And to that end, the 34-year-old company already appears to have some wind in its sails. Revenues were down 17% year over year during the company's fiscal year fourth quarter, but it beat Wall Street's expectations and sent company stock up 7%. The company is hinging its future performance on 5G, and highlighted areas of momentum that it expects to fuel growth. CEO Steve Mollenkopf told analysts that the company is actively working with standards bodies to define forthcoming advancements in 5G and positioning itself to support the expansion of 5G into enterprise, industrial IoT, and automotive markets. "The complexity and expansion of cellular technologies beyond the smartphone into nearly every industry play directly to Qualcomm's strengths and are why we believe 5G will represent the single biggest opportunity in Qualcomm's history," he said during an earnings call, according to a Seeking Alpha transcript.

Throughout most of recorded history buying and selling has been part of daily life. Whether it's agricultural products or the latest software, selling is a communication process whereby one side works to fulfill the needs of a second party via their product or service. The ability of the sales person to properly communicate why a prospect should buy or sell is the reason their role exists. Once an account relationship is in place less human interaction may be required (or desired) and automating the ordering process probably makes sense, except for new products or up-selling opportunities requiring human sales interaction. AI sales tools can augment the sales process both today and in the near future in so many time saving ways (if the right technology is applied, the reps are properly trained, buy into it and use it every day).

Last month, Chowbotics announced the worldwide availability of Sally 2.0, an updated version of its robotic salad dispenser. The Hayward, Calif.-based company called Sally "the world's first fresh-food robot" and said Sally 2.0 has a larger tablet display, a new user interface, wheels for greater portability, and redesigned canisters to reduce the time needed to clean and refill it. Chowbotics introduced Sally last year, and it is in use in more than 70 locations. The award-winning robot can handle up to 22 ingredients in numerous custom combinations in addition to pre-programmed recipes. Sally is available for purchase or on a monthly basis.

An AI that was deemed too dangerous to be released has now been released into the world. Researchers had feared that the model, known as "GPT-2", was so powerful that it could be maliciously misused by everyone from politicians to scammers. GPT-2 was created for a simple purpose: it can be fed a piece of text, and is able to predict the words that will come next. By doing so, it is able to create long strings of writing that are largely indistinguishable from those written by a human being. But it became clear that it was worryingly good at that job, with its text creation so powerful that it could be used to scam people and may undermine trust in the things we read.

The US is trailing behind in the world's artificial intelligence arms race, a new report warns. The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence explained China and Russia are ahead of the game and using this technology in their military operations to undermine US superiority. The US group urges officials to developed AI-powered security and defense technologies before the US falls victim to increased cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns and the erosion of individual privacy and civil liberties. The interim report was released on Tuesday, with the final report set to be out sometime next year. This document is set to be handed to the US Secretary of Defense next year and includes key steps the government can take to position the US in the top spot.

Air quality is a vastly underestimated problem, said NASA research scientist Christoph Keller in a talk at this week's GTC DC, the Washington edition of NVIDIA's GPU Technology Conference. Nine in 10 people breathe polluted air, and millions of deaths a year are attributed to household or outdoor air pollution. Poor air also lowers crop yields, costing billions of dollars in agricultural yield losses annually. To better understand and forecast air quality, NASA researchers are developing a machine learning model that tracks global air pollution in real time. The model also provides forecasts up to five days in advance that can help government agencies and individuals make decisions.
