AI is more present in our daily lives than many people realize. The world is on the cusp of an AI revolution. Companies around the world are already using the technology to help do everything from parse medical records to teach cars to drive themselves. At home, digital assistants like Amazon's Alexa, Apple's Siri and Google Now, have put a conversational gloss on the burgeoning tech. In 2017, AI is likely to not only get smarter (natch) but also more humanlike.

As part of Artificial Lawyer's continuing series about emerging legal tech markets around the world, today's guest post about Belgium is brought to us by Tom Pieters, a lawyer at Belgian law firm AdvoDender. He is also a member of COMMIT (Committee on IT) and A.I.-D.I. (Committee on Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation) of the Flemish Bar Association. On October 27, 2016 Artificial Lawyer published a guest article by Dutch lawyer Niek van de Pasch on the quickly growing legal tech scene in Holland. It was a very interesting read, but it only added to my growing sense of unease, a feeling that started upon my discovery of Dutch Legal Tech in February 2016. I have been interested in all things tech for a very long time.

When it comes to our cars, drivers are asking for new features powered by the Internet of Things (IoT) and companies like IBM and BMW Group are answering their call. In fact, today we announced a new collaboration focused on exploring how Watson cognitive computing can personalize and enhance the driving experience. And when I say collaboration, I mean a true side-by-side effort–BMW Group, is collocating a team of researchers at IBM's new global headquarters for its Watson Internet of Things business (IoT) in Munich, Germany. Together, every day, we will marry the power IoT and connected cars, a combination that will forever change the driving experience. A fascinating aspect of this collaboration is something that's on the mind of every driver, weather.

We stand on the precipice of greatness, on the gravel edges of a long path that seems to curve into the sky itself. Someone points to the sky as the sun is rendered to a speck behind a cloud of locusts. The sky turns to black and brown, as packages containing soap, fridge magnets, socks and HDMI cables are dropped from the sky. Amazon Prime Air drone delivery is here and we are saved? Yesterday Jeff Bezos announced the first ever Amazon Prime Air customer delivery.

The mission of the Research Group is to produce world-leading research, to offer first-class research supervision and postgraduate teaching in the interdisciplinary areas of information and language processing, and to deliver cutting-edge practical (including commercial) applications with far-reaching societal impact based on its research output. The Research Group in Computational Linguistics (RGCL) at the University of Wolverhampton was founded by Prof. Ruslan Mitkov in 1998 and is one of the leading research institutes in the UK. The group is well known for its high level research with strong international and inter-sector collaboration, and is renowned for its innovative NLP research and development of various NLP tools and resources. The Research Group in Computational Linguistics is pursuing active research in many areas including anaphora resolution, automatic summarization, terminology extraction, corpus development and exploitation, information extraction, named entity recognition, question answering, multiple choice questions and multilingual applications. In addition to these topics, the members of the team have their own particular research interests.

Aston University has launched MESO-BRAIN, a major stem cell research project which it hopes will develop three-dimensional (3D) nanoprinting techniques that can be used to replicate the brain's neural networks. The cornerstone of the MESO-BRAIN project will be its use of pluripotent stem cells generated from adult human cells that have been turned into brain cells, which will form neural networks with specific biological architectures. Advance imaging and detection technologies developed in the project will be used to report on the activity of these networks in real time. Such technology would mark a new era of medical and neuroscience research which would see screening and testing conducted using physiologically relevant 3D living human neural networks. In the future, this could potentially be used to generate networks capable of replacing damaged areas in the brains of those suffering from Parkinson's disease, dementia or other brain trauma.

In fact, 80 percent of businesses reported already incorporating or planning on adding chatbots by the year 2020. That's according to a study pulled together by Oracle, surveying more than 800 decision makers at companies in France, the Netherlands, South Africa and the U.K. Most were in the C-suite -- chief strategy officers and marketing officers; others were senior sales and marketing executives. They were asked about emerging technologies and whether they've already employed them or are interested in moving in a certain direction. In general, the survey found that these leaders are turning to focus on automation-related technologies, specifically implementing chatbots to enhance or fix issues around sales, marketing and customer service. Speaking of customer service, more than 40 percent of those executives said they think automation will improve that experience over the short and long haul.
