The British public's appetite for learning foreign languages has increased significantly after the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, according to newly released data. Languages app Lingvist says it has seen a 91 per cent increase in UK users since the EU referendum last June, having compared its user base during the nine months before the vote to its user base in the nine months after the vote. The popularity of English-Spanish courses has grown by 427 per cent, according to the data, with English-French courses experiencing a 342 per cent increase in popularity amongst British users.

Alex Jones has created a new symbol "to illustrate humankind transcending the synthetic VR being pulled over our collective souls". The Infowars chief and Trump ally tweeted the new drawing apparently in an effort to encourage other people to use it. It isn't clear exactly what Mr Jones was referring to in the post, though VR presumably stands for virtual reality. I came up with this symbol to illustrate humankind transcending the synthetic VR being pulled over our collective souls! The rest of the post might be a reference to claims that our world could actually be a virtual construction, like in the Matrix, a claim that has also been made by Elon Musk.

Dragon Quest Heroes II once again combines the high-octane action of Dynasty Warriors with the immersive and beautiful universe of SquareEnix's Dragon Quest. However, whereas Dynasty Warriors has players fight through battlefields of enemies, Heroes borrows more RPG elements, a welcome change to the tried and tested formula. Instead of slaughtering entire populations, you make your way through various levels of picturesque greenery, featuring all the cutesy enemies from the Dragon Quest series. These are interlocked with some mundane gathering quests, making the game feel like another standalone Dragon Quest title. You assume the role of either Lazarel or Teresa, cousins who are swept up in a burgeoning conflict.

The layoffs in India's IT companies, one of the largest private employers providing jobs to more than 37 lakh people, are worrying. Combined with the backlash the IT industry is facing in the US on the H1-B visa front, and in countries such as Australia, the future of the industry as a beacon of hope for young professionals is dimming, feel many. Add to this a widespread pessimism in the sector that much of its workforce will become redundant very soon (McKinsey in a report puts this number at half the workforce) and it is bad news for job-seekers and the government, which is staring at slack job creation across all segments. It also draws a grim picture of the economy's growth, which was being postured to be picking up smartly despite the demonetisation impact. Every business is going through huge transformation with the rampant use of technology that is making several traditional jobs obsolete.

A couple of years ago, Ashok Goel was overwhelmed by the number of questions his students were asking in his course on artificial intelligence. Goel teaches computer science at Georgia Tech, sometimes to large classes, where students can ask thousands of questions online in a discussion forum. With a limited number of teaching assistants, or TAs, many of those questions weren't getting answered in time. So, Goel came up with a plan: make an artificial intelligence "teaching assistant" that could answer some of students' frequently asked questions. In 2015 he built Jill Watson, his AI TA -- named after one of the IBM founders, Thomas J. Watson.

The average smartphone owner installs more than 80 apps on their device, but uses just over 30 of them on a monthly basis.

Infervision has developed a deep-learning model that can be used to identify lung nodules on chest CT studies.

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes mainstream, it feels like we are careering past a point of no return. The data-driven approach to media buying we have proudly cultivated is going to render us all obsolete as we are replaced by computers. The impact of artificial intelligence on our workforce looks bleak.

An increasing number of Android applications are attempting to track users without their knowledge, according to a new report. Over recent years, companies have started hiding "beacons", ultrasonic audio signals inaudible to humans, in their adverts, in order to track devices and learn more about their owners. Electronic devices equipped with microphones can register these sounds, allowing advertisers to uncover their location and work out what kind of ads their owners watch on TV and which other devices they own. The technique can even be used to de-anonymise Tor users. 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.

Automation and machine learning are set to disrupt our workforce in massive ways in coming years, according to delegates at this year's World Economic Forum on Africa. The so-called'fourth industrial revolution' is set to displace many career fields, introducing what could be the best of times and worst of times for workers, according to Dr. Roze Phillips, Managing Director for Accenture Consulting. However, this situation also presents new opportunities in the world of work, especially when it comes to more analytical jobs, as Phillips explains in this podcast with BizNews. This podcast is brought to you by RMB. I'm at the World Economic Forum for Africa, where I'm speaking to Dr Roze Phillips, who is the Managing Director for Accenture Consulting.
