Marcus stops by the coffee shop on his way to work as a diplomat at the U.S. Embassy. As he exits, ready to cut across Pylimo Street, a man approaches him. In accented English, the man says that he's lost and motions to his phone. Marcus looks down at the phone and sees a video of a man embracing a woman for a kiss. But the woman is not his wife.

Initially conceived as a technology that could mimic human intelligence, AI hasn't quite achieved this feat but significant progress has been made.

There is some debate recently as to whether data is the new oil [1] or not [2]. Whatever the case, acquiring training data for our machine learning work can be expensive (in man-hours, licensing fees, equipment run time, etc.). Thus, a crucial issue in machine learning projects is to determine how much training data is needed to achieve a specific performance goal (i.e., classifier accuracy). In this post, we will do a quick but broad in scope review of empirical and research literature results, regarding training data size, in areas ranging from regression analysis to deep learning. The training data size issue is also known in the literature as sample complexity.

When data scientists in Chicago, Illinois, set out to test whether a machine-learning algorithm could predict how long people would stay in hospital, they thought that they were doing everyone a favour. Keeping people in hospital is expensive, and if managers knew which patients were most likely to be eligible for discharge, they could move them to the top of doctors' priority lists to avoid unnecessary delays. It would be a win–win situation: the hospital would save money and people could leave as soon as possible. Starting their work at the end of 2017, the scientists trained their algorithm on patient data from the University of Chicago academic hospital system. Taking data from the previous three years, they crunched the numbers to see what combination of factors best predicted length of stay.

In Africa, like everywhere else in the world, artificial intelligence (AI) is moving up the agenda as companies, entrepreneurs and governments work out how to keep pace with the Fourth Industrial Revolution. While the continent has a long way to go when it comes to AI adoption, these technologies already play a prominent role in many individual organizations: Nigerian mobile-lending platform Carbon uses machine learning to evaluate credit applications, South African fashion retailers rely on algorithms to predict the next season's top sellers and Kenyan ride-hailing app Little has implemented AI to assess driver performance. For the continent to remain relevant on the global stage, it is not only vital that companies embrace AI, but also that local entrepreneurs have equity in these technologies. That said, building an AI-powered start-up in Africa comes with a unique set of challenges not experienced by entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, particularly in terms of raising capital, human resources and market receptiveness. Entrepreneur Vian Chinner has first-hand experience of both worlds.

There is an open debate about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI). Sceptics of AI question how much AI is a "threat" to our privacy, way of life and how much it can ultimately deliver. "It's healthy to approach with a certain sense of humility. People have been talking about the rise of artificial intelligence since Stanford Professor John McCarthy coined the term in 1956," Sam Blatteis, CEO of The MENA Catalysts, a public policy consulting firm for government innovation arms and high tech multinationals, told TechRadar Middle East. However, Blatteis said that, "there are those who believe that the disruptive potential of AI will have nothing less than the social impact of the industrial revolution, Henry Ford's assembly line, the invention of flight, and the Internet."

With the rise of self-driving technologies, there is great speculation as to how this new world of autonomous transportation will impact the economy and society. Critics claim that industries will suffer, millions of people will lose their jobs, and society will overall be worse off. Optimists predict that along with new technologies will come new industries and new jobs, and with the benefits of self-driving cars, there will be a ripple of benefits into other aspects of life. Before exploring these different possibilities of what the future may be, let's take a journey to the past. Here we find civilizations at war, and one of the earliest forms of transportation: the chariot.

Global demand for food is anticipated to increase by 60% by 2050. Today, a great percentage of the world's population is fed by small-scale farmers, primarily from developing countries, using traditional methods and rudimentary farming practices. The complex value chain and the lack of resources and connectivity add to the agricultural inefficiency, so, there is a strong need for a wider package of yield optimizing and risk decreasing services for these small-scale farmers. Project FARM, created at Capgemini's Applied Innovation Exchange (AIE) Collaboration Zone (CoZone) in the Netherlands, aims to address these issues. The Project FARM platform uses Artificial Intelligence to determine farming patterns through big data, generating insights from the data to make recommendations.
