Not the Terminator kind that will take over the world. But definitely, the kind that are taking over our jobs! We live in an automated world, where our Uber rides are booked by Alexa and Siri gives us driving directions. PwC estimates that 30% of jobs will be impacted by automation by 2030. You and I may become irrelevant.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to build a scalable image hashing search engine using OpenCV, Python, and VP-Trees. Back in 2017, I wrote a tutorial on image hashing with OpenCV and Python (which is required reading for this tutorial). That guide showed you how to find identical/duplicate images in a given dataset. However, there was a scalability problem with that original tutorial -- namely that it did not scale! To find near-duplicate images, our original image hashing method would require us to perform a linear search, comparing the query hash to each individual image hash in our dataset. In a practical, real-world application that's far too slow -- we need to find a way to reduce that search to sub-linear time complexity. But how can we reduce search time so dramatically?

Sometimes a potential partner or client decides to wait for the next best concept (sometimes without giving you a chance). Sometimes they are simply phishing (have no intention of taking a next step). My team is trying to establish a standard representation of learning expectations and build a community of conscientious learners who apply skills properly, so our strategy depends on building awareness; usually do not hold back in communicating our vision. Started to hear a phrase'future proof' and thought how this applies to our skills applications. I have made the case for the relevancy of skills in education, higher education, and professional development in many previous posts; here are a few of them: Where Superintendents Stand on Key Issues, Workforce Strategy Focuses on Skills, Root Causes of Skills Gap, Forecast Hire and Train Based on Skills, and Why Skills Mapping.

If you stumble over your grammar, take comfort in this: Tech companies are supercharging their digital grammar editors with artificial intelligence and machine learning in an attempt to make clear, persuasive writing easier than ever. Google became the latest to enter the game last week, when the tech giant announced it would be adding an artificial intelligence-powered tool that offers automatic detection of grammar mistakes while composing messages in Gmail, as well as auto-correction of some common spelling mistakes. The company introduced a similar AI-driven function to documents in G Suite earlier this year. While some education experts applaud the advancement of high-tech grammar tools as a way to help people more clearly express their thoughts, others aren't so sure. Artificial intelligence, according to the contrarians, is only as smart as the humans who program it, and often just as biased.

This story is part of a series on how we learn--from augmented reality to music-training devices. By now you must have heard the good news about our savior, artificial intelligence. It makes you look better in selfies, prevents blindness, and can even turn water into tastier beer. Tech giants and governments say we're living in a golden age of AI. Truth is, most times you hear the term artificial intelligence, the specific technology at work is called machine learning.

Emerging technologies such as virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics will strongly influence the careers we do in the future, according to new research from BAE Systems. Almost half of young people (47%) aged between 16-24 believe that one day they will work in a role that doesn't exist yet, but only one-in-five (18%) think they are equipped with the skills required to future-proof their careers. Three-quarters (74%) also feel that they are not getting enough information about careers that will be available in the future. These are the findings of a new study by BAE Systems, which also revealed that 70% of young people want more guidance on the skills that will be in demand in the next 20 years to help make more informed decisions on their further education and careers. In response to these findings, futurists and technologists at BAE Systems have predicted what they think will be the the top jobs in 2040 and the areas of study that students should pursue to equip them with relevant skills.

In this course you will learn what Artificial Intelligence (AI) is, explore use cases and applications of AI, understand AI concepts and terms like machine learning, deep learning and neural networks. You will be exposed to various issues and concerns surrounding AI such as ethics and bias, & jobs, and get advice from experts about learning and starting a career in AI. You will also demonstrate AI in action with a mini project. This course does not require any programming or computer science expertise and is designed to introduce the basics of AI to anyone whether you have a technical background or not.

From IT to marketing to HR, artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way throughout the enterprise. For security professionals, learning about the technology and how to apply it can be critical for keeping up with malicious actors and turning security into an asset. The question is how to do so without creating a new section on the "expense" side of the ledger. The good news: Tools are available that allow virtually anyone with basic software development skills to begin honing their AI chops for a price that ranges from free to a few hundred dollars. AI security involves many areas of research, says Jason Mancuso, a research scientist at Dropout Labs who spoke at the AI Village at DEF CON.

As automation, AI, and new job models reconfigure the business world, lifelong learning has become accepted as an economic imperative. Eighty percent of CEOs now believe the need for new skills is their biggest business challenge. For employees, research now shows that opportunities for development have become the second most important factor in workplace happiness (after the nature of the work itself). At the most fundamental level, we are a neotenic species, born with an instinct to learn throughout our lives. So it makes sense that at work we are constantly looking for ways to do things better; indeed, the growth-mindset movement is based on this human need.
