Jimoh Ovbiagele is the Chief Technology Officer & co-founder of ROSS Intelligence. He is a self-taught programmer, starting at the age of 10, who founded several startups in college and worked on self-driving cars. When he was 21, Jimoh came up with the idea for and co-founded ROSS Intelligence. Two years later, he was named by the American Bar Association as a Legal Rebel and by Forbes as one of their 30 Under 30. He speaks around the world -- from Canada to China -- about artificial intelligence and the future of law.

Breathlessly promoting its signature brand -- Watson -- IBM sought to capture the world's imagination, and it quickly zeroed in on a high-profile target: cancer. But three years after IBM began selling Watson to recommend the best cancer treatments to doctors around the world, a STAT investigation has found that the supercomputer isn't living up to the lofty expectations IBM created for it. It is still struggling with the basic step of learning about different forms of cancer. Only a few dozen hospitals have adopted the system, which is a long way from IBM's goal of establishing dominance in a multibillion-dollar market. And at foreign hospitals, physicians complained its advice is biased toward American patients and methods of care. STAT examined Watson for Oncology's use, marketing, and performance in hospitals across the world, from South Korea to Slovakia to South Florida. Reporters interviewed dozens of doctors, IBM executives, artificial intelligence experts, and others familiar with the system's underlying technology and rollout. The interviews suggest that IBM, in its rush to bolster flagging revenue, unleashed a product without fully assessing the challenges of deploying it in hospitals globally. While it has emphatically marketed Watson for cancer care, IBM hasn't published any scientific papers demonstrating how the technology affects physicians and patients. As a result, its flaws are getting exposed on the front lines of care by doctors and researchers who say that the system, while promising in some respects, remains undeveloped. "Watson for Oncology is in their toddler stage, and we have to wait and actively engage, hopefully to help them grow healthy," said Dr. Taewoo Kang, a South Korean cancer specialist who has used the product. At its heart, Watson for Oncology uses the cloud-based supercomputer to digest massive amounts of data -- from doctor's notes to medical studies to clinical guidelines. But its treatment recommendations are not based on its own insights from these data.

The trade deficit had narrowed in the spring as exports of U.S. computer products and farm goods rose. U.S. exporters benefited from a decline in the value of the dollar, which makes American products cheaper overseas. Solid global growth also helped, as economies from Europe to Asia to Latin America are expanding simultaneously. Exports in June were the highest in 2 ½ years.

Elon Musk is worried about governments, specifically the Russian one, competing for artificial intelligence superiority and sparking World War III. That shocking statement was made all the more shocking by the low expectations the world seems to have for Russia, which US Senator John McCain dismissed just a few years ago as a "gas station masquerading as a country." Recent remarks by Russian President Vladimir Putin grabbed Musk's attention. Speaking to schoolchildren about AI on 1 September, Putin declared, "Whoever becomes the leader in this area will rule the world." Musk's response emerged on Twitter: "It begins..." Actually, Russia isn't "beginning" anything when it comes to AI.

After decades of isolation, the Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar is roaring ahead with the fasting growing economy in Asia in 2016, according to the Asian Development Bank's Asian Development Outlook 2016. Natural gas exports slightly increased as well. Tourism was also a major driver of the economy with 4.7 million arrivals in 2015 with about 70% of visitors entering overland from neighboring countries. Spending by tourists rose by 19% to $2.1 billion in 2015.

Huawei is increasingly optimistic about the future of artificial intelligence. At CES Asia 2017, Chief Operating Officer Wan Biao spoke to Digital Trends about the technology's growth, describing three key stages in AI's evolution: "Enable me, Know me, Be me." We're already into the beginnings of the "know me" stage, Biao said. "Be me" is still some time away, but despite its potential, that may be a good thing. Machines are already surpassing human intelligence, Biao said, and we're edging even closer to the prospect of a smart society -- where people and machines are one. This, combined with previous statements made by Huawei about artificial intelligence and the integration of machine learning into its smartphones, gives us a tantalizing glimpse of the smart future.

Elon Musk did it again and this time he's not showing a new product in front of a roaring crowd. Instead, he's kicking it up a notch and officially shares his opinion on the next level of Artificial Intelligence. His latest tweets now show a pessimism that is both remarkable and quite unusual for a multifaceted character like him. In short, his latest disaster scenario is the most pessimistic ever. What happened these days that Musk so bluntly tells everyone that doomsday is nigh?

The National Museum of Nature and Science on Tuesday added Sony Corp.'s Trinitron color television and HRP-2 Promet, a humanoid robot made in 2003 to a list of important historical materials. The 36-inch model of the high-definition Trinitron TV, released in 1990, was among 15 new items designated by the Tokyo museum as Essential Historical Materials for Science and Technology. The cathode-ray tube TV, which first went on sale in 1968, was among the first affordable high-definition TVs for general consumers before digital broadcasting began. The humanoid robot was jointly developed by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and then Kawada Industries Inc., now Kawada Robotics Corp. HRP2 Promet was a milestone in robotics technology development, the museum said, given its ability to walk on an uneven surface and pick itself up when it fell. "I'm very happy to see (Promet) recognized as an epoch-making humanoid robot," said Takakatsu Isozumi, head of technology at Kawada Robotics Corp., a Kawada Industries group company, and leader in the Promet development team.

As automation and artificial intelligence technologies improve, many people worry about the future of work. As automation and artificial intelligence technologies improve, many people worry about the future of work. If millions of human workers no longer have jobs, the worriers ask, what will people do, how will they provide for themselves and their families, and what changes might occur (or be needed) in order for society to adjust? Many economists say there is no need to worry. They point to how past major transformations in work tasks and labor markets – specifically the Industrial Revolution during the 18th and 19th centuries – did not lead to major social upheaval or widespread suffering.
