Artificial Intelligence has been one of the most hyped technologies of the decade, with millions of articles, reports, blogs and conferences discussing the topic from every possible angle. But what's the state of artificial intelligence applications right now – especially when it comes to'real world' uses? While fully intelligent general AI remains a long way off, we have seen some impressive uses of machine learning, chatbots and even image recognition technology being released in the last couple of years. Much of the cutting-edge research is still at the academic level, but we have started to see artificial intelligence applications being launched by and used in narrower application in businesses. Let's look at some examples of how AI is being used in the'real world'.

The CECIMO General Assembly elected Dr Hans-Martin Schneeberger as President of CECIMO for a period of two years on 5 December 2019 in Brussels. His term will focus on the setting of global standards and the uptake of Artificial Intelligence. Succeeding in this role Dr Roland Feichtl, Dr Hans-Martin Schneeberger has been entrusted with the responsibility of leading the European Association that represents more than a third of the world machine tool (MT) production. In a highly competitive and uncertain global market, CECIMO and its members have to convey, to both the national and European institutions, the clear message that industry is vital for the future development of Europe. "The machine tool sector" he said "can contribute to the health of the European industry by shaping the next EU regulatory initiatives and policies".

On Thursday 28th November HPE & NVIDIA hosted more than 50 people from across the Media sector to get to grips with the impact Artificial Intelligence will have. It was great to see such a large audience for the event and high levels of interest around AI. Throughout the afternoon we had an unprecedented number of questions across a broad variety of topics. It became clear that most of companies represented in the audience feel they are only at the beginning of their AI journey. However, with so much hype and promise around AI a lot of people are keen to get down to the nitty-gritty, which means asking the questions like; where are we with AI today and how can it help me? AI today can tackle two main areas; creation of content and analytics & indexation of existing content, with creation having the greater promise but being the more challenging to achieve.

Finland is opening up a wildly popular Elements of Artificial Intelligence online course to all EU citizens. The announcement was made in Brussels on Tuesday to mark the approaching end of Finland's presidency of the Council of the EU. Finland assumed the rotating six-month presidency in July this year, shortly after the Antti Rinne administration assumed office. Rinne has since stepped down as Prime Minister and now heads a caretaker administration until a new cabinet is sworn in on Tuesday. The government said that the goal of the project is attract one percent of EU citizens – five million people – to complete the course in 2020 and 2021.

Tengai is a Swedish recruiting bot, one of many emerging corporate recruiting tools that are changing the face of the hiring process. From relying on predictive analytics and chatbots to using enhanced candidate vetting strategies, the recruiting industry is shedding old habits and trying some potentially game-changing new approaches as a younger, tech-driven generation of workers and managers slides into the driver's seat. These solutions come at a time when a percolating economy and robust job market are placing more pressure on HR recruitment efforts.

An overwhelming majority of the American public believes that artificial intelligence (AI) should be carefully managed. Nevertheless, as the three case studies in this brief show, the public does not agree on the proper regulation of AI applications. Indeed, population-level support of an AI application may belie opposition by some subpopulations. Many AI applications, such as facial recognition technology, could cause disparate harm to already vulnerable subgroups, particularly ethnic minorities and low-income individuals. In addition, partisan divisions are likely to prevent government regulation of AI applications that could be used to influence electoral politics.

Key Questions Answered in this Report: • What is the estimated global artificial intelligence in agriculture market size in terms of value during the period 2018-2024? Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Agriculture Market Forecast, 2019-2024 The Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Agriculture Market Analysis projects the market to grow at a significant CAGR of 28.38% during the forecast period from 2019 to 2024. The reported growth in the market is expected to be driven by the increasing need to optimize farm operation planning, growing demand to derive insights from emerging complexities of data-driven farming, and rising development of autonomous equipment in agriculture. Artificial intelligence has emerged to be a strong driving force behind the growth of data-driven farming.Regions and countries where agriculture is the major source of livelihood and sustenance, the artificial intelligence technology has led to greater profitability in the farms of those economies. The reduction in expenditure and resultant positive RoI with AI's integration in farm equipment and operations has even reached above 30% in a few countries.

Artificial intelligence is here, and it's being put to work across all manner of industries and applications. While the technology still has someway to go before we see machines capable of true independent thought and decision-making, what we do have is sending waves through the business world. While only 23 percent of businesses have incorporated the technology into the products and services they offer right now, a massive 83 percent have named AI as a strategic priority for the near future. Global spending on cognitive and AI systems is estimated to reach $57.6 billion in 2021 and the AI market is set to grow to become a $190 billion industry by 2025. What are the benefits of AI to businesses according to industry experts?
