AI set to shake up big data in 2017 - RCR Wireless News

#artificialintelligence

AI is largely seen as the full realization of what big data, analytics and automation have been moving towards -- a fuller implementation of machine learning. It is being explored in a variety of verticals. Ford announced last week that it is investing $1 billion in startup Argo AI aimed at developing a brain for connected, autonomous vehicles. Consumers are getting comfortable with the concept of AI in their homes. Amazon has said that it sold millions of its Echo devices, which rely on Amazon's Alexa AI for user interactions.


Elon Musk says humans must become cyborgs to stay relevant. Is he right?

#artificialintelligence

Humans must become cyborgs if they are to stay relevant in a future dominated by artificial intelligence. That was the warning from Tesla founder Elon Musk, speaking at an event in Dubai this weekend. Musk argued that as artificial intelligence becomes more sophisticated, it will lead to mass unemployment. "There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot can't do better," he said at the World Government Summit. If humans want to continue to add value to the economy, they must augment their capabilities through a "merger of biological intelligence and machine intelligence".


Conversational Banking Will Transform the Financial Services Industry

#artificialintelligence

Leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and the surging popularity of messaging apps, conversational interfaces are enabling unprecedented banking engagement and re-establishing relationship banking. Chatbots are a simple, lightweight solution to a host of legacy banking problems, giving progressive banks and credit unions a competitive industry edge. The arrival of the digital age has disrupted the retail banking industry and altered the relationship between banks and their customers. Where banking once meant interacting with customers in brick-and-mortar branches, new digital banking channels like websites and mobile apps have opened an entirely new way to reach customers and do business. Online and mobile banking have allowed banks to reach customers more easily and frequently, and have given customers unprecedented access to their financial information.

The dataset consists of about 12,000 headlines half of which are clickbait. The clickbait headlines were fetched from BuzzFeed, NewsWeek, The Times of India and, The Huffington Post. The genuine/non-clickbait headlines were fetched from The Hindu, The Guardian, The Economist, TechCrunch, The wall street journal, National Geographic and, The Indian Express. Some of the data was from peterldowns's clickbait-classifier repository I used Stanford's Glove Pretrained Embeddings PCA-ed to 30 dimensions. This sped up the training.


Elon Musk: Humans must become cyborgs to avoid AI domination

The Independent - Tech

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says humans will have to merge with machines to avoid becoming irrelevant. Speaking at the World Government Summit in Dubai, he explained that the human brain isn't capable of keeping up with computers, which will start replacing people in certain fields of work. "Over time I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital intelligence," said Musk, according to CNBC.

Amazon's delivery drones could parachute packages to avoid landing

The Independent - Tech

Amazon is toying with the idea of equipping its autonomous delivery drones with parachutes. The idea is that they would enable the flying contraptions to float packages down to the ground in situations where landing could prove tricky. The potential plans are outlined in a new US Patent and Trademark office patent spotted by CNN.

Tokyo's underground consists of miles of pedestrian walkways, extensive shopping arcades and a subway network. It stretches for hundreds of kilometers between more than 200 subway stations. Even with a map and a good sense of direction, it is not necessarily an easy place to navigate. And for the visually impaired, the challenge is even greater. So, this month, a unique voice navigation field experiment led by civil engineering and general contracting firm Shimizu Corporation, IBM Research and real estate developer Mitsui Fudosan is taking place in an underground pedestrian walkway and COREDO Muromachi shopping park buildings 1, 2, and 3 in Nihonbashi-Muromachi, a popular downtown district with history that dates back to the Edo period of the 1600s.


#Asia Can AI, chatbots, and conversations change the web design industry? - Startup 365

#artificialintelligence

In recent trends, chatbots are seen to be simplifying many processes and disrupting almost every industry. In one my recent articles, I talked about how chatbots can increase your income from affiliate marketing and also discussed how A.I. and Chatbots will replace many leading jobs of humans. Apparently, web design is one of them. Started in 1989 with just plain codes, the internet is now evolving into an interactive arena. Extensive programming techniques on the front-end and back-end are continuously evolving the design and architecture of websites.

Hey 'Puter. Does Apple Siri Have A Hidden 'LEGO Batman' Easter Egg?

Forbes - Tech

Not only was LEGO Batman insanely popular, it was insanely fun (and, frankly, just insane). If you haven't enjoyed it yet...you should really sneak away on your lunch break and amend that. It was the most enjoyable Bat-flick I've watched in years. And if you don't think it's for serious nerds...I challenge you to name every D-List villain in the opening scene. I've been reading comics for over thirty years and I still had to Google some of them to make sure they weren't simply made up (no, seriously, there really is a Condiment King)!
