Self-driving cars wearing a Hyundai badge will hit the road inside three years, with the company confirming it will debut an autonomous driving system for highway usage by 2020. The announcement makes Hyundai the car brand with the most affordable range of products to have communicated its roll-out of technology that can drive without human input. However unlike some competitors it has placed caveats on its system. Hyundai Motor Company senior research engineer Byungyong You told Drive that the initial release of its system will be able to accelerate, brake, steer, change lanes and detect any obstacle automatically for an extended period of time, but on highways only. "We are aiming to do highway first and next we will expand it to the urban driving conditions," he said.

The most successful artificial intelligence (AI) systems will be those comprising an emotional intelligence almost indistinguishable from human-to-human interaction, according to Bronwyn van der Merwe, group director at Fjord Australia and New Zealand -- Accenture Interactive's design and innovation arm. While the concept of AI is not new, in 2017 van der Merwe expects emotional intelligence to emerge as the driving force behind what she called the next generation in AI, as humans will be drawn to human-like interaction. As businesses continue to experiment with the Internet of Things, interesting use cases are emerging. Here are some of the most common ways IoT is deployed in the enterprise. Speaking with ZDNet, van der Merwe explained that building on the first phase of AI technology, emotional intelligence enhances AI's ability to understand emotional input, and continually adapt to and learn from information to provide human-like responses in real time.

Building neural networks models and implementing learning consist of lots of math this might be boring. Herein, some tools help researchers to build network easily. Thus, a researcher who knows the basic concept of neural networks can build a model without applying any math formula. So, Weka is one of the most common machine learning tool for machine learning studies. It is a java-based API developed by Waikato University, New Zealand.

The Pacific Ocean might be hiding a whole other continent, Bill Gates wants to tax the robots, and some other robots crash in the midst of a road race. A pretty thrilling Monday morning, we'd say. Funds could help humans find new work when automation takes over. How would you deal with the likelihood that robots and automation will lead to many people losing their jobs? For Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, the answer is straightforward: tax the robots.

Big Data - The ability to capture and process large amounts of data in real time will enhance companies' ability to gain better insights as well as predict customer behaviours. Censors can help understand and respond to customers' reactions in real time. Data scientists will become an in-demand profession! Robots - Software robots will be providing first line customer service and support, not only reducing costs for companies but delivering a better service by continuously learning and getting better through AI, and allowing real agents to focus on the more complex problems. VR & AR - Virtual and mixed reality [Augmented Reality] provide new exciting opportunities.

This kind of question has been on IQ tests for years and the answer, it turns out, depends a good deal on which era you live in. Back in the down-home, cotton-spinning, 19th century you'd be right in thinking you use dogs to hunt rabbits. Shift forward to the glass-fronted skyscrapers of the 20th century Information Age and there was a new right answer; they are both mammals. But, as humans leapfrog into the 21st century of Artificial Intelligence (AI), robots and machine learning, is there an even newer answer? And if so, what is it?

In the hope of bringing internet access to even the most remote corners of the globe, Google parent Alphabet's'Loon' project has taken a big step closer. Alphabet said artificial intelligence-infused navigation software has significantly sped up plans, helping to smartly guide high-altitude balloons to improve coverage. While the firm has not said when it expects the balloons to be up and running, Astro Teller, head of the team at Alphabet unit X said: 'We are looking to move quickly, but to move thoughtfully.' Alphabet said artificial intelligence-infused navigation software has significantly sped up plans, helping to smartly guide high-altitude balloons to improve coverage. Teller said: 'Our timelines are starting to move up on how we can do more for the world sooner.'

Soaring over the world's highest buildings and racing a solar-powered car across the desert may not be on your vacation itinerary this summer, but you can still see what such experiences might be like, thanks to the spectacular new IMAX film, "Dream Big: Engineering Our World." The movie takes audiences from Dubai to Australia, while sharing stirring stories about the impact engineers have on society. Narrated by Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges, it celebrates the inspiring work and people behind these engineering feats. Featured footage includes the Great Wall of China and the Golden Gate Bridge, not to mention an underwater robot developed by a team of students from an underprivileged high school in Phoenix. Made up primarily of Mexican immigrants, the robotics team entered its creation in a competition and succeeded against all odds.

The Defense Department is likely within 18 months of introducing autonomous cybersecurity tools that will be capable of augmenting human analysts by predicting threats, including insider activity, and dynamically isolating parts of the network that may come under attack, the department's outgoing chief information officer said Thursday. Terry Halvorsen, speaking to reporters during his last media roundtable before retiring at the end of the month, said as the department continues deployment of its 12 Joint Regional Security Stacks--a $1.6 billion effort to eliminate hundreds of disparate firewalls with centrally managed commercial security appliances and network monitoring tools--the next major step will be the deployment and testing of AI-based security applications. "Given the volume [of attacks] and where I see the threat moving it will be impossible for humans by themselves to keep pace. We can and we're very close to being able to put more autonomy into the security tools, and we will get to the point within the next 18 months where AI is becoming a key factor in augmenting the human analyst in making those decisions about what to do," Halvorsen said. Halvorsen recently hosted a special meeting of the Five Eyes alliance (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States), plus Germany, Japan, and NATO, at which AI-based cybersecurity was discussed in detail. "This is very real inside the department.

For years organisations around the world have tried to in vain to become a paper-less organisation. The recent surge in digitisation and mobilisation of processes has helped bring many closer, but very few have actually achieved this goal. In fact, it's far more accurate in my view to talk about being a less-paper-reliant organisation than a paper-less one. Many, many organisations still use paper for one reason or another. The question I'd like to raise today, is whether we'll be having the same conversation and experience as regards our people because AI and robots continue their advance?
