Today we’re discussing synthetic data - that is, data trained by AI and computer simulations, rather than gathered from the real world.
Now, generating theoretical data is nothing new - we’ve been taking small samples of things and extrapolating from it for decades. However, with the advent of AI we don’t necessarily just need to extrapolate. We can generate completely new, close-to-real data using AI.

But why? And why does it matter? To explain we’re joined by Chief Technology Officer for AI at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Matt Armstrong-Barnes

This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.

According to a report published by the UK National Cyber Security Centre in January 2024, Artificial intelligence will increase the number and the severity of cyber attacks over the next two years.

So how are AI models also being developed to effectively tackle cyber crime? And what is the potential of AI for stopping cyber security threats? Joining us this week is To fill us in Rohini Chavakula, AI security lead at Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

AI in healthcare is considered an enormous opportunity. Diagnosis, drug discovery, treatment and triage – all are hot topics for new AI tools and assistance.

But is the world ready for AI-enabled healthcare? What are the challenges and opportunities the space presents?

To give us the bigger picture, we’re joined this week by Rich Bird, World Wide Healthcare and Life Sciences Lead at Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
