Any company that implements machine learning alternatives must weigh hazards and benefits carefully and above all, never push an AI technology to use before it is thoroughly tested. FREMONT, CA- Artificial intelligence (AI) has come a long way, and it is here to stay. AI and machine learning are now driving many of the biggest businesses in the world. There is no sign of slowing down. AI can simplify task like responding to simple customer queries, coordination of schedules, recording and transcribing minutes of meetings, consolidating data, and perform trend-based analysis.

When Neha Samad, who works as a senior operator at New Engineering Works' factory in Jamshedpur, was asked to train a robot to carry out maintenance of the automated machine she works with, she felt empowered, not threatened. "Before collaborative robots were introduced on the factory floor, we had to stand for more than eight hours to operate our machines and we did all the physical work, like loading and unloading components on the conveyer belt," she says. The chief executive officer of the company, Divesh Debuka, introduced "cobots", small collaborative robots by Universal Robots, in the factory three years ago to make output more efficient. Samad adapted, learnt and quickly figured how to give instructions to the cobot and make it do the physical part of her job. Her daily job, like the other human operators in the factory, became overseeing and operating machines and the cobots and keeping a tab on quality.

AI has made major strides in the last decade, from beating the world champion of Go, to learning how to program, to telling fantastical short stories. However, a basic human trait continues to elude machines: common sense. Common sense is a big term with plenty of baggage, but it typically includes shared background knowledge (I know certain facts about the world, like "the sky is blue," and I know that you know them too), elements of logic, and the ability to infer what is plausible. It looms large as one of the hardest and most central problems in AI. Machines can seem glaringly unintelligent when they lack common sense.

Flight Simulator was once one of the jewels in Microsoft's crown, as close to synonymous with PC gaming as it's possible to get. The series debuted a staggering 37 years ago, pre-dating even Windows as an operating system, and demanded exacting attention from players as they guided increasingly detailed planes safely through the skies. Over the course of a dozen iterations spanning nearly four decades, the flying experience evolved from blocky cockpit views to full aerial tours with a hangar's worth of realistically modelled aircraft to get to grips with. It's been running so long that even Microsoft does not know its sales figures, but Flight Simulator has certainly been played by millions. Yet as PC gaming blossomed, becoming home to everything from competitive shooters to arthouse narrative games, Flight Simulator's star began to wane. The last major release was 2006's Microsoft Flight Simulator X (eventually revamped and repackaged for Steam in 2014), while 2012's simplified spin-off, Microsoft Flight, had an aborted take off, cancelled a mere five months after launch.

"Anonymised" data lies at the core of everything from modern medical research to personalised recommendations and modern AI techniques. Unfortunately, according to a paper, successfully anonymising data is practically impossible for any complex dataset. An anonymised dataset is supposed to have had all personally identifiable information removed from it, while retaining a core of useful information for researchers to operate on without fear of invading privacy. For instance, a hospital may remove patients' names, addresses and dates of birth from a set of health records in the hope researchers may be able to use the large sets of records to uncover hidden links between conditions. But in practice, data can be deanonymised in a number of ways.

SINGAPORE - Imagine a bot on your work computer that tracks your every click and keystroke, helping determine which of your tasks could be handled by one of its robot brethren. It's McKinsey & Co.'s entry into robotic process automation, which is spreading "robots" from the factory floor to the office cubicle as advancing technologies make it easier and more economically feasible for software to perform cognitive tasks now done by humans. It's transforming office work across the world, including in the Philippines' offshoring business processing centers, which employ more than a million people and generate annual revenue equal to about 7.5 percent of the nation's gross domestic product. It could cost a lot of people their jobs, but as McKinsey noted in a report earlier this year, it could also help their companies stay competitive and even capture a bigger market share. If bots haven't reached your office yet, just wait.

Self-driving cars promise to make driving a far safer activity, and they'll let occupants use their transportation time for leisure or work tasks. The first company to break through the last remaining barriers to self-driving vehicles stands to benefit tremendously, but who's currently winning? Here are a few of the companies leading the way and some factors that will decide which one wins. Although Google is often credited with advances in self-driving cars, the project is being run by Waymo, which is owned by Google's parent company, Alphabet. Name issues aside, Waymo is widely viewed as the current leader in developing self-driving cars, and for good reason.

The rapid rise of meal delivery services is happening in plain sight, as companies like Deliveroo and Uber Eats send riders and drivers zipping around town with takeout of every variety. But as so often happens with new platforms, a secondary and less visible revolution is rippling across the restaurant industry thanks to the rise of virtual kitchens. London-based Taster is an example of how the intersection of meal delivery services, artificial intelligence, and data is creating opportunities that threaten the restaurant industry with even greater disruption. While meal delivery services initially seemed like a boom for local restaurants, it is virtual kitchens -- with their ability to optimize and automate -- that may ultimately win the food wars. Taster was founded two years ago by Anton Soulier, an early employee of Deliveroo who wanted to take this food transformation further. "I thought there was a big opportunity to build a food company on top of these platforms," he said.
