The world right now is seeing a global AI revolution across all industry. And one of the driving factor of this AI revolution is Deep Learning. Thanks to giants like Google and Facebook, Deep Learning now has become a popular term and people might think that it is a recent discovery. But you might be surprise to know that history of deep learning dates back to 1940s. Indeed, deep learning has not appeared overnight, rather it has evolved slowly and gradually over seven decades.

The Global AI bootcamp is a free one-day event organized by local communities all over the world that are passionate about Artificial Intelligence on the Microsoft stack. The event takes place on the 14th of December on venues all over the world and as well as in Colombo supported by Microsoft. The event is the perfect balance between quality content, awesome lectures, getting your hands dirty and learn & share with other community members. Dive in and learn how to implement intelligence into your solutions with the Microsoft AI platform, including pre-trained AI services like Cognitive Services and Bot Framework, as well as deep learning tools like Azure Machine Learning, Visual Studio Code Tools for AI, and Cognitive Toolkit. During this AI bootcamp you will get inspired through sessions and get your hands dirty during the workshops.

The Research Insights recently published a new comprehensive report titled the Artificial Intelligence in Digital Marketing Market. This report uses investigative primary and secondary research techniques to arrive at inferences. Researchers of the Artificial Intelligence in Digital Marketing Market report throw light on economic factors that affect the progress of the market. It includes some online and offline activities suggestions for branding the businesses strategized by our team of expert analysts. Artificial intelligence (AI) is science that deals with building intelligent machines that can think and respond like a human.

AI brings mixed emotions and opinions when referenced in the context of jobs. If you ask the question "Do you think Artificial Intelligence will be a net job killer or net job creator?" to colleagues, friends, or strangers you're bound to get some very strong opinions on this subject. For sure you will hear an interesting and conflicting set of opinions that range from "AI will destroy all jobs as we know it" to "AI will enable us to work better and do new things we've never been able to do". If you look at various economic and analyst predictions, their assessments are all over the place, ranging from dramatic job losses across most economic sectors to large increases in employment due to dramatic increases in job productivity. Of course, as with everything, the true answer will be somewhere in the middle.

Before the year 2014, there were many people using Google, Facebook, and Amazon. Today, there are still many people using services from those three tech giants (respectively, GOOG, FB, AMZN). Not much has changed, and quite literally the user interface and features on those sites has remained mostly untouched. However, the underlying dynamics of power on the Web have drastically changed, and those three companies are at the center of a fundamental transformation of the Web. It looks like nothing changed since 2014, but GOOG and FB now have direct influence over 70% of internet traffic. Internet activity itself hasn't slowed down. What has changed over the last 4 years is market share of traffic on the Web.

Spheres journal #6 hosts two essays by Matteo Pasquinelli and Ariana Dongus on "The Spectre of Artificial Intelligence". Pasquinelli's essay is a condensed introduction to machine learning and its limitations that has been widely discussed with HfG students during the course "Exploring the Limits of Artificial Intelligence". Dongus' essay on data accumulation in biometric capitalism is part of her doctoral research at HfG and can be read here. Matteo Pasquinelli, "How a Machine Learns and Fails: A Grammar of Error for Artificial Intelligence". The Enlightenment was […] not about consensus, it was not about systematic unity, and it was not about the deployment of instrumental reason: what was developed in the Enlightenment was a modern idea of truth defined by error, a modern idea of knowledge defined by failure, conflict, and risk, but also hope.

As far back as the 1970s, doctors have pondered whether one day, as medical technology barrels ahead, the patient history and physical examination (H&P) would eventually become obsolete. And yet, we were all told in medical school that a proper history is enough to make X percent of diagnoses, which increases further when you work in physical findings. But today we are on the brink of the era of multiomics, a term encompassing the numerous data available for patients, from genomics, epigenomics, proteomics, microbiomics, metabolomics, and an array of other omics. These days, a health dataset from a single patient can be immense, to be sure. Advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, however, are making it possible to organize and filter multiomic data from a patient in ways that make them useful to physicians--ways that can personalize diagnosis and care, and bypass the often imperfect recollections of patients and patients' families obtained during a history.

DUBAI: Dubai Government Workshop (DGW) recently organized an interactive seminar entitled "How to Measure Productivity" as part of its ongoing partnership with Dubai Customs. The key features of the Productivity Engine, which aims to utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, were reviewed in order to help improve productivity and increase efficiency. The move aligns with DGW s efforts to speed up the digital transformation process and integrate AI to be part and parcel of any tools intended to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the government sector. Furthermore, it complements the vision of the wise leadership in steering Dubai and the UAE towards developing an integrated system that employs AI in all vital areas. The workshop was held in the presence of Khalid Ahmed Al Doubi, Director-Corporate Support, DGW and Ahmed Abdul Salam Kazim, Director of Strategy and Corporate Excellence, Dubai Customs, during which time DGW employees were acquainted with the importance of the Productivity Engine.

Today, we're at an inflection point in how we engage with customers to better meet their needs. According to a PwC report, 73% of all people point to customer experience as an important factor in their purchasing decisions. Yet only half of the U.S. consumers say companies are meeting their expectations. In this experience-driven economy, companies who understand the meaning behind customers' needs, listen and learn in every interaction, and consistently create engaging and personal experiences, will win. Companies should adopt AI to get the desired success.

DesignCon, the nation's largest event for chip, board, and systems design engineers, today announced new areas of focus for the 2020 edition highlighting advances in the fields of 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), automotive, and IoT, producing the most in-demand electronics emerging today. Topics will be examined through a 14-track conference schedule spanning technical sessions, boot camps, tutorials, and more to fit the needs of the hardware design engineering community. The DesignCon conference and expo reflects the design engineering industry's growing need for breakthroughs in the development of 5G connectivity, AI, automotive electronics, and IoT. With worldwide spending on AI systems forecasted to reach $79.2 billion in 2022, sales of automotive electronic systems at its highest growth rate on-record, expected worldwide spending on IoT projected to surpass $1 trillion in 2022, and the 5G infrastructure market estimated to reach $4.2 billion in value by 2020, DesignCon is the ideal forum for attendees across these interlaced industries to exchange ideas and develop solutions to meet consumer demand. "The market and value for connected, especially fast connected products, is on the rise," said Suzanne Deffree, brand director, Intelligent Systems & Design, Informa Markets.
