Recently, my colleague looked at how healthcare analytics has changed over the past 10 years. Now, let's look at the future of artificial intelligence in healthcare. We've amassed an enormous amount of clinical, billing and operational data and now we are getting machines to learn historical patterns in order to make predictions about future events. From improving revenue to developing new cures for ailments, AI is here to stay – and that's a good thing. From a patient care perspective, the possibilities are endless.

Artificial Intelligence Market Global Artificial Intelligence Market: Snapshot Globally, there is a wave of artificial intelligence across various industries, especially consumer electronics and healthcare. The wave is likely to continue in the years to come with the expanding base of applications of the technology. The global market for artificial intelligence is expected to witness phenomenal growth over the coming years as organizations worldwide have started capitalizing on the benefits of such disruptive technologies for effective positioning of their offerings and customer reach. According to a study by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global market for artificial intelligence is estimated to post an impressive 36.1% CAGR between 2016 and 2024, rising to a valuation of US$3,061.35 The upward growth of the market is, however, hampered by the low upfront investments.

Earlier this month, a resident in a rural province of South Korea found a small, sky-blue unmanned plane perched nose-up against a tree in a remote forest. The drone belonged to the North Korean military and apparently had flown south for five hours, capturing images of a sensitive new U.S. anti-missile system before crashing. It lacked missiles or other weapons like the larger, more advanced models used by U.S. forces in the Middle East. But South Korean officials and security experts consider such flights unlawful incursions. As world powers focus on North Korea's emerging nuclear capabilities, its drone program is raising concerns about espionage and aggravating already tense relations with its southern neighbor.

According to several external studies the list of top skills required in 2017 should include Hadoop technology.

Mike Tyka paints the portraits of people who don't exist. The subjects of his ephemeral artwork are not born from any brush. Rather, they are sculpted -- roughly -- from the digital imagination of his computer's neural network. Faces are "interesting and we humans react strongly to them, we tend to read a lot into them," Tyka explained over email. "I find I connect with them when I work with them, I'm curious about who they might be, if they existed."

Whether you enjoyed curling up with Tetris on a Gameboy, rolling around as Sonic on a Sega, or were just trying to ignore the loud beeping sounds coming from the next room ... if you were around in the 1980s and 1990s, you will remember the arrival of home gaming. Computers had made it into our living rooms, and although fans had their favourites - the thrust of Street Fighter, the platforms of Super Mario or the simplicity of Pacman - children and adults alike were hooked. The market for consoles has continued to grow over the decades as technology companies across the globe try to get their bite out of the gaming pie. But almost 20 years into the new millennium, passionate players are still looking back in time to find their fix. "While there's definitely an element of nostalgia, it's important to recognise how well designed many of those classic games are," said technology journalist and retro game collector KG Orphanides.

When it comes to the EU Commission's decision to fine Google €2.42 billion for breaking competition law, the cash is just a distraction. The EU's larger goal is to position itself as an antidote to Silicon Valley's winner-takes-all attitude, and reshape our interactions with the world's tech giants. The hefty sum – the largest ever doled out by the EU's competition regulators – will sting in the short term, but Google can handle it. Alphabet, Google's parent company, made a profit of $2.5 billion (€2.2 billion) in the first six weeks of 2017 alone. The real impact of the ruling is that Google must stop using its dominance as a search engine to give itself the edge in another market: online price comparisons.

The RAF may drop bombs on people launching cyber attacks that hit Britain, according to the defence secretary. Speaking after a huge attack on the parliamentary network – but soon before the Petya attack spread across the world, including to the UK – Michael Fallon said that the country could launch responses to online attacks "from any domain - air, land, sea or cyber". The comments have already attracted some criticism because it is usually almost impossible to say with certainty who carried out a hack. Experts may sometimes identify the country or state that appears to be behind any given cyber attack – but even that identification can be intentionally spoofed by hackers. 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.

Security experts have found a'vaccine' for the ransomware that has been causing chaos around the world. It was initially thought to be a variant of known malware Petya, but is now claimed to be a completely new infection, which Kaspersky has dubbed'NotPetya'. However, it's still widely being referred to as'Petya', as well as'Petna' and even'SortaPetya'. It has affected a number of large organisations around the world, including WPP in the UK. 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.

Facebook is rolling out plans to start shouting at people as they scroll through their news feed. The company is adding sound to its auto playing videos – meaning that as people scroll through the app, they'll be subjected to all the noise from all the videos that are there, whether they like it or not. Facebook says that the change is intended to make it easier to watch videos on the site. But it's also probably a part of its plan to become a major player in video – encouraging people to watch more of them and allowing advertisers to more easily reach people.
