The Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), Luxembourg's financial watchdog, has launched a three-year pilot project with the University of Luxembourg to streamline the review of retail funds information and give immediate feedback to the industry. Led by the Center for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), the project uses artificial intelligence to extract data from documents submitted to the CSSF by fund managers and then verifies their regulatory compliance. "This is a big step towards achieving close to real-time supervision" Claude Marx, managing director of the CSSF, said. Agreeing on the final version of a document can takes month in the current, manual set up. "It can be shortened to just a couple of hours when done by artificial intelligence," Björn Ottersten, director of SnT said In the first phase of the roll-out, the CSSF will apply the technology to retail funds, as 95% of the information in the prospectuses is standardised, hence easier to process. If the project is successful, the regulator will extend it to alternative funds.

Jamshedpur: At the plenary session of CII EXCON 2019 on'Nextgen Infrastructure' held in Jamshedpur, the emphasis on technology as a key driver of growth of sustainable infrastructure development was highlighted. Recent developments in the areas of Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and machine learning will go a long way in boosting the infrastructure sector besides ensuring longevity and effectiveness. The session was attended by senior officials from the Government, industry leaders and stakeholders from the infrastructure and construction equipment sectors. CII EXCON 2019 – South Asia's largest construction equipment trade fair will demonstrate the role of smart technologies and nextgen construction equipment in accelerating the growth of infrastructure in the country. EXCON 2019, scheduled to be held at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre, Bengaluru from December 10-14, 2019 is spread over 3,00,000 square metres and will have the participation of over 1250 exhibitors including 350 overseas companies from 25 countries including China, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Turkey, UK & USA among others.

Artificial intelligence has replaced many skills in recent years – including the skills needed to do some human jobs. The tech revolution has not gone unnoticed by American workers. A 2018 Gallup poll revealed that 70% of Americans believe AI will eliminate more jobs than it creates. Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang has sounded the alarm, raising the prospect that millions are at risk for long-term joblessness. I'm an expert on labor markets in the U.S., and I believe that AI will undoubtedly change the future of U.S. labor – but Yang is also exaggerating the impact AI will have on the workforce.

After nearly a year of suspense and controversy, any day now the team of artificial intelligence (AI) researchers at OpenAI will release the full and final version of GPT-2, a language model that can "generate coherent paragraphs and perform rudimentary reading comprehension, machine translation, question answering, and summarization--all without task-specific training." When OpenAI first unveiled the program in February, it was capable of impressive feats: Given a two-sentence prompt about unicorns living in the Andes Mountains, for example, the program produced a coherent nine-paragraph news article. At the time, the technical achievement was newsworthy--but it was how OpenAI chose to release the new technology that really caused a firestorm. There is a prevailing norm of openness in the machine learning research community, consciously created by early giants in the field: Advances are expected to be shared, so that they can be evaluated and so that the entire field advances. However, in February, OpenAI opted for a more limited release due to concerns that the program could be used to generate misleading news articles; impersonate people online; or automate the production of abusive, fake or spam content.

The Israeli company announced the closing of its Series A funding at $5m (€4.49m) from the Chartered Group investment firm, which is expected to use the funds to enable further development of artificial intelligence (AI) models that can be used in peptide drug discovery. According to the company, the pharmaceutical industry has recently shown an increased interest in peptide R&D, leading to a resurgence of peptide drug candidates for various indications, since the molecules can be'highly selective and efficacious, as well as relatively safe'. The AI technology developed by Pepticom aims to streamline and accelerate researcher's discovery of peptide-based drug candidates, compared to traditional methods which are'costly and time consuming', the company stated. Discovery is achieved "by searching an enormous set of possible solutions, vastly reducing the risk of failure during development." More specifically, the technology covers a chemical space of 1,030 possible molecular options, which is larger than current screening techniques.

Over the last few years, the world has witnessed a robust upsurge in technology developments, especially in Artificial Intelligence. There is no doubt that the technology has the potential to transform businesses the way it is done earlier. Now, countries are focusing more on leveraging this tech to become and lead the race for AI supremacy across the globe. In India, there is a huge scope for AI as the country has been a growing hub for business and ranks among the most lucrative investment destinations for technology transactions worldwide. In recent times, the country has focused its interest more on technology, realising that it is a vital component of economic development.

Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and entrepreneur Andrew Yang talk during a break in the Democratic presidential primary debate hosted by CNN/New York Times. Are robots stealing workers' jobs? At last week's Democratic presidential debate, CNN moderator Erin Burnett dove into the thorny issue. "According to a recent study, about a quarter of American jobs could be lost to automation in just the next 10 years," she said, asking candidates how they would respond to this problem.

Over the last four years, more than 50,000 participants have developed and submitted over 114,000 artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to improve everything from detection of lung cancer and heart disease, to monitoring ocean health and helping accelerate life-saving medical research as part of the annual Data Science Bowl . In partnership with PBS KIDS, this year's competition will look at advancements in early childhood education. The results will lead to better designed games and improved learning outcomes, empowering children, parents, caregivers and educators across the globe with insights into how young children learn through media and which approaches work best to help them build on foundational learning skills. The 90-day Data Science Bowl competition will award winning participants with a share of $160,000 in cash prizes. Research shows much of the most critical brain development in children takes place before they even reach kindergarten.
