Yochay is an experienced tech leader with a background in building and designing products. He received a BSc in Computer Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI) where he founded the HUJI Innovation Lab. Leah earned a BSc in Computer Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem while simultaneously working as a software team leader at WatchDox, which was later acquired by Blackberry. In her last position, she lead the startup, Appoint, as CTO – and has followed her career consulting enterprises on AI and Machine Learning. It has become eminently clear in the business world that AI adoption is key to remaining competitive in 2020.

In the early 1970s, the fledgling credit card industry routinely and shortsightedly held cardholders liable for fraudulent transactions, even if their cards had been lost or stolen. In response, Congress passed the 1974 Fair Credit Billing Act to limit cardholder liability. This protection increased public trust in the new payment system and spurred growth and innovation. Because they could no longer just pass fraud losses on to cardholders, payment networks devised one of the first commercial applications of neural networks to detect out-of-pattern card usage and reduce their fraud losses. Smart regulation, like the above example, that gets out in front of emerging technology can protect consumers and drive innovation.

Artificial intelligence, or AI, often brings to mind hospitality robots and self-driving cars -- the shiny, flashy machines effortlessly performing everyday tasks with superhuman speed and efficiency. Yet, peek under the hood, and you'll find the real magic. It's here that AI has a different meaning as the DNA of data that fills in the gaps. The sentient pieces of metal might dominate popular imagination, but in today's world, AI is more likely to be an obscured yet essential building block of any business. Most organizations understand the importance of using data to reduce costs and serve clients and customers effectively, but what happens when the data is too voluminous to understand?

A prototype of the unreleased'Nintendo PlayStation' console has sold for $360,000 (£273,096) at auction – nearly $1 million less than an earlier rejected offer. The super-rare console, which was sold with a Sony-branded SNES controller and cartridge that enables CD-Rom functionality, was sold by Dallas-based auction house Heritage Auctions on Friday. The collectors' item is a rare artefact from a brief collaboration between Japanese gaming giants Sony and Nintendo before they took separate paths in the video game market. The winner bidder was entrepreneur and video game collector Greg McLemore, who beat out other bidders including Palmer Luckey, founder of Facebook's Oculus VR platform. The previous owner of the prototype had reportedly turned down $1.2 million to put it up for auction – meaning he's missed out on nearly $850,000.

Let's talk about our current tech revolution and women's involvement in it. These are troubling times, on multiple fronts. Something we need to remind ourselves on a regular basis especially for those in the tech industry and tech leadership. I was reading a few articles about this topic and would like to discuss two points. I dug a little more to find the source of that 97% and found a more complete list of all the jobs that could go away with automation in an article in The Telegraph entitled "These are the jobs most at risk of automation according to Oxford University: Is yours one of them?" Word to the wise, if yours is on the top of the list, start looking for a safer alternative by scrolling down, way down.

India is shifting quickly to become digital on the backdrop of a robust foundation of IT industry and swiftly moving on the cusp of a data revolution. An average Indian today consumes approximately 8.3 GB data per month, a 92 per cent increase compared to the data consumption four years ago, and by 2022 the per capita data consumption is expected to touch 14 GB. By 2022, the next half billion Indians will come online for the first time through their mobile phones. The immense digital presence of Indians in terms of 1.25 billion Aadhaar, 1.2 billion mobile phones and 1 billion bank accounts requires colossal digital infrastructure for storage and processing of data. This massive amount of data appetite of a digital-first nation has opened magnificent avenues for businesses and government alike.

A driverless car running on roads may sound like a screen taken from a sci-fi movie. However, fiction is turning into reality, and we thank Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the same. AI technology complements the very concept of self-driving cars. Elon Musk had predicted in 2017 that all the cars will be autonomous in 10 years without any steering wheel. We are quite close to bringing this prediction into reality in just a short time frame of 4 years. Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Bosch, Nissan, General Motors, and Continental Automotive Systems, among others, are some of the automotive players striving to gain the first-mover's advantage in the market through the development of autonomous cars, using the prowess of AI.

At Aptiv, we believe that our mobility solutions have the power to change the world. Our Autonomous Mobility team is focused on developing and commercializing self-driving cars and systems that enable point-to-point mobility in challenging urban driving environments. With talented teams working across the globe in Boston, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, Santa Monica, and Singapore, Aptiv is the first company to deploy commercial robotaxis to the public. Today, Aptiv has provided over 80,000 autonomous rides to members of the public passengers in Las Vegas -- the world's largest public deployment of self-driving vehicles. In September 2019, Aptiv announced a 50/50 joint venture with Hyundai Motor Group, bringing together HMG and Aptiv's advanced engineering and R&D capabilities, our global footprint, and shared commitment to advancing autonomous driving technology.

The rapid entry of artificial intelligence is stretching the boundaries of medicine. It will also test the limits of the law. Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used in health care to flag abnormalities in head CT scans, cull actionable information from electronic health records, and help patients understand their symptoms. At some point, AI is bound to make a mistake that harms a patient. When that happens, who -- or what -- is liable?

What do we need to consider about a future where artificial intelligence (AI) and tech have transformed the way we live? That was exactly what we pondered when I recently spoke with Jamie Susskind, barrister, speaker and award-winning author of Future Politics: Living Together in a World Transformed by Tech. Digitization is challenging the way we live. These changes create conveniences and ways of problem-solving that were never possible before. Along with the positives, there are also challenges that need to be overcome.
