This publication draws on a wide range of expertise to illuminate the year ahead. Even so, all our contributors have one thing in common: they are human. But advances in technology mean it is now possible to ask an artificial intelligence (AI) for its views on the coming year. We asked an AI called GPT-2, created by Openai, a research outfit. GPT-2 is an "unsupervised language model" trained using 40 gigabytes of text from the internet.

Deep learning papers often have very good diagrams of their architectures. Does anyone know of tools that can be used to generate these sorts of diagrams. I'm not looking for automatically generated diagrams. What kind of software do people use to make nice looking Visualizations for their network architecture. A really nice example is the pointnet architecture.

Artificial intelligence and the digital transformation must be inclusive and generate benefits for all Europeans, including vulnerable groups. At the high-level conference on Artificial intelligence, robotics and digital services for the wellbeing of citizens, organised by the EESC in Helsinki on 21 November 2019 in cooperation with the Finnish EU Presidency and the Finnish Ministries of Social Affairs and Health and Transport and Communications, EESC members reaffirmed that people must remain at the core of new technological developments. Ariane Rodert, president of the EESC Section for the Single Market, Production and Consumption (INT), underlined that artificial intelligence was one of the main political priorities of the EESC's current presidency and said: Artificial intelligence must be developed in a safe, unbiased way and, above all, must be in keeping with the values of the EU. We need to ensure that artificial intelligence and its applications promote people's wellbeing and empowerment, with due respect for fundamental rights. On the same wavelength was Pierre Jean Coulon, president of the EESC Section for Transport, Energy, Infrastructure and the Information Society (TEN), who declared: Digitalisation is everywhere: in health, transport and energy, and it affects the lives of everyone.

Artificial Intelligence is a field of science and engineering primarily focused on developing systems that depict human intelligence. We have seen how virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa, Google Now, and Cortana help us find useful information just by asking them. Artificial Intelligence is not a futuristic technology anymore as it has crept into most of our daily lives. Everything we use like our car, smartphone, video games use artificial intelligence to some extent. Even though there are various artificial intelligence risks involved, it is highly regarded as the future of technology to change our lives for the better. According to a statistic released by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), it is estimated that 50% of the world population is into agriculture for their survival.

Rapid technological evolution only means quick changes and even faster changes in the fashion and entertainment industry. Likewise, either due to necessity or by desire, IT professionals in the 21st century will continue to learn and evolve. As we come close to the last quarter of the year, here are some technology trends that are still being explored and will continue to make an impact in the future. AI-enabled conversational interfaces will soon replace mobile screen interactions, blockchain is gaining a lot of traction across businesses, mixed reality is being explored by enterprises and internet users are all for OTT. As the 2010s come to an end, there are some technological trends that businesses will leverage to unleash the full potential of a digitally-driven world, which will eventually, shape our future – personal and otherwise.
