The ParOne Steamathalon took place at the Els Club in Dubai where kids from schools around the city competed in a golf match. But this match was competed between robots. It was a great initiative and a good excuse to show the kids my robot dancing . GUY IN DUBAI Guy in Dubai is an insight into how to experience the wild side of Dubai, UAE. Attempting every extreme adventure, challenge and living the amazing social life the Dubai has to offer. With a little imagination anything is possible in Dubai and we set out to uncover how to get involved.

Here are five things in technology that happened this past week and how they affect your business. Yelp--one of the most prominent review sites--recently rolled out several new ad products. This roll-out gives small business owners the opportunity to manage and control the way they present their business to customers through the site. Using thousands of listings from across the country, Yelp took the data and created tools that allow businesses the best chance at growth, and is offering business owners $300 in Ads to begin engaging their customers through Yelp. With all due respect to Yelp, please don't automatically expect your sales to increase 38 percent just because "customer engagement" has increased that much. In fact, who even knows if customer engagement will increase that much for your specific business?

New York: Artificial Intelligence (AI) can detect the signs of an irregular heart rhythm - atrial fibrillation (AF) in an electrocardiogram (EKG), even if the heart is in normal rhythm at the time of a test, says new Mayo Clinic research. The AI-enabled EKG can detect recent atrial fibrillation that occurred without symptoms or that is impending, potentially improving treatment options. The research could improve the efficiency of the EKG, a noninvasive and widely available method of heart disease screening, said the study published in The Lancet. While common, atrial fibrillation often is fleeting and is challenging to diagnose. "When people come in with a stroke, we really want to know if they had atrial fibrillation in the days before the stroke, because it guides the treatment," said Paul Friedman, Chair of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Mayo Clinic.

At the University of North Carolina Charlotte (UNCC), I recently attended the debut of an exciting new machining-related event where machining had to be explained to some attendees. The inaugural meeting of the Consortium for Self-Aware Machining and Metrology (CSAM) brought together manufacturing experts with mathematicians who had little basic familiarity with machining operations, all with the goal of advancing the development of, in the words of meeting organizer Dr. Tony Schmitz, "production systems with the ability to know their own state and respond." In short, this was a conference entirely focused on uniting machining with artificial intelligence (AI). Of course, the manufacturing people in attendance needed basic instruction also. The hope of applying AI to manufacturing is still in its early stages, and one of the first steps is just to figure out what the one might mean for the other.

On March 7th, the Center for Responsible Business and the Human Rights Center, in collaboration with Microsoft, hosted the third annual conference on Business, Technology, and Human Rights. The event gathered technologists and practitioners across industry, nonprofit, and academia, as well as students around the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Social Impact. As student advisory board members at the Center for Responsible Business, we want to be part of the movement to move business to the forefront of social and environmental impact. Attending this conference and meeting some of the leading practitioners in the field of AI gave us the chance to understand how we can ensure this burgeoning technology can help achieve that goal. AI can serve humanity and promote positive social, environmental, and economic outcomes through a focus on human-centered, inclusive AI design. This means adopting a more conscientious design of AI algorithms and tools that puts the full diversity of human needs and consequences at the center.

Business adoption of artificial intelligence is picking up steam, but still today only 20 percent of organizations that are aware of AI actually use this rapidly advancing technology. One reason: many executives are still wondering, "What can AI do for my business?" Earlier this year at the AI Frontiers conference in Santa Clara, California, we sat down with AI experts from some of the world's leading technology-first organizations to find out about current and future applications of AI. An edited version of the experts' remarks follows the video. Rajat Monga, engineering director, TensorFlow, Google: AI is going to be part of nearly every application we have around us.

ELYAKIM ARMY BASE, ISRAEL – Israel, a world leader in hi-tech, is around 30 years away from its ambition of deploying robot forces, and for now will chose between three prototypes of semi-automated armored vehicles to cocoon its troops in battle, defense officials said on Sunday. Israel has long eyed a future robot army as a means of reducing the use of soldiers on its combustible fronts with Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, just as its air force has increasingly relied on pilot-less drones. The country draws most of its military personnel from teenage conscripts. An unveiling of Israel's newly developed operating suites for ground fighting vehicles made clear it plans to keep soldiers at the controls, albeit entirely insulated from the outside: Hatches battened, the cabins will have smart-screens, fed by outside cameras and sensors, instead of windows or ports. "Now the people will be sitting in the tank, it's closed, they are far better protected, and they can advance without worrying about snipers or other things," said Brig.
