Is AI the future of sports production?

#artificialintelligence

For two weeks every summer, the centre of the tennis world is in the London suburb of Wimbledon. Millions of tennis fans follow the action. They want scores, they want player and tournament information. And they want the highlights. With an average of three matches per day on each of the six main show courts, hundreds of hours of video can quickly mount up.

Battle of the Boyne: Why is it in the iPhone calendar and what is it?

The Independent - Tech

The Battle of the Boyne has arrived โ€“ a moment greeted with incredible significance by some people in the UK, and confusion by others. The event is a public holiday in Northern Ireland and marks one of the most controversial and important parts of British history. And it is marked by a message in people's iPhone calendar, which has the tendency to confuse some people who see it. For people in Northern Ireland, that fact is obvious: they have the day off, and the controversial celebrations are hard to miss. But for the rest of the UK, the only reminder might be a cryptic note inside their iPhone calendar.


Nabbed at airport, ex-Apple engineer was fleeing with secrets to self-driving cars, FBI says

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

Most new cars come with a range of connected options, from Bluetooth to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Here's how to distinguish among them and how to determine what you need. Apple is offering free fixes for some Macbook and Macbook Pro computers that aren't operating correctly. It was almost a perfect getaway, but a former Apple employee was captured at the airport just before boarding a flight to China, after apparently stealing some of the tech giant's secret plans for self-driving cars. The ex-employee, Xiaolang Zhang, had been a person of interest, already interviewed several times by Apple, and also by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The US may have just pulled even with China in the race to build supercomputing's next big thing

MIT Technology Review

There was much celebrating in America last month when the US Department of Energy unveiled Summit, the world's fastest supercomputer. Now the race is on to achieve the next significant milestone in processing power: exascale computing. This involves building a machine within the next few years that's capable of a billion billion calculations per second, or one exaflop, which would make it five times faster than Summit (see chart). Every person on Earth would have to do a calculation every second of every day for just over four years to match what an exascale machine will be able to do in a flash. This phenomenal power will enable researchers to run massively complex simulations that spark advances in many fields, from climate science to genomics, renewable energy, and artificial intelligence.


Dual-screen Finney phone is 'world's first blockchain smartphone' โ€“ and it wants to bring cryptocurrency to the masses

The Independent - Tech

An Israeli startup behind one of the world's most expensive phones has unveiled its latest device, which it hopes will simultaneously revolutionise smartphones and deliver cryptocurrency to the masses. In contrast to its predecessor, the new device aims to reach as wide an audience as possible with a more modest price tag of $1,000. It is unique both in terms of its software and hardware, having ditched the monolithic slab design adopted by most modern-day smartphone manufacturers. A twist to this ubiquitous design means the introduction of a hidden screen that slides up from behind the Finney's main display to reveal a cold-storage cryptocurrency wallet. "We're blockchain enthusiasts," Nimrod May, Sirin Labs' chief marketing officer, tells The Independent.


Pentagon Courts Tech Giants For Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Google's planned exit from the controversial "Maven" project doesn't mean the Pentagon's artificial intelligence aims will go bust. It just opens up a new window of opportunity for other tech giants, like Amazon, Microsoft and IBM--all of whom were originally courted by the U.S. military. The Pentagon is keen to expand its use of artificial intelligence at a time when it is crystal clear that AI dictates the future balance of global power. And they're hoping (rather realistically) that Silicon Valley won't abandon them entirely by following Google out the door. In May, some 3,000 Google employees protested over the company's work with the U.S. military in a project known as "Maven".


Here's What You May Not Know About The Future Impact Of AI In Your Workplace

#artificialintelligence

A computer running artificial intelligence software defeated two teams of human doctors in accurately recognizing maladies in magnetic resonance images on Saturday, in a contest that was billed as the world's first competition in neuroimaging between AI and human experts. Good versus evil is a daily battle on a variety of levels but perhaps none more so than that those tracking developments within the realm of Artificial Intelligence. The question on the minds of many business leaders is will the technology create more efficiency within industries or will machines end up usurping their very users. Many in the workforce simply want to know whether there will be massive impending job loss as a result of AI or whether such tech advancements will help them to be more productive. There are wild myths about this new area of tech and even wilder predictions amidst few, if any, regulations and standards.
