Digital cameras can see around corners using the reflected light and shadows of objects cast on a nearby wall, experts have found. AI software designed by a the team of engineers from Boston University turns an ordinary camera into a type of periscope. It uses an algorithm to decipher data captured by the lens, recreating hidden objects in impressive detail. In a demonstration the team showed that they could use walls as mirrors to reconstruct things hidden from direct view in less than one minute. This has previously only been achieved with specialist optical systems at high cost, but this simpler technique represents a major advance in viewing obscured objects.

As artificial intelligence is beginning to permeate our daily lives, we take a look at how it impacts CCTV security systems. We begin by examining how artificial intelligence (AI) is been developed at Netwatch and then we'll explore the direction other industries are taking with this technology. Let's first take a step back and look at the technological leaps in CCTV technology that have allowed us to get to this point: An Internet Protocol (IP) camera is a type of digital camera that can send and receive data via a computer network and the internet. Unlike their traditional CCTV predecessor (analogue closed-circuit television cameras), IP cameras can transmit high resolution footage which can be viewed remotely. Video Camera Analytics is the capability of automatically analysing video to detect and determine temporal and spatial events.

Boeing is testing its air taxi, Elon Musk is making more promises about Teslas and there's a Chinese phone that has zero ports -- not even a speaker grille. If you want live TV, however, you're paying more than before.Hulu cuts the price of its basic service to $6 per month Passive aggression is the source of most price cuts, right? In a not-so-subtle dig at Netflix's recent price hikes, Hulu is becoming more affordable... at least on its basic tier where the service will cut the price from $8 to $6 per month as of February 26th. The ad-free tier will still cost $12 per month, but if you want the Hulu Live TV bundle, you'll be paying $5 more per month ($45) for the privilege of watching shows as they premiere. Hulu's rivals don't end at Netflix, however: YouTube TV just launched nationwide coverage, and it starts at $40 per month.

Not long ago, I thought of smart TV software--especially from the likes of Samsung and LG--as something to ignore. Dedicated streaming devices such as Roku's Streaming Stick and Amazon's Fire TV Stick offered slicker interfaces and better app selections, which made me wonder why TV makers even bothered making subpar software. A funny thing's happened in recent years, though: Smart TV software from LG and Samsung has actually gotten pretty good. Now, I'm wondering why those companies don't take a page from Roku and Amazon, and put their software on external streaming players. To be clear, I don't own any Samsung or LG TVs, so I haven't lived with their software like I have with all the major streaming devices.

In the future, the class of workers affected by automation could grow as machines become more intelligent. The Brookings report analyzed each occupation's automation potential based on research by the McKinsey management consulting firm. Those jobs that remain largely unscathed will be those requiring not just advanced education, but also interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence.

Machine learning applications in editing and post-production projects are coming to the fore, and the BBC recently made use of the technology in its first experimental BBC 4 documentary, 'Made by Machine - When AI Met the Archive'. Vast archives of footage, images, marketing materials and post production work can be used for machine learning applications, and in turn drive creative automation. The technology also offers solutions to internal organisational problems. With the cloud and machine learning algorithms, businesses can begin to structure and automate processes for all of their content, saving hours of manual review and data entry. Video intelligence can identify key speech and individual faces.

ObEN Inc., a Pasadena-based artificial intelligence (AI) company, signed new entertainment partnerships and launched new celebrity-based Personal Artificial Intelligence avatars as part of its continued expansion into China's market. ObEN announced its official Chinese name roughly translating to "Celebrity Crew," in a nod to its growing presence in the country's entertainment industry, according to a Jan. 22 press statement. The new name also celebrates the Lunar New Year, when the company plans to release several new celebrity avatars created for the Chinese market. In December, ObEN collaborated with the Chinese music group SNH48 on the world's first human-PAI song and music video. Using its proprietary full-stack AI technology, ObEN created avatars for six of the group's most popular members.

Nowadays many misconceptions are there related to the words machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence(AI), most of the people think all these things are same whenever they hear the word AI, they directly relate that word to machine learning or vice versa, well yes, these things are related to each other but not the same. Machine Learning: Before talking about machine learning lets talk about another concept that is called data mining. Data mining is a technique of examining a large pre-existing database and extracting new information from that database, it's easy to understand, right, machine learning does the same, in fact, machine learning is a type of data mining technique. Here's is a basic definition of machine learning – "Machine Learning is a technique of parsing data, learn from that data and then apply what they have learned to make an informed decision" Now a days many of big companies use machine learning to give there users a better experience, some of the examples are, Amazon using machine learning to give better product choice recommendations to there costumers based on their preferences, Netflix uses machine learning to give better suggestions to their users of the Tv series or movie or shows that they would like to watch. Deep Learning: Deep learning is actually a subset of machine learning.

Science may never tell us what lies round the next corner, but researchers have come up with the nearest thing: a computer program that turns a normal digital camera into a periscope. In a demonstration of "computational periscopy" a US team at Boston University showed they could see details of objects hidden from view by analysing shadows they cast on a nearby wall. Vivek Goyal, an electrical engineer at the university, said that while the work had clear implications for surveillance he hoped it would lead to robots that could navigate better and boost the safety of driverless cars. He said: "I'm not especially excited by surveillance, I don't want to be doing creepy things, but being able to see that there's a child on the other side of a parked car, or see a little bit around the corner of an intersection could have a significant impact on safety." The problem of how to see round corners has occupied modern researchers for at least a decade.
