Which uses will face a ban, it's not yet clear: while some cities have banned use by police departments, Portland's focus is restricting use by the private sector. And the debate is not confined to the US. In the UK, there is growing concern over the use of live facial recognition after it emerged that a property developer had been collecting images of people's faces in an area of London for two years without informing them. We still don't know how that data was used, Daragh Murray, a human rights lawyer at the University of Essex, said on stage.

Walgreens is getting its wings. The pharmacy chain has teamed up with Alphabet's drone delivery service Wing to bring food and beverage, over-the-counter medication and other items to consumers. This'store to door' testing is set to begin next month in Virginia and will offer more than 100 products and pre-built'packs' for purchase in the Wing app. Walgreens has teamed up with Alphabet's drone delivery service Wing to bring food and beverage, over-the-counter medication and other items to consumers The partnership between Walgreens and Wing aims to further explore the future of health and wellness products and retail delivery through the air, offering product availability and home delivery minutes after placing orders via the Wing app. 'Walgreens continues to explore partnerships to transform and modernize our customer experience and we are proud to be the first retailer in the U.S. to offer an on-demand commercial drone delivery option with Wing,' said Vish Sankaran, chief innovation officer, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., in a press release.

Amazon's controversial Rekognition computer vision technology is now being used to rid food sites of surprise dick pics. The London-based food delivery service Deliveroo has a definite content moderation challenge. It seems that when there's a problem with a food order, Deliveroo customers often send in a photo of the food with their complaint. Or they arrange the food into the shapes of private parts. Deliveroo's employees, it turns out, don't necessarily want to see stuff like that. So the company uses Rekognition to recognize unsavory photos and blur or delete them before they reach human eyes.

In a short span of time, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI ML) have become the central marketable assets for SaaS and Cloud businesses. "Technology Maturity" of the organizations which are already offering and leveraging AI ML and data infrastructure in the Cloud range from start-ups, to innovators and pioneers, to leaders and trend-setters. The worldwide public cloud services market is projected to grow 17.5 percent in 2019 to total $214.3 billion, up from $182.4 billion in 2018, according to Gartner, Inc. Forrester predicts the Public Cloud market to reach $411 billion by 2022. "Fewer, but larger, Public Cloud platform providers and a maturing SaaS ecosystem will dominate Enterprise Cloud spending. CIOs should use this forecast to benchmark the pace and shape of their public Cloud strategies."

The best trained soldiers can't fulfill their mission empty-handed. Data scientists have their own weapons -- machine learning (ML) software. There is already a cornucopia of articles listing reliable machine learning tools with in-depth descriptions of their functionality. Our goal, however, was to get the feedback of industry experts. And that's why we interviewed data science practitioners -- gurus, really --regarding the useful tools they choose for their projects. The specialists we contacted have various fields of expertise and are working in such companies as Facebook and Samsung. Some of them represent AI startups (Objection Co, NEAR.AI, and Respeecher); some teach at universities (Kharkiv National University of Radioelectronics). The AltexSoft data science team joined the discussion, too.

Many consumers of geospatial and financial data spend hours each day processing, cleansing, and validating the data sets they use for analysis and model-building. This is true of many complex data sets that are highly relevant for global agricultural analysis, particularly those associated with weather, crop health (e.g. At Gro Intelligence, we manage those steps so our users are free to quickly develop models and insights without the delay of pre-processing and quality-checking the relevant data. Global Forecasting System (GFS), a weather model produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is a data source newly available in Gro. The complexity of GFS highlights how our platform can quickly download and process vast amounts of data.

During a recent meeting with one of the world's largest automobile manufacturers headquartered in Japan, we discussed the company's Autonomous Vehicle program. While this might immediately draw thinking to driverless cars, this program is much more pragmatic in terms of the immediate impact that can be had. The focus is on safety features within each of the manufacturer's vehicles, including basic actions such as turning left with oncoming traffic, changing lanes, turning right on red, slowing down or speeding up, rapid braking and more. The company's publicly available Internet-connected cars already have more than 500 sensors capturing speed, location, brake pressure, steering angle, fuel level, tire pressures and temperature, which generates seven billion points of data per day. But the Autonomous Driving System test vehicles carry even more sensors such as cameras and Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR).

Technology has sprinted ahead at an unprecedented rate over the past few years, but the viewing of sports events has largely been left behind. While there have been some developments--such as adding commentary, informational graphics, different camera angles, and slow-motion replays--change has been slow and incremental. Sports fans are no longer content with simply sitting and watching matches. They are passionate, they like to have a wealth of information at their fingertips, and become their own commentator. There is a demand for greater interactivity and immersion.

Speaking at his mid-term semiconductor industry forecast seminar in London this week, Malcolm Penn, chairman and CEO of industry analyst Future Horizons, assured attendees that industry fundamentals were sound, and after a fall of around 15% in 2019, the industry will rebound with around 4% revenue growth to $414 billion in 2020. He said, "The fundamentals are sound. In terms of IC unit growth, fab capacity and average selling price, they are all in in good shape. It's the timing of the upswing in the economy that puts it into doubt." He added, "Rebound is a certainty, but its timing is not."
