The conference focuses on four main themes and will be augmented by additional discussions. Our key themes are structural and institutional change in gender equality in R&I; a broader concept of equality in R&I; digitalization and gender equality; and gender equality in innovation. Follow conference live stream from this link. This session will take stock of the advancement over the past 20 years of gender equality policy in European research and innovation, its achievements and continued challenges. Structural change is today the dominant approach to advancing gender equality in Research Funding and Performing Organisations in the EU.

On Linkedin recently I have been seeing a lot of people talking about how we can reduce the number of hours that we work, with the idea being that a reduction of hours and more free time will lead to us being happier and healthier and therefore increasing productivity when we are working. Some of the methods I have seen suggested include things like unlimited paid holiday and flexi-time. Recently at the Labour Party conference, they announced that if elected they would implement a 4 day week. Many project managers I'm sure would appreciate reducing the number of hours worked, and it will no doubt improve our lives away from work. But at the end of the day, we still need to make sure that we deliver the projects to deadline.

Does artificial intelligence pose a major threat or are the dangers overblown? "If you're not concerned about AI safety, you should be. "I think we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. If I were to guess like what our biggest existential threat is, it's probably that. So we need to be very careful with the artificial intelligence.

CHIBA – Corporate Japan's growing need to rely on new technologies to cope with a shrinking workforce was on show at the recently held CEATEC technology exhibition in the city of Chiba, with service industry companies turning out in greater numbers this year. As more and more skilled workers reach retirement across various industries in rapidly graying Japan, businesses are turning to new technologies to hand down field experience and knowledge to younger workers. East Nippon Expressway Co., operator of expressways and toll roads in Japan, is one of the companies adopting "mixed reality" technology as it seeks to boost training of inspection and maintenance personnel. "We are increasingly required by the government to conduct checks on roads but our skilled workers are aging and cannot work at their fullest anymore. So we needed to rely on high tech to share and pass on their know-how to the younger employees," said Masaki Ishiguro, official in charge of maintenance at the firm, also known as Nexco East.

"One of the most exciting things about deep learning reconstruction is how it redefines the usual negotiation between exam time and image quality. This could lead to significant downstream value for imaging operations and for patient experience," said Christopher Hess, MD, Chair of the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at UCSF. SubtleMR delivers a significant improvement in the quality of noisy images, which is particularly beneficial for patients who have difficulty holding still for long periods of time. Artifact-ridden images and the need for re-scans are a challenge for both patients and physicians. SubtleMR integrates seamlessly into the radiology workflow, and it is compatible with any brand of MRI scanner and PACS.

Sen. Elizabeth WarrenElizabeth Ann WarrenTrump says his Doral resort will no longer host G-7 after backlash Ocasio-Cortez: Sanders' heart attack was a'gut check' moment Ocasio-Cortez tweets endorsement of Sanders MORE (D-Mass) and entrepreneur Andrew YangAndrew YangYang cautions Democrats: Impeachment might not be'successful' Yang defends Gabbard: She'deserves much more respect' Super PAC seeks to spend more than million supporting Yang MORE's fight over jobs and automation at the last Democratic debate highlighted the divide over the contentious issue, including among experts. Warren and Yang sparred at Tuesday's presidential debate over whether automation or trade were primarily responsible for eliminating jobs in key parts of the country. Yang's campaign is centered around a universal basic income, which would pay every adult citizen $1,000 a month to combat the job loss brought on by automation. Americans, he said, are already seeing the effects of speedy technological advancement. "Their Main Street stores are closing. They see a self-serve kiosk in every McDonalds, every grocery store, every CVS," he said at the debate in Ohio.

Cybersecurity is increasingly supported by artificial intelligence and machine learning tools, but humans are still required to interpret the data, federal agency data officers said at a recent AFCEA Bethesda panel. The amount of data generated by AI and machine learning cybersecurity tools is staggering, panelists said. Those automated tools that are tackling repetitive monitoring work are producing bytes by the trillion. Even at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, "we're bringing in terabytes of log data per day, and we're not a particularly large agency," said Adrian Monza, USCIS deputy chief information security officer and chief security architect. "You have to have data scientists" to make sense of it, he added.

New Delhi, Oct 20 (IANS) Stressing integration and right balance between human and artificial intelligence (AI), Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on Sunday said the debate on AI should focus on bridging the gap between human intentions and AI, and not its likely negative impact. Speaking at the launch of book'Bridgital Nation', written by N. Chandrasekaran and Roopa Purushottam, Modi said, "The debate should not be on what are the dangers from AI, but how to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and human intentions." He said the emphasis should be on ways to upgrade skills as per the demand. "Let AI be just another aid, which is little more sophisticated," he said. Released the book, 'Bridgital Nation: Solving Technology's People Problem' written by N. Chandrasekaran and Roopa Purushothaman.

Tokyo AI company Exawizards is using deep learning to analyze unstructured nursing care data such as audio and video recordings. Faced with a rapidly aging population, Japan is turning to new solutions for a many-faceted problem. Amid a low birthrate, more than one-fifth of Japanese are now 70 or older, according to government data. Meanwhile, there are not enough people to care for this cohort. By 2025, there will be a shortfall of 340,000 nursing care workers. Under the Abe administration, Japan has actively welcomed foreign professionals as one measure to address this issue.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged business leaders and technocrats to build a'bridge' between the artificial intelligence (AI) and human intentions, while stating that his government is using technology to effectively deliver the benefits of welfare schemes to targeted groups. Addressing a gathering of several top business leaders including Ratan Tata, Prime Minister Modi said technology should be used to uplift the life of the poor and the marginalised sections of the society in the country. "There should not be a debate on the dangers of artificial intelligence, but there should debate as to when the robot will be smarter than the human. There should be a debate as to how a bridge can be made between artificial intelligence and human intentions," he said. Prime Minister Modi said that a section of people are working to project technology as anti-people and asserted that technology only benefits humanity if it is used with good intentions.
