The first 100 of Baidu's "Level 4" self driving buses have rolled off the production lines, said Robin Li, chief executive of China's largest search engine operator on Wednesday. The self-driving buses, which can seat up to 14 people, were co-developed by Baidu, which is transforming itself into an artificial intelligence (AI) company, and bus maker King Long United Automotive Industry Co. Level 4 operations means that the vehicles can take over all driving in certain conditions. With no steering wheel and high automation, the buses will be put into use in cities including Beijing, Xiongan, Shenzhen and Tokyo, Li said at the Baidu AI Developer forum being held in Beijing. "They will help with shuttle services around nuclear power stations and senior communities in Japan," for example, said Li. Baidu will partner with SB Drive, a subsidiary of SoftBank Group, to export the self-driving buses to Japan. Autonomous vehicles are a key part of the Nasdaq-listed Chinese company's future as it seeks to reshape itself into a major player in artificial intelligence, in line with China's national strategy to develop excellence in the field.

On Wednesday e-commerce giant Alibaba opened the world's first clothing store with integrated Artificial Intelligence technology. After customers swipe their Taobao QR code when they enter the FashionAI store in Hong Kong, a smart mirror in the store will match the items they select with other products, including ones that the customer previously bought on Taobao. Consumers can take their purchases with them when they leave the store, or ask the store to arrange delivery.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the new black in Singapore, with the city-state forging ahead to seal its status as an AI hub in the region. Just last year, a national AI programme was unveiled by the National Research Foundation (NRF) to "grow the knowledge, create the tools and develop the talent to power Singapore's AI efforts" [1]. In addition, the NRF has also announced plans to pump in US$107 million for the project over the next five years. A recent research from Accenture found that AI could nearly double Singapore's annual economic growth rates by 2035[2]. The plans by the government are hence unsurprising as AI is deemed the next generation technology that will power Singapore's growth. However, Singapore is not the only nation putting an emphasis on AI.

The use of computers and robots is becoming more prevalent in societies worldwide. More schools are integrating basic robotics and programming concepts in their lessons and curricula. Such initiative is true not only in advanced countries but also in third world countries like the Philippines. "Robotics must be integrated in the schools. It is one of the skills 21st century learners need in order to succeed in life," De La Salle Santiago Zobel School International Robotics Coordinator Genevieve Pillar told Philippine News Agency (PNA).

Reading a chest X-ray is tough. So much so that even radiologists get it right only around 70-80% of the time. What if they got help from'machine eyes'? It was trained on over 1.5 million X-rays to detect 15 chest abnormalities, ranging from tuberculosis to potentially cancerous lung nodules. To test the product, Qure.ai, in December 2017, began collaborating with radiologists at the Bengaluru hospitals of the Columbia Asia health-care group.

This is going to be an extensive article on my case on why CPC is a golden investment opportunity at the moment and why I think it is extremely undervalued. In my opinion, an increase of 50-100x by the end of the year, especially if you get in now, is not impossible. There are multiple factors to why CPC is going to be a golden investment, everything from its technology, its team, the market they are targeting and the fact that it is not yet known by many people - so if you are interested, spend a couple of minutes and delve into the case on why CPC will be one of the top gainers 2018. Cyber-Physical Chain (CPChain) connects blockchain with IOT to enhance the distributed systems in that realm. This technology has multiple advantages, firstly it will reduce the cost of interconnected systems, increase the value of data sharing, and enhance security and data sharing. The problem that CPC solves is the scalability issues along with the security and real-time issues of the current IOT. By combining the three technologies: blockchain, Internet of Things and distributed encryption storage and computing, it builds a new generation of Internet of Things, which can provide entire solutions for data acquisition, sharing and application in IoT industry. CPC also incorporates AI(Artificial intelligence) to establish data interconnection and solves many hard points in the industry.

I just started my new job at Airbnb as a data scientist a month ago, and I still feel that I'm too lucky to be here. In the past, when people asked me, "Which company do you want to work for the most?" I dare not to say "Airbnb" because when I said that, they replied to me, "Do you know how many people want to work there? How many of them eventually got in? The result proves that nothing is impossible.

What if we could generate novel molecules to target any disease, overnight, ready for clinical trials? Imagine leveraging machine learning to accomplish with 50 people what the pharmaceutical industry can barely do with an army of 5,000. It's a multibillion-dollar opportunity that can help billions. The worldwide pharmaceutical market, one of the slowest monolithic industries to adapt, surpassed $1.1 trillion in 2016. In 2018, the top 10 pharmaceutical companies alone are projected to generate over $355 billion in revenue.
