How AI Is Disrupting The Law
It is difficult to read the news today without running across an article saying that AI will change everything. Is this also true of the legal profession? Some claim that we're in the midst of an "AI apocalypse:" that every level of society will be massively disrupted. Although much of this press is hype and clickbait, the reality within the practice of law is that AI is indeed beginning to have a substantial impact. Ultimately, AI will be more disruptive to the legal profession than the move in the last century from typewriters to word processors.

The Difference Between A.I. and Machine Learning and Deep Learning
There's a discussion going on about the topic we are covering today: what's the difference between AI and machine learning and deep learning. Very frequently, press coverage and even practitioners of analytics use the terms Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning interchangeably. However, these three concepts do not represent the same. In this video, we are going to break this down for you, giving you examples of use cases making the difference between ai and machine learning and deep learning more clear. Any device that perceives its environment and takes actions to maximize its chances of success, can be said to have some kind of artificial intelligence, more frequently referred to as A.I.
UK warns of tech majors' control of AI
An influential body of UK policymakers said regulators should stop major tech companies from dominating the field of artificial intelligence, and also warned on the potential of widespread unemployment due the technology. British anti-trust regulators should be mindful that large datasets on which artificial intelligence depends on are not monopolised by a handful of large technology companies, such as Alphabet, IBM and Microsoft, the House of Lords Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence said in a report published Monday. "Large companies which have control over vast quantities of data must be prevented from becoming overly powerful within this landscape," the report, which followed a nine-month inquiry into all aspects of AI development in the UK, said. The committee received 223 pieces of written evidence and interviewed 57 witnesses during the course of the investigation. However, it stopped short in recommending the creation of an overarching new ministry to serve as a watchdog on the emerging technology.
Seed Vault Ltd. partners with bottish – Chatbots Life
Every 2nd month bottish hosts a conference where international experts are streamed online and to offline meetup locations in 20 countries. Currently the bottish network includes 50.000 members and affiliates and is managed by beeq GmbH, a community-building organization based in Switzerland. Launched in 2016, bottish has created one of the world's largest communities of bot developers, product managers and marketeers to freely exchange knowledge and ideas. Through its meetups and online conferences bottish has been widely received by the industry whose members and affiliates actively participating to further innovation in conversational user interfaces. Currently, the bot industry is dominated by a small number of internet giants, holding the tools and protocols needed to develop the next generation of bots and put them in the hands of users.
UK Government Proposes Five Basic Principles to Keep Humans Safe From AI
A new report by the Lords Select Committee in the UK claims that Britain is in a strong position to be a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence. But to get there--and to keep AI safe and ethical--tech firms should follow the Committee's newly proposed "AI Code." The new report was penned by the House of Lords Artificial Intelligence Committee, and it's titled "AI in the UK: Ready, Willing and Able?." The AI Committee is proposing a path for both the British government and UK-based businesses to move forward as AI increasingly expands in power and scope. The report is particularly timely given the recent scandal surrounding Cambridge Analytica's use of Facebook data and growing concerns that tech companies aren't working in the public's best interests.
The Internet of Things (IoT) - essential IoT business guide
These IoT devices and assets are equipped with electronics, including transducers such as sensors and actuators, connectivity/communication electronics and software to capture, filter and exchange data about themselves, their internal/external state and the environment they physically reside in. The connection of IoT'things' and usage of IoT data drives various purposes in the lives of consumers and in business, healthcare, innovation, mobility, cities and society. The many potential goals of IoT are segmented into IoT use cases: reasons for which IoT is deployed such as health monitoring, asset tracking, environmental monitoring, predictive maintenance and home automation. There are hundreds of IoT use cases, depending on the industry and/or type of application. Some IoT use cases exist across industries, others are more vertical. IoT is an essential driver for customer-facing innovation, data-driven optimization and automation, digital transformation, innovation, research and ...
10 Ethical Issues of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
AI and robotics are going to shape our future. Next there are 10 issues that professionals and researchers need to address in order to desing intelligent systems that help humanity. The flow of misinformation together with our natural inability of perceiving reality based on evidence (a phenomenon called confirmation bias) is a threat to having an informed democracy. Russian hackers influencing the US elections, Brexit campaign and Catalonia crisis are examples of how social media can massively spread misinformation and fake news. It is an open question how institutions are going to address this threat. The scientific revolution in the 18th century and the industrial revolution in the 19th marked a complete change in society.
Robots Ride to the Rescue Where Workers Can't Be Found
Many are doing brisk business as companies around Eastern Europe accelerate an automation drive. At Rittal, a maker of switch gears and control cabinets for industrial robots, orders rose 15 percent last year and have jumped 25 percent since January. "Companies aren't able to produce more, so their competitiveness is falling," said Jaromir Zeleny, Rittal's managing director. "They don't want to be so dependent on people." Eastern Europe became a manufacturing powerhouse by luring multinationals with low wages. That advantage is ebbing, though.
Basketball: Euroleague Puts Fans in the Picture With New App
A joint venture between AGT International and the WME-IMG sports and entertainment agency, HEED's partnership with Euroleague extends long-term beyond the Final Four in Belgrade in May. The cameras and microphones will measure the energy and excitement of players and coaches, with the AI able to distinguish cheers, chants and boos. "We are looking at the fans and saying the fans are the storytellers of the game," HEED co-founder Mati Kochavi told a SportsPro Live conference in London last week. He likened the app, which has been in the works for some time, to having a robot watching the game from all angles and sending regular updates based on AI rather than human observation. "He's going to tell you that something is shifting and changing in the game, or something special is happening. He's also going to connect it to the visual in order to represent it," he said.
