The first time I got close to one of Apple's HomePods was in a secluded meeting room at WWDC. Sonically, at least, it blew away the competition. After seven months -- not to mention the introduction of other impressive smart speakers -- Apple invited me to spend another hour with a near-final HomePod, and it still sounds like the one to beat. There's much more to the HomePod than just its stellar sound quality, though, and my time spent with Apple's new speaker provided answers to some key lingering questions. The HomePod is Apple's first smart speaker, and it looks like a 7-inch-tall Mac Pro covered in mesh fabric.

The following is an opinion article written by Pranav Pasricha, CEO of Intellect SEEC. Data science will fundamentally alter insurance in a way that many don't expect and the impact will be felt across the industry, touching everyone from agents and brokers to underwriters and claims processors. While many fear it will replace legacy operations, upon closer examination, data science will only serve to enhance existing processes, driving efficiency and adding value. The Old Equation To understand the role data science will play in the future of insurance, you must begin with the basic underpinning of insurance: information x analysis insight. In today's insurance landscape, that theory has manifested into historic data x statistical modeling hindsight.

The thing to realize is that for a two-dimensional problem, the decision boundary is a line, and a line can be uniquely identified by two parameters (e.g. its slope and its y-intercept, or equivalently x-intercept). If you set up the perceptron as having two weights and also a tunable bias, that's three parameters, more than you actually need. However, if you fixed the bias to zero, you'd lose the ability to represent lines that don't pass through the origin. But as long as bias is fixed to a non-zero constant (1 is as good as any other, modulo taking a different number of steps to converge depending on your initialization) your representational power is maintained.

The odds are pretty good that you're using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) more often than you realize. After all, every time you do a Google search (like the one that probably brought you here), you're using software that has Artificial Intelligence ingrained in its DNA. These are good questions, so let's start there. In its simplest form, AI is the ability for a computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings. AI is an umbrella term that would include a wide variety of things including self-driving cars, Google search, image recognition software, and a whole slew of stuff you already use or are at least thinking of using. Machine Learning is a sub-category of AI. It gives computers the ability to automatically learn and improve by using algorithms. It's sort of like a recipe that you keep adjusting and improving each time you use it.) So … Artificial Intelligence is a broad category that covers computers and robots that do human tasks, and Machine Learning is a sub-category that focuses in on the use of algorithms that continue to improve the more they're used. As mentioned at the top of the post, you're using some of these tools already. The last time you did a Google Image Search, you were using AI. The last time you ran a paid search campaign, you were using AI. And the last time you scrolled through your Facebook feed, you were using AI. But what about all the other tools and platforms that use Artificial Intelligence to learn and improve over time? And what can they do? What follows are 157 of the top Artificial Intelligence platforms that can help you grow your business. We've broken them into different categories so you can scroll through and focus in on the categories that are most important to you. This is a living, organic list, so if you see a platform that's missing, just mention it in the comments section below and we'll try to add it in later. Also, let us know if you think any of the platforms have been miscategorized -- it's a big list and we're trying to improve it all the time.

In the case of revenge porn, people often ask: If the photos weren't taken in the first place, how could ex-partners, or hackers who steal nude photos, post them? We are now in the age of fake porn. Fake, as in, famous people's faces – or, for that matter, anybody's face – near-seamlessly stitched onto porn videos. As Motherboard reports, you can now find actress Jessica Alba's face on porn performer Melanie Rios' body, actress Daisy Ridley's face on another porn performer's body and Emma Watson's face on an actress's nude body, all on Celeb Jihad – a celebrity porn site that regularly posts celebrity nudes, including stolen/hacked ones. The word "appears" is key.

I have written a number of articles about machine learning recently for Marketing Week and Econsultancy. This interest is fuelled by consumer tech – if you were to play word association, 'AI' might be followed by'Alexa' or'self-driving cars' – as well as bullish claims about the potential of deep learning in medicine. As marketers we should be much more prosaic in our thinking. That's not to say that voice interfaces aren't going to have a big impact on your brand and the discovery of your content – you will have to consider what your brand's persona will sound like, and how you will answer user searches directly. But the more immediate and broader concern is how data analysis and decision making can be improved.

When I heard the 60th annual Grammy Awards show was going to feature artificial intelligence, I immediately thought "this is a marketing ploy." But then I found out IBM's Watson was the AI in question. Watson, you see, doesn't have a problem rolling up its non-existent sleeves and doing some good old fashioned hard work. Don't expect a silly robot rolling around doing a human impersonation on the red carpet, IBM's machines show up to solve problems and optimize workflows. And while that isn't very sexy – hard work seldom is – it's incredibly important.

OPPO has unveiled its latest entry-level camera phone in India, the A83. The OPPO A83 comes with an 8 MP front camera and a 13 MP rear camera, and uses A.I. Beauty Recognition Technology that employs a cloud database from premium suppliers that have sufficient power to support diversified facial recognition in smart terminals. Our focus has always been on bringing best photography and Selfie experience to the Indian consumers. We have received an immense response for our Selfie Expert A Series and F Series. With the A83 we wish to bring an affordable selfie camera with advance features such as the HD Full Screen Display and AI Beauty Technology.
