Google employees fear it is secretly developing a controversial search engine for China despite publicly stating that the project had been halted in December, according to a new report. The new search engine, dubbed Dragonfly, was originally meant to launch between January and April this year but the project was shelved following an outcry from Google workers. China's strict censorship laws mean Google's search engine is blocked by the so-called Great Firewall of China. A new platform would conform to the country's laws by blacklisting words and phrases like "human rights", "Nobel Prize" and "student protest", according to internal documents obtained by The Intercept. We'll tell you what's true.

In this episode of our Inside the Strategy Room podcast, senior partner Tamim Saleh cuts through the hype around artificial intelligence (AI) and offers clear guidance for executives looking to make precise strategic decisions about where and how to employ AI in their businesses. Tamim shares insights on the impact of machine vision on AI, the future of voice recognition, and the latest developments in advanced analytics, virtual assistants, and robotics. He outlines the challenges companies face when adopting AI and the steps CEOs can take to overcome them. Tamim is a senior partner in our London office, and he is with me at our Global CFO Forum, where he's speaking about AI and machine learning. Tamim, one of the things you've talked about is the notion of five different developments of AI. Tamim Saleh: Machine learning and AI are limited by the fact that when we input data as humans, first of all we are slow, and we make mistakes. One of the fastest-growing technologies is capturing data through image analytics and cameras. And the beauty of this is, cameras don't make the same mistakes we do, because they capture things the way they are, and they don't see the world the same way that we do. In fact, the spectrum is much wider than what we see. It includes infrared, et cetera. So there are a lot of business problems [that image technology can help].

Andreas Schleicher is a German data scientist--tall and precise with a grey mustache and a steely gaze. The head of the education division at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), he gives off an impression of determined focus. That's useful, considering that he's on a mission to change the way countries around the world teach their children. Society, according to Schleicher, is preparing for the future of work all wrong. We're scared that human jobs will be replaced by robots. But we're still teaching kids to think like machines. "What we know is that the kinds of things that are easy to teach, and maybe easy to test, are precisely the kinds of things that are easy to digitize and to automate," Schleicher said at the LearnIt conference in London in January. It's fairly easy to teach and test math, for example--but robots happen to be pretty good at math, too.

Automotive vehicles & design is the work involves in the growth of the appearance, and to some scope the ergonomics, of motor vehicles or more specially road vehicles. This most usually referred to automobiles but moreover refers to buses, motorcycles, trucks, vans, and coaches. The practical outline and improvement of an ongoing engine vehicle is typically done by an extensive group from a few distinct orders required inside car building. Car configuration is prepared by fashioners who often have a workmanship foundation and a degree in transportation outline or mechanical plan. The mechanical engineering field requires an understanding of core areas including dynamics, mechanics, materials science, thermodynamics, structural analysis, and electricity.

Jason Baker was studying political science at UC Davis when he got his hands on "SimCity." He took a careful approach to the computer game. "I was not one of the players who enjoyed Godzilla running through your city and destroying it. I enjoyed making my city run well." This conscientious approach gave him a boost in a class on local government.

EHang specializes in aerial landscaping. In consumer drones it is dwarfed by fellow Chinese drone maker SZ DJI Technology Co Ltd, which is the world's largest maker of non-military drones and plans to list in either Hong Kong or mainland China, people familiar with the matter told Reuters last year.

New game Anthem is crashing and in some cases leading people's PlayStations to break, according to players. The new game appears to have problems that are causing it to stop working and leading people who bought it to demand refunds for the game. Developers EA have said they are aware of the problems and are collecting reports in order to fix them. We'll tell you what's true. You can form your own view.

The store's launch comes after Google agreed to invest $550 million in JD.com in June 2018. That deal came after Google funded several small Chinese tech companies, most of which specialized in artificial intelligence. Google's search engine has been inaccessible from China since 2010, though the company maintains sales and engineering teams in the country.

There has been a lot of hand-wringing in certain circles that European businesses are not exploiting advanced technologies such as AI anything like as well as US or Chinese companies. It is true we haven't (yet) spawned global giants like Google or Baidu. But O think there's a more nuanced reality. Back in November 2018, I was delighted to be invited by IBM to be a judge at its European IBM Watson Challenge event. This was a "Dragon's Den" style event where 32 IBM business partners (from an initial submission of 155 prototypes) were each invited to present an innovative AI-based business solution and associated business plan to a panel of judges (the Dragons!) over two, exhausting and intensive (but exhilarating) days.

The two companies also share several common partners in the United States and Asia.
