One apparently innocuous video can break your phone. The new video is exploiting a bug that can lead to phone's gradually slowing down until they crash. The trick – being sold as a prank – is next to impossible to avoid and people who are experiencing it might not even be aware of the fact. The video only lasts three seconds and is being shared on an app called Miaopai. But people might not know that before being subject to the attack, because all that needs to happen is someone clicks on an otherwise innocuous-looking link.

And in the next few years, it will transform every industry. Soon, self-driving cars will reduce congestion and improve road safety. AI travel agents will know your preferences and arrange every detail of your family vacation. And medical instruments will read and understand patient DNA to detect and treat early signs of cancer. Where engines made us stronger and powered the first industrial revolution, AI will make us smarter and power the next. What will make this intelligent industrial revolution possible? A new computing model -- GPU deep learning -- that enables computers to learn from data and write software that is too complex for people to code. 3. NVIDIA -- INVENTOR OF THE GPU The GPU has proven to be unbelievably effective at solving some of the most complex problems in computer science.

AImotive, a Budapest-based artificial intelligence (AI) provider for fully autonomous vehicles, announced that it's expanding its operations to the US, TechCrunch reports. The company recently opened an office in Mountain View, California, and more offices around the country could soon be opened. AImotive's goal is to provide AI solutions to automakers to help enable level 5 autonomy, which we define as a vehicle operating without pedals or a steering wheel.

Apple released its latest laptops on Thursday, a new range of computers to replace the ageing range of Retina MacBook Pros. They are thinner and lighter than their predecessors, with a new touch bar at the top of the keyboard and a fingerprint sensor replacing the power button. They are £750 more than the machines they replace were – though their price has also gone up. The larger of the two new MacBook Pros, the 15in with Touch Bar, is the first laptop the company has released with a starting price of more than £2,000 for more than a decade: it begins at an eye-watering £2,349, with build-to-order options taking it well north of £4,000. Apple's former cheapest laptop, the £749 MacBook, is also being retired.

The 5Analytics platform is the motor for artificial intelligence (AI) and real-time-analytics. We help companies integrate ai into their business processes. With our software platform, artificial intelligence and real-time-analytics projects no longer take months to implement, but days. Our platform allows hundreds and thousands of machines to simultaneously and in real-time access artificial intelligence and advanced analytics procedures.

A London NHS hospital trust has teamed up with tech giant Google to share patient data so it can save more lives. Doctors at the Royal Free say partnering with the artificial intelligence arm of Google - DeepMind - could free up over half a million hours per year, currently spent on paperwork, towards direct patient care. Medical staff will get'breaking news' style alerts about their patients. Privacy campaigners are concerned about data breaches. Information on more than 1.6 million patients a year will be shared with a subsidiary of Google.

Artificial intelligence is expected to transform a wide range of industries, as simple tasks are automated and carried out by machines. The IT sector is no different, with machine learning algorithms increasingly being targeted at automating and improving data centre operations. A notable example has been Google, which recently revealed that it is using its own DeepMind technology to manage power consumption at its huge server farms, reducing the amount of electricity needed by 40 percent. There is also potential for AI technology to automate functions carried out by IT operations teams. Machine learning offers a way to manage infrastructure and react quickly to faults without human intervention.

DeepMind Health, the division of the Google-owned AI company that's focused on building links to healthcare providers to drive the application of machine learning algorithms for preventative medicine, has inked a fresh data-sharing agreement with the NHS Royal Free Hospital Trust in London. It's the second agreement signed between the pair -- and it supersedes their original agreement inked last year, which ran into controversy after a freedom of information request by New Scientist revealed the volume of patient identifiable medical data (PID) flowing from the Royal Free to DeepMind, and raised questions about whether NHS information governance principles were being correctly followed. The data in question was being used to power an app called Streams, built by DeepMind but using an NHS algorithm to generate alerts on patients at risk of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). At the time the collaboration was made public, last February, no details were provided about how much PID was being shared between DeepMind and the NHS -- leading to huge consternation when the scope of the arrangement emerged. The U.K.'s data watchdog, the ICO, began investigating complaints about the data-sharing agreement. The Streams app also ran into trouble when it was revealed DeepMind and the Royal Free had not registered it as a medical device with the oversight body, the MHRA, despite piloting the app in the Royal Free's hospitals.

Newsweek and International Business Times are to host an Artificial Intelligence and Data Science in Capital Markets event, taking place on 1 and 2 March 2017 at the Barbican in the City of London. The event, which is taking place in association with Imperial College London will bring together data scientists from banks, hedge funds and fintech startup companies to discuss the frontiers of AI and machine learning technology in financial markets. IBT Media is the parent company of Newsweek and International Business Times. Day one of the event will focus on new and interesting data sets that market participants can capture, clean and extract value from, in the search for benchmark-beating returns. The day's sessions will feature presentations and panels from a range of third party data processors, and providers of exotic data sets, such as IoT, satellite data, freight and customs data, text and social media, financial exchange and order flow data.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help us in many ways: it can perform hard, dangerous or boring work for us, can help us to save lives and cope with disasters, can entertain us and make our daily life more comfortable. Advances in AI are occurring at high speed. The potential risks and problems of AI technology are filling newspapers (e.g. However, rather than being a threat to our existence or plotting to take over the rule of the world, AI is already changing our daily lives, almost entirely in ways that improve human health, safety, and productivity. In the coming years we can expect AI systems to be used increasingly in domains such as transportation, service robots, healthcare, education, low-resource communities, public safety and security, employment and workplace, and entertainment (100 Year AI report).
