The buzzy term you see everywhere that's supposed to be taking over everything from cosmetics to dating to body parts to stuff you put on your eye. You don't want it, but you need it if you drive. Otherwise you'll be left on the side of the race track (aka the street) with a disconnected bumper that you have to pay full price to fix, and potentially, your victim's ruined Maserati which you will also have to pay out-of-pocket to repair. Auto insurance is also required by 48 states and the District of Columbia. So you do need to insure your ride to make sure you don't end up in the clink or worse, have to pay a fine.

Breakthroughs in AI happen with a team of people working behind the scenes to make it all possible. If AI development were a sport, it'd be closer to baseball than boxing. Headlines might make it seem like AI breakthroughs happen with a big knockout punch, but the reality is more akin to a baseball team grinding through a 162-game season. It's a process that involves having the right people in place over a long stretch, and fielding the best team is essential for success. The root cause for this can be found in the data.

Nvidia have announced that they've introduced a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) Deep Learning model that "aims to catapult the graphics industry into the AI Age," and the result is the first ever interactive AI rendered virtual world. In short, Nvidia now has an AI capable of rendering high definition virtual environments, that can be used to create Virtual Reality (VR) games and simulations, in real time, and that's big because it takes the effort and cost out of having to design and make them from scratch, which has all sorts of advantages. In order to work their magic the researchers used what they called a Conditional Generative Neural Network as a starting point and then trained a neural network to render new 3D environments, and now the breakthrough will allow developers and artists of all kinds to create new interactive 3D virtual worlds based on videos from the real world, dramatically lowering the cost and time it takes to create virtual worlds. "NVIDIA has been creating new ways to generate interactive graphics for 25 years – and this is the first time we can do this with a neural network," said the leader of the Nvidia researchers Bryan Catanzaro, Vice President of Applied Deep Learning at Nvidia. "Neural networks – specifically – generative models like these are going to change the way graphics are created."

You may not be using machine learning, often referred to as artificial intelligence, for business applications yet, but there is little doubt you have read or heard about how it could or should be used. The issue is not that there are not legitimate business uses for machine learning (ML) options, the challenge is knowing which types of ML may work best for your business needs and finding the right provider or recruiting the right people to implement it. Initially understanding machine learning is hard, but with a few big concepts under your belt, it becomes easy. It then gets complicated again, but by then you will be ready to deal with generative adversarial networks! This is the most basic version about the content and should get you ready to listen to our special A Word On Artificial Intelligence podcast hosted by Primedia Broadcasting Head of Digital Allan Kent.

Whether it is the Irish backstop or English Channel, the issue of how the UK and Europe are controlling their borders has been thrust into the public consciousness. And as with many of the globe's conundrums, countries and private companies are turning to ever more futuristic, and often controversial, technologies in order to protect their borders. There are, of course, immediate issues for Britain's borders with quandaries such as the potential hard border in Northern Ireland following Brexit, with the nebulous'technology' promised by some politicians either still being developed or put under question. One such future proposal is a satellite system that registered mobile phones as they pass the border, while sensors buried in the ground or radars on flying drones could detect possible unlawful breaches of the boundaries. But that would still leave the question of invasive, even if largely invisible, checks that run against the Good Friday Agreement.

With AI's enormous potentials and amidst the growing demand for high-tech banking services from tech-savvy customers, a number of financial institutions are leaving no stones unturned in their quest for market leadership in the era of automation. Take for instance the highly important area of enhanced customer experience. Financial institutions have been harnessing the power of AI to deliver efficient and personalized services to achieve higher client satisfaction level and, more importantly, win customer loyalty. Banks are now more empowered to predict customer behavioural patterns by leveraging innovative AI tools-- a capability that allows for the delivery of customized products and services. In terms of customer interaction, financial institutions are utilizing'chatbots' applications acting as customer service agents.

For an extremely prolonged stretch of time, women working in the fields of science, innovation, engineering and math are doing wonders. Take for instance the tale of Katherine Johnson and her partners, who made noteworthy commitments to the early years of NASA's space program. The world had not in any case known about her name until two years back, when the film, Hidden Figures, hit the screens. Women exceed expectations at communication, sustaining a positive aura in the group, critical thinking, problem-solving among an entire host of other things! Let's have a look at the ladies who are doing everything and motivating us to be a superior version of ourselves each and every day.

He is a technical expert in 5G, 4G, 3G and 2G, multi-vendor RAN (Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia), network optimisation processes, network performance management and network configuration management. We spoke to him about 5G, IoT, AI, and how businesses can best take advantage of them – including how developed countries developed countries in industries affected by the offshoring advent of the 1990s and 2000s can regain a competitive position. Is 5G as revolutionary as it appears to be? The proposed vision for 5G technology is revolutionary, and its architecture truly innovative. It offers features that enhance not only network performance, but also the way networks are built and deployed.

Several international airlines were diverting planes from flying over the Strait of Hormuz and parts of Iran on Friday, a day after the Iranian military shot down an American surveillance drone and the United States went to the brink of launching a retaliatory strike. The Federal Aviation Administration issued an emergency order early Friday that prohibited all American flights in Tehran-controlled airspace above the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman because of "heightened military activities and increased political tensions." The agency said that flight operations in the area were prohibited "until further notice." United Airlines said in a statement that after a security assessment, it had suspended flights between Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey and Mumbai, India, that typically fly through Iranian airspace. The German airline Lufthansa said in an emailed statement that its planes would not fly over the Strait of Hormuz and that the diversion area was likely to expand.
