U.S. technology giant Microsoft has teamed up with a Chinese military university to develop artificial intelligence systems that could potentially enhance government surveillance and censorship capabilities. Two U.S. senators publicly condemned the partnership, but what the National Defense Technology University of China wants from Microsoft isn't the only concern. As my research shows, the advent of digital repression is profoundly affecting the relationship between citizen and state. New technologies are arming governments with unprecedented capabilities to monitor, track and surveil individual people. Even governments in democracies with strong traditions of rule of law find themselves tempted to abuse these new abilities.

The advanced technologies are impacting major cities in the Middle East that rising both economically and creating opportunities for business. UAE is the fastest growing city has a unique strategic plan, economic vision, and deep resources and attractive business concerns to disruption of AI in all areas. The artificial intelligence has the capability to solve various problems and greatest challenges that effect to improve resources in the Middle East countries. The Middle East countries like Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia are leading the direction to implement artificial intelligence services in their private and public domains. The advanced technology making a huge impact on human lives that will provide huge success in business and credible process to reduce risk in the operations by reducing deception methods.

A legal code of practice is needed before face recognition technology can be safely deployed by police forces in public places, says the UK's data regulator. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said it has serious concerns about the use of the technology as it relies on large amounts of personal information, in a blog post. Current laws, codes and practices "will not drive the ethical and legal approach that's needed to truly manage the risk that this technology presents," said information commissioner Elizabeth Denham. She called for police forces to be compelled to show justification that face recognition is "strictly necessary, balanced and effective" in each case it is deployed. Face recognition can map faces in a crowd by measuring the distance between facial features, then compare results with a "watch list" of images, which can include suspects, missing people and persons of interest. South Wales Police and the Met Police have been trialling face recognition as a possible way to reduce crime, but the move has been divisive.

An artificial intelligence developed by British firm DeepMind has achieved'Grandmaster' status in the real-time, sci-fi strategy game'StarCraft II'. StarCraft II is one of the world's most lucrative and popular esports, in which players control different alien races to build up forces and defeat their opponents. With each battle coming with thousands of possible moves at any given moment, the video game presents a challenge that surpasses traditional tests like chess or Go. The AI -- dubbed'AlphaStar' -- proved its mettle in a series of online battles against human opponents, coming out above 99.8 per cent of players in the rankings. This makes AlphaStar the first ever AI to reach the top tier of human performance in a professionally-played esport, without needing simplifying the game first.

Last year, many Americans worried that artificial intelligence (AI) might replace them at work. This year, employees around the world are wondering why their employers don't provide them with the kind of AI-enabled technology they're starting to use at home. That's one way to think about the results of a second annual survey about AI in the workplace, conducted by Oracle and research firm Future Workplace. This year, 50% of survey respondents say they're currently using some form of AI at work--a major leap compared to only 32% in last year's survey. Perhaps because workers are seeing firsthand in their personal lives how Siri and Alexa can quickly answer questions, their anxiety about using the technology at work is lessening, suggests Emily He, senior vice president of Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) Cloud and executive sponsor of the survey.

It's been a busy year for the Illinois General Assembly, which is well on its way to creating the most regulated state in the country when it comes to employment law. We have already seen the Illinois Workplace Transparency Act passed, which will change the way arbitration and confidentiality agreements work, and seen the Illinois Equal Pay Act modified. Now, Illinois has enacted the Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act (AIVIA), which goes into effect on January 1, 2020. The AIVIA regulates how employers use artificial intelligence to analyze video recordings of job applicants' interviews during the hiring process. Further, employers may not share applicants' video interviews, except with those who necessarily must view the videos to evaluate the applicants' fitness for hire.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt urged cooperation with Chinese scientists, warned against the threat of misinformation, and advised against overregulation by governments today in a broad-ranging speech about AI ethics and regulation of big tech companies. He also talked about conflict deterrence between nation-states in the age of AI and pondered how secretaries of state might share information in the coming age of artificial general intelligence (AGI). "What are the norms of this? This area strikes me as one that's nascent but will become very important as general intelligence becomes more and more possible some time from now," he said. "We haven't had a common regime around how all that works."

Artificial intelligence is playing an important role in the healthcare services industry. From wearable advances that can monitor heart rate and the number of calories you've consumed. The number of advances like medical imaging technology that AI pioneers have made in the healthcare services industry is downright awesome. There're a lot of pioneers and makers behind the innovation that is immeasurably changing the medical business. Let's review some of the top companies with medical-imaging technology improving medical services in the industry.

SKF has acquired Presenso Ltd., a company that develops and deploys artificial intelligence (AI)-based software for improving machine performance. Presenso's AI capability enables production plants to find and act on anomalies that were previously undetectable, automatically and without the need to employ additional data scientists. Presenso's solution is used by industrial plants to increase production output and revenue by reducing the incidence of unplanned asset downtime. Presenso, located in Haifa, Israel, built its solution based on innovations in the field of Automated Machine Learning or AutoML. AutoML accelerates the rate of AI deployment, enabling plants to scale industrial analytics across a large asset base.
