Twenty-six years after Talking Heads broke up, David Byrne remains one of New York's most recognizable people. There he is, about town, slim and white-haired--on his bicycle, at a just-opened restaurant, at the Public Theatre (his second musical, "Joan of Arc: Into the Fire," had a run there last month), or at a concert by an artist on his boutique record label, Luaka Bop. Before I took a seat at Carnegie Hall last Friday, then, I periscoped the room, wondering whether he was there and, if he was, whether he would wind up onstage. Angélique Kidjo, born in Benin, long based in Brooklyn, was performing "Remain in Light," and it seemed inevitable that Byrne would show, if only to see what another great artist would do with his strongest, strangest work. The band members strode out and took their places beneath the Stern Auditorium's broad arch: a dozen musicians, female and male, black and white, singers and instrumentalists. Kidjo emerged stage right, wearing an extravagantly patterned pantsuit and matching headdress of African design.

It's one month until E3, and that means it's time for the rumors, leaks, and let's-get-ahead-of-the-flood announcements to start appearing. Need for Speed and Assassin's Creed kicked off the season this week with a below-the-radar announcement and a leak, respectively. That, plus a steep discount on the Steam Link, a 20-minute Prey run, Hitman and Mass Effect put on hiatus, and an amazing Strafe "movie trailer" as we head into the weekend. This is gaming news for May 8 to 12. I think it's safe to say at this point that Valve's whole Steam Machine ecosystem hasn't exactly taken off.

Nigerian health officials won't have to rely on flawed, decade-old census data when they plan deliveries of the measles vaccine next year. Instead, they will have access to what may be the most detailed and up-to-date population map ever produced for a developing country. Created by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle, Washington, and delivered to Nigerian officials on May 1, the map is based on a detailed analysis of buildings in satellite imagery and more than 2,000 on-the-ground neighbourhood surveys. It is one of several projects that are leveraging remote-sensing data and modern computer-learning algorithms to chart human settlements around the globe with unprecedented precision. Researchers hope that these data will enable better management of public health, infrastructure and natural resources--and improve planning for emergencies.

April 13th 2015, Forrester came out with a report where they forecast that by 2020, One Million B2B Sales jobs (this is in the US only) will go. The suggestion being that certain (I'm not saying all) processes can be automated and with the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI), this automation seems only to increase. As Jill Rowley pointed out at the time, the introduction of AI is already happening as the first place people go to make a purchase is Google, which is Artificial Intelligence (AI) after all. OK before we start, you are already using AI and maybe you don't know it. So how can AI help us in Marketing and Sales?

U.S. officials have told airlines to "be prepared" for an expanded ban on carry-on electronic devices allowed on airplanes. Homeland Security spokesman David Lapan confirmed to reporters Tuesday that the administration is considering expanding the ban on laptops, which currently applies to U.S.-bound flights from eight countries in the Middle East and North Africa. An expanded ban on devices larger than cellphones could potentially include "more than a couple" other regions, including flights from Western Europe. Lapan reminded reporters that DHS Secretary John Kelly has alluded to the ban "likely" being expanded. DHS officials, however, are still deciding where and how the new restrictions will be implemented.

The next Assassin's Creed game is called Assassin's Creed Origins and it takes place at the very beginning, when the Assassins were first crawling from the sea to walk on two legs. The new game is set in ancient Egypt, and is being developed by the team behind Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, one of my personal favorites in the video game franchise. That's all according to various leaks, including the latest on Reddit, in which someone associated with the game posted some new information, while also confirming that "most of that 4chan info that was leaked a few months ago is real, although some things have changed since then." I suspect heads will roll at Ubisoft before the day is done. Eurogamer reports that its sources at Ubisoft have confirmed that the leak is real.

Automation and machine learning are set to disrupt our workforce in massive ways in coming years, according to delegates at this year's World Economic Forum on Africa. The so-called'fourth industrial revolution' is set to displace many career fields, introducing what could be the best of times and worst of times for workers, according to Dr. Roze Phillips, Managing Director for Accenture Consulting. However, this situation also presents new opportunities in the world of work, especially when it comes to more analytical jobs, as Phillips explains in this podcast with BizNews. This podcast is brought to you by RMB. I'm at the World Economic Forum for Africa, where I'm speaking to Dr Roze Phillips, who is the Managing Director for Accenture Consulting.

This article originally appeared in Buzz Business for TIME. Last October, the Mirai botnet took advantage of hacked IoT devices to take high profile websites, such as Twitter, Reddit, Netflix, Airbnb--and, it was rumored (incorrectly), the entire nation of Liberia. How do you secure a world of dizzying interconnectivity? If innovation is generating this unprecedented security challenge, it's only fair for innovation to help solve it--AI to the rescue. Look to the evolution of our telephone system.
