Terms like cognitive science, neuroscience and artificial intelligence have been gaining traction in French schools. Researchers and startups are working overtime to create new tools to improve teaching methods and career counseling. Additionally, President Emmanuel Macron recently announced that France's artificial intelligence strategy would focus on higher education and research. Many EdTech startups are already tackling A.I. but where do French schools stand? According to Audencia innovation director Valérie Claude-Gaudillat, "A.I. remains very disconnected from our coursework and teaching methods. It's rarely discussed in the classroom and that is a problem."

Through the increased availability of data and online connectivity through novel interfaces & APIs, we are faced with more opportunities than ever before. For instance, today, you can use many services to get data on purchases you'd like to make and suggestions on when the optimal time to make the purchase would be (e.g. However, soon, this operation may seem antiquated as artificial intelligence (AI) and assisting algorithms have become more prevalent and can make these decisions in your place. In imagining a future like this, will the balance of power shift toward the data owner and end-purchaser or will tool manufacturers and conduits be able to gain an upper hand? With consumer preferences for regained privacy and control, as well as new regulation such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it's plausible to see more data held by the consumer and the consumer exercise more control over where their data is used.

Fortnite, an online game that combines kill-em-all thrill with the whimsy of a cartoon dreamland, has become an obsession for many teenagers. Fortnite, an online game that combines kill-em-all thrill with the whimsy of a cartoon dreamland, has become an obsession among teenagers. Fans gathered on Friday at Gamers Paradise in River Vale to play the post-apocalyptic game together. On one day this winter, more than 3.4 million people around the globe played online video game Fortnite simultaneously. And many of them were teens.

The Hong Kong's Civil Aviation Authority (HKCAA) suggests that UAV users may need to register their drones with authorities, undertake training, pass tests and meet certain insurance requirements. As per the new rules, drone weighing over 9 ounces would need to be registered and the operators need to undertake short web-based training. But before making any changes, Hong Kong needs to go through a three month period of public consultation. The proposal will also include making certain parts of the island into no-fly zones. Still, there are number of countries that require proper registration and a license to fly.

In 1996, when a computer won a match against the then reigning world chess champion Garry Kasparov, it was nothing short of a sensation. After this breakthrough in the world of chess, the board game Go was long considered to be a bastion reserved for human players due to its complexity. Nowadays, however, the world's best players no longer have any chance of winning against the "AlphaGo" software. The recipe for the success of this computer programme is made possible through a combination of the so-called Monte Carlo Tree Search and deep neural networks based on machine learning and artificial intelligence. A team of researchers from the University of Muenster in Germany has now demonstrated that this combination is extremely well suited to planning chemical syntheses--so-called retrosyntheses--with unprecedented efficiency.

UAE nationals including government officials, employees and students will soon get the opportunity to receive specialised training on artificial intelligence at the Oxford University. The MoU was signed by Omar bin Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence and Roger L. Michel, founder …

A new three year agreement between the UAE and Oxford University will see Emirati officials, employees and students trained to build their skills in artificial intelligence technology through an array of specialised training courses.

Give us your feedback Thank you for your feedback. Germany's Max Planck Society creates Nobel Prize winners. Most recently, in 2014, physicist Stefan Hell, one of its scholars, was recognised for a breakthrough in microscope technology, allowing much smaller structures -- less than 200 nanometres -- to be seen. Commercialising this kind of highbrow abstract research, however, has been a different matter. While the alumni of California's Stanford University have filled Silicon Valley with start-ups, Germany's research institutes have not created clusters on the same scale.
