Andrew Ng is one of the foremost thinkers on the topic of artificial intelligence. He founded and led the "Google Brain" project which developed massive-scale deep learning algorithms. In 2011, he led the development of Stanford University's main Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) platform. His course on Machine Learning would eventually reach an "enrollment" of over 100,000 students. That experience led Ng to co-found Coursera, a MOOC that partners with some of the top universities in the world to offer high quality online courses. Today, Coursera is the largest MOOC platform in the world.

WhatsApp has added a pair of new features designed to encourage you to share more pictures through it. The messaging app now offers a selection of filters, which you can use to edit your photographs, videos and even GIFs, before sharing them. It's a mildly surprising move, but is clearly designed to keep younger users engaged. 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.

Aircraft fuel is without a doubt the biggest cost for any airline and often receives widespread attention, especially when airlines hedge their bets the wrong way. Cathay Pacific reported a HK$4.49 billion fuel-hedging loss in the first half of 2016, which has hurt the airline's profitability. The second biggest expense for an airline is human capital, and researchers from Hong Kong Polytechnic University and University of Nottingham Ningbo China Business School may have found a solution to ease some of Cathays financial woes through an unlikely source – Machine Learning and Data Science. The researchers say that a "poorly designed airline crew schedule can result in unreliable flight schedules, significantly jeopardizing airline operations and profitability if insufficient crew members are available or other glitches occur. For that reason, managing airline crew scheduling and costs are one of the most crucial topics for airlines because it yields enormous economic benefits and ranks as the second highest expenditure after fuel costs."

Chatbots are taking over the world. Over the past few years, virtual help agents have taken on surprisingly sensitive jobs in modern society: counseling Syrian refugees fleeing civil war, creating quiet spaces of contemplation for millions of Chinese living in densely populated cities, and helping Australians access national disability benefits. Bots have offered help, support, and companionship. But there's one line none of them have yet crossed: actually treating patients. That's just changed, with the release of a talk therapy chatbot that goes by … wait for it … Woebot.

Phoenix, one of Kodi's most popular add-ons, has just closed down. It provided access to TV shows, films and sports channels, and the announcement will undoubtedly surprise and disappoint a huge number of fans. While specific reasons for its closure haven't been detailed, one of Phoenix's developers has hinted that it was because of the legal issues surrounding Kodi.

RoboCup is an international scientific initiative with the goal to advance the state of the art of intelligent robots. Established in 1997, the original mission was to field a team of robots capable of winning against the human soccer World Cup champions by 2050. To celebrate 20 years of RoboCup, the Federation is launching a video series featuring each of the leagues with one short video for those who just want a taster, and one long video for the full story. Robohub will be featuring one league every week leading up to RoboCup 2017 in Nagoya, Japan. This week, we consider being part of the RoboCup@Home league.

Self-driving cars are either already here or perpetually a few years away, depending on who you ask. Companies like Tesla and Uber are working to build self-driving trucks to ferry cargo across the country. For any given mode of transportation, someone is trying to make it autonomous. But for one Chinese company, it's not enough to make self-driving versions of the vehicles that already exist. Rail transit company CRRC invented a brand new type of vehicle and then made it self-driving.

Disclaimer: I am an IT guy and my knowledge on human body is limited to my daughter's high school biology class book and information obtained from search engines. So, excuse me if any of the information below is not represented accurately!! Human body is the most complex machine ever created. With a complex network of interconnected organs, millions of cells and the most advanced processor, human body is the most automated system in this planet. In this article, we will draw comparisons between working of a human body to that of a data center. We will draw parallels between human body automation to data center automation and explain different levels of automation we need to drive in data centers.

Digital growth accelerated over the last few years in Asia Pacific. There are more than four billion mobile phone subscriptions across the region and more than 1.4 billion Asian consumers now use social media every month, with 95% of them accessing platforms via mobile devices – the highest ratio in the world. New technology offers exciting opportunities for businesses, governments, and society; and the rapid growth and speed of change we're seeing as a result of this digital connectivity is shaping the everyday lives of the people in this region. For businesses, new technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) will have a significant implication on the future workplace as a means to make computers and mobile devices more hands-free. The future of hands-free human-machine interfaces is highly dependent on how well these devices can understand human behaviour and respond to it.

In 2015, after much research, I wrote about China having 194 robot companies and used screen shots of The Robot Report's Global Map to show where they were and a chart to show their makeup. We've just concluded another research project and have added hundreds of new Chinese companies to the database and global map. China installed 90,000 robots in 2016, 1/3 of the world's total and a 30% increase over 2015. Simply said, China has three drivers helping them move toward country-wide adoption of robotics: scale, growth momentum, and money. Startup companies can achieve scale quickly because the domestic market is so large.
