From the way we count our steps to the measures we take to get noticed online, Silicon Valley has transformed the everyday life of the average American. How and what platform we choose to date hasn't escaped this reality. Users of online dating apps, stemming from websites that became less socially acceptable among younger generations, are at the mercy of "swipes" to find love, a casual encounter or simply to boost their egos. But which app daters use may lead to unintentional assumptions – clichés, even – about why they chose a particular matchmaking platform, ranging from how they present themselves on their profiles to what kind of connection they are seeking. Almost half of U.S. online users have met or know someone who has met a romantic partner on a dating website or app. Tinder is currently the leader among online dating services, according to one study of 1,000 adults.

Would you act differently if you knew that somebody constantly watches you to analyze your behavior and emotions? People will have to answer this question soon. While facial recognition and other biometric technologies are becoming more prominent in a range of services including password authentication and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the pervasiveness of such technologies in our daily lives is becoming disturbing. And this says nothing about how fast they are spreading. Surveillance in retail stores that analyzes the behavior of shoppers, facial-recognition technology to expedite checking in to flights and hotels, targeted-marketing algorithms that deliver personalized ads by scanning the customer's face – these are a few examples, the tip of the iceberg, of how industries are using artificial-intelligence (AI) tech.

In March 2004, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) organized a special Grand Challenge event to test out the promise -- or lack thereof -- of current-generation self-driving cars. Entrants from the world's top A.I. labs competed for a $1 million prize; their custom-built vehicles trying their best to autonomously navigate a 142-mile route through California's Mojave Desert. The "winning" team managed to travel just 7.4 miles in several hours before shuddering to a halt. A decade-and-a-half, a whole lot has changed. Self-driving cars have successfully driven hundreds of thousands of miles on actual roads.

A new report published this week (18 November 2019) looking at the intersection of AI and journalism has issued a warning to global newsrooms: collaborate with your competitors or face extinction. A global survey of journalism and artificial intelligence' is a joint project between Polis, the international journalism think-tank at London School of Economics and Political Science, and the Google News Initiative, who has funded the research. It surveyed 71 international news organisations on their on use of artificial intelligence for editorial purposes across a seven-month period, showing that just 37 per cent of them have a dedicated AI strategy. Charlie Beckett, director, Polis, London School of Economics and Political Science, said that newsrooms have between two and five years to develop a meaningful strategy, or risk fading out of the digital landscape. "This is a marathon, not a sprint - but they've got to start running now," he said.

Then Alexa takes over basic household functions. And now a robot may be conducting your job interview. That's right--portions of corporate America are now using artificial intelligence ("AI") to conduct interviews of job applicants. How does this work, what are the risks and has there been a legislative response? And how would the Luddites respond to this?

When you think about artificial intelligence, chances are you think about anthropomorphic robots that can make decisions on their own. But artificial intelligence already has huge impacts in the insurance space. That's why I'm excited to announce that omni:us founder and CEO Sofie Quidenus-Wahlforss is joining us at TechCrunch Disrupt Berlin. This way, omni:us customers can use the platform for automated claims handling. The startup doesn't want to disrupt existing insurance companies.

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence-enabled machine that can beat human players in a tricky online multiplayer game where player roles and motives are kept secret, says a study. It was presented at International Conference on Information Systems. The machine, called'DeepRole', is the first gaming bot that can win online multiplayer games in which the participants' team allegiances are initially unclear, according the study from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), US. The bot is designed with novel "deductive reasoning" added into an AI algorithm commonly used for playing poker. This helps it reason about partially observable actions, to determine the probability that a given player is a teammate or opponent.

At a time where data center energy consumption is increasing rapidly, optimization is a must. But it is not self-evident that, apparent obvious technical adjustments actually benefits the datacenter. Matse: "Datacenters must continue to optimize. The magic value here is the PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness). But how exactly are you going to do that? And what is the result of your optimization? For example, you can lower the cooling water temperature by two degrees, because then you might save money. But what is the impact of this on the data floor? That is hard for a person to quanitfy. Artificial intelligence, a technology that is developing rapidly and has more and more applications, can therefore be a useful tool to improve the availability and efficiency of a datacenter. Matse says: "What we do, together with TNO (Dutch Governmental Sciunce institute), Vortech (data science) and Actiflow (CFD), is making a'digital twin'.

The fall season brings many familiar favorites. It's common nowadays to see notifications from healthcare organizations on the local news alongside email reminders from employers about annual flu shots. If anything, it's a normal occurrence--perhaps anticipated, alongside ads for new pumpkin spice- flavored consumables. But even with careful preparation, healthcare professionals often work behind the curve to track the progress of reported flu outbreaks. Numerous factors are at play.
