How have publishers evolved and what do they see ahead? Amid rising fears that artificial intelligence (AI) will threaten journalists' jobs and take over the newsroom, the Journalism AI report – a project by Polis in collaboration with Google News Initiative – sought to find out how exactly AI technologies are being applied to journalism. However, AI is a'significant part of journalism already but it is unevenly distributed' and news organizations are already applying aspects of intelligent technology in their operations, to help them work more efficiently and improve monetization. "One of the key aspects of AI and journalism is that it allows the whole journalism model to become more holistic, with a feedback loop between the different parts of the production and dissemination process" Artificial intelligence systems can be useful in helping newsrooms to categorize content or information at scale for different news gathering purposes. For example, since 2015 The Associated Press have been using a management tool, SAM, which algorithmically sifts through social media platforms to alert the newsroom on likely breaking news events.

After years of development, machine learning methods have matured enough to be used in clinical medicine. In 2018 the FDA approved software to screen patients for diabetic retinopathy, and the methods are rapidly making their way into other applications for image analysis, natural language processing, EHR data mining, drug discovery, and more. JAMA is proud to be a primary forum for the work of interdisciplinary groups demonstrating the use of machine learning methods for clinical medicine and health care. To understand the work read JAMA's Users' Guide to the Medical Literature How to Read Articles That Use Machine Learning, authored by Google Health scientists, and an accompanying commentary.

Amazon has announced it has a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that helps convert text to images to aid in searching for products, according to a blog post by the company. "Generative adversarial networks (GANs), which were first introduced in 2014, have proven remarkably successful at generating synthetic images. A GAN consists of two networks, one that tries to produce convincing fakes, and one that tries to distinguish fakes from real examples. The two networks are trained together, and the competition between them can converge quickly on a useful generative model," the post said. Someone who was searching for "women's black pants" could type that in to get an image, but then when they added more words, like "capri" or "petite," new images would show up as well as old ones.

Hardly a week goes by without a report announcing the end of work as we know it. In 2013, Oxford University academics Carl Frey and Michael Osborne were the first to capture this anxiety in a paper titled: "The Future of Employment: How susceptible are jobs to computerisation?". They concluded 47% of US jobs were threatened by automation. Since then, Frey has taken multiple opportunities to repeat his predictions of major labour market disruptions due to automation. In the face of threats to employment, some progressive thinkers advocate jettisoning our work ethic and building a world without work.

New York-based software startup Alkymi recently raised $5 million in a seed round to help financial institutions and other enterprise clients automate back-office workflow. The company, part of INV Fintech's current startup class, calls its automation solution Data Inbox, and uses machine learning that can be applied to various parts of everyday operations, including finance, human resources, sales and IT. For example, by leveraging Alkymi's Data Inbox, a bank could automatically extract and structure data from emails and documents sent by a business client applying for a loan, thus avoiding the need to process that documentation manually. The AI solution works with the enterprise's email platform, file-organization application and document-sharing application used on the job. Alkymi's standard API then connects the data in the applications and emails to the Data Inbox. According to Harald Collet, Cofounder and CEO of Alkymi, businesses struggle to manage data and documents, which is often a repetitive task that gets in the way of higher value tasks.

MARSEILLE, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Traxens, a company that provides high-value data and services for the supply chain industry, announces today that it is now part of the new European DataPorts project, aimed at creating a data platform for cognitive ports of the future. With a total budget of €6.7M ($7.3M), the three-year project will receive €5.7M ($6.2M) from the European Union. It is coordinated by the Technological Institute of Informatics (ITI) in Spain. Today, only three per cent of container terminals are automated. However, the future of the industry points towards smart ports as the best way to overcome the challenges and demands that arise in the sector.

The most promising startups using artificial intelligence are U.S.-based companies working in the fields of health care, retail and transportation, according to a study that looked at budding AI companies around the world. Of the top 100 startups in AI, 65% were based in the U.S., though some of those had dual headquarters in China or elsewhere, according to the analysis by CB Insights, a tech research group that analyzed data on close to 5,000 startups around the world. "These would be companies to watch that are doing really interesting research in AI," said Deepashri Varadharajan, the lead analyst on the report. "Some of them might get acquired. Some might have successful product launches."

Agnieszka Kurant's lower Manhattan studio stands among a scattering of cultural outposts that represent some of the most recent efforts of the avant guard to grapple with our cultural moment. When I visited in late January, a gallery two doors down was hosting a reproductive rights-themed show with works listed for upwards of $30,000. Across the street, four floors of the windowless New Museum were taken over by a retrospective of artist Hans Haacke, which included a demographic survey, a portrait of Ronald Reagan and a grass-covered mound of dirt. The seventh floor was occupied by a "mixed reality pop-up," sponsored by Ruinart champagne, in which visitors could wander about in augmented reality glasses. Minders politely asked those without reservations to "step away from the experience."
