Elon Musk to plant computers in human brains to prevent AI robot uprising
Elon Musk has launched a new "medical research" company called Neuralink, according to a new report. The firm was registered in California last July, and will focus on developing "neural lace" technology, reports the Wall Street Journal.

Google Home and WiFi launch in the UK on April 6th
The Home launched at Google I/O almost a year ago, but has been only available to US customers since November.

The BBC, The Guardian, The Financial Times, The Sun, The Telegraph, Huffington Post, Sky News and Sky Sports are available from launch, with more being added over time. The launch of the Home in the UK sees Google go up against one of its biggest rivals: Amazon.

Why Machine Learning Moves the Needle for Marketers 7wData
Marketing and sales seemed to be much easier in the past. Customers simply visited a retail shop, where they could ask a knowledgeable salesperson about a product they discovered in a local newspaper. In recent years, the ubiquity of the internet and a state-of-the-art technology changed everything. Customers became prosumers, well informed about the product before the purchase. And what is even more important, customers frequently use a variety of channels: online and traditional stores, mobile apps, online auctions, price comparison websites, social media and more. Today, in spite of all the available technologies, life is more challenging for both marketers and salespeople.

Fake news is rearing its ugly head time and time again.

Because conventional analytics scale at a gradual pace, marketers are beginning to utilise AI to analyse the large volume of unstructured data to improve marketing research, forecasting accuracy and campaign experiences. A research of CMOs from the US, UK, and China from companies with more than $500 million in revenue revealed that around two thirds of these think Artificial Intelligence will play a significant role in their future marketing operations. But only a third claimed to have good knowledge of how it is actually implemented.
