The 2012 publication Race against the Machine makes the case that the digitalization of work activities is proceeding so rapidly as to cause dislocations in the job market beyond anything previously experienced [1]. Unlike past mechanization/automation, which affected lower-skill blue-collar and white-collar work, today's information technology affects workers high in the education and skill distribution. Machines can substitute for brains as well as brawn. On one estimate, about 47% of total US employment is at risk of computerization [2]. If you doubt whether a robot or some other machine equipped with digital intelligence connected to the internet could outdo you or me in our work in the foreseeable future, consider news reports about an IBM program to "create" new food dishes (chefs beware), the battle between anesthesiologists and computer programs/robots that do their job much cheaper, and the coming version of Watson ("twice as powerful as the original") based on computers connected over the internet via IBM's Cloud [3]. On the darker side, you do not have to be paranoid to be paranoid about the potential technologies that the super-secret computers of the US National Security Agency (NSA) have on their digital drawing-boards.

Orange is a component based data mining and machine learning software suite written in the Python language. It is an Open source data visualization and analysis for novice and experts. Data mining can be done through visual programming or Python scripting. It has components for machine learning. There are add ons for bioinformatics and text mining.

Artificial intelligence (AI) got a lot of press in 2016, not least because of the victory of Google's AI program over Lee Sedol, the world's best Go player. That triumph of machine over human elicited numerous responses, some enthusiastic and some anxious, all sharing the assumption that the goal of artificial intelligence is to achieve "human-level intelligence" or, as some predict, "superintelligence." "I don't care so much whether what we are building is real intelligence," says Peter Norvig, Director of Research at Google. "We know how to build real intelligence--my wife and I did it twice, although she did a lot more of the work. We don't need to duplicate humans. That's why I focus on having tools to help us rather than duplicate what we already know how to do. We want humans and machines to partner and do something that they cannot do on their own."

As AI integration becomes more prominent, one can't help but to think about just how intelligent deep learning technology will be in the future. One of the first place many of our minds go is to AI becoming too intelligent and taking matters into its own virtual hands. How accurate are those portrayals, though? Will it get to a point where we're overpowered by AI, to the point where we're under their metaphorical thumb? TNW Conference is back for its 12th year.

Jill Watson, a bot, was used as a teaching assistant at Georgia Tech, and students never realised she's not human Automating rule-based and routine tasks like grading of tests and assignments can help reduce tedium for teachers We still need human teachers to mentor students, to promote high thinking and to provide the human touch Jill Watson, a bot, was used as a teaching assistant at Georgia Tech, and students never realised she's not human In January this year, Jill Watson joined the Georgia Institute of Technology US as a teaching assistant (TA) to help MSc (computer science) students with their design projects. Her job was to reply to their (thousands of) questions. She was prompt, responded quickly to questions over email, and posted regularly on online fora. She had an easy manner -- often responding with a brief "yep" or welcoming suggestions with a "we'd love to". The students described her as sharp, impersonal and prompt to respond.

Jeremy P. Howard, @JeremyPHoward, is a leading Machine Learning and Deep learning researcher and entrepreneur. His current startup is fast.ai Previously, he was CEO and founder of Enlitic, Kaggle President, and #1 ranked Kaggle competitor. Jeremy initiatives attracts a lot of attention in the industry, so I was very interested to learn from him about his latest project, a first Deep Learning for coders MOOC at course.fast.ai. The course is totally free and includes no advertising - Jeremy created it purely as a service to the community.

On Tuesday, the White House released a chilling report on AI and the economy. It began by positing that "it is to be expected that machines will continue to reach and exceed human performance on more and more tasks," and it warned of massive job losses. Yet to counter this threat, the government makes a recommendation that may sound absurd: we have to increase investment in AI. The risk to productivity and the US's competitive advantage is too high to do anything but double down on it. This approach not only makes sense, but also is the only approach that makes sense.

It explores main concepts from basic to expert level which can help you achieve better grades, develop your academic career, apply your knowledge at work or make business forecasting related decisions.

To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely. There's a kindergarten I walk past on the way to work, and I can't help but peek inside everyday. The classroom -- packed with toys and puzzles, music and books, flower planters and even an occasional cat -- was obviously crafted to be a rich and bustling world for kids to interact and play in. Contrary to its meaning, child's play is far from simple. Playing in a diverse, exciting universe is how we nurture a child's budding intelligence.
