Disruptive technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are making their way into classrooms as humanoid robots to teach students and interact with them as teachers do, at a school in Bengaluru. Though the 5 foot 7 inch robots, dressed in formal female attire, do not replace real teachers, they complement them in teaching lessons in the subjects and reply to FAQs (frequently asked questions) from students. "We have programmed the interactive robots to answer questions students frequently ask on the subjects and related to them. With AI in play, the robots are able to respond to questions and doubts of our wards after a lesson is taught," said Mr Rao. The private international day-cum-boarding school has 25 co-ed students in each of the four sections for Classes 7-9.

Businesses are using voice assistants to answer rote, repetitive questions faster and cheaper so HR, IT and other departments can focus on higher value tasks. In some cases, businesses are just replacing website and internal portal Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) pages with simple, deterministically programmed chatbots. In other cases, they're replacing or supplementing what employees have traditionally done with digital counterparts that use machine learning. "Before one of our clients decided to implement a recruitment voice assistant, HR department employees had to personally process all phone calls from job seekers. They also had to create a new profile for every new candidate and fill in the information manually, which took a lot of time," said Julia Ryzh, chief marketing officer at voice experience platform provider Just AI. "It was [also] hard to tell whether the candidate had already applied for the position in question, since all the necessary pieces of information were stored in different places."

The doctor-patient relationship is simple -- if the patient feels something is off, they go to the doctor and talk about the ailments they are facing. As a doctor, you check their vitals, offer a diagnosis after examination and prescribe relevant medication. The hospital-patient relationship is, however, far from simple. Finding the relevant doctor or specialist, scheduling appointments with the said doctor based on their availability, follow-ups, referrals, insurances, etc. are some of the operational processes that your patients have to go through before and after consulting the doctor. The pre and post-consulting also bring with it a multitude of frequently asked questions regarding diet, sleeping routine and more.

Humanity has had its first ever peek at a black hole. The blazing image of a red and yellow circle is the first anyone has seen of the phenomenon. As well as giving an unprecedented view of one of the most powerful and mysterious things in the universe, it also helps develop our understanding of the fundamental forces that shape space. Scientists will be examining what exactly all the findings from this photo mean for years to come. And they expect to go on to discover even more, as they use the same techniques on other sources inside other galaxies.

Funnelback is powered by a machine learning algorithm that is working non-stop to deliver just the right results, every time.

At the heart of our ranking algorithm lives more than 70 unique relevancy factors, determining which pages to return and the order to rank them.

As a decision maker, you're always looking to increase business productivity, efficiency and turnover. You're well aware that there are technologies out there that can help you, but there's questions you'd like answered which might encourage you to take the leap. What is AI and Machine Learning? To put it simply, AI is intelligence exhibited by computers. Machine Learning is a subfield of AI, whereby computers have the ability to learn and develop without being specifically programmed. How does Machine Learning work?

How can I stop the intrusion of Google into almost everything? Google's motto used to be "don't be evil", but in the eyes of some it has now taken on the mantle of the "evil empire" from Microsoft, which Bill Gates and crew inherited from the IBM mocked in the Mac's launch advert in 1984. The EU has fined Google €2.4bn (£2.2bn) for abusing its search monopoly by favouring its products. Most recently, Google was fined €4.34bn for "very serious illegal behaviour" in using Android "to cement its dominance as a search engine", according to the EU's competition commissioner, Margrethe Vestager, a charge the company contests. Google started by taking over the search engine market.

Each year that goes by, there seems to be dozens of new technologies that are sold to us as'life-changing' or as something that will'save the world.' Some of these technologies you will never hear about, others will last, and one or two will actually do what they say. However, in 2018, when it seems like a new technology comes out every week, consumers are bound to have questions like "What is machine learning?" In the pursuit of helping answer these questions, we have put together ten of the most frequently asked questions that we receive. Our hope is to answer these for you, not just so you can stay up to date on new technologies, but potentially find opportunities to use these platforms for future success. Without further ado, let's jump into some FAQs.

Regularly receiving queries about Artificial Intelligence is of course flattering, but can also be bothersome, as some of the most regularly asked questions could easily be answered via a quick Google search. A number of people are however wary of doing so, partly because of movies' unrealistic image of A.I (among other unrealistic expectations), and the current startup culture which venerates coders and techies, putting them and their knowledge on a pedestal. With that in mind, below is a simple, quick and no-nonsense look at A.I through the lens of the questions I most frequently get asked. A.I is not a mere constellation of processes and technologies, but also a business topic and an academic matter, while also being an ethics concern (among other things). I'd argue that to keep things very easy you could define A.I in three ways: I mean, yes, of course.
