Amadeus is launching a new set of artificial intelligence (AI) Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) as part of the Amadeus for Developers programme, which the global travel technology firm claims will help in "empowering startups and independent developers to gain an edge". These APIs will allow developers to build solutions that can predict travel intent, traveller behaviour, and flight delays, among others – without needing any prior background in AI or data. Amadeus claimed that it is the first time in the travel industry that AI capabilities are made available to startups and independent developers via open APIs. The firm is providing ready-to-implement predictive models based on insights and functionalities fed by its sources of travel data. These APIs enable travel innovators to create AI-based apps with brand new features and disruptive business models that can transform the travel experience, said the company.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of software to think and solve problems in a human-like way, and to perform or act in a human-like manner. AI has potential to make a valuable contribution to various fields including space, education, sports, finance, construction, healthcare and many more. The healthcare AI industry has been receiving a great deal of attention--scientists and experts are very interested in the prospect of machines which can copy human intelligence. AI has already given some undeniably great performances, in some cases even better than a human. One such example is the DeepMind project at Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

A video created by Deloitte Consulting some moons ago aptly describes why Regulatory Tech or RegTech as it was affectionately called would go beyond being just a part of FinTech. In other words, it has moved way beyond being just a buzzword half-a-decade ago, thanks to ever-increasing costs of compliance coupled with the growing list of stringent regulations in the entrepreneurial world. Today there are several players who offer these solutions with real-time compliance analytics that support enterprises and regulators while protecting consumer interests. One such name is Bahwan CyberTek, a player that ideates on new regulations and risk management principles and brings innovative solutions to meet the ever increasing demands of compliance within the financial industry. In an exclusive interaction with CXOToday, Jaya Vaidhyanathan, President, Bahwan CyberTek, explains why RegTech is on the rise and why it matters in the age of compliance.

Colorectal cancer is the second most common type of cancer worldwide with about 90% of cases occurring in people 50 or older. Arising from the inner surface, or muscosal layer, of the colon, cancerous cells can penetrate through the deeper layers of the colon and spread to other organs. Left untreated, the disease is fatal. Current colon cancer screening is performed by flexible colonoscopy. The procedure involves visual inspection of the mucosal lining of the colon and rectum with a camera mounted on an endoscope.

"Mitchell knows what she's talking about. Artificial Intelligence has significantly improved my knowledge when it comes to automation technology, [but] the greater benefit is that it has also enhanced my appreciation for the complexity and ineffability of human cognition."―John "Without shying away from technical details, this survey provides an accessible course in neural networks, computer vision, and natural-language processing, and asks whether the quest to produce an abstracted, general intelligence is worrisome . . . Mitchell's view is a reassuring one." "In Mitchell's telling, artificial intelligence (AI) raises extraordinary issues that have disquieting implications for humanity. AI isn't for the faint of heart, and neither is this book for nonscientists . . . "Artificial intelligence can trounce you at chess, but will mistake a school bus for an ostrich or make bizarre connections between birds and hydrants.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning are used to power a variety of important modern software technologies. AI also powers the facial recognition software commonly used by law enforcement, landlords, and private citizens. Of all the uses for AI-powered software, facial recognition is a big deal. Security teams from large buildings that rely on video surveillance – like schools and airports – can benefit greatly from this technology. An AI algorithm has the potential to detect a known criminal or an unauthorized person on the property.

The South Korean Go champion Lee Se-dol has retired from professional play, telling Yonhap news agency that his decision was motivated by the ascendancy of AI. "With the debut of AI in Go games, I've realized that I'm not at the top even if I become the number one through frantic efforts," Lee told Yonhap. "Even if I become the number one, there is an entity that cannot be defeated." For years, Go was considered beyond the reach of even the most sophisticated computer programs. The ancient board game is famously complex, with more possible configurations for pieces than atoms in the observable universe. This reputation took a knock in 2016 when the Google-owned artificial intelligence company DeepMind shocked the world by defeating Se-dol four matches to one with its AlphaGo AI system.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant global cause of mortality and morbidity with an increasing incidence, especially in low-and-middle income countries. The most severe TBIs are treated in intensive care units (ICU), but in spite of the proper and high-quality care, about one in three patients dies. Patients that suffer from severe TBI are unconscious, which makes it challenging to accurately monitor the condition of the patient during intensive care. In the ICU, many tens of variables are continuously monitored (e.g. However, only one variable, such as intracranial pressure, may yield hundreds of thousands of data points per day.

Fueled by mobster movies and international espionage thrillers, the phrase has a mysterious, exciting edge to it. But as is often the case, the truth is far less appealing than the glitzy Hollywood version. In reality, money laundering is an activity that traps 40.3 million people in modern slavery, fuels political unrest, and finances terrorism across the globe. Considering the consequences, it's no wonder governments enact AML regulations. And just as money laundering crime grows more sophisticated, so too do the regulations. These regulations have honorable and important intentions, but there's no denying the ever-evolving compliance headaches they create for financial institutions.

The course rating is 4.5.
