Animals can breathe a sigh of relief as researchers promote switching to artificial intelligence for testing instead of mammals. In Europe alone, the nine most frequently done animal tests in 2011 were fatal 57 percent of the time. There's little wonder animal rights activists have protested the controversial practice for decades. Humankind often prioritises money over humanity, it's an unfortunate fact that doesn't appear set to change anytime soon. Fortunately, the researchers believe switching to AI testing may reduce costs and provide a financial incentive to move away from animal tests.

The software – which is being presented in Stockholm today at the International Conference on Machine Learning – applies artificial intelligence to a set of user-defined specifications. Engineers have already used the program to design a bike that they hope will break the world speed record this fall in Nevada. The current record for a bicycle travelling across flat road is 133.78 km/h, set in 2012 by a Dutch team at the World Human Powered Speed Challenge, which takes place every year in the Nevada desert. But this September, a team from IUT Annecy aims to beat that record. The team used artificial-intelligence-based software developed by Neural Concept, an EPFL startup, to boost the performance of its bike.

How do I become more effective at leveraging (big) data and analytics (artificial intelligence) to power my business? Success with artificial intelligence doesn't begin with technology, but rather the business, and more specifically the people and processes running the business. Before deploying technology, leaders should seek to understand (envision) how artificial intelligence could power a profitable business, and drive compelling customer and operational outcomes. Collaboration with stakeholders and key constituents is critical to understanding the decisions and needs of the business. While every organization's needs vary, there exists a consistent, transparent process that can drive a more stable and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence.

As the National Health Service reaches 70, it stands at a crossroads. For those who cherish the NHS, it is no longer possible to ignore the deep questions it faces. How will it be funded in a world of fiscal austerity? How will it be staffed in a world after Brexit? And how deep, really, is the Government's commitment to the principle of universal healthcare?

Businesses have long recognised the importance of delivering a memorable experience for customers.

As Amazon's gadgets seem to go from strength to strength, I sat down with David Limp, the senior vice president of devices and services at Amazon, to learn about the Alexa's next steps and the company's future plans. However, since one of the big successes of the company's devices division has been the Kindle ebook reader, I began by asking David Limp about that. "We've just got done with another Prime Day, which was a record day. On Kindle, which is coming up on its 10-year anniversary this November, a big milestone for us, it was the best-selling day in the history of Kindle. So, 10 years and you know if you were to listen to the pundits talk, they say nobody's buying readers anymore. But I can assure you lots of people are. And we're really excited that people still love dedicated readers and we're going to continue inventing there."
