Artificial intelligence (AI) is not always easy to understand. It has a long and complex history that dates to the 1950s. Up until recently, the development of AI has been relatively slow and commonly confused with automation. The two are often referred to in the same sentence, but have distinctly different uses. Automation is the process of making software (or indeed, hardware) automate routine tasks, following a prescribed set of instructions.

Artificial Intelligence has the potential to bring immense opportunities, but it also poses challenges. Artificial intelligence (AI) is dominating the R&D agenda of the leading Internet industry. The Silicon Valley and other startup hubs are buzzing about artificial intelligence and the issue has come at the top of policymakers' agenda including the G20, the ITU, and the OECD, where leaders gathered this week in Paris. AI isn't new, but its recent acceleration can be explained by its convergence with big data and IoT, and the endless applications and services it allows. In the market, this translates into investments across all industries as stakeholders try to understand the potential of AI for their own businesses. For instance, at the beginning of the year, Ford motors announced a plan to invest $1 billion over the next five years in Argo AI, an artificial intelligence startup that is focused on developing autonomous vehicle technology.

Attracted by the convenience of shopping anytime, anywhere, consumers are flocking to mobile commerce (m-commerce). We think the shift to browsing and buying via smartphones will sustain e-commerce growth, as the convenience of mobile encourages more frequent online shopping. We also expect the consumer-led shift to m-commerce to prompt a wave of retailer investments in artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. Just over one-third of all US online retail sales will be made via mobile devices (including tablets) this year, according to Euromonitor International, which projects that that share will reach 43% by 2020. But m-commerce brings challenges for retailers.

Yasmin Green leads a team at Google's parent company with an audacious goal: solving the thorniest geopolitical problems that emerge online. Jigsaw, where she is the head of research and development, is a think tank within Alphabet tasked with fighting the unintended unsavory consequences of technological progress. That means listening to fake news creators, jihadis, and cyber bullies so that she and her team can understand their motivations, processes, and goals. "We look at censorship, cybersecurity, cyberattacks, ISIS--everything the creators of the internet did not imagine the internet would be used for," Green said today at WIRED's 2017 Business Conference in New York. Last week, Green traveled to Macedonia to meet with peddlers of fake news, those click-hungry opportunists who had such a sway over the 2016 presidential election in the US.

Boeing just got into the autonomous aviation game, with the goal of building jetliners that fly themselves, no pilots required. "The basic building blocks of the technology clearly are available," Mike Sinnett, Boeing's vice president of product development, said ahead of the Paris Airshow. The prospect of a pilotless passenger plane may strike you as crazy, even terrifying. But developing computer systems sophisticated enough to pull it off is well under way. Autopilot technology already does most of the work once a plane is aloft, and has no trouble landing an airliner even in rough weather and limited visibility.

Elon Musk has offered a glimpse into the motivations that ultimately spurred the birth of Tesla – and it had nothing to do with money. In a flurry of tweets this morning, the Tesla CEO revealed the decision to create the electric vehicle company came on the heels of General Motors' recall of its electric cars in 2003. The odds were heavily stacked against its establishment, Musk says, revealing he thought there was a 90 percent chance of'losing it all' – but, as other firms killed off their electric programs, he suggests the'only chance' at saving EV was to create a company himself. Elon Musk has offered a glimpse into the motivations that ultimately spurred the birth of Tesla In a flurry of tweets this morning, the Tesla CEO revealed the decision to create the electric vehicle company came on the heels of General Motors' recall of its electric cars in 2003 On Twitter, Musk also revealed that, while the company still has a'long way to go,' Tesla has convinced'most of the auto industry' to start their own EV programs. He also says he'gave them all our patents to help, so that's something.'

Hackers are using a cunning new attack method to neutralise activists' Twitter accounts. It involves the hacker taking over an account, cloning it and completely changing the original. What's more, thanks to their knowledge of how Twitter's account recovery and recycling processes work, the hackers are managing to lock the victims out of their accounts and keep them out. 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 giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.

Have you been to Michael's lately? Because the Stellas are still on the walls, the Charles Garabedian drawings are still kind of naughty, and the guys at the front bar are still drinking complicated things that involve whiskey more expensive than you can afford. It's all very disco-era until you get out to the tented patio, where it is still pretty late-'70s except that the Robert Graham frieze is as good as anything you've seen at a museum lately and the foliage springs eternal; the seaside California we all wish we still lived in, where the people at the next table are just back from the Venice Biennale and you could probably throw together a gallery exhibit featuring nothing more than the customers' shoes. But that bowl in front of you -- it might contain a bit of chopped summer squash, some cherries, rose geranium-scented cream and crisped grain; a vegetable appetizer that could pass as dessert. The wine in your glass is likely to be an orangey-pink skin-contact white from Slovenia instead of a Napa Sauvignon Blanc, and the bread on the table is dark and profoundly sour.

We hear again and again that AI and robots are going to take away human jobs. My broken kettle says otherwise. Yesterday, I set my electric kettle down awkwardly on the edge of the sink. It toppled over and smashed. I searched Amazon for a replacement, found several that were highly rated, and within minutes had placed an order.
