Couples who live together suggest that greater equality in earning income and sharing of household chores is linked to greater relationship stability and having sex more often. Other research suggests that men who eschew traditional cultural scripts of romance tend to have more satisfying and committed relationships. Gender equality in relationships doesn't mean that we lose the romance. A range of tests are available, to analyse everything from racism and sexism to ageism.


Mozilla, With Revenue Up 28%, Maps An Ambitious Agenda

Forbes - Tech

One of Silicon Valley's most idiosyncratic players -- the Mozilla Foundation -- just reported a 28% leap in revenue for 2015, to $421 million, with cash flow more than tripling, to about $80 million. Further increases appear likely this year. In a section of its newly released annual report, called The State of Mozilla, the foundation said that in 2017, Mozilla will invest in more mobile-product development and will build a recommender system for the web, known as Context Graph. Mozilla also said that in 2017 it will launch its first Internet Health Report. This will examine "the state of the open internet . . .

Robots and the Future of Jobs: The Economic Impact of Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

I want to make one point, that this is on the record. But we're going to have a great time discussing "Robots and the Future of Jobs: The Economic Impact of Artificial Intelligence." So I'll start with simple introductions, and then we'll lay out some definitions about the kinds of terms that will be involved in this conversation. So my name is John Paul Farmer. Very happy to be here with three experts on the topic. Next to me is Dr. James Manyika, who is a recovering roboticist. And his day job is at McKinsey, at the McKinsey Global Institute, where he's been focusing on the future of jobs and the future of work in this new era. In the middle, we have Dr. Daniela Rus. Dr. Rus is a professor and roboticist at MIT, and she is also the director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab there. And at the end, we have Edwin van Bommel. Edwin is formerly of McKinsey, but now he's the chief cognitive officer at IPsoft. So, with that, let me lay out some definitions that are going to be important, I think, to following this conversation. You may have read in Foreign Affairs and elsewhere about this fourth industrial revolution, the changes that are happening in our society today and many more that will be coming down the pike. So as we--as we talk about these things, one, we should all be on the same page in terms of what artificial intelligence is. What do we mean when we say AI? And the definition that many accept is it's the development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and even translation between languages. AI is sometimes humorously referred to as whatever computers can't do today. Machine learning is another term you're going to hear a lot, sometimes thought of as a rebranding of AI, of artificial intelligence. But there's one key difference, which is that it takes a much more probabilistic approach as opposed to deterministic. So it looks at not just yes or no; it looks at a 30 percent chance of X, a 10 percent chance of Y, and so on. Big data, a term that I think we've all heard. Data is the raw material. Some people call it the new oil for this new era.

Earthquakes Will Be as Predictable as Hurricanes Thanks to AI

#artificialintelligence

In the fall of 2010, I traveled to New Zealand, and one of the places I visited was the small south island city of Christchurch. I was charmed by the tree-lined Avon River, the English-style cathedral in the main square, and the mountains looming in the distance. Inside the cathedral was a stack of poems with a moving message of peace. I saved one to tack on my cork board at home, where it remains to this day. Three months later I turned on the news to see the Christchurch cathedral splintered and broken, its spire crumbled to the ground.


Lunchtime liaisons

BBC News

Would you go on a business date at work? Would you think I was weird if I told you I did? Some apps are making this possible, so I decided to try it out. As a family man who has just entered his 40s, I am not going to be arranging romantic liaisons on my smartphone. But maybe I haven't completely missed the boat when it comes to the thrill of swiping, matching and meeting up with strangers. Shapr is an app that works like the dating app Tinder, but it's for making business connections rather than romantic ones.


Brazilian group Tivit splits IT and BPO functions ZDNet

#artificialintelligence

Brazilian IT services and business process outsourcing firm Tivit has decided to separate its two core service areas in order to drive growth and provide a better customer offering. As a result of the split of the two areas, a new BPO company has been created. Neobpo will have two business streams: one focused on traditional services such as back office, CRM and receivables and another focused on digital services including automation through an artificial intelligence platform provided by Tivit. According to the company's co-founder Luiz Mattar, the split had been under consideration for the last couple of years. As far and fast as cloud computing is embedding itself into the enterprise, there remain many cloud-resistant applications and services.
