Drones aren't just cracking down on land-based poaching in Africa -- ATLAN Space is launching a pilot that will use autonomous drones to report illegal fishing in the Seychelles islands. The fliers will use computer vision to identify both the nature of boats in protected waters as well as their authorization. If they detect illegal fishing boats, the drones will note vessel locations, numbering and visible crews, passing the information along to officials. The pilot starts in October. The technology won't be limited to any specific drone system, ATLAN Space added, and that's important for the fishing industry.

By Manish Upadhyay The debate around Artificial intelligence (popularly called AI) has begun with extreme and not so extreme views about how it will impact jobs and particularly jobs in the MSME sector. The fact of the matter is that technology is ubiquitous, kind of a hygiene in every sector and every job, it's just that with the rise of computing power, server capacity and massive connectivity, the AI promise has become more certain and can't be ignored any further. So what is AI, as the name suggests intelligence as manifested by machines, which tends to mimic human intelligence in some form. Most importantly an AI system needs to be evaluated from what goal it wants to accomplish, largely it can be divided into three groups. Strong AI: which is focussed on actually simulating human reasoning, focussed not only to build systems that think but also to explain how humans think, 2. Weak AI: which is focused on building systems that can behave like humans, but the results will tell nothing about how humans think - IBM Deep Blue Chess programme is one such example.

Artificial Intelligence in healthcare is a new and exciting frontier and the possibilities are endless. With deep learning approaches beating human performances in many areas, the logical next step is to attempt their application in the health space. For these and other Machine Learning approaches to produce good results and have their potential realized, the need for, and importance of, large amounts of accurate data is second to none. This is a challenge faced by many industries and more so in the healthcare space. We present an approach of using Variational Autoencoders (VAE's) as an approach to generating more data for training deeper networks, as well as uncovering underlying patterns in diagnoses and the patients suffering from them. By training a VAE, on available data, it was able to learn the latent distribution of the patient features given the diagnosis. It is then possible, after training, to sample from the learnt latent distribution to generate new accurate patient records given the patient diagnosis.

Artificial intelligence, or AI, and machines threatening humanity's status quo have, for decades, been the staple of dystopian science fiction. Now the bot has bolted. AI is walking and talking among us, and early business adopters are most likely to prevent a doom-laden conclusion. Thanks to the advent of enabling technologies – machine-learning, inexpensive high-speed internet, secure cloud storage, mobility solutions and low-cost devices – the fantastical possibilities of the past have become reality. Voice-recognition systems are ubiquitous, driverless cars are queueing up to be unleashed on our roads and chatbots are so advanced it that can be impossible to determine whether the online customer-service operative you are communicating with has a pulse.

Following the announcement of its Brain Builder beta program, Neurala, an artificial intelligence company, recently announced its call for submissions for its "AI for Good" competition. Developers who participate in the "AI for Good" contest will have the chance to win a $1,000 first-place cash prize. The second-place finalist will win an EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2, and the third-place winner will receive a DJI phantom 3. Entries will be judged by a panel of industry experts. Neurala's own applications and commitment to this theme include its work with Motorola Solutions' first responder body cams to help find missing children, as well as its partnership with the Lindbergh Foundation to help combat animal poaching in Africa. Each proposal should feature a detailed explanation of the approach the applicant will take to achieve the desired objective.

The government of Japan is planning to introduce English-speaking Artificial Intelligence (AI) robots in classrooms to help children improve their English speaking skills, considered one of the worst in the world. The Japanese education ministry would be launching a pilot programme to test the effectiveness of the initiative in April 2019, reports Efe news. The initiative will be initially rolled out in 500 schools throughout the country with the aim of fully implementing it in two years, public broadcaster NHK reported Saturday. The programme also includes study apps and online conversation sessions with native English speakers. Japan has proposed improving English skills ahead of the surge in tourists expected during the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

As far as emerging technologies go, Chatbots are everywhere. They are the automated agent customers talk to when they dial a customer service hotline; the personal assistants embedded in smart phones and many smart devices; they exist in cars to make driving easier; they can even entertain people who want to chat for fun or even provide emotional support for when someone needs companionship. Many different kinds of chatbots have been built to bring conversional user experience to the masses, and in 2016 alone, more than 34,000 different chatbots were built. And this trend is only increasing. The 2018 Chatbots Market Report, which was just released on March 21st 2018, predicts the global chatbot market will grow with a Compounded Annual Growth rate (CAGR) of 27.5% between now and 2024.

Alphabet is broken out into its core Google business and a number of other subsidiaries, which it deems "Other Bets." The majority of Google's business comes from advertising revenues, which the company generates through its search engine as well as a number of other Google-affiliated and partnership websites. Outside of search and advertising, Google generates revenue from products including cloud and enterprise, consumer hardware, mapping, and YouTube. In addition to Google, Alphabet encompasses a host of other subsidiaries called "Other Bets." These companies are more experimental in nature, and as a result are not material to Alphabet's bottom line.

Give Jason Holmberg 10,000 zebra photos and he'll find the specific individual zebra you're looking for, no problem. "It could take two minutes," he said. Holmberg is executive director of the nonprofit Wild Me. The Portland-based organization has developed a digital tool called Wildbook that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to expedite wildlife identification. In tandem with citizen science, Wildbook is able to condense years of human work -- like photographing thousands of animals and identifying each by hand -- into a matter of weeks.
