The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8 March 29 will represent a comeback for the company's mobile unit, which is recovering by the Galaxy Note 7 disaster. What's unclear is how Samsung Galaxy S8 flagship phone will fare given the multiple unknowns the company is facing. Samsung's Galaxy S8 lands amid a backdrop of the company's January report on what went wrong with the Note 7 and how it is fixing its processes to prevent battery problems in the future.

The healthcare technology sector has given rise to some of the most innovative startups in the world, which are poised to help people live longer, better lives. The innovations have primarily been driven by the advent of software and mobility, allowing the health sector to digitize many of the pen and paper-based operations and processes that currently slow down service delivery. More recently, we're seeing software become far more intelligent and independent. These new capabilities -- studied under the banner of artificial intelligence and machine learning -- are accelerating the pace of innovation in healthcare. Upon close evaluation of the opportunities that exist within each area, it becomes obvious that the stakes are high.

The New Zealand branch of leading Asia-Pacific law firm MinterEllison, known as MinterEllisonRuddWatts, has launched a joint venture with tech investment platform Goat Ventures to develop a new legal AI company. The JV will provide NZ$2m as co-investment to develop a completely new legal AI business. The firm said it wanted to focus on AI because legal services are well suited to this technology. The MinterEllison project in New Zealand is different in that it is specifically looking at building a legal AI application, most other law firms that have invested in or supported new legal tech have had a more general outlook. Also, this JV is focused on creating just one standalone legal AI business and is not seeking to support start-ups in general or seeking to be an incubator or accelerator to other legal tech businesses.

A majority (84 per cent) of companies polled for a study see the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as "essential" to competitiveness, with a further 50 per cent seeing the technology as "transformative," according to Tata Consultancy Services' Global Trend Study titled, "Getting Smarter by the Day: How AI is Elevating the Performance of Global Companies." Exploring the views and actions of decision makers from global companies with average revenues of $20 billion, the study revealed AI is spreading across almost all areas of a company. Asia Pacific companies reported an average 19 per cent increase in revenue stemming from AI. AI spend in the region is expected to hit US$57 million this year. The biggest adopters of AI today are, not surprisingly, IT departments, with two-thirds (67 per cent) of survey respondents using AI to detect security intrusions, user issues and deliver automation. However, by 2020, almost a third (32 per cent) of companies believe AI's greatest impact will be in sales, marketing or customer service, while one in five (20 per cent) see AI's impact being largest in non-customer facing corporate functions, including finance, strategic planning, corporate development, and human resources.

What with Nier: Automata finally released, I thought it worth talking with Taro Yoko about his involvement with the series over the years. "I was born in the city of Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture. I entered into the Nagoya Women's University Kindergarten and then (skipping ahead) enrolled into the Department of Visual Information at the Kobe Design University. The courses entailed learning about visual expression and CG but the reason I decided to enter this department was that English was not included in their entrance exam and I was not good at English at that time. "I have liked games for a very long time but when I saw Gradius at the arcade as a junior high student, I became certain that in the future all forms of entertainment will be taken over by video games.
