Perhaps in the future, artificial intelligence will intervene and write this article. Perhaps in the future, the editorial team will become redundant and ARN will embrace a form a robo-journalism. Perhaps in the future, it even won't matter, because the entire channel will also be unemployed. And what a different world it would be. For the rise of AI - as the world likes to categorise it - is storming along like a tech freight train, charging through barriers and racing towards a new world. Within this new world, will naturally be new ways to engage, conduct business and make money, creating opportunities and challenges for the channel in parallel.

Some of the world's biggest leaders in science and technology including Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, and Bill Gates, have expressed their concerns about the rapid progression and evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Elon Musk in a CNBC interview stated, "I think that the biggest risk is not that the AI will develop a will of its own… but rather that it will follow the will of people that establish its utility function." Movies like The Terminator, The Matrix, Ex Machina, 2001: A Space Odyssey amongst others, all point to the notion that artificial intelligence will evolve past human intelligence to the point that we will no longer be able to control our own creations. There is an ingrained narrative that AI will somehow reach a level of self-awareness and inevitably then attempt to destroy or replace the human race. And while some of these ideas may seem excessive, or merely the product of media and film exaggeration of AI leading to Terminator-like robots hunting humans like deer, there is enough concern amongst thought leaders such as those mentioned above, to make these concerns highly credible even if there is no certainty about them ever playing out.

Bloq, the blockchain studio led by Jeff Garzik, has acquired Skry, a pioneer in blockchain analytics, to enhance its suite of analysis tools. The move will maximise the value of blockchain data sets through artificial intelligence and machine learning, said a statement. The transaction, which closed on February 24, is Bloq's first acquisition and includes all of Skry's intellectual property and team. Jeff Garzik, CEO and co-founder of Bloq, said: "Blockchain networks need more than a rudimentary finder or explorer. We're ensuring that enterprises won't have to'fly blind' without a complete understanding of the performance, economics and irregularities of their underlying networks."

When Ring of Honor held its first-ever show on Feb. 23, 2002, few could have predicted that it would become one of the world's top professional wrestling promotions. That includes Christopher Daniels, who wrestled in that night's main event. All these years later, Daniels is back with the company and fighting for the Ring of Honor World Championship. He'll have a title match against Adam Cole Friday night at ROH's 15th Anniversary Show, something he didn't see coming when he initially joined the promotion. "When we did that first show, we weren't thinking that we were doing the first show of something that was gonna last 15 years," Daniels told International Business Times. Having begun his career in 1993, Daniels was still working for independent promotions in 2002, looking to make his mark in the world of professional wrestling.

The community is used by more than 800,000 data scientists. Google is set to acquire Kaggle, an Australia-based data science platform for running coding competition. The financial details about the acquisition have not been disclosed. Founded in 2010 by Anthony Goldbloom and Ben Hamner, Kaggle is a platform where data science and machine learning competitions are run. The platform is being used by more than 800,000 data scientists to explore, analyse and understand the latest updates in machine learning and data analytics.

Whether an A.I. ought to be granted patent rights is a timely question given the increasing proliferation of A.I. in the workplace. One might argue that Intellectual Property (IP) laws and IP Rights were designed to exclusively benefit human creators and inventors[7] and thus would exclude non-humans from holding IP rights. However, many IP laws were drafted well before the emergence of A.I. and in any case, do not explicitly require that a creator or inventor be'human.' The World Intellectual Property Organization's (WIPOs) definition of Intellectual Property talks about creations of the mind[9] but does not specify whether it must be a human mind. Similarly, provisions in laws promoting innovation and IP rights, such as the so-called Intellectual Property Clause of the U.S. Constitution[10], also do not explicitly mention a'human' requirement.

Whether or not an artificial intelligence (AI) ought to be granted patent rights is a timely dilemma given the increasing proliferation of AI in the workplace. AI technology has been applied effectively in medical advancements, psycholinguistics, and tourism and food preparation. Even a film written by an AI recently debuted online, and AI has sneaked into the legal profession. One might argue that Intellectual Property (IP) laws and IP Rights were designed to excusively benefit human creators and inventors, and thus would exclude non-humans from holding IP rights. However, many IP laws were drafted well before the emergence of AI, and in any case do not explicitly require that a creator or inventor be'human.'

Uber will stop using its "Greyball" tool to evade law enforcement efforts, the ride-hail company announced Wednesday, just days after it defended the controversial program as necessary to protect its drivers from harm. "We have started a review of the different ways this technology has been used to date," Uber's chief security officer Joe Sullivan wrote in a blog post. "In addition, we are expressly prohibiting its use to target action by local regulators going forward." Uber's backtracking comes less than a week after the New York Times revealed that the company had been serving up an alternative (and non-functioning) version of its app to public officials in cities where its service violated regulations. It also comes shortly after the company reversed course on applying for a permit to test self-driving cars in California.

Knowledge bases are useful resources for many natural language processing tasks, however, they are far from complete. In this paper, we define a novel entity representation as a mixture of its neighborhood in the knowledge base and apply this technique on TransE-a well-known embedding model for knowledge base completion. Experimental results show that the neighborhood information significantly helps to improve the results of the TransE model, leading to better performance than obtained by other state-of-the-art embedding models on three benchmark datasets for triple classification, entity prediction and relation prediction tasks.

Technology is changing the way we live. Innovative products like smartwatches, virtual assistants like Siri and Cortana, and self-driving cars are raising the bar on expectations. So why shouldn't that change be reflected in the way we work? Business Insider spoke to Dave Wright, the chief strategy officer at cloud computing business ServiceNow about what they're doing to improve processes and productivity and the workplace, as well as trends we're likely to see in the future. But first if you're not sure what ServiceNow does, here's how Wright explains it.
