As the world continues to fight the novel coronavirus, every section of the society is playing its role. Medical professionals, law enforcement officers, and essential workers are on the frontline of this battle, while researchers, data scientists, and community leaders are also doing their part. There has been a recent increased emphasis on how AI can boost humanity's efforts in this on-going crisis. Experts believe Artificial Intelligence can analyze published literature on the disease, study structure and DNA of the virus, and recommend existing drugs or find a new one (in the latter case, it would take almost two years for the drug to be approved by the FDA). There has also been a discussion on how AI can help governments be smart about social distancing policies.

A preprint paper published by researchers at the University of California, San Deigo; Carnegie Mellon University; and the University of California, Davis proposes AI chatbots that generate responses to patient questions about the coronavirus. The team trained the models underpinning these chatbots on a data set in English and one in Chinese. The data sets contained conversations between doctors and patients talking about the coronavirus, and the researchers claim experiments demonstrate that their approach to meaningful medical dialogues is "promising." As the coronavirus rages on around the world, some hospitals are discouraging unnecessary visits to prevent the risk of cross-infection. Telemedical apps and services have consequently been overwhelmed by an influx of patients.

Under head of state and ruling Communist Party leader Xi Jinping's leadership, China has been able to "put the outbreak under control through arduous efforts and has been gradually resuming economic and social life while undertaking prevention and control measures on a regular basis," Wang was quoted as saying in a phone call Thursday with the foreign ministers of Hungary, Estonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Starting today through to May 21st, the standalone versions of Ubisoft's Discovery Tour: Ancient Greece and Discovery Tour: Ancient Egypt are free to download on PC as part of the company's Play Your Part, Play at Home campaign to help teachers and students during the coronavirus pandemic. They allow you to explore Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey's game worlds without worrying about combat or mission objectives. Along the way, they'll teach you about the historical periods they take place in. In the example of the Ancient Egypt experience, you'll learn more about what life was like in along the Nile delta during the waning years of the Ptolemaic dynasty. The company worked with professional historians to create the experiences and incorporated a variety of primary sources like archival photos into each tour.

Another 3 million US citizens filed for unemployment benefits last week, bringing the total to 36.5 million since mid-March, about 22 per cent of the US workforce. The total number of people who have lost their jobs is likely to be an underestimate because many states still have a backlog of claims to get through. Brazil has become a hotspot for coronavirus infections as the country confirmed a record 11,385 daily coronavirus cases and 749 more deaths yesterday. The total number of confirmed cases is now more than 190,000, the sixth highest in the world. Doctors in the country say a lack of adequate testing means the true number of cases could be ten times higher. A coronavirus antibody test developed by Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche has been approved for use by Public Health England. UK health minister Edward Argar said the test "appears to be extremely reliable". Unlike other forms of testing, antibody tests detect whether someone has been previously infected with the ...

You might've seen people on the internet saying "it's like my autocomplete gets me." Indeed, Keyboard protection AI has come a long way so much so that it can almost complete your sentences. So, why shouldn't developers get the benefit of auto-complete too? For years, IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) have tried to make development quicker by predicting the next part of a developer's code. Now, startups like Codota are using AI to help developers with code completion on any code editor.

Last year, a factory in China replaced 90% of its workers with robots. In call centers across the world, AI voices are replacing human customer service agents. Eventually, taxi and Uber drivers could be replaced by self-driving cars. The displacement of workers by technological advances is nothing new. Media theorist Douglas Rushkoff's new book Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus traces the origins of "digital industrialism," which has increasingly removed humans from the equation, granting power to corporations and stakeholders instead.

Artificial intelligence (AI) software has always received most of the attention, however, as the computational resources required to process this software skyrocket, a new generation of hardware is being created endowed with artificial intelligence. Some experts have named this evolution "Cambrian explosion", referring to the current period of fervent innovation. Today, AI's range of innovative hardware accelerator architectures continues to expand. Although you tend to think that graphics processing units (GPUs) are the most advanced dominant AI hardware architecture, that's far from true. Over the past few years, both start-ups and established vendors have introduced an impressive generation of new hardware architectures optimized for machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing and other much more advanced Artificial Intelligence workloads.

Colocation giant Digital Realty deepened its ties to Nvidia with a service that allows enterprises to deploy Nvidia-powered artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning workloads on Digital Realty's data center platform. Nvidia launched its DGX-Ready Data Center program last year with 19 data center partners including Digital Realty. The AI partner program gives customers access to Nvidia's AI infrastructure inside the colocation providers' facilities. Meanwhile, Digital Realty in November announced PlatformDigital. At launch the data center platform offered customers four new services that they could deploy on top of PlatformDigital.
