Almost two years ago, an unusual case shook the art world. Art theft and forgery are not uncommon but claiming an exhibited art piece to be "Fake" definitely induce disorder. The issue arose when in a German public collection, a painting thought to be made by artist Kazimir Malevich in 1915 was labeled as counterfeit and a judicial trial was held to seek the truth. Some witnessed and art experts said that it was original enough and "could hang in Stedelijk" while some stated to the authorities that such works were terribly "awful imitations". A similar case in 2018, led to the closure of the Ghent Museum of Fine Art in Belgium after some of the artwork raised suspicion among the critics and as a result, the director of the museum was suspended.

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.

Waste Management – With AI working in tandem with IoT, it becomes easier for city authorities to remotely monitor waste levels. Additionally, Artificial intelligence in smart cities can help optimize waste management by providing urban planners and authorities with operational and route optimization analytics. Road Traffic – Perhaps the greatest challenges facing many urban areas today is street traffic. A noteworthy goal of Artificial intelligence in smart cities is to enable commuters to get starting with one part of the city then onto the next securely and as fast as could be expected under the circumstances. To accomplish this, urban areas are going to the utilization of IoT and AI-empower traffic arrangement solution.

The 21st century has opened up a boundless mass of headlines, articles, and stories. This information influx, however, is partially contaminated: Alongside factual, truthful content is fallacious, deliberately manipulated material from dubious sources. According to research by the European Research Council, one in four Americans visited at least one fake news article during the 2016 presidential campaign. This problem has recently been exacerbated by something called "automatic text generators." Advanced artificial intelligence software, like OpenAI's GPT-2 language model, is now being used for things like auto-completion, writing assistance, summarization, and more, and it can also be used to produce large amounts of false information -- fast.

On today's episode of the podcast, I got to chat with software engineer Jackson Bates who lives and works in Melbourne, Australia. Jackson used to be a high school English teacher, but gradually taught himself to code and landed a pretty sweet gig as a React dev, partly by chance. Today he works part time as a developer, part time as a stay at home dad, and volunteers his time with various open source projects. Jackson grew up in England, and studied English in school. Although going into education seemed a logical choice, he dabbled in other fields - like working at a prison cafeteria - for a while before landing a teaching job.

HELIXRE announces the launch of Enhanced Cloud Technology, an application of geometric deep learning (GDL) to greatly increase the benefits of digital building plans. HELIXRE now applies GDL to distinguish contents of multi-billion point clouds to allow semantic understanding of building spaces, identifying specific elements like walls, floors, ceilings, furniture, and typical office clutter. Defining and isolating these elements means no one creates more accurate building clouds faster and more cost efficiently than HELIXRE. GDL is a relatively new and cutting-edge form of machine learning, overcoming limitations of convolutional neural networks that solve 2D problems like image recognition, but are not well suited to the complexity of 3D spaces. By creating superpoints, HELIXRE reduces the problem domain to a smaller set of points to which graph convolutions are applied.

The world has experienced four industrial revolutions and as each has unfolded, so have dire predictions of massive job losses. Looking back at the first three, it is clear that concerns were misplaced. The number of jobs increased each time, as did living standards and every other social indicator. McKinsey predicts that 800 million workers could be displaced in 42 countries -- a third of the workforce -- because of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Although similar predictions were made at the onset of each revolution of the past, could there be something more to it this time?

A new report from software company Sage titled The Changing Face of HR finds that 82% of HR leaders anticipate their role will be "almost completely unrecognizable" within 10 years. And yet, despite this predicted sea change, the survey's findings reveal that most of these leaders consider themselves and their organizations poorly prepared for such a transformation. For example, nearly half (43%) of the 500 HR leaders at mid-sized organizations surveyed believe their organization will not keep up with related changes in technology during the next decade. Fewer than one in three consider their skills at an "expert" level for the change, 57% say they can't invest in new technology because of resourcing restrictions and only 25% consider themselves tech-savvy. "It's clear that while many companies are adopting new technologies and making advancements within their HR departments on their journey towards a'People' function, just as many remain resistant to invest," says Paul Burrin, Sage's vice president of people.

What is the best way to treat a stroke? It's no secret: you send for an emergency doctor immediately. Step two: the patient is sent for a CT or MRI scan, and if he or she is eligible for catheter treatment, it starts immediately after the diagnosis has been made. Then, everything possible should be done to prevent a further stroke. If we know this, why is it so difficult to implement?

Here is the list of the top 20 cities. The AI Readiness Index was created by the Oliver Wyman Forum to serve as a metric of the capability of a city to thrive and adapt once the age of AI comes. The global research covers 105 cities all over the globe. Apart from managing the vital aspects of city life and health, Oliver Wyman Forum also emphasizes the importance of moving forward in these vectors for a city to be fully prepared for the changes AI tech will bring. Singapore was ranked the highest for this year's report, gaining an overall score of 75.8.
