Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most exciting technologies in the world right now. In particular, it's bringing life to ideas that were once just a figment of Hollywood films. However, it has also created polarised viewpoints. Many AI experts are working towards reaping its full potential, while others worry about creating a Black Mirror-esque reality. Perhaps the best way to meet in the middle is by exploring explainable AI.

Today's leading minds talk AI with host Byron Reese On this Episode of Voices in AI Byron speaks with futurist and CEO of the Millennium Project Jerome Glenn about the direction and perception of AI as well as the driving philosophical questions behind it. Listen to this episode or read the full transcript at www.VoicesinAI.com Byron Reese: This is Voices in AI brought to you by GigaOm, and I'm Byron Reese. Today my guest is Jerome Glenn. He has for 23 years been the Director and CEO of the Millennium Project.

Mary Davies, president of Beanstalk Internet Marketing, is the first recipient of the Search Engine Journal Community Award. Mary received the award last week during the Pubcon Pro conference in Las Vegas. We honored Mary in recognition for all her hard work and contributions to Search Engine Journal over the past year – specifically for her work co-managing the weekly Friday Focus column, which we launched this year. Throughout the year, Mary has generously devoted her free time and put her seemingly tireless energy into this column. She has provided great guidance to all of our authors and has been instrumental in making sure we have a constant stream of high-quality articles every week.

"Talking is just something you do, isn't it?" asks Trevor Cox. "We take chatting for granted, and yet it's such an important part of our lives and such a complicated thing." Cox is a professor of acoustic engineering at the University of Salford and an expert in the science of sound. The Verge spoke to Cox about the history of the human voice, AI, and the strangeness of the inner voice. This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.

This article started out as an addendum to a chapter in our book, Data Visualization: A History of Visual Thinking and Graphic Communication (Friendly & Wainer, 2020). In this we claimed that much of the history of data visualization could be seen as combination of three forces: (1) important scientific problems of the day, (2) a developing abundance of data, and (3) the cognitive ability of some heroes in this history to conceive solutions to problems by visual imagination. In the book and what follows we make frequent reference to cognitive aspects of the visual understanding of phenomena and their expression in graphic displays: "inner vision", "graphic communication", "visual insight" are some of the terms we use. An early metaphor for this and an early title for our book was "A gleam in the mind's eye." We give some additional explanations and examples here. We also want to place this topic in a wider framework.

What will work look like when everything is digitally transformed, artificial intelligence is optimally deployed and robots are embedded in every aspect of our economy? That's hard to know, but one company that's focused on making work work better, and helping businesses digitally transform, is Box. Box, which went public in 2015, still acts very much like a Silicon Valley startup. Except, of course, grown up, with partnerships with Google and IBM and just about any other important company you can think of. Elements of this image furnished by NASA.

Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher FRS[3] (17 February 1890 – 29 July 1962) was a British statistician and geneticist. For his work in statistics, he has been described as "a genius who almost single-handedly created the foundations for modern statistical science"[4] and "the single most important figure in 20th century statistics".[5] In genetics, his work used mathematics to combine Mendelian genetics and natural selection; this contributed to the revival of Darwinism in the early 20th-century revision of the theory of evolution known as the modern synthesis. For his contributions to biology, Fisher has been called "the greatest of Darwin's successors".[6] From 1919 onward, he worked at the Rothamsted Experimental Station for 14 years;[7] there, he analysed its immense data from crop experiments since the 1840s, and developed the analysis of variance (ANOVA).

Today's podcast features recent interviews with [two] experts in top AI management positions discussing recent developments within their companies and the overall sector: Dr. Danny Rittman, CTO of GBT Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK:GTCH), and Mr. Babak Hodjat, VP of Evolutionary AI, Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (NasdaqGS:CTSH). Listen to the podcast interview with Dr. Danny Rittman, CTO of GBT Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK:GTCH) discussing the company's recently announced implementation and development of recurrent relational reasoning (RRN) in its AI, and its applications in the medical field. In a recently published press release, GBT Technologies CTO, Dr. Danny Rittman explained the company's rationale for incorporating recurrent relational reasoning (RRN) into its Avant! "Our goal is to implement a fundamental part of human intelligence called relational reasoning, which is planned to enable Avant! to acquire expertise on its own by understanding object's relations. Avant! will include an advanced artificial neural network (ANN) capable of pattern recognition and reasoning about those patterns which is very similar to the human brain."

StradVision has raised $16.6M in total. We talked with Junhwan Kim, its CEO. How would you describe StradVision in a single tweet? StradVision is a pioneer in deep learning-based vision processing technology, providing the software that will allow Advanced Driver-Assistance Aystems (ADAS) in autonomous vehicles to reach the next level of safety, and usher in the era of the fully autonomous vehicle. How did it all start and why?
