73% of businesses plan to use AI and machine learning tools EM360

#artificialintelligence

Today, more companies are choosing to implement artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in cybersecurity tools. In fact, a Webroot report found that 74% of businesses across the US and Japan have already done so in 2017. ML and AI could be crucial technologies in the future prevention of cyberattacks. However, a recent report found that 87% of researchers believe that it would take longer than three years before they can trust AI to lead cybersecurity decisions. According to Webroot, 73% of organisations plan to use even more AI and ML tools in 2019.


A.I. innovation finds a home on mobile devices

#artificialintelligence

Innovative mobile apps married to increasingly powerful artificial intelligence (A.I.) are rapidly getting smarter -- making them even more helpful for users. These kinds of apps, showcased at VentureBeat's two-day MobileBeat conference here this week, are designed to anticipate user needs. Who knew, for example, that you can use your smartphone to simplify the process of getting a green card to enter the United States or to streamline corporate travel? The program is based on a bot that walks users through a series of simple questions that, when answered, generates a package of documents you can file with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to complete the application process. "When I came to this country, I needed a visa urgently, but it took a month," said Visibot's co-founder and chief operating officer, Andrey Ziniviev.


CBSE adds yoga, artificial intelligence to curriculum

#artificialintelligence

To enhance the multi-disciplinary approach among students, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to introduce artificial intelligence (AI), early childhood care education and yoga as new subjects in the school curriculum from the 2019-2020 session onward. Highlighting the importance of the AI, a circular by the board reads: "Artificial intelligence (AI) is being widely recognised to be the power which will fuel the future global digital economy. India's AI strategy identifies the AI as an opportunity and solution for inclusive economic growth and social development." However, if a candidate desires to reappear in a subject, he/she may do it during the compartment exams. Recently, the board had also integrated art with the teaching and learning process for all academic subjects from Classes I to XII to promote active and experiential learning. The detailed guidelines on it will be released shortly by the board.

Zuniga's team then began work on the device. James Pierce, a doctoral student in UNO's biomechanics program, said they scrapped the grasping hand featured in Zuniga's original design, known as the Cyborg Beast. Zuniga, who started the work at Creighton University, estimated that his team has made about 2,000 of them. He put instructions for making the 3D hand online -- free for anyone to use -- several years ago. The device can be built with 3D printing technology for about $50 in materials.


15 Driver Behaviours In A World of Autonomous Mobility

Dringer: in jurisdictions where autonomous vehicles are required to have a human at the wheel, and where the owner wants the car to cruise in their proximity, ringer drivers, dringers, will be hired as the "driver". The legal boundaries between jurisdictions will be marked by clusters of hired-on-demand humans, waiting to dring. A significant amplification and widespread adoption of the existing US practice of taking on additional passengers to use car-pool lanes. ConvoyAds: The coordination of autonomous vehicles by an advertising agency for the purpose of communicating lifestyle, and/or to engage pedestrians attention. As a simple example, a five car convoy, stereos tuned to the same content, windows wound down.


What if artificial intelligence does away with all the jobs?

#artificialintelligence

For a while, it seemed that Universal Basic Income might be the magic solution to the predicted imminent destruction of all our jobs. Great leaps forward in robotics and artificial intelligence are already threatening widespread human redundancy, with the first largescale cull looming for anyone who drives for a living. Companies from General Motors to Google offshoot Waymo are racing to be the first to flood the roads with completely autonomous cars. In Dubai โ€“ a city rapidly emerging as a pacemaker for technological change โ€“ the emirate's Autonomous Transportation Strategy envisages that a quarter of all journeys in the city will be automated by 2030. Transportation upheaval is just the beginning of the disruption threatened by the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution. The world is already experiencing what economists call "job polarization."


Artificial Intelligence apps to look out for in 2019

#artificialintelligence

Technology has taken a new and imposing leaf, especially with the integration and implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). These technologies have made the process more smooth and reduced the chances of error. Most platforms have adopted to artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. NoBroker uses AI/ML solution to the broker problem in India. Its algorithm helps to identify and ban brokers from the portal.


The Division 2 and the Severing of Politics from Video Games

The New Yorker

In February, the French video-game publisher Ubisoft sent an e-mail to its company mailing list with the subject "Come see what a real government shutdown looks like in the Private Beta." The message came just after President Trump's thirty-five-day closure of the U.S. government and was intended to promote The Division 2, the latest video game to emerge from the Tom Clancy-industrial complex. In it, players join a peacekeeping force that's sent to Washington, D.C., after a terrorist attack incites anarchy and closes the government. Four hours after the initial e-mail, Ubisoft sent a second message apologizing for the first. "We recognize the very real impact of the United States government shut down on thousands of people and did not intend to make light of the situation," it read.


AI-based visual tech to be applied to CCTV cameras

#artificialintelligence

A visually based artificial intelligence (AI) technology developed by South Korea's Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) will be deployed on CCTV cameras for detecting and preventing crimes. The AI technology Deep View, developed by ETRI, is applied to the precise recognition of human behavior based on analysis of joints of the human body in CCTV images. The technology precisely tracks movements of people placing down or throwing objects, as well as physical indications of such crimes as illegally throwing away garbage. Applying this technology in the future will proactively detect and prevent crimes and incidents in city areas. So far, there has been much difficulty in recognizing actions appearing in CCTVs, as studies on action comprehension used widely accessible online data such as YouTube videos.


When Math and Science Collide, Using Artificial Intelligence at the NSA

#artificialintelligence

In a world where technology is constantly evolving, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become prevalent in our everyday routine, whether we realize it or not. As multiple systems continuously gather and transmit information, how can the government ensure the safety of that information? To fully understand the capabilities of AI, it takes teams of highly skilled researchers in an innovative workspace to analyze the competencies of these machines and understand why they do the things they do. "I'm a little hesitant to define artificial intelligence since it has always sounded a little too much like science fiction to me," says Liz Russell, an Applied Research Mathematician at National Security Agency (NSA). She splits the concept of AI into two sectors: machine learning and data science.
