AI won't wipe out all jobs, but you need to be a constant learner to ride the wave
While being a constant learner has its own perks in the industry you're in, it may have long-standing repercussions in the world of AI and automation. When factory workers get automated and replaced for something cheaper and more effective, their skills become inadequate to survive. They then defer to other industries or make other industries more competitive with cheaper labour. That's the true impact of automation that isn't being addressed these days. Research by IT giant Infosys and Future Foundation found that teens living in countries such as India, UK, USA, Australia, France and other leading economies have a significant fear of AI. The youth of these countries believe that their future jobs will be automated in the next 10 years.
AI robot writes new Brothers Grimm fairytale
The Brothers Grimm have been dead more than 150 years, but they recently released a new story with a little help from artificial intelligence. The Princess and the Fox was created after a group of writers, artists and developers used a programme inspired by predictive text on phones to scan the collected stories of the Brothers Grimm to suggest words and similar phrases. Human writers then took over, to help shape the AI's algorithmic suggestions into the latest Grimm fairytale. The new tale tells the story of a talking fox who helps a lowly miller's son rescue a beautiful princess from the fate of having to marry a horrible prince she does not love. But here's the thing, the Brothers Grimm didn't actually write their fairytales in the first place.
AI that can teach? It's already happening
Artificial intelligence could be heading to Australian classrooms -- and in schools overseas, it's already there. In Bahia, Brazil, 15-year-old students David and Roama from Colegio Perfil often start their school day at home, or on the bus. They pick up their phones, log into the education app Geekie Lab, and begin their classes from wherever they are. "You can access it everywhere, as long as you have your phone with you," David said. Students from Colegio Perfil in Bahia use phones or computers to access the Geekie app.
The Activity-Based Workplace: Productivity Anywhere, Anytime, from Any Device
In my previous blog, I wrote that employees these days are hungry for a more dynamic, collaborative workplace experience, one that provides pervasive access to productivity tools so they can work wherever they choose. Create a Great Employee Experience.) Next, we need to consider that work activities flow across not only different workspaces, but also different systems and devices. One minute you need some private office space and a bit of peace and quiet to hammer out a spreadsheet on a PC. Next minute you're in a conference room using your laptop to practice delivery of a presentation and getting feedback from a group of colleagues.
Learning Treatment Regimens from Electronic Medical Records
Appropriate treatment regimens play a vital role in improving patient health status. Although some achievements have been made, few of the recent studies of learning treatment regimens have exploited different kinds of patient information due to the difficulty in adopting heterogeneous data to many data mining methods. Moreover, current studies seem too rigid with fixed intervals of treatment periods corresponding to the varying lengths of hospital stay. To this end, this work proposes a generic data-driven framework which can derive group-treatment regimens from electronic medical records by utilizing a mixed-variate restricted Boltzmann machine and incorporating medical domain knowledge. We conducted experiments on coronary artery disease as a case study. The obtained results show that the framework is promising and capable of assisting physicians in making clinical decisions.

WWE Money In The Bank 2018: Predictions, Match Card, Preview For Wrestling PPV
There's a lot on the line at WWE Money in the Bank 2018, which has clearly become the most important pay-per-view that isn't among the "Big Four." Not only will five titles be defended, but world championship opportunities are also up for grabs Sunday night. Money in the Bank features 10 matches, including Ronda Rousey's first singles match, two ladder matches and a last man standing match. Styles and Nakamura have been feuding for the better part of three months. WWE has had plenty of chances to put the WWE Championship on the Japanese superstar, yet Styles has continued to hold the belt, even with Nakamura's heel turn.
Will artificial intelligence bring a new renaissance?
Artificial intelligence is becoming the fastest disruptor and generator of wealth in history. It will have a major impact on everything. Over the next decade, more than half of the jobs today will disappear and be replaced by AI and the next generation of robotics. AI has the potential to cure diseases, enable smarter cities, tackle many of our environmental challenges, and potentially redefine poverty. There are still many questions to ask about AI and what can go wrong.
'iPal' robot companion for China's lonely children
It speaks two languages, gives math lessons, tells jokes and interacts with children through the tablet screen in its chest--China's latest robot is the babysitter every parent needs. The "iPal" was among a slew of new tech unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show Asia in Shanghai this week, offering education and company for lonely children and peace of mind for adults. The humanoid device stands as tall as a five-year-old, moves and dances on wheels and its eyes keep track of its charges through facial recognition technology. Parents can also remotely talk to and monitor the children through the iPal, which is linked to a smartphone app that allows them to see and hear everything. "The idea for this robot is to be a companion for children," said Tingyu Huang, co-founder of AvatarMind Robot Technology.
