China has "started a grand experiment in AI education", with tens of millions of students, that "could reshape how the world learns". Or tell us something else. Like reminding us what must be the main purpose of learning. There are two broad issues combined in that article. The most evident is the intrinsical limits of "artificial intelligence (AI)-based education".

The following is a guest post by Pete McCain, a technology startup enthusiast associated with App Velocity. If you would like to submit a guest post, please contact us. There was a time when we all were highly skeptical about online education because we couldn't fathom a computer screen replacing our classrooms and the education ideals that come with them. But now examining the impact of online education, we can clearly see how eagerly we've embraced the idea of e-learning. It has levelled up education in the developed parts of the world and democratized education where schools and teachers couldn't reach.

The government will look to artificial intelligence (AI) to diagnose and treat long-term life-threatening conditions like cancer and Parkinson's with a financial package worth £133 million. Five Centres of Excellence, located in major cities across the UK, will use a £50 million fund to support existing work in digital pathology and imaging powered by AI. These facilities, which were established in November last year, can also partner with more NHS Trusts to design products based on the digital systems the centres are currently developing. The work predominantly involves improving the speed and accuracy of diagnostics as well as early intervention treatment. The centres themselves are based in Leeds, Oxford, Coventry, Glasgow and London.

CTU in Prague opens a competitive call for applications for fully-funded Ph.D. positions in the context of a recently awarded national center of excellence: Research Center for Informatics (RCI). RCI is the center of scientific excellence in computer science and artificial intelligence that boosts and integrates internationally competitive research conducted at Czech Technical University. The goal of RCI is to foster collaboration between the experts in different fields of computer science, between fundamental scientists and application-driven researchers, but chiefly between the experienced, internationally recognized, senior scientists and graduate students, postdocs and young assistant professors. RCI is focused on longer-term sustainability of excellence computer science and artificial intelligence. Research at RCI is focused on artificial intelligence, multiagent systems, game theory, automated planning, computational robotics with applications to cybersecurity, next-generation transportation systems, intelligent manufacturing, computer vision, machine learning, bioinformatics, computer graphics, embedded security, theoretical computer science or high-performance computing.

That eerily meticulous, methodical, and measured voice. For decades, HAL 9000, the sentient computer and antagonist extraordinaire in Stanley Kubrik's 2001: A Space Odyssey, or the gun-wielding, cyborg assassin the Terminator, have become pop culture's shorthand for Artificial Intelligence (AI), in all its potential and potential malfeasance. Perhaps because these kinds of depictions of AI are so dominant, this technology maintains an aura of intrigue.

A few years ago, Artificial Intelligence seemed like a distant dream, but now it's an everyday reality. From chatbots to self-driving cars, AI is learning more about humans and simultaneously assisting them to make everyday life easier. AI is now increasingly being used in creating digital marketing strategies and has proven to be way more effective than traditional marketing methods. Jumping on to the bandwagon of AI operated marketing, Indian-American entrepreneur Gurbaksh Chahal founded RedLotus. Chahal is a serial entrepreneur and philanthropist who is using AI to completely revolutionize the way digital marketing works for brands.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) or machine learning is being used by military intelligence and at the high strategic level. The question is whether this technology will ever filter down to the soldier actually doing the fighting on the ground? Science fiction novels and movies suggest a system that can communicate with a warfighter in real time and provide situational awareness, but how far is the fiction from reality? "The most important weapon is situation awareness, and there are AI-based tools to help a lot with this," explained Jim Purtilo, associate professor of computer science at the University of Maryland. "Visualization, communication, simple planning, these all go together at squad level," Purtilo told ClearanceJobs. "Being able to leverage augmented reality to'see' where the bad guys are, this is very cool. Being able to aim your squad weapon at a target and in effect use it as a pointer to call in indirect fire, even cooler."

You'd be hard pushed to have a conversation about technology today that doesn't mention artificial intelligence (AI) at some point. The technology has massive potential to shape and enhance our working and personal lives, but for all the pros, some remained worried about the downsides. With talk of job loss a result of increased use of AI, should we be that concerned? Perhaps not if analyst firm Gartner's predictions are to be believed. It reckons that AI will eliminate 1.8 million jobs. The good news is that AI will also be responsible for creating 2.3 million jobs by 2020.
