At 2016's Code Conference, Bill Gates, when asked about AIs, said that "it is the most exciting thing going on right now". He's not the only one who feels that way. Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, had the same sentiments. Pichai pointed out, that Google had already been using algorithms to improve its search functions long ago. What is noteworthy, is the fact the 1 out of 5 searches that happen now, is done by voice.

This is the 2-part blog version of a talk I've given at DOAG Conference this week. I've also uploaded the slides (no ppt; just pretty R presentation;-)) to the articles section, but if you'd like a little text I'm encouraging you to read on. That is, if you're in the target group for this post/talk. For this post, let me assume you're a SQL girl (or guy). With SQL you're comfortable (an expert, probably), you know how to get and manipulate your data, no nesting of subselects has you scared;-).

Chris ** (DSC) - Strong Business Alyst and budding Data Scientist but I use that term loosely since the field is so diverse. My background is in fincial modeling but I have a lot of experience with relatiol data bases, working with large data sets, building dashboards and data visualization. I'm interested in breaking away from the spreadsheet and diving head first into R, Python and all the fasciting avenues this field has to offer. I hope to learn as much as I can and contribute what I can while becoming part of the data community.

Apple has said in comments to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is "excited" about the potential use of automated systems in many areas, including transportation. The company's director of product integrity Steve Kenner wrote that Apple is "investing heavily in the study of machine learning and automation, and is excited about the potential of automated systems in many areas, including transportation." Kenner did not say if the company would design or make self-driving vehicles or perhaps only license some of its machine learning software to car makers, reflecting Apple's continued reticence on its plans for the automated vehicles market. The company could not be immediately reached for more information on its plans. Apple is already doing deals with car makers in the area of iPhone integration.

Artificial Intelligence is most powerful when it draws from a multitude of devices, data sources and advanced analytics. Imagine the rapid creation of an anti-virus based on the simultaneous analysis of data from early cases of flu in Europe, and clinical trials in the US, and lab tests in Japan. This is data that will be drawn from multiple devices, operating systems and data bases across the globe. This scale of information processing will also demand a new era of computational power. Even a relatively simple AI computation will need to draw at will from tens of thousands of computers and servers across the globe.

China is trying to capitalize on President-elect Donald Trump's hardline immigration stance and vow to clamp down on a foreign worker visa program that has been used to recruit thousands from overseas to Silicon Valley. Leading tech entrepreneurs, including Robin Li, the billionaire CEO of Baidu, China's largest search engine, see Trump's plans as a huge potential opportunity to lure tech talent away from the United States. The country already offers incentives of up to $1 million as signing bonuses for those deemed "outstanding" and generous subsidies for start-ups. Meanwhile, the Washington Post last month reported on comments made by Steve Bannon, who is now the president-elect's chief strategist, during a radio conversation with Trump in Nov. 2015. "When two-thirds or three-quarters of the CEOs in Silicon Valley are from South Asia or from Asia, I think ...," Bannon said, trailing off.
