Google has started out with a mission to empower everything and everyone with artificial intelligence (AI). It has open-sourced Tensorflow and supporting libraries to enable developers and enterprises to build and train models, and infer (predict) using those. Building useful enterprise services with this may take time. Google has also exposed many of the AI services (via Cloud Machine Learning APIs) that can be quite useful in your applications. Extracting features and text from images, translating text from one language to another, and doing sentiment analysis on text can help improve user experience dramatically.

The operator orbits Earth at an altitude of 400 kilometres, while the assistant works on the ground. During the'SUPVIS Justin' experiment, those who send and receive commands conduct a long-distance relationship. Aboard the International Space Station (ISS) on 2 March 2018, United States astronaut Scott Tingle selected the required commands on a tablet, while the robot Justin of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) performed the necessary work on a solar panel in a terrestrial laboratory in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, as instructed. Engineers at the DLR Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics had fitted their robot with the necessary artificial intelligence so that it could perform these subtasks autonomously and without detailed individual commands. "The robot is clever, but the astronaut is always in control," says Neal Lii, the DLR project manager.

NEW DELHI: India has an opportunity to create a locally designed Artificial Intelligence plan that would work for its needs and help nurture world-dominating companies specialising in this emerging field, say experts. So far, the country is seen as lagging behind the US and China in building capabilities in AI due to the lack of large internet companies that harness data of users. However, growing investments across sectors in building data-based businesses and the recognition by the government to create enabling policies for AI is throwing up opportunity for entrepreneurs. "India could have a very large role to play, all the pieces are in place, it has a great opportunity, and is upto India to either succeed or fail," Andrew NG, one of the most prominent experts of AI told ET. NG, who was the cofounder of Google Brain and is the founder of online learning platform Coursera added that he gets pitch notes from Indian startups.

Recognising the potential and the fact that India doesn't want to miss the bus on AI, the government has beginning to take steps.India has an opportunity to create a locally designed Artificial Intelligence plan that would work for its needs and help nurture world-dominating companies specialising in this emerging field, say experts.

As if solar-powered homes, and cars, and gigawatt factories along with his Space X ventures weren't enough already, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has another outlandish plan for humanity – a wizard-hat you might say, for our brains. Tesla and Space X are already redefining humanity's future, but Neuralink, a platform that would use futurist technology to augment our brains could alter our world even more. With a 36K explainer showing us exactly how Neuralink supported brain-hacking will work, Elon Musk has laid out plans to bring us to the future in a few short years. Among other claims, Neuralink promises to make human to human telepathy possible. This news makes some very excited, but others are wary.

From the UK to the UAE, China and the USA, governments are putting serious money and resources behind efforts to corner the artificial intelligence (AI) market. China recently published its AI strategy, which boldly declared that within a decade AI will become "the main driving force for China's industrial upgrading and economic transition". If China's approach to AI mirrors its 2014 semiconductor plan we could see up to $150bn being invested in AI over the next 10 years. It's not just nations that are betting on an AI-based economy. The largest technology firms, including Alphabet (owner of Google), Amazon, Apple, Facebook, IBM and Microsoft, are investing huge sums to develop their AI capabilities.

The Chinese answer to Google can now clone your voice using AI after hearing you talk for just one minute. Baidu, who created this creepy technology, says it could also be used to create personalised digital assistants and automatic speech translation services. Deep Voice learns which sounds go with a text as well as the quirks of how someone communicates, creating you a robot-self indistinguishable from how you really talk. Although this voice-copying technology might be amusing it also has serious implications, as users can essentially poach part of someone else's identity.

In his new job as a commercial drone pilot, former Army helicopter pilot Tony Zimlich directs a drone-powered field site inspection of a Pennsylvania solar farm. In his new job as a commercial drone pilot, former Army helicopter pilot Tony Zimlich directs a drone-powered field site inspection of a Pennsylvania solar farm. On a recent sunny afternoon at a solar farm outside Philadelphia, Pa., commercial drone pilots Tony Zimlich and Gunner Goldie are preparing for flight. Dressed in hard hats and matching yellow vests, they run through a series of safety and equipment checks, and survey the surrounding terrain and airspace, before picking up what looks like a pair of oversized video game controllers. Then, with a streak of beeps and whirs, their drone -- about the size of a milk crate -- rises steadily into the sky above.

The Cabinet has adopted the formation of the'UAE Council for Artificial Intelligence' to ensure the implementation of these technologies in various sectors. The move aims to serve the UAE Government's objectives, and improve the quality of life of citizens and residents in order to achieve the vision of the UAE 2021 and make the UAE one of the best countries in the world by 2071. The council's formation is a reaffirmation of the UAE Government's keenness to move forward in the use of artificial intelligence and its applications in various fields to improve government performance and create innovative work environments to accelerate the development projects. The formation of the council follows the appointment of a Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence in the recent formation of the UAE Cabinet, the launch of the UAE Strategy for Artificial Intelligence and the UAE Strategy for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The council will study and identify the government sectors where artificial intelligence technology can be incorporated and make recommendations for the development of related infrastructure, in addition to the integration of artificial intelligence in different stages of education.
