A large share of countries around the world are now using Chinese AI surveillance technology, including facial recognition technology, in full or in part. This is according to a report by Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Many countries are combining Chinese tech with U.S.-made surveillance tech, among them the U.S. and China themselves, but also India, Australia, Brazil and several European countries. Many countries in Latin America, South-East Asia, Africa and the Middle East are relying on Chinese technology alone after participating in the Belt and Road initiative, as is Japan, the only developed country to do so. China is not only a prominent user of AI-powered surveillance and facial recognition but also a big producer and exporter of the technology.

Researchers from Russian corporation Neurobotics and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have found a way to visualize a person's brain activity as actual images mimicking what they observe in real time. This will enable new post-stroke rehabilitation devices controlled by brain signals. The team published its research as a preprint on bioRxiv and posted a video online, showing their "mind-reading" system at work. To develop devices controlled by the brain and methods for cognitive disorder treatment and post-stroke rehabilitation, neurobiologists need to understand how the brain encodes information. A key aspect of this is studying the brain activity of people perceiving visual information, for example, while watching a video.

At the recently held 105th RSNA Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting, International Business Machines Corporation IBM highlighted some of its clients and collaborations for its IBM Watson Health Imaging artificial intelligence (AI) platform. The IBM Watson Health unit is one of the leading platforms engaged in developing AI and data-driven technologies for augmenting healthcare services. The solutions are aimed to effectively respond to some of the most challenges scenarios in healthcare. About Watson Health Imaging's Collaborations At the RSNA event, the IBM Watson Health platform will be showcasing solutions across AI and Machine Learning, Enterprise Imaging, Vendor Neutral Archive, Image Viewing and Sharing as well as PACS. We note that on Oct 30, 2019, Clinical Review 3.0 was launched in the U.K. The solution identifies missed findings by analyzing medical imaging and related reports.

Robotics is the field of engineering that is focused on developing machines – usually by combining knowledge from both the field of mechanics and electronics – that are able to either fully or partly take over tasks that would normally be carried out by humans. As technology advanced, components such as processors, electric motors and different kind of sensors have become increasingly more compact and precise, stimulating the use of robotics in other fields than only that of manufacturing. Robotics, fueled by artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the way we work and interact with technology. Technological advances have drastically changed the capabilities of modern robotics, allowing them to be operational and effective in a wide range of industries. New technologies – such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced computer vision – form the basis of the further development of robotics, allowing them to be used in processes which were, up until today, deemed to only be executable by humans.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has published an extensive study into the hidden techniques and methods used by online service providers to collect and track our personal information and activities. On Monday, as shoppers plundered e-commerce websites for Cyber Monday bargains, the civil and privacy rights outfit released "Behind the One-Way Mirror," outlining corporate surveillance methods with a focus on behind-the-scenes tracking. The paper covers a variety of different tracking methods including browser fingerprinting, invisible pixel images, social widgets, mobile tracking, and facial recognition employed by tech giants including Amazon, Facebook, Google, Twitter, as well as countless data brokers, to "collect information about who we are, what we like, where we go, and who our friends are." Third-party tracking is usually invisible to the naked eye. Code, images, and plugins can all contain functions that track browsing, activities, purchases, the duration of visits, ad engagement, and clicks, and may link up different data sources to create a comprehensive shadow profile of your digital self. According to the EFF, for example, Facebook uses invisible "conversion pixels" to collect data on third-party websites and to track ad engagement; Google uses location information to track user visits to physical stores and makes use of transparent pixel images for tracking, and smart home devices -- including Amazon Echo and Google Home -- can harvest audio data and may be used by human employees to improve voice recognition technologies.

In a move that may forever change the face of education, Reliance Foundation's Jio Institute this week announced that they are launching graduate courses in artificial intelligence, data sciences, and digital media and integrated marketing communications for its first academic year by 2021. Earlier this year, Reliance Industries Ltd had informed the government's Empowered Expert Committee (EEC) that they were investing Rs 1,500 crore in Jio Institute, in the next two years to ensure that it creates a world-class centre of learning. Jio Insitute is reportedly going to build a 40,000 square foot edifice in Navi Mumbai for the same. Jio has revolutionised the Indian telecom sector by ushering in the age of latest data-centric technologies and propelled India into global digital leadership.

Every year, around 50,000 individuals graduate to become certified doctors. In order to maintain the minimum doctor-patient ratio, as suggested by WHO, India will need 2.3 Mn doctors by 2030. If there was ever a requirement to push healthcare in India into the future, it is now! Today is the time when we can see significant disruption in the Indian healthcare industry. Much of this is credited to the level of involvement of artificial intelligence, big data, cloud, machine learning and deep learning, and wearables or fitness trackers which are connecting the organizations with the individuals.

Chatbots have been the latest craze of the modern days. We see a gold rush of companies trying to become the first in their field to successfully deploy a bot. A great proof is a report by Forrester Research revealing that 57% of the companies worldwide are either using chatbots already, or are planning to do so. Chatbots are already being used in marketing, eCommerce and even customer service. Yet isn't it ironic that chatbots are also becoming extremely popular in HR?
