The global artificial intelligence (AI) market size was valued at USD 20.67 Billion in 2018 is projected to reach USD 202.57 Artificial intelligence is the result of a perfect blend of several technologies leading to the creation of intelligent hardware or software, capable of replicating human behaviors, namely learning and problem-solving. The version of artificial intelligence technology available at present allows machines to complete various human tasks, such as driving automobiles and reacting to their environment, providing virtual assistance, and even playing games. Forms of AI in use today include digital assistants, chatbots and machine learning, among others. AI will facilitate more seamless integration of supply chain data, enabling anticipatory production and efficient delivery of products to customers.

As it turns out, making cars drive themselves may have been the easy part. The hard part is yet to come. Over the past few days, the Financial Times has detailed in two reports how the autonomous vehicle businesses of Silicon Valley are beginning to reckon with a new issue: being functioning businesses. I understand this must be a new and troubling development for any Silicon Valley startup, but here, it sounds like a profound wakeup call. Increasingly, industry insiders recognise that commercialising their technologies may be more difficult than anticipated -- due to questions around "government approval, public trust, brand marketing, the ability to manufacture at scale and the technical knowhow to manage a fleet that competes with the likes of Uber and Lyft on timely pick-ups", Patrick McGee reports in his weekend Big Read.

It is an open directory of AI ecosystem activities, stakeholder information and more that shall foster collaboration between AI practitioners worldwide, provide access to those interested in becoming active in the field of AI, and drive local and global AI agenda development via the necessary input from the grassroots AI community. As of now, we're having 26 cities from already 6 continents unlocked, roughly 500 upcoming events to join, over 1,000 active community groups to engage with, tens of local AI influencers to follow and almost 1,000 startups to discover. The past year, we've seen various ambassadors using the information to bring together local AI stakeholders such as Meetup organizers and other community actors, AI startup founders, data scientists and machine learning engineers from various organziations, AI-related initiative founders and governmental/municipality representatives discussing to develop (a) their local AI ecosystem further and (b) an aligned AI agenda. Our new director Valentina Colombo joined us to facilitate ambassadors and the AI community leveraging the AI Ecosystem Wiki in even more ways. Expect regular newsletters on the global AI ecosystem, progress benchmarks and reports, local AI ecosystem regulars, AI Council support and much more.

The power of artificial intelligence to transform every field it touches is one of the unchallenged truths of our time -- but when it comes to healthcare, the technology's potential is often seen through a western lens. From hopes of faster drug discovery to systems that will help people manage chronic diseases better, the emphasis is frequently on how it can support, or otherwise make life easier, for those in the developed world. But attention is increasingly turning to how AI can address the pressing problems of poorer nations as they seek to move towards universal health coverage. In some cases, these are challenges that are distinct to the global south, but in others the problems faced in developing regions are to some extent shared by patients, physicians and payers across the globe. The Lancet's collaboration with the Financial Times on a commission on the convergence of digital health, AI and universal health coverage will concentrate on international governance and regulatory regimes.

After implementing these we can choose to expand the feature space with polynomial (eg X²) or interaction features (eg XY) by using sklearn's PolynomialFeatures() Note: The choice of feature scaling technique made quite a big difference to the performance of the classifier, I tried RobustScaler, StandardScaler, Normalizer and MinMaxScaler and found that MinMaxScaler worked the best.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM DAY 1 WHERE IS IQ'WHALO? What will our generation be remembered for? This year marks the second IGF attended by UN Secretary-General António Guterres. His opening speech last year – together with French President Macron's speech – carried substantive reflections on the state of global digital policy, and an encouraging vision for the digital developments ahead of us. This year's opening speech couldn't be more different. Characterised by examples of how the Internet is being misused and exploited, Guterres gave a stark account of the profound issues which are affecting today's technology and tomorrow's developments. 'It is for me an enormous frustration to be that today, not only we are still building physical walls to separate people, but that there is also the tendency to create some virtual walls in the Internet also to separate people.' The three main divides – the digital divide, the social divide, and the political divide – are still profound.

Banana, a nutritionally-rich, delicious fruit, is a widely-cultivated crop across the world and is a staple diet of people living in parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Due to pests and diseases, only 13% of the global production is traded, and often, farmers in India experience severe loss due to fusarium wilt or Panama disease. A novel innovation now aims to change the fortunes of banana growers by helping them detect diseases and pests with their smartphone. In a recent study, researchers from the USA, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Ethiopia and India have developed a banana pest detection app powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Artificial Intelligence is an emerging arena in computer science where machines are programmed to simulate human intelligence and perform tasks like speech recognition, visual perception, language translation and decision-making.
