BY  MIKE BROWN Apple's challenge of a court order to unlock an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino killers opens up a new front in the long-running battle between technology companies and the government over encryption. PHOTO: KENA BETANCUR/AFP/GETTY IMAGES Granting the FBI access to the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone would set a precedent that could be used “on over 175 phones,” Apple plans to tell the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday. Bruce Sewell, Apple general counsel, will testify in a hearing called “Balancing Americans’ Security and Privacy,” and  Re/code  has released Sewell’s prepared speech ahead of the meeting. Sewell will reference comments from Manhattan district attorney Cyrus Vance, who said in an interview with NPR  that his cyber lab cannot access 175 phones out of a total 670 phones being held. Vance said that he wants Apple to unlock phones “when there is a court order by an independent judge” that proves it is necessary. The FBI want access to

Age And Ability ... In The Cognitive Era

Image
By Frances West, IBM Our parents and grandparents represent one of the most complex societal and economic challenges facing nations as they struggle with increasing costs of healthcare and decreasing numbers of caregivers. People aged 60 and older currently make up approximately 12 percent of the global population, and by 2050, that number will rise to almost 22 percent, according to the United Nations . The challenge then becomes helping the elderly easily adapt to a technology-driven world, prolong their independence, stay more connected with friends and family, and help manage life’s everyday decisions. As we enter the  cognitive era , we have an incredible opportunity to augment our ability to better understand — and make more informed decisions — about our health, wealth and our overall happiness. Cognitive computing is a fundamentally new way for individuals and organizations to gain knowledge by “hearing” the complexities of natural language, “reading” and analyzing
