AIOps key to GenAI application growth
As the cloud expands and GenAI applications grow, reliable connectivity, enhanced application performance and low latency are paramount. Businesses are turning to cloud-based network services to meet these demands. However, many face challenges with operational complexity, high costs, security gaps and inconsistent application performance. Assuring the best user experience through AI-native operations (AIOps) is essential to overcoming these challenges and maximising efficiency.
Powered by Juniper's Mist AI-Native Networking platform, Google's Cloud WAN, a new solution from Google Cloud, delivers a fully managed, reliable and secure enterprise backbone for branch transformation. Mist is purpose-built to leverage AIOps for optimised campus and branch experiences, assuring that connections are reliable, measurable and secure for every device, user, application and asset.
'Mist has become synonymous with AI and cloud-native operations that optimise user experiences while minimising operator costs', said Sujai Hajela, EVP, Campus and Branch, Juniper Networks. 'Juniper's AI-Native Networking Platform is a perfect complement to Google's Cloud WAN solution, enabling enterprises to overcome campus and branch management complexity and optimise application performance through low latency connectivity, self-driving automation and proactive insights'.
Google's Cloud WAN delivers high-performance connections for campus and branch
The campus and branch services on Google's Cloud WAN driven by Mist provide a single, secure and high-performance connection point for all branch traffic. A variety of wired, wireless, NAC and WAN services can be hosted on Google Cloud Platform, enabling businesses to eliminate on-premises hardware, dramatically simplifying branch operations and reducing operational costs. By natively integrating Juniper and other strategic partners with Google Cloud, Google's Cloud WAN solution enhances agility, enabling rapid deployment of new branches and services, while improving security through consistent policies and cloud-delivered threat protection.

Google's AI Breakthrough Tackles Hidden Deepfakes
A revolutionary AI-driven tool developed by Google in collaboration with UC Riverside researchers is setting new standards in deepfake detection. The system, known as UNITE, aims to combat the growing issue of manipulated media by identifying deepfakes in videos where faces are not present, challenging traditional detection methods. The increasing sophistication of AI-generated content has raised concerns globally, as it becomes more difficult for both the public and experts to distinguish between real and fabricated videos. Deepfakes, which use AI to superimpose or manipulate faces, have already caused significant harm by spreading misinformation and misleading audiences. These video forgeries have been used in everything from political manipulation to creating harmful viral content. Traditional deepfake detection systems primarily focus on facial recognition, scanning for anomalies or inconsistencies within the faces of individuals in videos. However, these methods fall short when the face is obscured or absent altogether, which is common in modern deepfake techniques. To address this gap, UNITE has been designed to look beyond faces, analysing the entire video frame to detect subtle visual cues that indicate manipulation. ADVERTISEMENT The system employs an innovative approach that involves scrutinising the background, motion patterns, and even the physics of the scene, which can reveal subtle discrepancies introduced by AI editing. For example, changes in the motion of objects, lighting inconsistencies, and unnatural background shifts are all telltale signs of deepfakes, and UNITE is trained to spot these signs with an exceptional degree of accuracy. According to the researchers, the system works by comparing the video under scrutiny with a vast database of real-world footage, assessing what is considered natural or typical for specific environments, actions, and movements. These advanced methods are powered by deep learning algorithms that continuously improve their ability to identify fake content as they process more data. The collaboration between UC Riverside and Google aims to make deepfake detection more accessible and efficient for various industries, including newsrooms and social media platforms. As misinformation continues to spread through manipulated content, news organisations are increasingly turning to automated systems to help verify the authenticity of video materials before publication. With UNITE, they gain a powerful tool that goes beyond face-based analysis to ensure the credibility of the content. This AI solution is timely, given the surge in social media videos and user-generated content. Many platforms have struggled with moderating fake content, and deepfakes are becoming an especially potent tool for those seeking to spread disinformation. This is particularly concerning in political campaigns, where fake videos can be used to sway voter opinions or tarnish reputations. UNITE's success could pave the way for more advanced technologies that can identify digital fakes across various forms of media, including text and audio, further protecting against the rising tide of fake content. The system also raises important questions about privacy and ethics, especially as it opens the door for new ways to track and monitor digital media for authenticity.

Google Unveils AI Tool to Decode Ancient Roman Inscriptions
Home » Emerging technologies » Artificial Intelligence » Google Unveils AI Tool to Decode Ancient Roman Inscriptions Google DeepMind has revealed a new artificial intelligence tool called Aeneas, developed to help historians study ancient Roman inscriptions, The Guardian reported. The tool is designed to analyze and restore Latin texts that are often damaged or incomplete. It identifies the origin and estimated date of the inscriptions and can suggest missing words. According to DeepMind, Aeneas was created in collaboration with historians, including Dr. Thea Sommerschield from the University of Nottingham. The AI was trained on a dataset of nearly 200,000 Latin inscriptions, covering more than 16 million characters. These inscriptions, found on monuments, tombs, and everyday objects, offer key insights into life in ancient Rome. However, many inscriptions are partially destroyed or worn. Aeneas uses linguistic and historical patterns to compare the damaged texts with similar examples from the 7th century BC to the 8th century AD. The tool can determine the Roman province of origin. It estimates the date of the inscription within a 13-year range. DeepMind reported that Aeneas can also propose likely words for missing text segments. It has been tested on inscriptions where the original wording is already known, delivering accurate results. The AI successfully interpreted famous examples like the Res Gestae Divi Augusti and linked similar texts across regions of the Roman Empire. Historians described the tool as 'transformative.' In a trial involving 23 researchers, 90% found Aeneas useful in their analysis.
