Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are shifting from being business buzzwords toward wider enterprise adoption. The efforts around strategies and adoption are reminiscent of the cycle and tipping point for enterprise cloud strategies four years ago when companies no longer had the option to move to the cloud and it only became a question of when? And how? AI and ML strategies are in the same evolution mode as companies build their approaches. Below are some thoughts around the how. Forrester recently reported that almost two-thirds of enterprise technology decision-makers have either implemented, are currently implementing, or are expanding their use of AI.

Healthcare professionals have never had so much data at their fingertips. Automation in the healthcare industry and the positives and negatives of its impact are often disputed. Having previously discussed whether technology will soon take over healthcare jobs, here medical industry experts discuss how automation in the healthcare industry is beneficial. "Intense regulation means life-preserving drugs and therapies can take years to come to market. In the fast-moving world of pharma, using off-the-shelf software to track all your compliance needs is like innovating with one hand tied behind your back. Automation coupled with emerging technologies like low-code are redefining what it means to'diagnose' and'treat' illnesses. Traditional approaches to interpreting patient information relies heavily on human input, and are not suited for high-volume, routine clinical testing. The most respected oncologists, medical specialists and clinicians know that only with the highest degrees of accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility will lives be saved. By implementing automation successfully, healthcare organisations can reap the benefits of streamlined processes, including a simplified product lifecycle, faster time to market, easy-to-maintain regulatory compliance, and cost savings throughout. For example, low-code helps workers in the healthcare industry build their own applications that circumvent such problems and bring drugs to market much faster. It can also work alongside emerging technologies like robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline drug development processes and leverage data to inform lifesaving decision making. Healthcare professionals have never had so much data at their fingertips, and much is being done to crunch this data behind the scenes to provide accurate diagnoses."

Job creation in the Middle East remains paramount as a lever to enable prosperity and sustainability. However, advances in automation, technology and specifically robotics and AI, continue to have a significant impact on jobs and on the workforce. So, how much will be replacement of humans vs. an augmentation of skills? And is it possible that Hollywood-like dystopian scenarios, such as the Matrix or Terminator, could become a reality? The truth is, the threat of jobs being replaced by new technology has always been there.

Earlier this year a report by the King's Fund highlighted the tremendous difficulties startups have in scaling up their technologies in the healthcare sector. It cited things such as a lack of appetite for change and insufficient resources to scale up successful pilots as key factors holding back innovation in the sector. Such conclusions are not new however, with many shared with previous reports on the topic. For instance, the King's Fund report follows on from the Accelerated Access Review, which was designed to speed up the introduction of technologies and innovations into the NHS. Many of the recommendations from that are shared with the King's Fund report, as they are with another report from the Health Foundation.

Nintendo sparked fears for the future of Luigi after it showed Mario's brother being graphically killed and its sole tearing itself from his body. But the company has acted to ensure that fans don't worry about the character and tweeted that he is "okay". Luigi's violent death came as part of the live Nintendo Direct broadcast this week, which showed footage from the upcoming Super Smash Bros game. One of the many announcements revealed during that stream was that the game would include levels and characters from the Castlevania games. 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 company has spoken out over a popular theory that technology products like iPhones use their microphones to spy on their users. It is often suggested that data is being collected for ads – partly as an explanation for the often bizarrely relevant posts that show up on websites like Facebook. Apple said that it would not allow a third-party app like Facebook or Instagram to listen in on its users. But it also said that it is unable to monitor what developers do with the data they collect. 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.

Google services such as its image search and translation tools use sophisticated machine learning which allow computers to see, listen and speak in much the same way as human do. Machine learning is the term for the current cutting-edge applications in artificial intelligence. Basically, the idea is that by teaching machines to "learn" by processing huge amounts of data they will become increasingly better at carrying out tasks that traditionally can only be completed by human brains. These techniques include "computer vision" – training computers to recognize images in a similar way we do. For example, an object with four legs and a tail has a high probability of being an animal.
