AI can also greatly improve customer service. Often, the focus on individual customers decreases after a sale has been completed. Follow-ups are overlooked, and customer contact reduces. The task of keeping track of customer satisfaction or product problems is time-consuming for reps--but can be automatically executed by AI technology. AI can gather and organize all the data from new purchases, track customer satisfaction, and check in regularly with customers.

Recently Lofty Labs was engaged by a law firm. Now, that's not the type of business we generally target as clients for a data analysis consultancy. It turned out they had a data problem, though. When two large companies sue each other, a lot of historical communication records get exchanged between the two sides through the facilitation of the court in a process known within the field as "discovery". This is the process you probably think of from the movies, where lawyers can be seen carting dollies full archival boxes overflowing with paper documents.

Aida is the perfect employee: always courteous, always learning and, as she says, "always at work, 24/7, 365 days a year." Aida, of course, is not a person but a virtual customer-service representative that SEB AB, one of Sweden's biggest banks, is rolling out. The goal is to give the actual humans more time to engage in more complex tasks. After blazing a trail in online and digital banking, Sweden's financial industry is now emerging as a pioneer in the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Besides Aida at SEB, there's Nova, which is a chatbot Nordea Bank is introducing at its life and pensions unit in Norway.

Sky has just announced Sky VIP, a loyalty programme where length of tenure decides your benefits. Unlike many schemes of this nature, which are designed to draw in new customers and keep them loyal, this one goes out of its way to reward existing customers, and the longer you've been with Sky, the better the deal. There are four levels: Silver, Gold, Platinum and Black. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.

Apple's new iPhone will feature a smartcamera that can tell what it's looking at, according to leaked code. Details found in files that were accidentally uploaded to the internet by Apple suggest that it is working on a feature that will be able to tell what is in a scene and adjust the settings to take the best possible image. The code includes references to "scenes", which include Fireworks, Foliage, Pet, BrightStage, Sport, Sky, Snow, and Sunset/Sunrise. It's presumed that the "smartcam" will be able to detect those things using artificial intelligence, and the alter things like the exposure and shutter speed accordingly.

A tiny unmanned aircraft is hovering quietly above a green field in Buckinghamshire, offering its owner, Joby Stephens, an "eye in the sky". The drone is kitted out with a tiny high-definition camera that sends crisp images via wi-fi to a phone clipped to the drone's remote control unit. "The ability to film with a drone adds another string to my bow," the professional cameraman and producer says as he pilots the aircraft towards some nearby trees. "Being able to legally and safely deliver drone footage should be a great addition to many projects." Mr Stephens runs production company Jam96, which specialises in making behind-the-scenes videos on movie sets - places where there will invariably be lots of people.

If a sci-fi film ever names a planet Tina, blame Janelle Shane. Her hobby is training neural networks on data sets to create amusing names, be it rescue kittens ("Mag Jeggles" and "Snox Boops"), Pokémon ("Tortabool"), and -- perhaps most famously -- paint colours ("Sudden Pine" and "Turdly"). In the latest round, the neural network was trained on 700 planets from Star Wars. That's worth doing, she says, because "Kepler-452b" isn't catchy enough to shout out to "the ship's engineer during a raging ion storm", and there's thousands of exoplanets that need better names. After feeding in the data supplied by a fan, her neural network spat out better suggestions, such as "Bartan", "Vantos" and "Nananon".

Computer Vision generates mathematical models from images; Computer Graphics draws in images from models and lastly image processing takes image as an input and gives an image at the output. Computer Vision is an overlapping field drawing on concepts from areas such as artificial intelligence, digital image processing, machine learning, deep learning, pattern recognition, probabilistic graphical models, scientific computing and a lot of mathematics. Watch these videos and alongside implementing the learned concepts and algorithms by following GaTech Prof. James Hays' projects of his Computer Vision class. Have a quick go through Building Machine Learning Systems with Python and Python Machine Learning.

It could finally be the home robot you've dreamed - capable of keeping the kids quiet and doing the shopping. The Asus Zenbo, a $599 home robot the firm hopes will help bring robotics into the home, has passed its FCC certification, according to The Leaker. The robot, first unveiled last year, sprang to fame for a cringeworthy cover of Mariah Carey's'All I Want For Christmas Is You' in a festive, and somewhat terrifying, spectacle by the firm. Asus chairman Jonney Shih pledged the firm will'enable robotic computing for every household.' The robot was unveiled at Computex 2016 alongside a new range of mobile phones. Chairman Jonney Shih pledged the firm will'enable robotic computing for every household.'
