AI set to revolutionise banking

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence gets a bad rap in pop culture. Movies like Terminator (with its rebellious Skynet) and 2001 (with its murderous HAL 9000) portray a future where the robots get smart, and conclude that it is in their interests to try and destroy mankind. But the truth about AI is a lot more mundane, writes Kele Boakgomo, MD: financial services practice at Accenture in South Africa. Most of us use AI every day when we talk and interact with Siri or Google on our phones and AI is why Netflix knows what movies you'll like and what other products you'll want to buy on Amazon. And AI is poised to become a big deal in banking.


Jean-Claude Juncker: EU President does not own a smartphone despite saying 'our future is digital'

The Independent - Tech

Jean-Claude Juncker has revealed that he does not own a smartphone. The president of the European Commission made the admission while speaking about the growing importance of technology. He said he doesn't need to be "a techie" to know that "our future is digital". 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.


Twitter could roll out 'fake news' button on tweets

The Independent - Tech

Twitter is exploring the idea of building a fake news button, a new report says. The feature is currently said to be in "a prototype phase", but could roll out in the future as a convenient way for users to stop the spread of false stories. How it would work isn't yet clear, but anonymous sources familiar with the plans say a fake news button could sit next to individual tweets.

Artificial intelligence to generate new cancer drugs on demand

#artificialintelligence

IMAGE: This is the Architecture of the Adversarial Autoencoder (AAE). Thursday, 22nd of December Baltimore, MD - Scientists at the Pharmaceutical Artificial Intelligence (pharma.AI) group of Insilico Medicine, Inc, today announced the publication of a seminal paper demonstrating the application of generative adversarial autoencoders (AAEs) to generating new molecular fingerprints on demand. The study was published in Oncotarget on 22nd of December, 2016. The study represents the proof of concept for applying Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to drug discovery. The authors significantly extended this model to generate new leads according to multiple requested characteristics and plan to launch a comprehensive GAN-based drug discovery engine producing promising therapeutic treatments to significantly accelerate pharmaceutical R&D and improve the success rates in clinical trials.


'Kodi box' crackdown causes hundreds of sellers to shut down

The popularity of such devices has exploded over recent months, and Kodi has been extremely critical of both sellers and the sites that promote the use of the add-ons.

Viewpoint: Artificial Intelligence Comes to HR as a Conversation

#artificialintelligence

Industry research shows that more than $14 billion was invested in artificial intelligence (AI) over the last five years, and almost every existing HR software company now has an AI strategy. AI is a broad term, covering techniques like machine learning, predictive analytics, natural language processing, and visual image and spatial recognition. All of these techniques have been made possible during the last decade by work in high-performance computing, sensors and "big data." In the realm of HR, we have been talking about people analytics for almost a decade, and I think the application of AI will finally help HR make strides in this type of analytics. While fewer than 10 percent of the companies we talk with have advanced analytics capabilities in HR, once AI is embedded into our HR systems, the platforms will help us predict who to hire, what next job to take, what training to use and even when to expect fraud.


How Will AI Transform Our Digital Workplace?

#artificialintelligence

How many times have you painstakingly scanned through your emails or searched through folders on your computer looking for that one elusive file you worked on months ago? Probably more than you care to count. In fact, research indicates that on an average, employees spend roughly 25-35 percent of their time looking for information they need to get their jobs done. That's why the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an exciting new chapter in our evolving digital workplace – it promises to usher in a new era of productivity in our work environments like we've never seen before. While AI has remained a field of academic research for several decades now, it is only in recent years we've seen the applications of AI crop up in various industries.

Petya cyber attack that spread around the world was intent on destruction, not on making money

The Independent - Tech

The cyber attack that broke many of the world's biggest companies was intent only on destruction. Experts say that initial suggestions that the software was being used to make money may have been a distraction. The software might instead be part of a plan simply to cripple as many systems, companies and countries as possible, they said. The software itself suggested it was ransomware – when it was loaded up and had taken over users' computers, it asked for money to get the files back. But actually paying that money wasn't possible, and so it generated a tiny amount of cash.
