Digital Bulletin UiPath - Software Robots: the answer to a more productive, engaged workforce
The business landscape is currently facing a period of uncertainty and unrest. Ongoing Brexit tensions have cut the productivity of UK companies and created a crucial need for increased productivity – which Robotic Process Automation (RPA) could help provide. New technologies like RPA are becoming more common in offices, resulting in an increase in business process efficiency. Specifically, RPA's ability to execute rules-based office tasks is resulting in employee time being freed up for more meaningful, strategic tasks, ultimately helping boost engagement, productivity and happiness. RPA and new technologies are also ushering in a new world of work: according to the World Economic Forum, 65% of children now entering primary school will hold jobs that currently don't exist.
Cafe staffed by robots opens in Japan
On Thursday, SoftBank Robotics opened the Pepper PARLOR, a cafe where three different types of robots work alongside human staff to serve and entertain customers. "[The] aim is to create a space where people can easily experience the coexistence of people and robots and enjoy the evolution of robots and the future of living with robots," the company told ZDNet. "We want to make robots not only for convenience and efficiency, but also to expand the possibilities of people and bring happiness." SoftBank developed all three of the robots working in the Pepper PARLOR, including the cafe's eponym, Pepper. That semi-humanoid robot does most of the interacting with customers, greeting them and taking their orders.

Innovation Now Disrupts 5X More Jobs Annually (But There Is Good News)
Artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation is disrupting between 5 and 10% of jobs annually, according to Julia Lamm, a partner at PriceWaterhouseCoopers. "30% of jobs are are high risk of displacement by 2030," Lamm said at TechBeach Retreat in Jamaica. "55% of people are worried automation or other innovation will take their job away." Lamm was talking about the future of work, an ongoing concern in a world where upwards of 40% of all jobs are projected to be at risk of automation. And where AI is projected to impact 500 million jobs globally in the next five years. The good news is that 74% of people are willing to be "reskilled," Lamm said.
Facebook speeds up mapping data validation with machine learning tools Map With AI and RapiD
Millions of roads around the world have yet to be mapped, and that's a real problem, particularly in the developing world. Missing map data can harm disaster response, community planning, and local economies. And while government-run and tax-funded projects like the U.K.'s Ordnance Survey have produced enormous corpora, they've largely failed to freely and widely distribute them. That's motivated crowdsourcing efforts like OpenStreetMap, which recruit thousands of volunteers to catalog roads, buildings, and bridges every day. It's an arduous process, but one buoyed by Facebook, which has worked with communities and partners to fine-tune a tool -- Map With AI -- that automates several of the most time-consuming steps.
How AI Helped Decode Ancient Geoglyphic Etchings In Peru
Trapezoids, triangles and many other geometric shapes -- that's what one would see if they flew a drone over the high desert in Peru, South America. These giant geometric figures resemble birds, insects and other living beings. These are the famous Nazca lines which were discovered in the 1920s. In total, there are over 800 straight lines and 300 geometric figures. Archaeologists have been studying these lies ever since their discovery and still continue to do so till date.
Countries need artificial intelligence to cope with changing world: Minister
There will be a "new world disorder" if nations don't adapt to artificial intelligence (AI), a top government official told a digital conference in Abu Dhabi. Speaking at the Digital Next Summit which kicked off on Sunday, Omar bin Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, said the world is witnessing a shift in all aspects of society. "AI is now being used in all spheres and it is transforming every walk of life. This requires all governments to adapt to new technologies as fast as possible to cope with the changing world," Al Olama said. "AI is applied in national security, finance, healthcare, education, criminal justice, transportation, smart cities, and elsewhere."
Prestigious Pyongyang university now running specialist Japanese language and literature courses
Kim Il Sung University set up specialist Japanese language and literature courses in the spring of 2017, it was learned Saturday from the university. The training course for Japanese researchers was established at the prestigious institution in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, at a time when the rogue state was repeatedly testing nuclear weapons and launching ballistic missiles. That period continued until the fall of 2017 and led to heightened tensions with the United States. There is a possibility that it was judged necessary to strengthen the development of such experts in view of future diplomacy with Japan. Japan and North Korea maintain no diplomatic relations.
Harnessing Artificial Intelligence
AI has the ability to transform every aspect of our lives, from automating our homes and informing commercial decisions to performing complex surgery. The applications of AI are far and wide, but how can we leverage this emerging technology for business? Professor Whittle is an experienced research and education leader – and a world-renowned software engineering specialist. Formerly the Technical Area Lead at NASA Ames Research Center, he's received extensive recognition including two 10-year research impact awards and the CEO Magazine's 2019 Education Executive of the Year award. Dr Catherine is an industry leader and educator in big data, machine learning and analytical management.
IDC predicts AI spending to close in on $100 billion within five years
The report, the Worldwide Artificial Intelligence Spending Guide, said that in 2019, worldwide spending on AI is expected to be $37.5 billion, but that this amount will almost treble by 2023, hitting just a smidgeon less than $100 billion -- $97.9 billion. Not only does the IDC report present good news for AI, it also refers to the machine learning phrase -- or ML, a nod to those who work in the business and are often quite frustrated by the over use of the AI acronym with all its connotations with hype. David Schubmehl, research director at Cognitive/Artificial Intelligence Systems at IDC said: "The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) is occurring in a wide range of solutions and applications from ERP and manufacturing software to content management, collaboration, and user productivity. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are top of mind for most organisations today, and IDC expects that AI will be the disrupting influence changing entire industries over the next decade." The IDC report said that investment in AI will be led by retail and banking industries.
