The child labor activist, who works for Indian NGO Bachpan Bachao Andolan, had launched a pilot program 15 months prior to match a police database containing photos of all of India's missing children with another one comprising shots of all the minors living in the country's child care institutions. He had just found out the results. "We were able to match 10,561 missing children with those living in institutions," he told CNN. "They are currently in the process of being reunited with their families." Most of them were victims of trafficking, forced to work in the fields, in garment factories or in brothels, according to Ribhu. This momentous undertaking was made possible by facial recognition technology provided by New Delhi's police.

In the early 1980s, presentations about Infosys began with the founders' pointing out India and Bengaluru on a world map. Today, globally listed companies such as Dr Reddy's, Tata Motors, and Reliance Industries have made that redundant. The country is also the third-largest startup nation. A number of its business-to-consumer (B2C) ventures, from e-commerce major Flipkart to ride-sharing platform Ola, are known across the world. Now, a new wave of business-to-business (B2B) startups in niche segments is silently creating a significant impact globally.

AI has moved into the art world. Two paintings up for auction in New York highlight a growing interest in artificial intelligence-created works – a technique that could transform how art is made and viewed but is also stirring up passionate debate. Last year, the art world was stunned when an AI painting sold for US$432,500, and auctioneers are keen to further test demand for computer-generated works. "Art is a true reflection of what our society, what our environment responds to," said Max Moore of Sotheby's. Sotheby's will put two paintings by the French art collective Obvious up for sale this week, including "Le Baron De Belamy."

The training result is shown in Figure 1.

This is the fourth in a series of articles I am writing about Māori ethics with AI, Data sovereignty and Robotics. Article 3: Māori Ethical considerations with Artificial Intelligence Systems; Article 2: Māori ethics associated with AI systems architecture and Article 1: Māori cultural considerations with Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. The next planned articles are"Indigenising the Internet" and "Tikanga and Facial Recognition". At the conclusion of this article, are the English, Māori and a Translation into English of the Māori version of te Treaty of Waitangi. There is an international debate about whether we regulate Artificial Intelligence (AI) or assume that AI systems developments will be the better of the wider community.

IMAGE: Peter Foltz, a research professor at the University of Colorado Boulder Institute of Cognitive Science, has developed an app that rates mental help based on speech cues. Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, computers can now assist doctors in diagnosing disease and help monitor patient vital signs from hundreds of miles away. Now, CU Boulder researchers are working to apply machine learning to psychiatry, with a speech-based mobile app that can categorize a patient's mental health status as well as or better than a human can. "We are not in any way trying to replace clinicians," says Peter Foltz, a research professor at the Institute of Cognitive Science and co-author of a new paper in Schizophrenia Bulletin that lays out the promise and potential pitfalls of AI in psychiatry. "But we do believe we can create tools that will allow them to better monitor their patients."

Tribune News Network Paris HE Sheikha Hind bint Hamad al Thani, vice-chairperson and CEO of Qatar Foundation, has emphasised the importance of using Artificial Intelligence as a tool for personalised learning at the 2019 Paris Peace Forum. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) and technology become increasingly powerful global tools, their role in shaping the future of education is among the topics being focused on at the annual multinational platform for dialogue, which brings together thought-leaders and decision-makers to identify solutions to the world's great challenges and places the issue of global governance at the top of the international agenda. The opening day of the forum saw HE Sheikha Hind participate in a discussion on the role of AI in education, which called for the human touch to be retained in a changing technological environment. Speakers at the session – which was held at La Grande Halle De La Villette in Paris and included Irina Bokova, former secretary-general of UNESCO, discussed the importance of guiding future generations towards becoming true digital citizens by embracing the role education must play in helping to illustrate the risks and benefits of AI. The discussion was moderated by François Taddei, director of The Center for Research and Interdisciplinarity (CRI).

Increasingly, insurance companies are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to optimize processes, reduce costs, and increase efficiency. For example, Ant Financial's Dingsunbao app is able to make damage assessment and provide detailed analysis including claim amount, damaged parts and repair plan by leveraging AI technologies such as image recognition. Similarly, a public insurer in Germany employs an algorithm to manage the large amount of email correspondence by detecting keywords, sorting correspondence according to topics, urgencies and departments, and suggesting next best actions. In addition to unlocking greater efficiencies and lowering costs, AI and machine-learning technologies can also be applied to help insurance companies acquire new customers, cross-sell and grow revenues. For example, AI and machine learning can provide insights to support more effective customer segmentation, automate and personalize product recommendations, and enable more intelligent and customized self-service product research for customers.

A Tysons tech company wants to boost fundraising and marketing efficiency for both non-profits and businesses by using artificial intelligence. BoodleAI (1751 Pinnacle Drive), which eventually branched out to also create GuidonAI, began as a small startup roughly three years ago and managed to expand its client base to include around 30 non-profit groups and businesses. BoodleAI works with non-profits to expand their donor bases, while GuidonAI exclusively works with businesses to boost marketing strategies, France Hoang, the chief strategy officer and co-founder, told Tysons Reporter. Both companies offer predictive analytics to help organizations by taking the clients' pre-existing data and cross-referencing it with more than 500 other data points on each person, using only names and email. All of the data sets are then analyzed by AI to come up with a predictive model that will be tested for power and reliability, according to the company's website.

In our recent blog about 5G, we were sure the advent of 5G "will impact the IoT space dramatically". So here is more on why 5G is being seen as a further catalyst for the IoT industry. The June 2019 edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report forecasts 1.9 billion 5G subscriptions which mean IoT is likely to reach its full potential as 5G becomes its enabler. As there is a surge expected in the number of IoT devices within households (for increased security), 5G will accommodate these devices from close range to long distance, at unmatched speeds while maintaining unbelievable data rates. In the industrial space, 5G will facilitate wireless sensors deployment throughout factories/storage units along with smarter robots, ensuring a seamless transition from hierarchal network design toward a connected one. Further, the integration of 5G in IoT will enable manufacturers to expand and reimagine their factories/warehouses, infrastructure and security to develop new 5G products and revamp old ones.
