In a sunlight-filled classroom at the US State Department’s diplomacy school in late February, America’s cyber ambassador fielded urgent questions from US diplomats who were spending the week learning about the dizzying technological forces shaping their missions.

“This portfolio is one of the most interesting and perhaps the most consequential at this moment in time,” Nathaniel Fick, the US ambassador-at-large for cyberspace and digital policy, told the roughly three dozen diplomats assembled before him at the Foreign Service Institute in Arlington, Virginia. “Getting smart on these issues … is going to serve everyone really well over the long term, regardless of what other things you go off and do.”

The diplomats, who had come from overseas embassies and from State Department headquarters in nearby Washington, DC, were the sixth cohort of students to undergo a crash course in cybersecurity, telecommunications, privacy, surveillance, and other digital issues, which Fick’s team created in late 2022. The training program—the biggest initiative yet undertaken by State’s two-year-old cyber bureau—is intended to reinvigorate US digital diplomacy at a time when adversaries like Russia and China are increasingly trying to shape how the world uses technology.

During his conversation with the students, Fick discussed the myriad of tech and cyber challenges facing US diplomats. He told a staffer from an embassy in a country under China’s influence to play the long game in forming relationships that could eventually help the US make inroads there. He spoke about his efforts to help European telecom companies survive existential threats from Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei in the battle for the world’s 5G networks. And he warned of a difficult balancing act on AI, saying the US needed to stave off excessive regulation at the UN without repeating past mistakes.

“We really screwed up governance of the previous generation of tech platforms, particularly the social [media] platforms,” Fick said. “The US essentially unleashed on the world the most powerful anti-democratic tools in the history of humanity, and now we’re digging our way out of a credibility hole.”

Restoring that credibility and expanding American influence over digital issues will require tech-savvy diplomacy, and the State Department is counting on Fick’s training program to make that possible. To pull back the curtain on this program for the first time, WIRED received exclusive access to the February training session and interviewed Fick, the initiative’s lead organizer, five graduates of the course, and multiple cyber diplomacy experts about how the program is trying to transform American tech diplomacy.

Fick has called the training program the most important part of his job. As he tells anyone who will listen, it’s a project with existential stakes for the future of the open internet and the free world.

“Technology as a source of influence is increasingly foundational,” he says. “These things are more and more central to our foreign policy, and that’s a trend that is long-term and unlikely to change anytime soon.”

Maintaining an Edge

From Russian election interference to Chinese industrial dominance, the US faces a panoply of digital threats. Fighting back will require skillful diplomatic pressure campaigns on every level, from bilateral talks with individual countries to sweeping appeals before the 193-member United Nations. But this kind of work is only possible when the career Foreign Service officers on the front lines of US diplomacy understand why tech and cyber issues matter—and how to discuss them.

“The US needs to demonstrate both understanding and leadership on the global stage,” says Chris Painter, who served as the first US cyber ambassador from 2011 to 2017.

This leadership is important on high-profile subjects like artificial intelligence and the 5G war between Western and Chinese vendors, but it’s equally vital on the bread-and-butter digital issues—like basic internet connectivity and fighting cybercrime—that don’t generate headlines but still dominate many countries’ diplomatic engagements with the US.

Diplomats also need to be able to identify digital shortcomings and security gaps in their host countries that the US could help fix. The success of the State Department’s new cyber foreign aid fund will depend heavily on project suggestions from tech-savvy diplomats on the ground.

In addition, because virtually every global challenge—from trade to climate—has a tech aspect, all US diplomats need to be conversant in the topic. “You’re going to have meetings where a country is talking about a trade import issue or complaining about a climate problem, and suddenly there’s a tech connection,” says Justin Sherman, a tech and geopolitics expert who runs Global Cyber Strategies, a Washington, DC, research and advisory firm.

Digital expertise will also help the US expand coalitions around cybercrime investigations, ransomware deterrence, and safe uses of the internet—all essentially proxy fights with Russia and China.

“We are in competition with the authoritarian states on everything from internet standards … to basic governance rules,” says Neil Hop, a senior adviser to Fick and the lead organizer of the training program. “We are going to find ourselves at a sore disadvantage if we don't have trained people who are representing [us].”

Diplomats without tech training might not even realize when their Russian and Chinese counterparts are using oblique rhetoric to pitch persuadable countries on their illiberal visions of internet governance, with rampant censorship and surveillance. Diplomats with tech training would be able to push back, using language and examples designed to appeal to those middle-ground countries and sway them away from the authoritarians’ clutches.

“Our competitors and our adversaries are upping their game in these areas,” Fick says, “because they understand as well as we do what’s at stake.”

Preparing America’s Eyes and Ears

The Obama administration was the first to create a tech diplomacy training program, with initial training sessions in various regions followed by week-long courses that brought trainees to Washington. Government speakers and tech-industry luminaries like internet cocreator Vint Cerf discussed the technological, social, and political dimensions of the digital issues that diplomats had to discuss with their host governments.

“The idea was to create this cadre in the Foreign Service to work with our office and really mainstream this as a topic,” says Painter, who created the program when he was State’s coordinator for cyber issues, the predecessor to Fick’s role.

But when Painter tried to institutionalize his program with a course at the Foreign Service Institute, he encountered resistance. “I think we kind of hit it too early for FSI,” he says. “I remember the FSI director saying that they thought, ‘Well, maybe this is just a passing fad.’ It was a new topic. This is what happens with any new topic.”

By the time the Senate unanimously confirmed Nate Fick to be America’s cyber ambassador in September 2022, tech diplomacy headaches were impossible to ignore, and Fick quickly tasked his team with creating a modern training program and embedding it in the FSI’s regular curriculum.

“He understood that we needed to do more and better in terms of preparing our people in the field,” Hop says.

The training program fit neatly into secretary of state Antony Blinken’s vision of an American diplomatic corps fully versed in modern challenges and nimble enough to confront them. “Elevating our tech diplomacy” is one of Blinken’s “core priorities,” Fick says.

As they developed a curriculum, Fick and his aides had several big goals for the new training program.

The first priority was to make sure diplomats understood what was at stake as the US and its rivals compete for global preeminence on tech issues. “Authoritarian states and other actors have used cyber and digital tools to threaten national security, international peace and security, economic prosperity, [and] the exercise of human rights,” says Kathryn Fitrell, a senior cyber policy adviser at State who helps run the course.

Equally critical was preparing diplomats to promote the US tech agenda from their embassies and provide detailed reports back to Washington on how their host governments were approaching these issues.

“It's important to us that tech expertise [in] the department not sit at headquarters alone,” Fick says, “but instead that we have people everywhere—at all our posts around the world, where the real work gets done—who are equipped with the tools that they need to make decisions with a fair degree of autonomy.”

Foreign Service officers are America’s eyes and ears on the ground in foreign countries, studying the landscape and alerting their bosses back home to risks and opportunities. They are also the US government’s most direct and regular interlocutors with representatives of other nations, forming personal bonds with local officials that can sometimes make the difference between unity and discord.

When these diplomats need to discuss the US tech agenda, they can’t just read monotonously off a piece of paper. They need to actually understand the positions they’re presenting and be prepared to answer questions about them.

“You can’t be calling back to someone in Washington every time there’s a cyber question,” says Sherman.

But some issues will still require help from experts at headquarters, so Fick and his team also wanted to use the course to deepen their ties with diplomats and give them friendly points of contact at the cyber bureau. “We want to be able to support officers in the field as they confront these issues,” says Melanie Kaplan, a member of Fick’s team who took the class and now helps run it.

Inside the Classroom

After months of research, planning, and scheduling, Fick’s team launched the Cyberspace and Digital Policy Tradecraft course at the Foreign Service Institute with a test run in November 2022. Since then, FSI has taught the class six more times—once in London for European diplomats, once in Morocco for diplomats in the Middle East and Africa, and four times in Arlington—and trained 180 diplomats.

The program begins with four hours of “pre-work” to prepare students for the lessons ahead. Students must document that they’ve completed the pre-work—which includes experimenting with generative AI—before taking the class. “That has really put us light-years ahead in ensuring that no one is lost on day one,” Hop says.

The week-long in-person class consists of 45- to 90-minute sessions on topics like internet freedom, privacy, ransomware, 5G, and AI. Diplomats learn how the internet works on a technical level, how the military and the FBI coordinate with foreign partners to take down hackers’ computer networks, and how the US promotes its tech agenda in venues like the International Telecommunication Union. Participants also meet with Fick and his top deputies, including Eileen Donahoe, the department’s special envoy for digital freedom.

One session features a panel of US diplomats who have helped their host governments confront big cyberattacks. “They woke up one morning and suddenly were in this position of having to respond to a major crisis,” says Meir Walters, a training alum who leads the digital-freedom team in State’s cyber bureau.

Students learn how the US helped Albania and Costa Rica respond to massive cyberattacks in 2022 perpetrated by the Iranian government and Russian cybercriminals, respectively. In Albania, urgent warnings from a young, tech-savvy US diplomat “accelerated our response to the Iranian attack by months,” Fick says. In Costa Rica, diplomats helped the government implement emergency US aid and then used those relationships to turn the country into a key semiconductor manufacturing partner.

“By having the right people on the ground,” Fick says, “we were able to seize these significant opportunities.”

Students spend one day on a field trip, with past visits including the US Chamber of Commerce (to understand industry’s role in tech diplomacy), the Center for Democracy and Technology (to understand civil society’s perspective on digital-rights issues), and the internet infrastructure giant Verisign.

On the final day, participants must pitch ideas for using what they’ve learned in a practical way to Jennifer Bachus, the cyber bureau’s number two official.

The course has proven to be highly popular. Fick told participants in February that “there was a long wait list” to get in. There will be at least three more sessions this year: one in Arlington in August (timed to coincide with the diplomatic rotation period), one in East Asia, and one in Latin America. These sessions are expected to train 75 to 85 new diplomats.

After the course ends, alumni can stay up-to-date with a newsletter, a Microsoft Teams channel, and a toolkit with advice and guidance. Some continue their education: Fifty diplomats are getting extra training through a one-year online learning pilot, and State is accepting applications for 15 placements at leading academic institutions and think tanks—including Stanford University and the Council on Foreign Relations—where diplomats can continue researching tech issues that interest them.

Promising Results, Challenges Ahead

Less than two years into the training effort, officials say they are already seeing meaningful improvements to the US’s tech diplomacy posture.

Diplomats are sending Washington more reports on their host governments’ tech agendas, Fitrell says, with more details and better analysis. Graduates of the course also ask more questions than their untrained peers. And inspired by the training, some diplomats have pushed their bosses to prioritize tech issues, including through embassy working groups uniting representatives of different US agencies.

State has also seen more diplomats request high-level meetings with foreign counterparts to discuss tech issues and more incorporation of those issues into broader conversations. Fick says the course helped the cyber officer at the US embassy in Nairobi play an integral role in recent tech agreements between the US and Kenya. And diplomats are putting more energy into whipping votes for international tech agreements, including an AI resolution at the UN.

Diplomats who took the course shared overwhelmingly positive feedback with WIRED. They say it was taught in an accessible way and covered important topics. Several say they appreciated hearing from senior US officials whose strategizing informs diplomats’ on-the-ground priorities. Maryum Saifee, a senior adviser for digital governance at State’s cyber bureau and a training alum, says she appreciated the Morocco class’s focus on regional issues and its inclusion of locally employed staff.

Graduates strongly encouraged their colleagues to take the course, describing it as foundational to every diplomatic portfolio.

“Even if you're not a techie kind of a person, you need to not shy away from these conversations,” says Bridget Trazoff, a veteran diplomat who has learned four languages at the Foreign Service Institute and compares the training to learning a fifth one.

Painter, who knows how challenging it can be to create a program like this, says he’s “heard good things” about the course. “I’m very happy that they've redoubled their efforts in this.”

For the training program to achieve lasting success, its organizers will need to overcome several hurdles.

Fick’s team will need to keep the course material up-to-date as the tech landscape evolves. They’ll need to keep it accessible but also informative to diplomats with varying tech proficiencies who work in countries with varying levels of tech capacity. And they’ll need to maintain a constant training tempo, given that diplomats rotate positions every few years.

The tone of the curriculum also presents a challenge. Diplomats need to learn the US position on issues like trusted telecom infrastructure, but they also need to understand that not every country sees things the way the US does. “It's not just knowing about these tech issues that’s so essential,” Sherman says. “It's also understanding the whole dictionary of terms and how every country thinks about these concepts differently.”

The coming years could test the course’s impact as the US strives to protect its Eastern European partners from Russia, its East Asian partners from China and North Korea, and its Middle Eastern partners from Iran, as well as to counter Chinese tech supremacy and neutralize Russia’s and China’s digital authoritarianism.

Perhaps the biggest question facing the program is whether it will survive a possible change in administrations this fall. Officials are optimistic—Fick has talked to his Trump-era counterparts, and Painter says “having an FSI course gives it a sense of permanence.”

For Fick, there is no question that the training must continue.

“Tech is interwoven into every aspect of … American foreign policy,” he says. “If you want to position yourself to be effective and be relevant as an American diplomat in the decades ahead, you need to understand these issues.”

How do *you* feel about the Activision-Microsoft merger?

Mergers and acquisitions are normal in business. Over the course of my career, I've seen several large industry publishers merge or acquire other publishers, and dozens of independent studios get purchased by publishers.

Sega merged with Sammy Corp. in 2004 to form Sega-Sammy. Later they bought Atlus.

EA merged with Pandemic Studios + Bioware in 2007

Bandai and Namco merged in 2007

Activision merged with Vivendi Universal's games division in 2008 to form Activision-Blizzard

Bungie was purchased by Microsoft in 2000, bought itself out to go independent again in 2007, and was recently acquired by Sony in 2022.

Activision-Blizzard merged with King in 2015

Microsoft acquired ZeniMax in 2020

EA acquired Glu Mobile in 2021

Embracer Group bought Gearbox in 2021

Take Two bought Zynga in 2022

These kinds of behaviors are fairly normal in any major industry. Smaller companies fall on hard times and a larger company offers a rescue. Old leadership grows weary of running the company and someone offers them a big payday. Two like-minded sets of leadership decide that they would work better together.

In my opinion, the danger comes when too much consolidation happens and, instead of a market with plenty of competition, you end up with a cartel. It's not quite a monopoly with a single controlling company, but it's pretty close - a cartel is a handful of enormous organizations/companies that control the vast majority of the market and collude with each other in order to keep competition down and enrich themselves. In such a situation, they don't have to compete as hard anymore because they can take turns and help each other out. Any rising competition either gets bought or sabotaged by the combined might of the cartel.

Usually this happens because the cost for entering the market is really high - it's really risky to take that chance to compete with the cartel, which makes the newcomers much more vulnerable to cartel countermeasures. You can see this kind of corporate nonsense at work in many fields here in the US - there are only a handful of telecom companies, internet service providers, meat packing companies, train companies, cloud computing services, and so on. A big sign you're dealing with a cartel is when there aren't many options and none of them are particularly appealing.

I don't think that's happened in video games yet - we still have large independent publishers like Take Two, Steam, and EA, and we have medium-sized independent publishers like Capcom, Sega-Sammy, Bandai-Namco, Epic, and so on. But if the mega-corps keep buying up the bigger publishers, we'll probably end up in cartel territory and everything will suck.

A trip to Yokosuka

Despite the closeness to the city, Bremerton always found Yokosuka to be remarkably peaceful.

A coastal city that, much like Tokyo, was near to the infamous Mt Fuji like a silent sentinel that watched time pass. It was a beautiful reminder of the lush richness of these lands. It was something Bremerton had always admired in her time in Japan and that was the beauty of the land. Even now when she was travelling, taking the various trains and boats needed from her northern base towards Toyko and then to Yokosuka, she had seen much to admire and find comfort in. From nature to the city, Japan was certainly different. It felt so aged, a land shaped so much differently than her homeland of the USA. She found the USA to be beautiful too. It was too vast NOT to consider that but Japan’s country felt so much different. It felt much more like home in these hills and forests. Everything felt drenched in history and reverence. That nature lived here and was treated as part of the place. There was never, in her mind, that same separation in which she felt the USA had. Not where she had been anyways.

Despite the closeness, Bremerton had never been to MT Jufi. She had always wanted to go but with her work and other duties, it never seemed like the right enough time. It was just too far to justify a trip out there with the limited time she had when she visited Yokosuka. Friends had wanted to go too but it never felt right to go without them. They’d of love to see the view from up there as much as she would of. It wouldn’t be the same to go without them! Still, there was much to do around the city itself and that was more than enough. Comfort was in those familiar routes in which she walked. It was why she always got off a few stops later instead of where would be most efficient. Bremerton assumed it must have been weird that she was so fond of the nature of this land. Most probably assumed she thought little of it and there was truth to that. Bremerton had felt that way when she first arrived. Now she often felt her mind think on what she had seen here, distracting her. Nature comforted her and kept her grounded even if friends, colleagues and companions often thought her head to be in the clouds. As high as Mt Fuji, perhaps.

Yokosuka was a populated place but in an era of post-growth, she felt. It lacked the rush of Tokyo, in a sense. It felt a little lazier here. Paced differently even with the remaining industry of Nissan and various telecoms that kept a steady workforce engaged as well as the typical tourists who ventured out this far. Even with the various nationalities that populated the streets. It was quite common to see among the Japanese streets those from Chinese, Filipino and of course, American. That last one being due to the US naval base that was here.

That was her destination but she had gotten off at Keikyu-Kurihama Station. It only added a short walk and these streets were known to Bremerton after all. She earned a few looks but that was common for her. Though, she expected it was more from how odd she might of looked than from the typical enthralled stares towards her hips or chest as was often the case. Bremerton could handle those, they were often what she dealt with. This was as if she was out of place. Which she was, thinking about it. It was rare that Bremerton ever put on her uniform. Professional white slacks and fastened jacket, insignia and cap. Most probably struggled to see this pinkette with youth and curvy body being of an officer rank. Captain Bremerton Batlimore, as she was officially known. Terrible name really but again, she didn’t pick it. It’s why she hardly mentioned it to her new base that she was given such a rank and name.

There she was Bremmy. Bwemmy. Brem. The carefree pacifistic lovable gyaru that people liked and loved among friends and more. Her rank had never been mentioned outside a few circles and it was something she chose not to disclose to those who didn’t ask or inquire. With the rules of the base having allowing casual attire, it had been easy for her to hide her rank and she was not one, not there, to make mention of it.  Though she did appreciate those like Nagato and even Nozomi had been accepting enough to allow her to be who she wanted to be.

A hand tugged at the bottom of her fastened jacket and another altered her cap. Her hair was let loose. A small rebellion against having it cut or fastened was to let the pink length of her hair cascade down her back. It contrasted against the white starkly. The whole attire was a little snug too. Perhaps she had eaten a little too much prior to coming out this way. She never liked getting it refitted and the cost was always just a little too much. It wasn’t as if this was an official matter that required her to look the part properly. This was done on her own holiday time, her own vacation. Bremerton Baltimore, Captain of the US Navy was not here either then really. Still, it was important to dress the part of her rank. Ignoring those eyes upon her, she walked quickly with the heel of her dress shoes clicking firmly against the stone of the pavement. There was, of course, a bounce to her chest and a sway of her hips. Where it often enticed, now it was just contained enough to give an aura of purpose that kept people out of her direct path.

Her first stop was Kano Shrine. A small shrine, dedicated to a local guardian deity which was Hachiman, the God of War. Shipgirls tended to often ignore shrines or avoid them. Spiritual energies and stuff tended to be enough to ward them away given their own nature of creations. Bremerton, admittedly, did not understand it. She was, of course, mindful that just because she didn’t understand it didn’t mean there was no dangers to her. It might actually explain why lingering too long started to make her feel light-headed and nauseous. Still, it was a beautiful little shrine and a place that felt right to come too. A way to pay respects in a formal manner that appeased her mind.

Ironic for a pacifist to give respects to a war god. It wasn’t lost of the gyaru, that was for sure. Clapping her hands under the torii gate and then removing her cap, she passing through with only a mild sense of sudden vertigo. She walked up the steps and went through the typical motions of offering some coins and making a prayer, cap under her arm. A swift and practised motion, she privately left her thoughts to those she had served with and those who continued to fight. She wished for them to be safe and that they would only raise their arms in dire need. To be idle against violence was no pacifistic but foolish. It was perhaps not the typical viewpoint and Bremerton knew that violence only beget more violence but in her time, she had come to view inaction to be just as bad if used poorly. It was more about why and when you should act than to be ignore those who’d seek to harm.

Her thoughts and prays done, she departed the shrine steadily. Not rushing as to be rude but to politely make her way beyond the threshold and back to the mortal realm. She had been told on earlier trips that the Torii was more than just a structure but the threshold in which the divine and the mortal were. To pass was to enter another realm and thus respect was to be given. It had stuck with her, remaining a little fact she liked to share or surprise others with. Despite not being of this land, she felt that the customs made sense and that even an outsider such as herself could be welcomed. It was a small thing and perhaps silly too but for Bremerton, it felt good to do so.

Passing through back to the mortal side, she could feel herself settle again. A wash of light-headedness struck her but a moment to collect herself was all she needed. Fixing her cap back to her head she decided to head to the shoreline.

While there was the odd section of beach in Yokosuka, most of it was developed upon. Bremerton assumed it had something to do with how important the coast was to the Japanese. Limited space tended to make people use what they had more efficiently  too. Of course, she wasn’t sure and if asked, probably would just reply with a simple ‘I dunno!’ which… well… she didn’t know. Still, she thought about it. Bremerton might not seem like a girl with thoughts but she did think. Bremerton was a girl who thought simple and plain but she did think. Not on the big stuff, not on the confusing things that some she had met did but on the things that interested her… Like the importance of an esplanade.

Needless to say, that was her current pathway. The sounds of the coastline was different to that of the sea and the base. Here there was activity, a buzz that was lacking in the professional nature of the base or the open ocean. There was the typical sounds of water, the shimmering of light upon the surface but there was boats drifting lazily, buoys that bobbed and bounced with the waves, people living real and true lives. The sights remained the same as ever. The rushing sound of cars passing, the idle chatter of people, the odd phrase reaching her. Strange how some words could rise above the chatter, catch her ears over that of another. Another thing that always surprised her. It was why she always listened out, always gave her attention solely on another. It was overwhelming to take this all in and it always had been for Bremerton. All her friends had said so to her. ‘Typical Bremerton! Lost in the clouds! Relax! Enjoy the now!’ they’d say!

 It was not like in combat. Back in her deployment days, she could focus. Under the demands of duty, her attention could be funnelled. Pressure did that to her. Free as she was now, she devoted that sense of professional duty to those she spent her time with….

She blinked twice. Distracted again. Her thoughts had gone in another odd direction. Back to the area around her….

The sights of adverts and places of work, dashing with colour as they attempted to allure the gaze, working well on Bremerton as she looked about, drinking it in. As others looked upon her, she looked around herself. From stores that proclaimed goods and sales, stalls for food, places to eat which smells mixed with the lingering salty ocean that blew gently along the breeze. A soft sigh escaped her, allowing herself to bask in that moment as she just sauntered along. Alone with her simple thoughts as she soon reached the base itself.

It was quite a large base. An expansive region that seemed to be more US than it did Japan if you wandered around it. Bremerton had been around enough times, having served here before her allocation to Admiral Nozomi’s base. Both were quite large expanses but this one was more developed. It was like the US had made a mini-version of itself and passing through the gates, she felt as if she has transported from that beautiful historical nation to a realm where the idea of military and American ruled. It was an odd feeling and one that, over the years and trips back here, Bremerton had found was less and less like home. It felt alien to her as she walked along the roads. It was developed for those who served here. All was provided. Restaurants, schools, fire service, police and so forth. While Nozomi’s base had slowly become something that did the same, with the girls branching out to provide the demands of service, this felt different. Both made it so the base never had to be left, if one desired it.

Yet this one had grown… weird. Sterile and stagnant. Empty of the spark it once held for her. It felt wrong to the American warship. There was many shipgirls here, many of the US types, some of the other AL Models too. A few Japanese ships were stationed around. She had seen an Akigumo here who was known for painting wonderful watercolours of the oceans once before she had been relocated. There was a Colorado here too if memory served right…

Memories bubbled up in her mind. It was strange how she could recall the faces and names of some of the girls and others she could only get one bit of information of. Girls who existed in two places now, her thoughts and the memorials. Girls who had names stated but only those who spent time with them knew them. Knowing so many wonderful and capable girls here, now lost to the demands of wartime and the grinder of survival. Abyssals were never so close as the Tokyo and arguably, this was a region that knew a degree of peace thanks to that. It was often a training spot for girls like her, Americans who’d soon be sent to the bases that needed them.

Or in her case, to get them out of the way.

She found herself sighing at that. She had been a good soldier, a good warrior and yet when she protested and objected to violence, sick of the deaths, wishing to be more… The Navy had not seen fit to demote her but instead had her to the Japanese Navy, rank intact and sent off somewhere to be forgotten about. That’s how she saw it but even to this day, she was unsure about that version of events but even so, it had been advised to accept it. So the simple girl had and stuck to the simple story. It made enough sense to her, even if questions lurked. Not that answers would come…. They never came and she would never inquire about them….

Memories bubbled up in her mind but she kept on walking. Places she knew, places she had spent time, joyful in her younger days of service. Her thoughts had roamed and travelled again. It annoyed her how she couldn’t ever focus too much. Her mind liked to go off, to follow routes and yet it could never articulate them. Never say them aloud in a way that made sense like it had in her head. At first she had always thought it was normal before seeing how some of the shipgirls and humans could just speak flawlessly. However, cursed as she seemed to be, even that could drift her thoughts off. Glaze her over as these new ideas populated her mind. Maybe she was just an idiot as people thought her to be, as she thought herself to be.

Maybe that was okay too. That was her after all. Bremerton liked herself. Even what annoyed her was still her. People liked her for who she was, the entirity of her. That was enough.

She attempted to greet some of the wandering shipgirls though she really only got salutes and confusion. It took Bremerton a moment to notice she was speaking Japanese. These girls, Americans, had clearly not even picked up the basics. Perhaps new or just stuck on the base, they seemed to be more in surprise at a Bremerton speaking fluent Japanese! Admittedly, Bremerton didn’t see the fuss. It wasn’t that hard to speak it, was it?

“Pardon me… Been on deployment for so long! Hah… heya gals!” She said, her American accent thick. It was weird to speak it again, actually.

A brief conversation passed, a very formal one given her attire and the ranks of these girls. They risked not speaking plaining before a CO, it seemed. That irked Bremerton. That stuffy formalness never sat right with her these days. She had almost forgotten it. Almost. Still, she couldn’t fault them and so didn’t. Captain Bremerton Baltimore wasn’t was casual as Bremmy was…

It didn’t help that loneliness that washed over her. A stranger in a strange land, it felt like. It was almost crippling. A lump in her throat and a wish to turn away, to forsake the reason of her trip. It still hit her how far she was from where she now called her home though...

Reaching her destination, she stood before a small building, a simple block with a few doors by most standards. It was a little out of the way but the place was used for small storage units, each door belonging to a member of the base or so who paid for it. It didn’t really matter. All that mattered was this weird unassuming storage unit box-building still existed. Taking a key from her pocket, she opened the door and slipped inside, shutting it behind her. Flicking the light on, it flickered for a moment before settling into a dull yellow light. It revealed the sparse box of a room. It contained little and with no windows, it felt like a cell. It was clean though, despite the fact it had been left untouched but then again, no-one else would come here. Alone with the short cabinet. She sat herself down, a traditional Japanese Seiza-style. The flooring was tatami mat, thankfully.

Heavily sighing, she withdrew her cap and open up the cabinet. Pulling the doors open, revealed a small raised platform with a framed picture. She stared at it, exhaling steadily as to keep her mind and heart still. Her mind raised, pulling up the bubbles of thoughts that were of those within the picture. Six faces, including Bremerton, looked back at her. Captured in a moment of joy, a banner in the background marking their graduation and thus deployment, they looked at her with joy and delight, eagerness and youth. The beginning of the Baltimore Gals, as they had dubbed themselves after their location of construction.

She took the picture in her hands. Looking at the faces of ghosts.

“Heya everyone… Happy Anniversary… Gl-glad we could all make it...”

Data Science in Fintech Innovations

The intersection of data science and financial technology (fintech) has led to groundbreaking innovations in the financial industry. Data science techniques, such as machine learning, predictive analytics, and natural language processing, are transforming how financial institutions operate, enabling them to provide more personalized services, streamline operations, and mitigate risks. For those aspiring to thrive in this dynamic field, enrolling in a data science course is essential. This blog post explores the role of data science in fintech innovations, highlighting key applications and benefits.

Enhancing Fraud Detection and Prevention

Fraud detection and prevention are paramount in the financial sector, and data science plays a crucial role in identifying and mitigating fraudulent activities. By analyzing transaction data, user behavior, and other relevant factors, data science models can detect anomalies and flag suspicious activities in real-time.

Machine learning algorithms can learn patterns of legitimate transactions and identify deviations that may indicate fraudulent behavior. Additionally, natural language processing techniques can analyze text data to detect fraudulent messages or phishing attempts. Enrolling in a data science training can provide professionals with the skills to develop robust fraud detection systems that protect both financial institutions and their customers.

Personalizing Financial Services

Data science enables financial institutions to deliver personalized services and recommendations to their customers based on their unique financial needs and preferences. By analyzing customer data, such as transaction history, demographics, and browsing behavior, data science models can generate tailored product recommendations and offers.

Banks can use machine learning algorithms to analyze spending patterns and offer personalized budgeting advice or investment suggestions to their customers. This personalized approach enhances customer satisfaction and loyalty. Professionals trained in data science through a comprehensive course can develop and deploy personalized recommendation systems that drive engagement and retention.

Certified Data Scientist (CDS) Program

Improving Credit Risk Assessment

Credit risk assessment is a critical function in the financial industry, and data science has revolutionized how it is performed. By analyzing vast amounts of data, including credit histories, income levels, and demographic information, data science models can accurately assess the creditworthiness of individuals and businesses.

Machine learning algorithms can analyze historical data to predict the likelihood of default or delinquency for a given borrower. This enables lenders to make more informed decisions when granting loans or extending credit lines. Enrolling in a data science certification can provide professionals with the expertise to develop sophisticated credit risk models that improve accuracy and efficiency.

Streamlining Operations with Automation

Data science and automation go hand in hand in the fintech industry, streamlining operations and reducing manual intervention. By automating routine tasks such as data entry, document processing, and customer support, financial institutions can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Natural language processing algorithms can automate the extraction of information from documents such as loan applications or financial statements, speeding up the underwriting process. Similarly, chatbots powered by machine learning can handle customer inquiries and provide assistance round-the-clock. Professionals with expertise in data science, acquired through a comprehensive course, can design and implement automated systems that optimize workflows and enhance productivity.

No Churn Telecom

Enhancing Regulatory Compliance

Regulatory compliance is a top priority for financial institutions, and data science can help ensure adherence to regulatory requirements. By analyzing transaction data and monitoring activities in real-time, data science models can detect potential compliance issues and flag them for further investigation.

Anomaly detection algorithms can identify unusual patterns in transactions that may indicate money laundering or other illicit activities. Additionally, data science techniques such as blockchain analysis can provide transparency and traceability in financial transactions, aiding in compliance efforts. Enrolling in a data science institute can equip professionals with the knowledge and skills to develop compliance monitoring systems that meet regulatory standards.

Data science is driving significant innovations in the fintech industry, enabling enhanced fraud detection and prevention, personalized financial services, improved credit risk assessment, streamlined operations with automation, and enhanced regulatory compliance. For professionals seeking to excel in this rapidly evolving field, enrolling in a best data science institute is indispensable. These courses provide the technical expertise and theoretical knowledge needed to leverage data science effectively in fintech applications.

As fintech continues to reshape the financial landscape, staying updated with the latest data science techniques will be essential for maintaining a competitive edge. By integrating data science into their operations, financial institutions can unlock new opportunities for growth, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. Whether you are an aspiring data scientist or a seasoned fintech professional, a top data science institute can empower you to drive innovation and success in this dynamic industry.
