learning datasets in cloud storage' that properly organizes datasets for AI training. READ ALSO: White House Deregulation of AI Creates Fresh Pitfalls for Businesses and Microsoft SharePoint Attacks Show Weaknesses of On-Prem Storage vs. Cloud Google's patent essentially tackles data hygiene, or the concept of arranging data efficiently to avoid wasted storage space, security concerns and access-control problems. 'Copying data to a separate storage for each training iteration can cause increased latency, and redundant data duplication,' Google said in the filing. It also 'increases privacy issues, which is especially troublesome when the dataset contains sensitive, personally identifiable information.' Google's remedy relies on 'bookmarks,' or references linking to different pieces of data. Instead of copy and pasting data from one place to another, which can create a bunch of messy duplicates, the bookmarks create virtual groupings that reference the data used in training. The bookmarking system allows datasets to be grouped, shared and managed for machine learning training without putting the underlying data itself at risk. Cloud computing and AI are massive parts of Google's business: In the most recent quarter, the company brought in $13 billion in cloud revenue, up 32% from the previous year's quarter, beating Wall Street's expectations. And earlier this month, OpenAI announced a partnership to use Google Cloud to host ChatGPT. With the growing reliance on cloud platforms to build and develop AI, finding ways to properly manage the flow of data is critical. As Google continues to fight for cloud relevance with other hyperscalers like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, patents like this could help instill trust.

Microsoft Will Delete Your Passwords This Friday. What to Do Now
We're only days away from the Microsoft Authenticator app no longer managing passwords. As of this Friday, you won't be able to save or manage passwords, use two-factor authentication or auto-fill. And it won't be your go-to password manager anymore, either. Earlier this summer, Microsoft announced it was moving from passwords to passkeys. So instead of creating a password with a mix of letters, symbols and numbers, you'll use PINs, fingerprint scans, facial recognition or a pattern on your device's lock screen to log in to your accounts. Passkeys are a safer alternative to the risky password habits we use, according to Attila Tomaschek, a CNET software senior writer and digital security expert. CNET's password survey found that 49% of US adults have bad password habits. And using the same password for several accounts or one that's easy to guess can put you at risk of hackers stealing your data. Yet, the switch to a new login process is coming up quickly. So it's time to figure out how passkeys will work with Microsoft and to pick a new password manager. Here's what you need to know to get started. Microsoft Authenticator will stop supporting passwords on Aug. 1 Microsoft Authenticator houses your passwords and lets you sign into all your Microsoft accounts using a PIN, facial recognition like Windows Hello or other biometric data like a fingerprint. Authenticator can be used in other ways, such as verifying you're logging in if you forgot your password, or using two-factor authentication as an extra layer of security for your accounts. In June, the company stopped letting users add passwords to Authenticator. As of this month, you won't be able to use the autofill password function. And starting Aug. 1, you'll no longer be able to use saved passwords. If you still want to use passwords instead of passkeys, you can store them in Microsoft Edge. However, CNET experts recommend adopting passkeys during this transition. "Passkeys use public key cryptography to authenticate users, rather than relying on users themselves creating their own (often weak or reused) passwords to access their online accounts," Tomaschek said. Why passkeys are a better alternative to passwords So what exactly is a passkey? It's a credential created by the Fast Identity Online Alliance that uses biometric data or a PIN to verify your identity and access your account. Think about using your fingerprint or Face ID to log into your account. That's generally safer than using a password that is easy to guess or susceptible to a phishing attack. "Passwords can be cracked, whereas passkeys need both the public and the locally stored private key to authenticate users, which can help mitigate risks like falling victim to phishing and brute-force or credential-stuffing attacks," said Tomaschek. Passkeys aren't stored on servers like passwords. Instead, they're stored only on your personal device. More conveniently, this takes the guesswork out of remembering your passwords and the need for a password manager. How to set up a passkey in Microsoft Authenticator Microsoft said in a May 1 blog post that it will automatically detect the best passkey to set up and make that your default sign-in option. "If you have a password and 'one-time code' set up on your account, we'll prompt you to sign in with your one-time code instead of your password. After you're signed in, you'll be prompted to enroll a passkey. Then the next time you sign in, you'll be prompted to sign in with your passkey," according to the blog post. To set up a new passkey, open your Authenticator app on your phone. Tap on your account and select "Set up a passkey." You'll be prompted to log in with your existing credentials. After you're logged in, you can set up the passkey. Other password manager alternatives Since Microsoft will get rid of all of your passwords in two weeks, you'll need a new place to store your passwords safely. Tomaschek has a few of the best password manager recommendations after testing and reviewing several. The top recommendation is Bitwarden for its transparency. It's open-source and audited annually. From a price perspective, the free plan lets you store infinite passwords across unlimited devices. The free plan also includes features most password managers would charge for, including password sharing and a username and password generator. Bitwarden's upgraded plans have other upgraded features that could be worth the cost, too. Personally, Tomaschek has been using 1Password for a while, and he likes the interface and family plan. Even though it's second on the list, Tomaschek says it's just as good as Bitwarden.
