Last March, Chinese researchers announced an ingenious and potentially devastating attack against one of America's most prized technological assets--a Tesla electric car. The team, from the security lab of the Chinese tech giant Tencent, demonstrated several ways to fool the AI algorithms on Tesla's car. By subtly altering the data fed to the car's sensors, the researchers were able to bamboozle and bewilder the artificial intelligence that runs the vehicle. In one case, a TV screen contained a hidden pattern that tricked the windshield wipers into activating. In another, lane markings on the road were ever-so-slightly modified to confuse the autonomous driving system so that it drove over them and into the lane for oncoming traffic.

In Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, there are over 5 million children with some form of disability. With the right support, many of these can thrive in mainstream education. As a result, up to 75 percent of these children are excluded from quality education. The situation is made even more difficult when resources are stretched to begin with. In Romania, a country which has the second highest teacher-to-student ratio in Europe, it can be difficult for children with disabilities to get the specific support they need to thrive, whether that's in or out of the classroom.

Artificial Intelligence is the branch of computer science that deals with the making of intelligent machines. These machines have the capability of performing actions that would otherwise require human intelligence. AI as a service is outperforming humans in many ways. AI is helping in automating the tasks in businesses, industries, manufacturing sectors and many more. Artificial Intelligence is of two types- Narrow or weak AI and Strong AI.

Today during the 2019 World Innovation Forum, Partners HealthCare unveiled its selections for the fifth annual "Disruptive Dozen," an annual list of 12 emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technologies with the greatest potential to impact healthcare in the next year. The annual 12 most disruptive technologies are selected through a rigorous process by Partners HealthCare thought leaders, clinicians, and researchers. Interview results from nearly 100 experts are assembled into a field of nominated technologies. The nominated innovation must have a strong potential for significant clinical impact at some point in the next decade and offers significant patient benefit in comparison to current practices. The innovation may also have a significant benefit to the delivery/efficiency of health.

DeepMind's latest AI program is faster and better than humans in predicting the missing words in ancient Greek inscriptions. Google's artificial intelligence (AI) research arm, DeepMind, made an international name for itself in 2017 when its AlphaGo program consistently beat the world's best human Go players in the board game. Now, a new project borne out of the lab has proved that AI is also better than humans at learning words, including those long-forgotten ones dating back thousands of years. In a recent collaboration between DeepMind and the University of Oxford, a team of computer scientists trained a set of neural networks (algorithms) to recognize words inscribed on unearthed Greek stones that were between 1,500 and 2,600 years old. The neural networks were then asked to apply those learnings to predicting the missing characters or words on a new set of damaged relics.

It's tempting to think of the mind as a layer that sits on top of more primitive cognitive structures. We experience ourselves as conscious beings, after all, in a way that feels different to the rhythm of our heartbeat or the rumblings of our stomach. If the operations of the brain can be separated out and stratified, then perhaps we can construct something akin to just the top layer, and achieve human-like artificial intelligence (AI) while bypassing the messy flesh that characterises organic life. I understand the appeal of this view, because I co-founded SwiftKey, a predictive-language software company that was bought by Microsoft. Our goal is to emulate the remarkable processes by which human beings can understand and manipulate language.

The development of foundational technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and the convergence with other key technologies like IoT is going to accelerate the digital transformation of industry and services. They will provide new opportunities to innovate, create new ventures and to invest in technologies and applications that will deeply change the existing business models. The support program will be critical for the successful implementation of this first EU-wide Deep Tech Investment Fund specifically focused on the development and acceleration of Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Distributed Ledger technologies and the Convergence of these technologies. As part of this Investment support program, the European Commission is aiming to: (i) to enhance the awareness and visibility of innovative AI and Blockchain companies and projects with financial intermediaries and the broader investment community; (ii) to carry out a series of market consultations with a broad range of stakeholders from the AI/blockchain ecosystem, Governments and private investors, (iii) to convene and to better link the investment community with innovative Blockchain/AI SME and startups (iv) support the portfolio development and originate a deal flow of technically and financially viable projects; and(v) to mobilise more investors and to facilitate cooperation schemes by contributing to the creation and optimal operation of an EU-wide Deep Tech Investment Program, with a focus on AI, Blockchain and the Convergence of technologies.

Lavanya Akella, a PGP student from INSOFE walks us through her journey of learning and experiencing a real-time development in her career. The intense course on'combination of programming and mathematics' is highlighted as intriguing, and one of the reasons why she chose INSOFE. She claimed'Machine Learning' as the most interesting module throughout the course. We are Applied Engineering International School of Engineering (INSOFE) offers novel executive education programs in Data Science/Analytics. INSOFE is the only institute in India that is certified by the prestigious Language Technologies Institute (LTI) of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), USA for the pedagogy, content, and assessment.
