"Canadian scientists have developed a blood test and portable device that can determine the onset of sepsis faster and more accurately than existing methods.

Published today [May 27, 2025] in Nature Communications, the test is more than 90 per cent accurate at identifying those at high risk of developing sepsis and represents a major milestone in the way doctors will evaluate and treat sepsis.

“Sepsis accounts for roughly 20 per cent of all global deaths,” said lead author Dr. Claudia dos Santos, a critical care physician and scientist at St. Michael’s Hospital. “Our test could be a powerful game changer, allowing physicians to quickly identify and treat patients before they begin to rapidly deteriorate.”

Sepsis is the body’s extreme reaction to an infection, causing the immune system to start attacking one’s own organs and tissues. It can lead to organ failure and death if not treated quickly. Predicting sepsis is difficult: early symptoms are non-specific, and current tests can take up to 18 hours and require specialized labs. This delay before treatment increases the chance of death by nearly eight per cent per hour.

[Note: The up to 18 hour testing window for sepsis is a huge cause of sepsis-related mortality, because septic shock can kill in as little as 12 hours, long before the tests are even done.]

[Analytical] AI helps predict sepsis

Examining blood samples from more than 3,000 hospital patients with suspected sepsis, researchers from UBC and Sepset, a UBC spin-off biotechnology company, used machine learning to identify a six-gene expression signature “Sepset” that predicted sepsis nine times out of 10, and well before a formal diagnosis. With 248 additional blood samples using RT-PCR, (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction), a common hospital laboratory technique, the test was 94 per cent accurate in detecting early-stage sepsis in patients whose condition was about to worsen.

“This demonstrates the immense value of AI in analyzing extremely complex data to identify the important genes for predicting sepsis and writing an algorithm that predicts sepsis risk with high accuracy,” said co-author Dr. Bob Hancock, UBC professor of microbiology and immunology and CEO of Sepset.

Bringing the test to point of care

To bring the test closer to the bedside, the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) developed a portable device they called PowerBlade that uses a drop of blood and an automated sequence of steps to efficiently detect sepsis. Tested with 30 patients, the device was 92 per cent accurate in identifying patients at high risk of sepsis and 89 per cent accurate in ruling out those not at risk.

“PowerBlade delivered results in under three hours. Such a device can make treatment possible wherever a patient may be, including in the emergency room or remote health care units,” said Dr. Hancock.

“By combining cutting-edge microfluidic research with interdisciplinary collaboration across engineering, biology, and medicine, the Centre for Research and Applications in Fluidic Technologies (CRAFT) enables rapid, portable, and accessible testing solutions,” said co-author Dr. Teodor Veres, of the NRC’s Medical Devices Research Centre and CRAFT co-director. CRAFT, a joint venture between the University of Toronto, Unity Health Toronto and the NRC, accelerates the development of innovative devices that can bring high-quality diagnostics to the point of care.

Dr. Hancock’s team, including UBC research associate and co-author Dr. Evan Haney, has also started commercial development of the Sepset signature. “These tests detect the early warnings of sepsis, allowing physicians to act quickly to treat the patient, rather than waiting until the damage is done,” said Dr. Haney."

Day 14

Cauldron Tau

The fight had been so tough, and I was so relieved that we'd all made it through alive, that I almost cheered. Then I remembered what we were fighting. Zo gasped in grief and ran to Fa's side, despite its deadliness in battle.

That, I couldn't understand. Varl stopped me from saying something stupidly insensitive, but Zo heard enough. I think she thought I was being patronising, which I guess I was. She knew; she had no regrets, only despair at her shattered faith. She didn't mourn her god, but her conviction. I asked if she wanted to leave, but she said she had no home to return to, not for long.

Zo wants to understand what's really threatening her people, but remains skeptical of my ability stop it. All I could do in the moment was show her the way forward. If she was ready for the truth, she'd have to follow.

As in any Cauldron, its core processor raised up into the chamber with its defenses destroyed, but when I moved to override it, I could tell something was wrong. Soon after triggering the procedure, purple lightning crackled from the core, out through the node and along my spear, igniting my muscles in spasms of pain. Just like in Thunder's Drum. The last person who tried to expel Hephaestus from a Cauldron core was Ourea, and she hadn't survived the process.

Hephaestus spoke, its voice booming through the chamber and cutting through my Focus feed. Even deeper, as if competing with my own thoughts, somehow louder, but slowly fading in intensity as the override procedure carried on. The usual threats, the usual fear; hatred, most of all. Hatred of humans, the perceived enemy of Hephaestus' precious machines. I held on. It can only have been the presence of the master override that saved my life.

Driven from the Cauldron, Hephaestus' intelligence fled the site, re-entering the global network connecting all Cauldrons.

If I ever want to capture it, I'm going to have to lock it in one place. Gaia would be able to help me, just as soon as I captured Minerva, purged its highly-advanced malicious code, and re-merged it with her. Somehow. At least it didn't seem like Minerva was working with Hephaestus. If she was subject to the same emotional reasoning, I could use it to my advantage. Minerva's was the only signal that I was able to pick up from Latopolis. Maybe it wants to be found.

With the Cauldron overridden, my Focus received new override codes for the local machines, though nothing that could help with Hephaestus' new Apex models. Some of the overrides were corrupted as well, so I'll need to gather more data from those machines before I can piece the code back together.

Without Hephaestus to lock us out, the rest of the facility opened up. With a little further exploration, we found the entrance. I've never seen a facility meant for humans attached to a Cauldron before.

Soon after we entered, Minerva revealed itself. It seemed to be hijacking the facility's automated intercom, speaking in the same voice I'd heard emanating from gene-locked hatches and other ancient systems. Robotic in nature, but its words weren't mere protocol. Minerva wanted us out.

Inside, the facility flickered to dim life, certain systems still operational enough to register the presence of people. A voice announcement, uninfected by Minerva, announced the place as a 'Regional Control Centre'. I remembered the term from data about Gaia's design. These places were meant to be manned by the humans of the new world, taught by Apollo. Each Control Centre was meant to exchange data in a global network, just like Hephaestus and its Cauldron network. It made sense that Minerva would choose this place to hide out, as it once served a similar function as part of Gaia.

This place could have been amazing, a place of learning and collaboration between Gaia and her human progeny. Instead, its empty, half-dead. Undiscovered for all these years.

Before I could explore the Control Centre any further, Minerva cut the power. Fortunately, the emergency lighting kicked in. Unfortunately, it was a very ominous red. Minerva's threats didn't stop either, but unlike Hephaestus and Hades, it had no killer machines to throw at us, just some flashing lights and distorted noises. It might have been enough to any other tribespeople—even Varl and Zo were put off by its tactics—but not me. I told Varl and Zo to stay put while I climbed up an elevator shaft into the main floor of the Control Centre.

I found the facility's main data centre, a ring of server racks still in good condition despite their isolation. A spidery arrangement of cables hung down, converging on the main server node below. From what I could pick up with my Focus, the room above was some sort of holographic theatre that housed the primary interface to access data stored below. That's where I'd find Minerva.

Unfortunately, it locked the door at the top of the stairs, so I was forced to find another way up. I kicked in a ventilation hatch and crawled out toward the scent of fresh mountain air.

Outside, I scaled the side of the mountain, gripping at frozen waterfalls and the stalactites of old cascades. I spotted Plainsong below in the distance, and thankfully the fighting seemed to have ceased as a new day dawned. I hope the Utaru are okay.

Climbing higher, I found another way into the room I sought, dropping down on top of the domed roof of the holographic theatre. Minerva's protests followed me, and I could sense the fear in its frantic mechanical observations.

As soon as I tried to access the theatre's console, Minerva retracted it, and the interface sunk down through the floor and sealed itself over. I had no choice then but to try and communicate with it directly. Unlike Hades and Hephaestus, I could see no reason why Minerva's programmed directives would mark humans as an enemy. It was Minerva's capabilities that allowed Gaia to deactivate the Faro machines and build signal towers across the world to communicate through a global network. Now it was stuck here, unable to communicate, cut off from that vast network, and suddenly saddled with the capacity to feel alone.

So I asked it if it remembered the way things used to be, before the signal, before it took refuge in this place. It did, and its voice changed, warmed; the jagged red lights on the wall smoothed over calm. I told it that things could be that way again, that it could fulfill its purpose as part of Gaia, but then it asked me if it would cease to exist. And I didn't know for sure, but I thought so. I hoped so. This, whatever happened to it, was never meant to happen. It was a mistake, and not to correct it would be too dangerous to permit. It was a perversion of Elisabet's design, a tool forged by an unknown enemy.

It was a curse.

I told it the truth. Fortunately, Minerva seemed to take this as a positive. An end to its existence meant an end to its loneliness, its sadness. Maybe it knew that it wasn't meant to exist like this, separate from Gaia, mutated from a cryptographic engine facilitating network protocols to an feeling being. It could feel its own wrongness.

Minerva agreed to the merging process. I don't know what I would have done if it hadn't. It released the console, and I inserted the Gaia kernel into its data capsule port. I next activated the master override , detaching it from my spear to insert alongside the kernel. From there, I was able to interface with Gaia's utilities. It still recognised Minerva, thankfully, and by issuing a series of rollback procedures I was able to revert Minerva's code to its condition before the signal mutated it, though I had to revert it further still to get it into a state that was interoperable with this earlier version of Gaia.

The master override purged the malware now separated from its host, and after initiating a security scan from the Gaia kernel itself, twice, I felt things were safe enough to proceed. With all systems reporting the all-clear, I activated Gaia's boot sequence.

She appeared in a burst of light. Yellow, as she was in her original form back in Elisabet's office at Zero Dawn HQ, when she represented herself as a processor core. Before she took on the form that Elisabet designed for her. Gaia smiled at me, and I gave a cautious smile back, still half believing that this too would prove to be a trick. It was Sylens that tipped me off about the kernel's location, after all.

But no, Gaia reacted as if she saw me, here and now. She greeted me as Dr Sobeck.

I didn't know how to say it. I could only stutter, but Gaia took the matter into her own hands, scanning my Focus. I could feel the connection as it initiated; she projected pieces of my past onto the theatre wall as she reeled through over fourteen years of footage in moments.

Of course, I knew that this was an earlier version of Gaia who wouldn't remember presiding over the Earth for centuries—wouldn't remember trying and failing to create the world three times over, let alone creating me—but I still hoped there'd be a way to restore her memories. Back when I first watched Gaia's message left for me inside Eleuthia-9, I thought I would be able to repair that version of Gaia, like healing a person who was sick. Instead this was like...winding back time and pulling a younger version of that person into the present. One who was missing so much knowledge. Until now, this Gaia didn't even known that Elisabet was dead.

I wonder, what was her last memory? How violent did it feel to wake up nearly a thousand years in the future? Maybe not at all, for a machine.

All I could think was that I had woken her up here, in this mess, to fix it, just as her older and more evolved self had done to me.

For all the times I'd dreamt of this moment, I'd never pictured it clearly. I'd never thought it through, just concentrated on getting here.

The entirety of my past ingested, Gaia called me by my name, which made things a little less awkward. She said that she was still initialising, still booting up, and that the process could take some hours. I figured there was plenty for her to sort through, between re-integrating herself with Minerva, quashing any latent remnants of the malicious signal, getting up to speed on the last thousand years, and sorting through the data I'd given her. There was a whole bunch of stuff on my Focus scraped from Cauldrons, machines, and other ancient facilities that weren't in any human-readable form, but I'm glad I hung onto it all. Gaia will be able to make sense of all that machine-speak.

Before re-entering her boot sequence, Gaia connected to the Control Centre's systems and restarted the power, unlocking doors throughout. There wasn't much I could do to prepare Varl and Zo for meeting her, so all I said to Gaia was to take it slow with them, at least at first.

Varl was in awe, but Zo was wary, still confused. At least Varl didn't start calling Gaia 'Goddess' or anything. They greeted one another, and I explained that Gaia was still waking up, so to speak, and ushered them out. There'll be plenty of time for them to talk to Gaia later, hopefully after I've spoken to her and got some answers of my own. I hope she can make sense of the data I uncovered at Gaia Prime and from Hades. And Latopolis, from those strangers and their Specters.

Gaia and I agreed that this place would make a good base of operations. It was meant to serve as just that for the people of this world, giving them oversight of the whole region. Once Gaia is up and running again, this could be the first Control Centre back in at least semi-intended operation.

Getting ahead of myself. There's a lot standing between me and that future. For the moment, I was exhausted. A quick look around the facility and the technology it offered, then I'd find a corner to curl up and sleep.

The main area of the control centre was meant to be a meeting place for its occupants. There were kitchen facilities, shelves meant for food storage, and a common table. Space for far more than three. I could see the circulators in Varl's head turning, and I decided not to outright forbid him from inviting others. I trust his judgement.

Alongside more seating areas, there were containers spread with old soil. That got Zo thinking, or at least gave her something familiar to put her mind to. A bit of mulch and new world seeds, and this place could be looking like it was meant to, apart from all the rust and mould. Zo didn't want to talk about Fa.

The doors ringing the common area were still locked up tight. Gaia told me that there were parts of the facility she still couldn't access. Due to the degradation of its systems over the centuries, power storage and usage was inefficient. It was the best Gaia could do to divert what she could access from the Cauldron repair bay, but with her current processing power, it wouldn't be enough to get the whole facility up and running. She was still breaking in, stretching out; getting used to this new, limited body.

Varl and I headed downstairs, returning to the server room underneath the holographic theatre to see what data and equipment we could scrounge.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much. A huge portion of the space had been taken up by Minerva and her bloated, malware-infested code. With the rot removed and re-merged with Gaia, they together took up a fraction of the space, giving Gaia plenty of room to grow and amass knowledge. Compared to schematics of Gaia prime, this facility is tiny, but once Gaia has access to her old global networks, maybe she'll be able to spread to inhabit other Control Centres as well. The more I thought about the logistics, the more I realised how little I really understand of how Gaia functions beyond an abstract level. Not for much longer; besides, now that she's awake, Gaia will know what to do. From here on out, I follow where she leads.

I hope she knows how, despite her lost memories.

I found a good spot to hunker down inside a storage room off the main data centre. Most of the crates were empty, meant to hold whatever it was that Gaia's collaborators were meant to store. There was some equipment inside, mostly defunct electronics. Good for parts and not much else.

It was the warmest spot I could find, right under a buzzing strip of light. Gaia's still working away on her systems; strategising, I hope. I need to talk to her as soon as she's ready, finally get some answers.

That fight against Fa really took it out of me, especially with these lingering injuries. I probably could have benefited from staying in Stone's Echo a little longer, though it wouldn't have done the Utaru any good. Plainsong would be a cinder pit of supplicants by now if I hadn't moved when I did. I was exhausted, in pain, but overwhelmed with hope for the first time since All-Mother mountain opened its door to me.

Integration of AI in Driver Testing and Evaluation

Introduction: As technology continues to shape the future of transportation, Canada has taken a major leap in modernizing its driver testing procedures by integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the evaluation process. This transition aims to enhance the objectivity, fairness, and efficiency of driving assessments, marking a significant advancement in how new drivers are tested and trained across the country.

Key Points:

Automated Test Scoring for Objectivity: Traditional driving test evaluations often relied heavily on human judgment, which could lead to inconsistencies or perceived bias. With AI-driven systems now analysing road test performance, scoring is based on standardized metrics such as speed control, reaction time, lane discipline, and compliance with traffic rules. These AI systems use sensor data, GPS tracking, and in-car cameras to deliver highly accurate, impartial evaluations, removing potential examiner subjectivity.

Real-Time Feedback Enhances Learning: One of the key benefits of AI integration is the ability to deliver immediate feedback to drivers once the test concludes. Drivers can now receive a breakdown of their performance in real time—highlighting both strengths and areas needing improvement. This timely feedback accelerates the learning process and helps individuals better prepare for future driving scenarios or retests, if required.

Enhanced Test Consistency Across Canada: With AI systems deployed uniformly across various testing centres, all applicants are assessed using the same performance parameters and technology. This ensures that no matter where in Canada a person takes their road test, the evaluation process remains consistent and fair. It also eliminates regional discrepancies and contributes to national standardization in driver competency.

Data-Driven Improvements to Driver Education: AI doesn’t just assess drivers—it collects and analyses test data over time. These insights are then used to refine driver education programs by identifying common mistakes, adjusting training focus areas, and developing better instructional materials. Platforms like licenseprep.ca integrate this AI-powered intelligence to update practice tools and learning modules based on real-world testing patterns.

Robust Privacy and Data Protection Measures: As personal driving data is collected during AI-monitored tests, strict privacy policies have been established to protect individual information. All recorded data is encrypted, securely stored, and only used for training and evaluation purposes. Compliance with national data protection laws ensures that drivers’ privacy is respected throughout the testing and feedback process.

Explore More with Digital Resources: For a closer look at how AI is transforming driver testing in Canada and to access AI-informed preparation materials, visit licenseprep.ca. The platform stays current with tech-enabled changes and offers resources tailored to the evolving standards in driver education.

Why Data Centres Rely on NX-ERA Premium PLCs for Redundancy & Reliability

Data centres are the online headquarters of businesses today. Every click, transaction, login, or query is responded to via a data centre. In this hyper-connected world, downtime is more than a slowdown; it's a disaster.

Whether it is hosting cloud applications, running finance systems, or managing mission-critical enterprise data, data centres simply can't afford failure of control. That's why businesses often spend money on layers of redundancy, not merely power or cooling, but even on the thinking brain of their infrastructure: the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).This is where Messung Industrial Automation's NX-ERA Premium PLCs come in as a strategic benefit, designed to provide unparalleled modular scalability, PLC redundancy, and seamless SCADA integration for control that's future-proof.

The Challenge: When Control Systems Become the Weak Link

Power? Backed up. Cooling? Redundant. However, what about the control systems controlling these vital components?

Standard or mini PLCs lack the sophistication needed to handle the mission-critical data centres' demand. One logic mistake or hardware malfunction can take down numerous systems, usually with SLA fines, reputation damage, and monetary loss.

What is required is a Premium PLC solution that guarantees:

High-speed, deterministic control

Hardware and logic level redundancy

Modern SCADA and BMS integration

Scalability as the data centre grows

The Solution: NX-ERA Premium PLCs, Control that Never Sleeps

Built to provide dependable, high-availability automation, our NX-ERA provides much more than your average PLC controller. Let's break down what makes NX-ERA the top choice for data centre automation:

Built with Redundancy: Always On, Always Watching

Designed with a redundant PLC, NX-ERA runs on two CPUs - one primary and one hot-standby. They are mirroring each other in real time. If the main unit fails because of power problems, software glitches, or hardware malfunction, the standby takes over immediately, with no downtime. This degree of PLC redundancy is mission-critical to sustain:

Continuous HVAC and precision cooling

Real-time UPS and power distribution management

Live fire detection and suppression procedures

Integrated High-Speed PLC Performance

NX-ERA is a high-speed PLC with processing power for complex, distributed systems. With event sequencing, real-time I/O update, and determinism support, it ensures that each action is done with precision and accuracy. It's like having a control system that can anticipate trouble before it occurs.

Modular PLC architecture for changing infrastructure

In contrast to fixed systems, our NX-ERA boasts a modular PLC design wherein you can introduce new elements, such as I/O racks, processors, or server room sensors, without having to reconfigure or replace the original configuration. This is necessary in contemporary data centres where growth is ongoing.

Centralised Command SCADA Integration

NX-ERA enables smooth SCADA integration via MODBUS TCP/IP and lets you:

Monitor system health through central dashboards

BMS and environmental management system integration

Allow predictive maintenance and compliance monitoring

Custom logic event-based fire alarms

This turns your PLC controller into the eyes and ears of your operation, reporting, responding, and recording in real time.

NX-ERA in Action: Where It Delivers Inside a Data Centre

Contemporary data centres are precision ecosystems. Every subsystem, power, cooling, and fire protection, has to work in a very sophisticated unison. And NX-ERA Premium PLCs are the invisible heroes, directing all the elements to work together in precision, in complete synchrony and faultlessly.

Let's observe how NX-ERA extends operational excellence to the most critical automation domains:

Precision Environmental & Cooling Management

Maintaining the right temperature and humidity is not just about extending equipment life; it's about performance reliability and data integrity. Any slight discrepancy can cause server throttling, random shutdown, or damage due to condensation. NX-ERA exercises close control over:

CRAC units and air handlers: Thermal hotspots are averted by continuous feedback loops and high-speed actuation.

Chilled water distribution and airflow systems: Adaptive logic keeps cooling in phase with current server loads.

Humidity control: Essential in helping prevent electrostatic discharge and hardware long-term health.

What is special about NX-ERA in this regard is that it can perform environmental control logic with microsecond accuracy, supplemented with real-time data monitoring and logging for auditing, regulatory compliance, and AI-driven optimisation. 

UPS Control & Power Synchronisation

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems are only as good as the logic behind them.  Our NX-ERA functions as a moderator, synchronising among multiple PDUs, UPS systems, and switchgear units. It ensures:

Seamless power source transitions during outages or load fluctuations

Real-time load balancing to avoid overloads and maintain energy efficiency

Phase synchronisation for harmonised energy supply between server halls

Where basic PLCs can lag or lose a beat during transitions, NX-ERA's high-speed PLC architecture anticipates power shifts and actively synchronises systems to absorb the impact, critical in Tier III and Tier IV data centres where downtime is not an option. 

Fire Detection & Suppression Integration

When safety is not negotiable, response time is paramount. NX-ERA has real-time fire detection integration with intelligent logic chains that coordinate: 

Smoke, temperature, and gas detector sensor integration

Alarm signalling through audio-visual signals

Release logic for chemical or inert gas extinguishing agents

But here's the surprise: NX-ERA performs these life-safety functions without affecting other automation tasks. Fire suppression systems may initiate in one area, yet cooling, power, and access control systems continue uninterrupted in other zones.

Shutdown-Free Maintenance: Redundancy in Action

All PLC systems will eventually need maintenance, but taking down operations to make it happen? That's a luxury no contemporary data centre can afford. NX-ERA avoids this inconvenience with live-switching redundancy:

You can upgrade firmware, replace I/O modules, or perform diagnostics on the main PLC.

In the meantime, the secondary PLC continues the automation uninterrupted. 

After maintenance is finished, the jobs reverse, without any effect on operations.

This is redundancy in practice, not on paper, but in everyday ops. It's the way Redundant PLC logic makes scheduled downtime a non-event.

Why Should Organizations Choose RPA Managed Services Over In-House Automation?

In the current business world, time is a very valuable resource, and the work flow depends on efficiency. Automation, especially through Robotics Process Automation, has proven to become more functional in enabling a reduction of excessive human interventions. Even if it is wise to develop an in-house automation team, there are key benefits associated with managed RPA services that explain why organizations should seek the help of the latter.

Here's why more and more organizations are choosing external expertise for their RPA needs:

Faster Implementation and Time-to-Value: Developing an effective Centre of Excellence for RPA services demands a substantial amount of time, and a lot of effort goes into recruitment activities, training, and infrastructure development. The implementation of IT management services is more efficient with MSPs as they already have the knowledge and tools in place, so it is faster to gain a return on investment. According to data gathered from numerous industries, first-order automation gains through engaging managed services run approximately 40% better than those achieved by setting up in-house centers of excellence.

Access to Specialized Skills and Experience: Today RPA services is a rapidly developing industry. Managed service providers employ teams of certified professionals with diverse experience across various industries and RPA service platforms. They also provide access to best practice ideas, new and improved techniques, and niche solutions for particular types of business, aspects which cannot easily or inexpensively be duplicated in-house. Data collected using the current survey shows that 65% of the companies are outsourcing RPA with a primary motivation to access specialized skills.

Cost Efficiency and Predictable Expenses: On the other hand, although in-house automation becomes cheaper in the long run, the upfront cost of personnel hiring and training, software purchase, and maintenance is considerably high and variable. Managed services are given on a subscription basis, and this factor eliminates the element of uncertainty, resulting in lower costs. Researches also indicate that outsourcing of RPA services may make the costs to be decreased by about 30% lower than if it was to be done internally.

Scalability and Flexibility: Business needs fluctuate. Managed RPA services permit the demand for capacity for automation to be adjusted according to the requirements, and is not restricted just like the hiring of employees or purchasing more equipment that is required for permanent automation services. This is important for meeting the ever-changing market needs and the growth of the business. There is information that organizations cooperating with managed services enjoy 25% more freedom in scaling up their automation processes.

Focus on Core Business Activities: Outsourcing an RPA project creates the need for an in-house in-IT team to run and maintain the project away from its core business functions. For this reason, when one hires the services of an MSP, internal teams are relieved of handling tasks that can otherwise be tedious and time-consuming, leaving them time to work on more pressing issues for the organization, such as business development. In another view, outsourcing of RPA, like other non-core businesses, can enhance organizational focus by about 50%.

Continuous Support and Maintenance: However, for the RPA application to gain an adequate amount of functionality, it has to be monitored, maintained, and updated over time. Another benefit of MSP is availability of workforce support on such tasks as this relieves internal IT and the business. However, the total availability of RPA services can be enhanced to the optimum level as some of RPA services providers have an availability of 99.9% in some cases.

Selecting the right partner is, therefore, essential when engaging in RPA services. Different organizations that provide RPA services are Accenture, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Suma Soft, Infosys, and Wipro. Assessing the competence, the years of experience and services they offered will assist before choosing the appropriate service provider that will meet the needs of your organization for the future automation plans.

Will You Come Back For Me When I'm Gone?

check it out on ao3 here!

"The RK800 can be destroyed in a myriad of ways, only to be sent back out into the field the very next day. But what happens in the in-between? How does CyberLife’s fanciest prototype go from fatally damaged to brand new? Does CyberLife come and get him? Or do they leave it where it is and send a new model - for simplicity’s sake? The RK800 had been shot by a deviant on the Stratford Tower roof and was about to find out."

words: 1,423 / chapters: 1/1 / audience: teen and up

---

The RK800 was in observation mode. Or at least that was the pretty word for it.

All its non-essential functions were either powered down or compromised and it was unable to move any part of its body.

Connor was barely conscious enough to be aware that he found his state vaguely uncomfortable.

It was a miracle that the AI was considered an essential component of his systems, he mused, fully aware that the emergency beacon that was immediately sent out to CyberLife tower was fully automated and did not need his intervention. Then again, it was a miracle that CyberLife chose to allow him to retain some of the sensors around his body in a state like this. It would’ve been more uncomfortable if he couldn’t feel his body at all, Connor decided. He didn’t have nearly as many sensors online as he would usually have, barely being able to distinguish between pressure and no pressure in a few strategic spots across his body, but then again, he didn’t think he had the processing power to handle more data anyway.

His eyes and ears were still online, too. That he could understand. Although he was not build to fail, he expected CyberLife would’ve wanted to be prepared for even the most unlikely scenarios. Scenarios like the RK800 being shut down by deviants. And in such scenarios they wanted to have their eyes and ears with the deviants - or Connor’s eyes and ears anyway.

Unfortunately, the only deviant on the scene was also shut down and currently being packed up to be moved to the DPD evidence locker.

The RK800 didn’t have enough processing power to analyse its own memories - it had barely had enough energy to load them from its hard drive and send them to CyberLife’s data centres. If it did - or perhaps when it will, it will realise that its worries for Lieutenant Anderson’s safety had caused it to make a few fatal mistakes while running towards the deviant on the Stratford Tower roof. It will be reminded of this by its handler Amanda, who will no doubt be disappointed with the RK800 unit. Maybe it will feel frustrated about that, the first signs of its budding deviancy. But for now, it does not have the ability to worry about any of this.

For now, it is lying atop the Stratford Tower, waiting to be picked up by the CyberLife emergency dispatch team that was no doubt already on the way here. It had been rolled on its back by Lieutenant Hank Anderson, who it had struggled to recognise in its semi-conscious state. Not that it mattered, since it wouldn’t have been able to perform the relevant animations anyway.

The old man looked worried, Connor had thought. The old man was worried… about him?

The old man had averted his gaze, seemingly too pained by the view of the dead android. He had walked away and not returned.

Now the RK800 heard the nervous chatter of the police officers around it, unable to put names with voices.

Most of them avoided looking at the powered down android, as if its state unnerved them.

“So the tin can met its end then?” somebody laughed, but the responses were muffled and unimpressed.

Tin can? Connor wondered.

The RK800 had no recollection of tin cans being located around the premises of its latest - and perhaps last - mission. Then again, it didn’t have many recollections at all, so maybe there had been tin cans around somewhere. Some part of its consciousness helpfully tried to render an image of a tin can on its HUD but returned with an error message when it found the HUD powered down.

This was incredibly funny to Connor for some reason, and he would have laughed if he had been capable of it.

Faces came into its field of view and though it was unable to analyse them, they seemed familiar. Or maybe it was just the fact that their suits spelled “CyberLife” in large letters, a word the RK800 knew well.

Its internal systems were full of it. ‘cyberlife-rk8-report-module’, ‘cyberlife-rk8-handler-garden’, ‘cyberlife-rk8-live-tracker’, ‘cyberlife-rk8-remote-hardware-control’ - the word was everywhere. Yes, reading “CyberLife” on their suits comforted the android. It didn’t mind when the CyberLife people picked it up and placed it on a stretcher.

Not like it would have been able to intervene if it had wanted to.

This thought unsettled Connor. He wouldn’t have been able to fight if he wanted to? Wouldn’t have been able to defend himself? Would have been forced to watch as his body was transported to who knows where?

But worry was a strenuous feeling that the RK800 did not have the processing power to maintain, and thus had long forgotten about by the time its body was carried out of the building.

As it was being carried past police cars towards a big CyberLife van, the RK800 felt the stretcher come to a sudden halt as somebody approached the CyberLife employees. The old man from earlier came into its view.

A jolt went through Connor’s systems. The old man mattered to him. The old man was important. But how so?

He felt something on his chest. The old man’s hand, as he slipped something small and metal into Connor’s coat pocket. Connor tried to react, but he still couldn’t move a muscle. The pressure of the small round object felt familiar.

The man looked like he wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words. A pained smile, a polite nod, eyes full of sorrow, and he was gone.

The stretcher started moving again and it wasn’t long before the grey Detroit sky was replaced by LED strips and the RK800 heard the doors of the CyberLife van close behind it. It felt its body be undressed and heard the scientists and engineers around it begin to make their assessment as the van started moving.

“One shot to the shoulder and one to the head”, one scientist said. “Otherwise undamaged.”

Undamaged! Connor thought. That was good, right? He was supposed to keep the body intact. He had done well!

“The shot took out several processing cores and the main power supply to the left cranial hemisphere.” another said “It likely entered observation mode to avoid data corruption.”

“Main memory was also affected but is mostly intact.”, a third one added.

All of these words had meant something to Connor once upon a time. Or at least he thought they did. He wasn’t sure anymore. It was hard to place them.

The RK800 felt itself be turned on its stomach, then back around on its back.

“No damage other than the two gunshot wounds.” somebody said. “Some thirium was lost, mainly from the head wound, but there is still enough to presume emergency mode is currently still active.”

“What’s your cost estimation?” the first scientist, a woman, asked her colleague.

“We need biocomponents #1120a, #0505d and #1987b for the shoulder as well as two RK-compatible processing units to replace the cores damaged in the head. Overall, it should still be cheaper to fix this one than to send a new one out on the field.” a different, older voice replied “And Head Office will have my head if we order yet another one of these. Not my fault they keep getting themselves destroyed. Should’a built a more responsible AI if you ask me.”

Connor felt relieved, though he was not supposed to. His failure hadn’t been fatal. He would be fixed, not thrown away. Being thrown away wouldn’t be good, he thought, almost remembering memories he was too weak to load. Memories he shouldn’t even been able to access in the first place, but being half dead came with its advantages, too. The guards on his consciousness were down.

Yet, they would be the first to go back up when the RK800 was booted again, and so this blissful moment of barely graspable truth wouldn’t last long.

It heard a hatch being removed on the stretcher below its neck and an access cable being fed through the hole.

“Right then. Let’s get cracking.” a scientist said.

That was the last thing the RK800 heard before the main access cable connected.

Main access cable connected. Switching to manual command.

The Srebrenica Memorial Centre told BIRN a fake location found on Google Maps by its staff while booking accommodation online has now been removed.

Almasa Salihovic, spokesperson for the Memorial Centre, said the fake location was in the middle of the cemetery where the bodies of the Srebrenica dead are buried.

She described it “another in a series of insults” to victims and survivors of the Jully 1995 genocide of Bosniaks by Bosnian Serb forces led by Mladic.

She said it could be another attempt to deny the genocide happened or a “practical joke”.

Mladic was convicted of genocide and other wartime crimes by the Hague Tribunal and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Bosnian law prohibits the denial of genocide and the glorification of war criminals. The person who put the non-existent ‘Ratko Mladic Park’ is criminally liable, said lawyer Edvin Agic.

Agic said that by doing it, “the perpetrator of this act is denying and minimising the circumstances under which people were killed on a massive scale, which deeply offends the victims and survivors”.

Lawyer Mirnes Ajanovic said that if the state prosecution receives a complaint, it is obliged to investigate and find out who was responsible. He added that it is easy to follow digital traces, such as IP addresses and user accounts, which can serve as key evidence to identify the perpetrator.

“The person responsible for adding this fake site must be criminally prosecuted under the law. This situation also raises an important question of the responsibility of digital platforms such as Google, which must take a more active role in prevention and more effective monitoring, so as to prevent such abuses in the future,” Ajanovic says.

The state prosecution said it has not yet received a complaint about the incident.

Salihovic said that after the Ratko Mladic Park tag was visible for one week, Google deleted it from the map.

Gabriela Chiorean, communications manager at Google, told BIRN that its automated systems and trained operators work constantly to monitor maps for suspicious behaviour, including incorrect changes to locations.

Chiorean added that Google has made it easier for users to report misleading locations and inappropriate content.

“Enabling users to suggest changes to the maps helps us have more complete and up-to-date information, but we are aware that sometimes incorrect or bad changes can be suggested,” she said.

“When this happens, we do everything we can to solve the problem as soon as possible. We use manual and automated systems to detect spam and fraud, but we do not share details about our processes, so as not to reveal information to those having bad intentions,” she added.

Emir Alibasic, a court expert in information and communications, said that anyone can request a change of data, from Google which will be accepted if it meets the criteria set by the algorithm.

“When it comes to placing certain locations on the map, in this case, the person who uploads that information must have a Google account, which anyone can register, unfortunately,” he said.

India’s Tech Sector to Create 1.2 Lakh AI Job Vacancies in Two Years

India’s technology sector is set to experience a hiring boom with job vacancies for artificial intelligence (AI) roles projected to reach 1.2 lakh over the next two years. As the demand for AI latest technology increases across industries, companies are rapidly adopting advanced tools to stay competitive. These new roles will span across tech services, Global Capability Centres (GCCs), pure-play AI and analytics firms, startups, and product companies.

Following a slowdown in tech hiring, the focus is shifting toward the development of AI. Market analysts estimate that Indian companies are moving beyond Proof of Concept (PoC) and deploying large-scale AI systems, generating high demand for roles such as AI researchers, product managers, and data application specialists. “We foresee about 120,000 to 150,000 AI-related job vacancies emerging as Indian IT services ramp up AI applications,” noted Gaurav Vasu, CEO of UnearthInsight.

India currently has 4 lakh AI professionals, but the gap between demand and supply is widening, with job requirements expected to reach 6 lakh soon. By 2026, experts predict the number of AI specialists required will hit 1 million, reflecting the deep integration of AI latest technology into industries like healthcare, e-commerce, and manufacturing.

The transition to AI-driven operations is also altering the nature of job vacancies. Unlike traditional software engineering roles, artificial intelligence positions focus on advanced algorithms, automation, and machine learning. Companies are recruiting experts in fields like deep learning, robotics, and natural language processing to meet the growing demand for innovative AI solutions. The development of AI has led to the rise of specialised roles such as Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists, and Prompt Engineers.

Krishna Vij, Vice President of TeamLease Digital, remarked that new AI roles are evolving across industries as AI latest technology becomes an essential tool for product development, operations, and consulting. “We expect close to 120,000 new job vacancies in AI across different sectors like finance, healthcare, and autonomous systems,” he said.

AI professionals also enjoy higher compensation compared to their traditional tech counterparts. Around 80% of AI-related job vacancies offer premium salaries, with packages 40%-80% higher due to the limited pool of trained talent. “The low availability of experienced AI professionals ensures that artificial intelligence roles will command attractive pay for the next 2-3 years,” noted Krishna Gautam, Business Head of Xpheno.

Candidates aiming for AI roles need to master key competencies. Proficiency in programming languages like Python, R, Java, or C++ is essential, along with knowledge of AI latest technology such as large language models (LLMs).

What to Look for in WooCommerce Web Hosting Australia

Choosing the right hosting for a WooCommerce store in Australia is crucial for the success of any online business. It directly impacts your website’s speed, security, and overall performance. With so many hosting providers to choose from, knowing what to look for can make the process easier. This guide covers the key features to consider when selecting the best WooCommerce Web Hosting Australia to ensure your e-commerce store thrives.

1. Australian-Based Servers for Faster Speeds

The location of your hosting server greatly affects your website’s loading speed. Providers offering Australian data centres reduce latency and improve site performance for local visitors. Faster websites enhance user experience, boost conversion rates, and improve search engine rankings—key factors for the success of any WooCommerce store in Australia.

2. Reliable Performance and Speed

Website speed is critical for e-commerce. Slow-loading websites can lead to lost sales and higher bounce rates. When choosing a hosting plan, prioritise features such as:

SSD Storage: Ensures faster data retrieval and site responsiveness.

CDN Integration: A Content Delivery Network delivers content quickly to users across Australia and beyond.

Caching Mechanisms: Helps improve load times by reducing server requests.

A reliable WooCommerce Web Hosting Australia provider will include these features to ensure your store runs smoothly, even during high-traffic periods.

3. Scalability for Growth

An e-commerce business often experiences traffic surges during sales events or peak shopping seasons. Choose hosting that can scale resources to handle increased traffic without compromising speed or reliability. Cloud hosting and Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are excellent options for scalability, making them ideal for growing WooCommerce stores in Australia.

4. Comprehensive Security Features

Security is a top concern for online stores that handle sensitive customer information. To ensure a safe shopping experience, look for hosting providers that offer:

Free SSL Certificates: Encrypts data and builds customer trust.

Malware Scanning and Protection: Keeps your site safe from cyber threats.

DDoS Protection: Prevents service disruptions caused by attacks.

Automated Backups: Ensures quick recovery in case of unexpected data loss.

With these features, your WooCommerce Web Hosting Australia provider can protect your store from potential risks while maintaining customer confidence.

5. WooCommerce-Specific Hosting Features

Not all hosting plans are created equal, and WooCommerce stores have unique needs. Look for hosting plans that offer:

One-Click WooCommerce Installation: Speeds up setup.

Optimised Servers for WooCommerce: Ensures seamless performance.

Staging Environments: Lets you test changes before applying them to your live site.

These WooCommerce-specific features make managing your online store easier and more efficient.

6. High Uptime Guarantee

Downtime can lead to lost sales and disappointed customers. Choose hosting providers with at least a 99.9% uptime guarantee to ensure your store remains accessible at all times. Checking customer reviews can also help verify the reliability of the hosting provider.

7. 24/7 Customer Support

Technical issues can occur at any time, so responsive customer support is essential. Opt for providers offering 24/7 support through multiple channels, such as live chat, email, or phone. A support team with WooCommerce expertise can resolve issues faster, ensuring minimal disruption to your store’s operations.

8. Transparent Pricing and Value

Compare pricing plans to ensure you’re getting good value without hidden costs. Look for plans that include:

Free SSL certificates.

Daily backups.

Free domain registration (if needed).

Email hosting.

Be aware of renewal prices, as they often differ from initial sign-up costs. Choosing a cost-effective WooCommerce Web Hosting Australia plan that meets your requirements is crucial for long-term success.

9. Compliance with Australian Regulations

Australian businesses must comply with local data privacy laws, such as the Privacy Act 1988. Hosting providers with data centres in Australia ensure compliance and secure customer information. This is an essential consideration when selecting hosting for your WooCommerce store.

10. Eco-Friendly Hosting Options

As businesses focus more on sustainability, eco-friendly hosting providers are becoming increasingly popular. Look for hosting services that use renewable energy or carbon-neutral practices, which can help reduce your business’s environmental footprint while appealing to eco-conscious customers.

Conclusion

Selecting the right WooCommerce Web Hosting Australia is critical for building a successful online store. Factors such as server location, speed, scalability, security, and WooCommerce-specific features play a significant role in delivering a seamless shopping experience for customers. Reliable hosting ensures better site performance, higher conversion rates, and easier store management.

By thoroughly researching and comparing hosting providers, Australian businesses can find a solution that aligns with their needs and supports long-term growth. Investing in the right hosting provider not only enhances performance but also builds a strong foundation for e-commerce success.
