Artificial intelligence could be key to driving down emergency room visits over the next five years, according to one research company's crystal ball.

So far, the impact of information technology on overall productivity has been a mixed bag, and even disappointing.

A machine learning feature will be coming to Redtail Technology's popular CRM program sometime this winter, according to company's CEO Brian …

From Amazon's Alexa to Tesla's smart cars, mobile devices and online banking systems, the prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) in daily life is clear.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are going to have a huge impact on manufacturing.

In a particularly pungent case of victim-blaming, "hard-line Republicans and conservative commentators are mounting a whispering campaign against Jamal Khashoggi that is designed to protect President Trump from criticism of his handling of the dissident journalist's alleged murder by operatives of Saudi Arabia -- and support Trump's continued aversion to a forceful response to the oil-rich desert kingdom," The Washington Post reports, citing four GOP officials involved in the discussions. The campaign includes "a cadre of conservative House Republicans allied with Trump" who in recent days have been "privately exchanging articles from right-wing outlets that fuel suspicion of Khashoggi," a Post columnist and Saudi government critic, the Post says. Still, the murmurs have begun to "flare into public view" as conservative media organizations and personalities -- Rush Limbaugh, Front Page, Donald Trump Jr., and a sanitized version on Fox News, to name a few -- "have amplified the claims, which are aimed in part at protecting Trump as he works to preserve the U.S.-Saudi relationship and avoid confronting the Saudis on human rights." The main lines of attack -- pushed by pro-Saudi accounts on Twitter -- focus on and distort Khashoggi's association with the Muslim Brotherhood in his young and interactions as a journalist with late Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in the 1980s and '90s. "The GOP officials declined to share the names of the lawmakers and others who are circulating information critical of Khashoggi," the Post explains, "because they said doing so would risk exposing them as sources."

In fact, the Associated Press has used "automation technology" to cover college sports since 2015. The idea isn't new--humans have obsessed over artificial intelligence (AI) since at least the 18th century, when the "Mechanical Turk" hoax led many to believe that a machine could play chess against a person and win. About 250 years later, a machine can play chess against a person and win--every time.
