"The tantalizing promise of quantum computers is that certain computational tasks might be executed exponentially faster on a quantum processor than on a classical processor. A fundamental challenge is to build a high-fidelity processor capable of running quantum algorithms in an exponentially large computational space. Here, we report using a processor with programmable superconducting qubits to create quantum states on 53 qubits, occupying a state space 253 1016. Measurements from repeated experiments sample the corresponding probability distribution, which we verify using classical simulations. While our processor takes about 200 seconds to sample one instance of the quantum circuit 1 million times, a state-of-the-art supercomputer would require approximately 10,000 years to perform the equivalent task. This dramatic speedup relative to all known classical algorithms provides an experimental realization of quantum supremacy on a computational task and heralds the advent of a much-anticipated computing paradigm." It is fascinating to consider what will happen next in the intersection of quantum information and artificial intelligence. It is also hard to tell where it will lead, perhaps a new computing paradigm?

Roddie Hasan loves his Tesla, but after a fright using a feature that lets him summon the car as he might a dog, he says he will be walking to get it. The electric vehicle maker, a contender in the technology race to fully self-driving cars, last month issued a software update that included a "Smart Summon" feature for having Teslas go to owners instead of the other way around. A smartphone app acts as a remote control, and Tesla advised owners to keep their cars in sight the whole time. Stepping from a pizzeria into a quiet parking lot, Hasan decided to "summon" his Tesla Model 3. He watched as the car eased out of its stall and headed in his direction.

Recently, Siemens Healthineers, the healthcare division of Siemens, invested $200 million in a manufacturing facility in Bengaluru to integrate R&D and manufacturing. The company says it will put together state-of-the-artCT scan machines and C-arm radiology systems for emerging markets such as India, and provide employment locally. While there are business gains certainly, the company is headed towards having Artificial Intelligence (AI) as one of the primary technology pillars in their products. As a market leader, it aims to be realistic in its approach to incorporate AI in its products. It says AI will pan out in phases, with hybrid devices coming to the market first.

Why are quintessentially geeky places like DARPA and Google suddenly interested in talking about something as profoundly ungeeky as babies? It turns out that understanding babies and young children may be one key to ensuring that the current "AI spring" continues--despite some chilly autumnal winds in the air. In the past, scientists unsuccessfully tried to create artificial intelligence by programming knowledge directly into a computer. Now they rely instead on "machine learning"--techniques that let the computers themselves work out what to do based on the data they see. These techniques have led to amazing breakthroughs.

The Pentagon, taking the next big step of deploying artificial intelligence to aid troops and help select battlefield targets, must settle lingering ethical concerns about using the technology for waging war. Search giant Google dealt a blow last year to the military's maiden artificial intelligence, or AI, program sorting drone footage. Thousands of employees protested working on surveillance technology they said eventually could be used to kill. The Pentagon's Joint Artificial Intelligence Center is pushing ahead with a new series of AI projects that will be rolled out to commanders over the coming year with an expected funding boost from Congress. At the same time, a defense board is hammering out ethical guidelines for the cutting-edge technology.

We welcome the Founder & CEO of a German Ad-Tech startup firm ADLUUX in Hong Kong. Ivan Skoko will share his insights and tools for advertising agencies to leverage and optimise client advertising dollars. What Facebook and Google did to the online advertising will be be extended in public (also called out-of-home) advertising. Public advertising is expecting a mega paradigm shift and high growth, if the right AI strategies are adopted. More interesting is how technology (including AI) is driving the change where advertisers are able to captivate their audience via public screens and communicate to masses in an efficient way.

We live in an age of increasing centralization that pervades all aspects of our culture. In today's world, centralization equates to control; centralization equates to power. Centralization gave rise to bureaucratic institutions where decisions, borne by a few, ran through a hierarchical structure. This ensured a system where one authority determined how systems were run and how objectives were met. This is symbolic of how authoritarian governments operate.

Will intelligent machines take, make, or reboot your job – how might AI transform occupations and professions across society? The robots are coming – "Lock up your knowledge and protect your job at all costs!" The apocalyptic warnings are starting to flow of how artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics combined with other disruptive technologies could eliminate the need for humans in the workplace. Equally skeptical voices are rubbishing the idea that anything drastic will happen, citing previous industrial revolutions as proof that new jobs will emerge to fill any gaps created by the automation of existing ones. In practice, no one really knows how quickly AI might eliminate jobs, or what the employment needs will be of the future businesses and industries that have not yet been born.
