Internal company documents from IBM show that medical experts working with the company's Watson supercomputer found "multiple examples of unsafe and incorrect treatment recommendations" when using the software, according to a report from Stat News. Stat reviewed documents that were included in two presentations given in June and July 2017 by IBM Watson's former deputy health chief Andrew Norden. The documents were reportedly shared with IBM Watson Health management. According to Stat, those documents provided strong criticism of the Watson for Oncology system, and stated that the "often inaccurate" suggestions made by the product bring up "serious questions about the process for building content and the underlying technology." One example in the documents is the case of a 65-year-old man diagnosed with lung cancer, who also seemed to have severe bleeding.

To help consumers on their color-decision journey, we launched a few things that have really been about applying technology to an insight based on real human behavior and individual consumer inputs. The first initiative, "Color Discovery" is a tool that allows consumers to go in and start with their project, and then pick what feeling they're trying to achieve for their space. So now instead of "here's a whole catalog of over 3000 colors and pick one" instead we say, "here's a curated, personalized recommendation based on what they're trying to do." In fact we found that people who use this tool are much more likely to take a sample, than the average site visitor. It's the best of what individual consumer data combined with advanced technology can do to deliver personalized recommendations.

Last week, Amazon Studios issued a series order for a new domestic-dystopia drama from Legion writer Nathaniel Halpern. The show, called Tales From the Loop, is based on Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag's award-winning artbook of the same name. Stålenhag's digital paintings, which combine bucolic visions of rural Sweden with sci-fi elements, evoke a haunting familiarity. I caught up with Stålenhag this week to understand his artistic process for Tales From the Loop and to find out what he was most excited to see translated onto the screen. This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.

My name is Kris Coratti. Thank you for joining us on this very rainy morning. I'm glad you all made it out. We are going to have a fascinating series of discussion this morning on artificial intelligence. This is the latest in our ongoing event series that we call "Transformers." And our speakers this morning are going to explore the regulatory questions around this technology. They going to look at how AI is reshaping the way we live and work. And they're going to discuss how to make sure this technology is used responsibly in the future. Before we begin, I just want to quickly thank our presenting sponsor for this even, Software.org, And so now I'd like to go ahead and welcome to the stage The Washington Post's Tony Romm and Senators Maria Cantwell and Todd Young. And for those who don't know, Senator Cantwell is a Democrat from Washington State. Both are members of a Senate commerce committee which touches on artificial intelligence and many tech issues that we'll talk about today.

The first ever computer manual which was written by a Victorian woman 175 years ago has been sold at auction for nearly £100,000 - nearly 20 times its expected price. The edition, 'Sketch of the Analytical Engine by by L.F. Menabrea with notes by Ada Lovelace', was snapped up by an anonymous buyer after being sold by Moore Allen & Innocent in Cirencester, Glocestershire. Ada, the only legitimate child of poet Lord Byron, was a maths prodigy who died aged 36. A rare book by Ada Lovelace, the Victorian woman renowned as the world's first computer programmer has sold at auction for £95,000 During her short life, she played a key role in the early development of computer programming, becoming friends with mathematician Charles Babbage over his automatic mechanical calculator, the Difference Engine. Lovelace played a key role in the 1843 book'Sketch of the Analytical Engine', of which just seven copies are thought to exist - one of which sold at auction for £95,000.

On this week's episode of my podcast, I Have to Ask, I spoke to Annie Lowrey, a contributing editor at the Atlantic and the author of the new book Give People Money: How a Universal Basic Income Would End Poverty, Revolutionize Work, and Remake the World. It's about universal basic income--the idea that the government would give all its citizens checks every month. Versions of this proposal have caught on with people on the left as well as tech leaders in Silicon Valley and even some hardcore libertarians. Lowrey has written for many years now about economics, but Give People Money is both a reported work--she travels to Kenya, South Korea, and India to view their economic experiments--and a policy brief on what she believes can help alleviate some of the social and political discontent that has arisen from economic change and dislocation. Below is an edited excerpt from the show. In it, we discuss the benefits and drawbacks of UBI, whether or not we should be skeptical that so many Silicon Valley titans have embraced the idea, and how to make the safety net less vulnerable to political attacks.

To learn about the innovation in MedTech industry, Cédric travelled to Bern and conducted a must-see interview with Carlos Ciller, CEO & co-founder of RetinAI. In this episode, we are discovering how AI can be applied to healthcare and what are the current trends in ophthalmology. Carlos Ciller is a PhD holder in Machine Learning & Medical Imaging in Ophthalmology. He studied at EPFL in Lausanne and also spent a year at Imperial College in London. As he explains, he was always looking for a way to put technology and innovation at the service of humanity.

A recent study by the McKinsey Global Institute found that at least one-third of workers in most occupations can be replaced by robots. That translates into 800 million lost jobs, worldwide. In the U.S., according to McKinsey, 70 million Americans could become casualties to robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning by the year 2030. The equivalent figure for Canada is about eight million jobs -- in both cases, roughly 30 per cent of the workforce. It might be thought the introduction of such revolutionary technologies would generate enough new employment to make up the difference. But that is not the conclusion of the study.

Two Japanese national research institutes have succeeded in using artificial intelligence to identify early stage stomach cancer with a high accuracy rate. The breakthrough may help extend the lives of patients in Japan, where stomach cancer is one of the leading causes of death. According to the National Cancer Center, 45,531 people died of stomach cancer in 2016. According to Riken and the National Cancer Center, it took AI only 0.004 seconds to judge whether an endoscopic image showed early stage cancer or normal stomach tissue. AI correctly detected cancer in 80 percent of cancer images, while the accuracy rate was 95 percent for normal tissue.

CSG, a business support solutions (BSS) provider said that telecom carriers are increasingly leveraging the cloud to bring down the recurring operational costs, and with India's top service provider Bharti Airtel as one of the telcos to deploy revenue management platform, the US-headquartered company feels that the IoT and AI would fundamentally the change the way we live, work and play.
