We often get questions about whether to use Python or R – and we've come to a conclusion thanks to insight from our community of mentors and learners. Data science is the sexiest job of the 21st century. Data scientists around the world are presented with exciting problems to solve. Within the complex questions they have to ask, a growing mountain of data rests a set of insights that can change entire industries. In order to get there, data scientists often rely on programming languages and tools. Some of the biggest names in tech are coming to TNW Conference in Amsterdam this May.

More than half of the human race could be unemployed in 30 years time as job vacancies are filled by machines, a leading computer science has predicted. A life of leisure could be the norm for a majority of people in decades to come, according to Moshe Vardi from Rice University in Houston, Texas. 'We are approaching a time when machines will be able to outperform humans at almost any task,' Professor Vardi told the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). 'I believe that society needs to confront this question before it is upon us: if machines are capable of doing almost any work humans can do, what will humans do?' Last year, robots were ordered and shipped into North America at a record-breaking rate.

Today I was invited to give a KeyNote Lecture about Artificial Intelligence in the beautiful city of Zaragoza, by Javier Khunel the CEO of the main business school there, media group Heraldo and CaixaBank, to a diverse audience of business owners, entrepreneurs, c level execs, intrapreneurs and many more, at a great venue The CaixaForum building. I have been in the field for the last 21 years, and the last ones as clear advocate of AI and Deep Learning, with a company in the field, and advising Emotiv Inc the Leader in Brain Computer Interfaces about Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. So it is fair to say that I play in a field I know very well. Anyway I always get my facts and figures up to date, and to my surprise I discover an amazing fact: the father of Artificial Intelligence according to the MIT Technology Review is from my own backyard so to speak, from the country I was born Spain. He develop a machine in 1912 called "El Ajedrecista" or "The Chess Player" a very limited precursor of IBM's Deep Blue, and the first true chess computer, but by all means a pioneer (electro mechanical) work in the Artificial Intelligence field, he also build an Algebraic Formula Machine and many other mostly unknown marvels.

The Swedish startup company eEducation Albert is now launching an artificial intelligence application with focus on helping pupils with their homework in math during the last years of primary school. The startup-company intend to expand to other education-levels as well as the international market during the coming years. At the moment AI Albert is filled all available answers to questions to make good work with the pupils and the next week a paid version of the application is being launched to 65 schools in Sweden. "We have created a digital person that we have feeded with advanced logic and knowledge on how you teach the textbook the pupil is sitting with", says one of the founders Arta Mandegari in an interview with di.se. He and the other founder Salman Eskandari is graduates from the Chalmers, technological university of Gothenburg.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display

In an age when technology companies routinely introduce new forms of everyday magic, one problem that remains seemingly unsolved is that of long-form transcription. Sure, voice dictation for documents has been conquered by Nuance's Dragon software. Our phones and smart home devices can understand fairly complex commands, thanks to self-teaching recurrent neural nets and other 21st century wonders. However, the task of providing accurate transcriptions of long blocks of actual human conversation remains beyond the abilities of even today's most advanced software. When solved on a broad scale, it is a problem that might unlock vast archives of oral histories, make podcasts easier to consume for speed-readers (tl;dl), and be a world-changing boon for journalists everywhere, liberating precious hours of sweet life.

Sea Hunter has the capability to hunt stealthy foreign submarines -- China's and Russia's navies both have big submarine fleets -- and follow them for two to three months at a time. Deputy US Defense Secretary Robert Work clarified to Reuters during the event, though, that the drone doesn't have weapons. If the military decides equip it with any, Work said the decision to use them would be made by human personnel. We're guessing they'd be controlled remotely, since the ship wasn't designed to house a crew on board. The ship is slated to start its open-ocean tests this summer off the California coast.

Earlier this week, Facebook updated its iOS app offering voice descriptions of photographs uploaded by its users. A big step forward for accessibility, but it's far from the only company looking to make the world more inclusive to the visually impaired. In fact, rapid advances in artificial intelligence, machine vision and image-recognition technology are opening up the digital world to the blind and visually impaired – and helping them to interact with their surroundings. One interesting example is Austrian start-up BLITAB, which has created the first ever tactile tablet for blind and visually impaired people, dubbed "the iPad for the blind". As Kristina Tsvetanova, co-founder & CEO at BLITAB Technology, explains, the device looks similar to an ebook but displays small physical bubbles instead of using a screen, which means users can view whole pages of braille text at once, without any mechanical elements.
