Raising a child in the final season of Telltale's 'Walking Dead'

Engadget

When we we first met Clementine in Telltale's The Walking Dead, she was a scared eight-year old hiding in her tree house from the zombie hordes. Over time, she learned how to shoot, scavenge and survive as the world crumbled around her. Mostly, that was due to her great mentor: Lee, the first season's ex-convict lead. Now in The Walking Dead's final season, Clementine is a teenager with a young charge of her own. It's her job to keep him alive -- but also, to make sure he grows up properly. Welcome to parenthood in the zombie apocalypse.


Can Artificial Intelligence and 360-Degree Cameras Save Coral Reefs?

#artificialintelligence

Climate change has been bleaching coral reefs, decimating the local marine species that call them home, since at least the first major observations were recorded in the Caribbean in 1980. Thankfully, new A.I. cataloguing designed to identify the geographic regions where coral is still thriving hopes to reverse the trend, saving some of the world's most dense and varied aquatic ecosystems from all-but-certain extinction. There are numerous reasons why we need to care about saving coral reefs, from the ethical to the economic. In addition to housing about a quarter of marine species, these reefs provide $375 billion USD in revenue to the world economy, according to the Guardian, and food security to half a billion people. Without them, researchers say countless species and the entire ocean fishing industry that depends on them would simply evaporate.


Drone Swarms as You Know Them Are Just an Illusion--for Now

WIRED

Look at all the pretty drones. Hovering above sports stadiums from Houston to Pyeongchang, many hundreds of them have lately sparkled in artful murmuration. The world record, 1,374 LED-bedazzled microbots, was set by Chinese company EHang UAV in May. So-called drone swarms--the phrase people have taken up with gusto--are having their biggest, buzziest year ever. It's an evocative word, swarms, and innocuous enough when applied to one of Intel's drone light shows.

Elon Musk has responded after rapper Azealia Banks made a series of lurid claims about him. The Tesla founder was tweeting while on drugs and may have invited the musician to his house to have sex with him and his girlfriend Grimes, she suggested. But Mr Musk told Gizmodo he had has "never even met [Banks] or communicated with her in any way". The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.


Four amazing feats of the Evo algorithm

#artificialintelligence

Most retailers are stuck in the past, using obsolete forecasting systems to make decisions. But the models of ten years ago won't get the job done today. If you want success in today's highly competitive retail market, you'll need to utilize the benefits of big data and machine learning. The problem is that most retailers aren't technically savvy enough to build these systems on their own. That's where Evo comes in.


FiveAI to start a trial of its shared autonomous car fleet in London in 2019

#artificialintelligence

After raising $35 million to develop driverless car technology and a strategy to build a fleet of shared vehicles, UK startup FiveAI is announcing its first on-street trial: a service aimed at commuters in the London outer boroughs of Bromley and Croydon. Projected to begin in late 2019, it will kick off first with a 10-month "data gathering" exercise, which will see five FiveAI vehicles, with drivers, collect information about road conditions, the movement of pedestrians and various vehicles, and other variables to help train its AI platform. The new trial will be the first on-street effort from the UK startup, which has up to now been testing its technology primarily in Bedfordshire, at automotive testing centre Milbrook Proving Ground, according to Ben Peters, FiveAI's VP of product who is also a co-founder of the company (alongside Stan Boland, Steve Allpress, John Redford and Simon Walker). The news of the London trial comes as TechCrunch has learned that FiveAI is also in the process of raising a new round of funding. While the $35 million FiveAI has raised to date is considered the highest amount of funding for an autonomous car company in Europe, it is a very modest figure when compared to startups in the US and China. Indeed, although transportation across Europe is estimated to be a $400 billion market, Peters estimates that no more than $100 million has been raised by autonomous driving startups in the region, versus around $8 billion by autonomous car startups the US, home to startups like Zoox and Nutonomy (which, like FiveAI, are building platforms that they plan to use in their own fleets), transportation providers like Uber, and car makers (which themselves are acquiring startup talent to kickstart their efforts), and tech giants like Google that approach cars like the next big hardware challenge.


How Data Science Is Disrupting The World Of Marketing

#artificialintelligence

The last five years have witnessed an incremental shift in the mindset of what Artificial Intelligence can do to optimise marketing efforts for corporations globally. We've seen how more recently, Big Data has progressed from being a mere competitive advantage to a prerequisite that is now an integral part of the marketing circle – from developing creative campaigns, running them through the right channels and measuring the impact. The availability of inexpensive analytics tools based on machine learning methods is driving marketers to pump out extensive datasets and colourful reports. It's akin to outsourcing the simpler, repetitive tasks through intelligent automation to let the marketers make decisions based on machine learning, preconfigured rules and algorithms. From a work standpoint, this means a significant amount of the decision-making executives' time is freed up to do more important tasks that require human input and focus.
