Skills are the new currency in the changing world of work
By 2025 about 48% of all job opportunities in Europe will need to be filled by people with qualifications beyond high school level. Indeed we don't even need to look so far ahead into the future. Currently, skills among the EU's workforce fall about one-fifth short of what is needed for workers to carry out their jobs at their highest productivity level. A sizeable share of the EU workforce – four in 10 adult employees – feel that their skills are underutilised while about four in 10 EU employers struggle to find the right skills when recruiting[1]. The skills gap has a significant economic impact on both workers and businesses.

QUT researchers use AI to bring sharper focus to eye testing
QUT researchers have applied artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning techniques to develop a more accurate and detailed method for analysing images of the back of the eye to help clinicians better detect and track eye diseases, such as glaucoma and aged-related macular degeneration. Their findings have been published in Nature Scientific Reports. Study lead author QUT Senior Research Fellow Dr David Alonso-Caneiro, from the Faculty of Health School of Optometry and Vision Science, said the team had explored a range of state-of-the-art deep learning techniques to analyse Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images. OCT is a common instrument used by optometrists and ophthalmologists. It takes cross-sectional images of the eye which show different tissue layers.
Eduporium Weekly The Latest on AI in Education
Artificial intelligence is a technology that is progressing so rapidly that it's likely that scientists don't even yet know its full potential for impacting our lives. One of the areas that looks likely to gain the most from the power of AI, however, is education. AI has become such a phenomenon in the technology world that colleges, universities, and other institutions have established educational programs surrounding it so that people can learn about it and how to use it to better their lives. It's believed that artificial intelligence will impact education at both the K-12 level and in higher ed. It will impact both teachers and students and it could cause a whole lot of disruption in classrooms, making artificial intelligence something that educational leaders need to really start thinking about.
Artificial Intelligence Is Now a 'Very Important' Part of Starbucks' Digital Strategy
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one phrase we're going to hear a lot more of in the restaurant industry from now on. McDonald's and KFC are already experimenting with it, and this week, Starbucks said the technology is a key piece of the company's overall digital strategy moving forward. On an investor call, Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson highlighted the company's Deep Brew initiative, which will be a major area of focus in 2020. And as Johnson explained in a LinkedIn post recently, Deep Brew involves machine learning technologies that will improve back-of-house elements like inventory management and employee scheduling. Johnson said the technology will also power better recommendations and upsell offers to customers via the Starbucks mobile app.

NCRI to partner with new AI tech centres across the UK - The National Cancer Research Institute
This month, the government announced £50m of funding towards the creation of five new centres of excellence for digital pathology and imaging that will use artificial intelligence (AI) medical advances to speed up disease diagnosis and improve patient outcomes. NCRI is proud to be partnering with three of these centres – furthering our existing work to accelerate cancer research in pathology and imaging and linking these exciting new AI and machine learning projects to our Partners, patients and the wider cancer research community. The five centres will be based in universities and NHS facilities, and bring together doctors, businesses, AI researchers and academics. Together, they will form a network of centres using AI to develop more intelligent analysis of medical imaging and find new ways to speed up diagnosis of diseases to improve outcomes for patients. The technologies developed at the new centres will offer more personalised treatment for patients while freeing up healthcare professionals to spend more time caring for patients.
Autonomous Legal Entities are Already Possible Under American Law
If you ask a hundred lawyers whether a software system or a robot can buy a house or file a lawsuit, all of them would be likely to answer'no.' But because of the extreme flexibility of limited liability companies (LLCs) under US law, software and other artificial systems in fact can get basic legal personhood or at least a very close surrogate of it. That is, they can enter contracts, own property, sue, and be sued. The modern American LLC is an amazingly flexible structure. At its core, it is a legally recognized entity controlled however its organizers want it to be controlled.
