Today, the president signed the Music Modernization Act into law with various celebrities, including Kid Rock, Mike Love and John Rich, present. Officially named the Orrin G. Hatch Music Modernization Act, it was unanimously passed by both the House and the Senate, and streamlines the process for music licensing and updates rules about royalties for streaming music. That really happened.Kanye West wants Apple to build Trump an'iPlane' Nothing quite like pitching a hydrogen-powered plane, "made by Apple" to the President of the United States of America. Hardcore parkour.Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot shows upgraded agility in'Parkour' video This summer workout clip features a bipedal battery-powered robot that not only jogs, but hops over obstacles and up an uneven obstacle course with nary a bobble. The'bot now has enough processing power to use its legs, arms and torso to balance through the movements and power up each 40cm-high step, while using computer vision to locate the next one.

Business processes influence many different aspects of our daily lives as consumers and workers, whether we realize it or not. Whatever our requests or tasks--ordering your morning latte, applying for a job, finding the right song on a streaming music app, picking out a new car with just the right shade of leather seats--there's a process involved. But many processes are slow, inefficient or otherwise ill-suited to serve the fast-moving demands of today's customers. As we detail in our recently published book, Human Machine--Reimagining Work in the Age of AI, many companies are already using artificial intelligence to automate processes to some extent. But if AI is deployed primarily to displace human workers, short-term productivity gains are about as good as you're going to do.

Selling in many cases is less about your product and more about your people, processes, and promises. When you tell a prospect they'll hear from you next Thursday, and you actually call on time -- this builds trust. To keep your organization responsive, accountable and most importantly, human, you need an effective solution to oversee these important connections. Nudge.ai is an intelligent relationship development tool that leverages big data, data-mining and simple push notifications to bring intelligence to your business relationships. More intelligent than simple CRM, Nudge.ai

Artificial intelligence is not the future anymore since this technology is already widely used in our lives. Most sci-fi movies predict rather tragic outcome of using the artificial intelligence. You probably remember the plots of Matrix and Terminator – quite depressive vista is shown in these masterpieces of cinema. However, it is the fantasy of scriptwriter and film directors. In reality, the AI has already gained its supporters.

Readers, please take our advice: Using 000000 or that other favorite, 123456 as the easy out for your smartphone six-digit credentials will save you time, but it won't protect your device. Superstar rapper Kanye West went to the White House on Thursday and showed his iPhone passcode to the world, in front of cameras. President Donald Trump meets rapper and producer Kanye West and retired football player Jim Brown in the Oval Office on Oct. 11. West, who is a Trump supporter, met with the President to discuss prison reform and other issues. Sure, iPhones now have FaceID, making the six-digit passcode less important.

Most of agents that learn policy for tasks with reinforcement learning (RL) lack the ability to communicate with people, which makes human-agent collaboration challenging. We believe that, in order for RL agents to comprehend utterances from human colleagues, RL agents must infer the mental states that people attribute to them because people sometimes infer an interlocutor's mental states and communicate on the basis of this mental inference. This paper proposes PublicSelf model, which is a model of a person who infers how the person's own behavior appears to their colleagues. We implemented the PublicSelf model for an RL agent in a simulated environment and examined the inference of the model by comparing it with people's judgment. The results showed that the agent's intention that people attributed to the agent's movement was correctly inferred by the model in scenes where people could find certain intentionality from the agent's behavior.

What's going on: The field that works on such systems is called "computational argumentation." This summer, a roomful of journalists watched a demonstration in which two human debaters argued with a talking computer, produced by IBM, that used AI-infused computational argumentation to deliver speeches and rebut its opponents' claims. Axios spoke with six researchers behind IBM's "Project Debater" to learn how it works, and to track the state of the art in language understanding. The context: AI researchers are prone to using games to measure their progress. In 2011, Watson beat a pair of humans at Jeopardy.

The physical entertainment market for music, videos and gaming suffered a brutal hit over the crucial Christmas period, dealing a sharp blow to retailers like GAME, according to data out Monday. Figures on the physical entertainment market from Kantar Worldpanel show that the sales of music, video and gaming in the three months to 18 December slipped 7.8 per cent. Music and video sales both witnessed double digit declines, with sales falling by 11 per cent and 12 per cent respectively, while gaming was down by 2.7 per cent. "The increasing popularity of digital entertainment products is making it ever more difficult for retailers to maintain the relevance and excitement of giving physical entertainment products as gifts, and it's not been an easy Christmas as a result," said Fiona Keenan, a director at Kantar. She said that over one million fewer shoppers purchased physical music or video as gifts in the quarter, equating to around £31M lost.

RapidMiner Auto Model is the first application for the RapidMiner AI Cloud and is currently available in beta. RapidMiner Auto Model uses automated machine learning and best practices to build predictive models in 4 clicks. Unlike other automated machine learning products, Auto Model does not generate black box predictive models that cannot be easily explained. With Auto Model, both the model itself and how the model was created are detailed step-by-step and narrated visually. "We're thrilled to announce Auto Model on the RapidMiner AI Cloud," said Lars Bauerle, chief product officer at RapidMiner.
