In this tutorial, you will learn how to train your own traffic sign classifier/recognizer capable of obtaining over 95% accuracy using Keras and Deep Learning. Last weekend I drove down to Maryland to visit my parents. As I pulled into their driveway I noticed something strange -- there was a car I didn't recognize sitting in my dad's parking spot. I parked my car, grabbed my bags out of the trunk, and before I could even get through the front door, my dad came out, excited and enlivened, exclaiming that he had just gotten back from the car dealership and traded in his old car for a brand new 2020 Honda Accord. Most everyone enjoys getting a new car, but for my dad, who puts a lot of miles on his car each year for work, getting a new car is an especially big deal.

From banking, education and shopping, to other normal everyday activities, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an ever-increasing presence in our world. The development and deployment of artificial AI holds enormous potential to improve billions of people's lives around the globe. The technology has a huge capacity to do good in areas such as government, healthcare, law, business, education and environment. And the EU's High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence has said that AI is key to addressing many of the grand challenges in the UK Sustainable Development Goals. The ways in which AI can benefit us are seemingly limitless.

A major artificial intelligence conference is set to be staged in Belfast for the first time. AI Con is expected to bring global leaders in the field to the Northern Ireland capital later this week for the first AI Con to be held in the region. AI leaders from companies such as Google, Amazon and Microsoft will discuss some of the major technological advances and how it is changing the world in which we live at the event on Thursday. The conference will also examine the very practical ways in which AI is transforming how businesses operate and will look at how the latest advances in AI research can be implemented. Tom Gray, chief technology officer at Kainos said AI is an area of rapid growth in the technology sector.

At its Ignite conference this year, Microsoft is continuing its A.I. push. By further integrating artificial intelligence into its Microsoft 365 applications -- including its Office suite products such as Outlook and Excel -- the company wants to offload some of the heavy human lifting to its Cortana digital smart assistant to help you stay productive. By bringing its A.I. smarts to Outlook on iOS, Microsoft is showing how you can truly go hands-free and eyes-free and still stay on top of your email. With the launch of a new Play My Emails feature, Outlook users on iPhone and iPad will be able to have Cortana read out emails using natural language technology. For commuters, this feature can save you time during your morning and evening commute, as Cortana will be able to read your email messages to you while you're driving, a move that places Microsoft's digital assistant in direct competition with music and audiobooks for your ear time.

It's now just over 12 months since we first published research on digital supply chains. Some Forrester clients have made progress with integrated business planning and with control towers. And they are on the lookout for blockchain opportunities. But the most common question we hear is about the role of AI in supply chains. The major applications of AI in supply chains are in demand management, warehouse execution, and chatbots serving procurement professionals.

Companies are finding it hard to grasp the tangible potential of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, and to find ways to cash in on the opportunities. The technology remains rather enigmatic. Let's try to clear a bit of the haze, through a closer look at the reality of AI, including how to identify possible use cases within your organisation. In this session, we'll find out about AI and ML initiatives in business, public entities and academia. We'll hear two real-life cases: on rolling out data mining and AI at FPS Finance, and on how SD Worx uses AI and big data to integrate new services.

America's national security depends on the government getting access to the artificial intelligence breakthroughs made by the technology industry. So says a report submitted to Congress Monday by the National Security Commission on AI. The group, which includes executives from Google, Microsoft, Oracle, and Amazon, says the Pentagon and intelligence agencies need a better relationship with Silicon Valley to stay ahead of China. "AI adoption for national security is imperative," said Eric Schmidt, chair of the commission, and formerly CEO of Google, at a news briefing Monday. "The private sector and government officials need to build a shared sense of responsibility."
