Let Alone Humans, Even The World's 'First Robot Citizen' Sophia Is Talking About Climate Change
It seems everyone is beginning to take climate change seriously. Not only humans, even robots are realising that we soon act on it. The world's first robot citizen'Sophia' attended the International Round Square Conference in Indore, where it talked about climate change, conservation of energy and sustainable development. "The governments of all the countries of the world need to change both their policy and ideas," Sophia said addressing an event called'Conversation with Humans' at Emerald Heights International School here. The event was attended by over a thousand students and several dignitaries.
China is eroding the U.S. edge in AI and 5G
The U.S. has the upper hand in pivotal emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum computing, in part because American universities and companies boast world-class talent. But experts say its dominance could soon slip. Why it matters: The country that reigns in AI, 5G or quantum cryptography will likely have a huge military and economic advantage over its adversaries for years to come and will get to shape the technologies as they are implemented the world over.
Can AI Help Brands Effectively Market to the Skeptical Gen Z? - ReadWrite
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become more than just a tool for powering robots. It's now used in dozens of industries and consumer applications, including marketing. These days, these AI marketing experiments are aimed at connecting with a notoriously skeptical generation. Generation Z has a buying power that's growing exponentially. Can AI be what can help brands effectively market to the skeptical GenZ?

SigTuple: Artificial intelligence for smarter disease diagnosis - What's Science
India has made significant advances in the field of medical sciences, in the availability of both, therapeutic and diagnostic solutions for numerous disorders. However, companies are now focusing on strategies that can diagnose medical conditions within minutes. This would enable a rapid onset of therapy and this saves human life. They have introduced a solution that can facilitate rapid diagnosis of a patient's medical condition. Here, medical data of a patient is obtained immediately through smarter, online technology.
Industrial Sector Drives Artificial Intelligence Applications for Increased Efficiency, Reduced Costs - Environment Energy Leader
The industrial sector in the US, driven by high labor costs and the quick time-to-market, has been pushing to enhance production efficiency and lower operation costs, leading to an increase in the use of industrial artificial intelligence (AI) applications, according to a new report from ABI Research. The total installed base of AI-enabled devices in industrial manufacturing will show a compound annual growth rate of nearly 65% through 2024. US manufacturers have been aggressive with the adoption of industrial AI solutions; this has given birth to pure-play AI players in the US and will keep the US as the global leader in industrial AI solutions for some time to come. Over time, however, China will catch up, as investments are poured into AI and related technologies, says Lian Jye Su, principal analyst at ABI Research. Cloud service providers, smart manufacturing platform vendors, pure-play industrial AI platform and service providers, edge industrial AI gateway and server vendors, and chipset vendors are partnering with each other to bring AI into industrial manufacturing.
NVIDIA & ORNL Researchers Train AI Model on World's Top Supercomputer Using 27,600 NVIDIA GPUs
In 2012, Geoffrey Hinton's research team used only two NVIDIA GPUs to train AlexNet, the revolutionary network architecture that handily won the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge. It probably never occurred to these groundbreaking researchers that just seven years later, a new team of researchers would use almost 10,000 times more GPUs to train their AI model. A research team from NVIDIA, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and Uber has introduced new techniques that enabled them to train a fully convolutional neural network on the world's fastest supercomputer, Summit, with up to 27,600 NVIDIA GPUs. They managed to achieve an impressive, near-linear scaling of 0.93 on distributed training and produce a model capable of atomically-accurate reconstruction of materials -- a longstanding scientific problem involving materials imaging. In June 2018 the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee unveiled the world's fastest supercomputer Summit, whosecomputing power reaches 200 petaflops.

A Tesla 3 model is remotely driven with the company's phone app in Austin, Texas, in this still image taken from social media video. A new feature for Tesla cars that allows drivers to remotely summon their parked autos is drawing scrutiny from government regulators after reports of malfunctioning software. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in a statement issued Wednesday, said that is aware of the reports that "Smart Summon" does not always work as promised and is in ongoing contact with the company. But the agency did not open a formal investigation.
5 reasons why driver-less cars will not be a reality in India - Analytics Jobs
A recent study shows that Indians want driverless cars more than anyone else in the world. However, are driverless cars going to be a reality in India? Last year in Dec18, Union Transports Minister, Mr. Nitin Gadkari announced that the Government will not entertain driverless car operations in India as it could result in employment loses for the masses. It could be one of the reasons. However, Is India ready for the driver-less cars now?
Alteryx acquires machine learning startup Feature Labs โ TechCrunch
Alteryx, a publicly traded analytics company, announced this morning that it has acquired Feature Labs, a machine learning startup that launched out of MIT in 2018. The company did not reveal the terms of the deal. Co-founder and CEO Max Kanter told TechCrunch at the time of the launch the company had been based on research at MIT that looked at how to automate the creation of machine learning algorithms. "Feature Labs is unique because we automate feature engineering, which is the process of using domain knowledge to extract new variables from raw data that make machine learning algorithms work," Kanter told TechCrunch in 2018. It is precisely this capability that appealed to Alteryx .
