Artificial intelligence is here, and it's impacting our lives in real ways -- whether it's the Alexa smart speaker on our nightstand, online customer service chatbots, or the smart replies Google drafts for our emails. But so far, the tech's development has outpaced regulation. Now, government agencies are increasingly encountering AI-based tools, and they must figure out how to evaluate them. Take the Food and Drug Administration, which greenlights new medical products: It needs to review and approve new health care products that boast AI-capabilities -- like this one that promises to detect eye problems related to diabetes -- before they're sold to us. Or consider the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which investigates employment discrimination.

Throughout 2019, technology has continued to have a transformative impact on Indian businesses and communities. From the first deployments of 5G to businesses getting to grips with how they use artificial intelligence (AI), it's been another year of rapid progress. As a testament to this, the digital economy today comprises 14-15% of India's total economy, and is targeted to reach 20% by 2024. From an IT perspective, we have seen two major trends that will continue in 2020. The first is that on-premises and public cloud will increasingly become equal citizens.

Artificial intelligence is at the forefront of the minds of many pharmaceutical and health care executives. We know this because, as life sciences consultants, our clients frequently ask us for advice on how best to navigate AI. But along with enthusiasm in areas as diverse as phenotypic screening, drug repositioning, and analysis of CT scans, we are also finding a growing skepticism: What is real and what is hype? An example often cited by skeptical clients are the problems surrounding IBM Watson Health, especially in the cancer treatment sphere, where reporting by STAT and the Wall Street Journal, among others, has revealed a chasm between the public relations stories and the reality as experienced by clinicians. Now is an appropriate time to ask: What is holding back artificial intelligence in health care and the life sciences?

The Fire TV Cube is Amazon's attempt to combine a smart TV streaming box with an Alexa-powered smart speaker, producing a small black box that doubles as an Echo device. The combination of shiny and matt black plastic makes it stand out at first, but the 86mm-wide and 77mm-tall cube is small enough not to be distracting sitting next to your TV. It's essentially a voice-controlled Echo Dot mated with a Fire TV smart television box. The top resembles an Echo Dot with the same four-way configuration of buttons for volume, muting the microphones and an action button, plus a series of holes for the eight beam-forming mics. A light strip at the top front edge shows what Alexa is doing, lighting up blue when listening, or orange with alerts. Ports are in the back for power, HDMI for your TV (cable sold separately), an optional infrared blaster and a microUSB socket, into which you can plug the included ethernet adapter if you don't want to use wifi to connect to the internet.

In a televised address to the nation from the White House, Trump emphasized there were "no Americans harmed" in the ballistic missile salvo aimed at two bases on Wednesday. While he promised to immediately impose "punishing" new economic sanctions on Tehran, Trump welcomed signs the Islamic republic "appears to be standing down" in the tit-for-tat confrontation. The comments cooled what threatened to become an uncontrolled boiling over of tensions after Trump ordered the killing last Friday of a top Iranian general, Qassem Soleimani. The president, facing both an impeachment trial in Congress and a tough re-election in November, defended his targeting of a man seen by many as Iran's second-most-influential official. Soleimani, a national hero at home, was "the world's top terrorist" and "should have been terminated long ago," Trump said.

If you've ever worried about perfectly capturing your kids next big sporting event, PowerVision, an innovative purveyor of drone and AI technology, has some good news. A new product unveiled by the company at CES in Las Vegas called the Power Egg X, is a new breed of AI-powered camcorder that can be attached to a drone and follow a subject without any human intervention. PowerVision, which has made similar products - previously a larger 4.6 lbs drone-mounted camera - is being billed as multi-function device that can be used as an autonomous AI camera, that can be wielded handheld or via a high-flying drone. A demonstration from the company at CES (pictured above) showed the device's ability to track various kinds of motion including demonstrators doing yoga, swinging and playing basketball Though fixing a camera to a drone is anything but new, it's the technology PowerVision couples with its new system that separates it from the field. With the help of a proprietary algorithm, the PowerEgg X can use facial recognition, deep learning, and a tracking a 170 field of view to track subjects and ensure they're always be in the middle of the video frame, This ability, says the company, would be useful in situations where a subject is in relatively fast motion, like playing sports, dancing, or running.

Delta may be known for its airplanes, but a new and surprisingly dexterous exoskeleton may be their next product to take off. The suit, called the Guardian XO, is a relatively small full-body exoskeleton that the company envisions will be used for heavy duty construction and commercial applications that requires brute strength. In a demonstration of the all-electric suit at CES in Las Vegas - the first ever public demo of the device - Delta and its partner Sarcos Robotics showed off the exoskeleton's capabilities. The demonstrator - a moderately sized young man by the name of Ben - strapped himself into the suit in just a couple minutes and started the first trial. 'It's a pretty comfortable machine, I can move around as if I wasn't wearing this,' said Ben who told the audience that he had only been training with the suit for about four months.

When a survey in 2015 revealed that more than half of Guangzhou's female commuters had experienced some form of sexual harassment ("inappropriate touching") on public transport, a handful of Chinese cities began reserving subway cars for female commuters. But the designated carriages, which were sometimes labelled in pink Chinese characters with floral adornments, did little to deter men from squeezing aboard. "When everyone is rushing to work, no one cares whether it is a female-only car or not," one commuter complained on weibo. Indeed, many men have either blatantly ignored the restrictions or were oblivious to women-only subway carriages. Enforcement has lacked teeth – in part because the metro system is so overcrowded.

A driverless car is displayed during a Google event in San Francisco in 2016. The Trump administration rolled out new non-binding guidelines Wednesday for regulating driverless cars and trucks -- its second move this week to advance a light-touch approach to tech regulation that contrasts with the strategy key European leaders are advocating. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao used the big CES technology conference in Las Vegas to announce the driverless-vehicle guidelines, which her department developed in conjunction with the White House. They come just two days after the White House issued a broader set of draft principles for federal agencies' treatment of artificial intelligence, which President Donald Trump's advisers say should avoid "preemptive, burdensome or duplicative rules." The twin moves came during a week when three Cabinet secretaries and Trump's daughter Ivanka were scheduled to make appearances at the CES conference.
