The E8 OLED doesn't improve much in image quality over LG's 2017 TVs, but it does have a few key improvements. Play with the settings of your new TV, such as the Samsung QLED line of televisions, to make it picture perfect. You're blown away by the image quality of the televisions on sale at your favorite electronics retailer, but when you take one home, it somehow doesn't look (or sound) as good as the in-store experience. Your new flat-panel (or perhaps curved) television just needs a bit of tweaking for you to get the most out of it. And no, you don't need a degree in electrical engineering to pull it off.

Inc. said Thursday it will sell its Echo Show display-speaker hybrid in Japan starting in December, with the aim of further cementing its position in the world of voice-controlled devices. The world's largest online retailer said it will now begin taking preorders for the smart speaker, which has a 10-inch HD display, prior to the start of shipping on Dec. 12. It will carry a price tag of ¥27,980. The Echo Show, an internet-connected device that is compatible with Amazon's Alexa virtual assistant, enables users to play music and stream videos.

Will it soon feel normal to say, "Alexa, microwave one bag of popcorn"? Like a rebooted Sharper Image catalogue, Amazon is adding its talking artificial intelligence to a microwave, a wall clock, a wall plug, cars and more. The new gadgets all hook into the Internet, take voice commands -- and make the online retail giant even more central to home life. The question is: Will families see these connected devices as conveniences, new complications -- or spies? Amazon's goal is to assert leadership over Google and Apple in the still-nascent market for smart-home tech, with everyday appliances connecting to the Internet to automate operations -- and gather all sorts of data on our lives.

Amazon is hosting a hardware launch event this morning at its Seattle headquarters, and has invited the press into the Spheres, Amazon's urban botanical gardens, to show off the new products. It's widely expected that Amazon will announce several new Alexa-equipped hardware products or device partnerships, adding to an already expansive line of Echos and other smart devices. The company hosted a similar event last fall, which reaffirmed Amazon's commitment to putting Alexa in as many places as possible. At that event, Amazon introduced a new 4K Fire TV; a smaller, $99 Echo speaker; a $149 Echo Plus speaker; an Echo that looks like an alarm clock, called the Echo Spot; Echo Buttons, for casual games; and a partnership with BMW to make Alexa work in cars. It also rolled the ability to initiate phone calls with Alexa, using a $35 device called the Echo Connect.

An as-yet unannounced Amazon Smart Plug has leaked online ahead of its release. The device, which plugs directly into a wall socket and acts as controller for any mains-connected device, is expected to bring Alexa voice control to any gadget. It is rumoured the Smart Plug will allow users to flick on the kettle or turn on a lamp with a simple voice command. The leaked images, published on the Amazon online store, arrive amid a flurry of rumours of eight new Alexa-powered device scheduled to launch this year. The new batch of in-house hardware could include a microwave, amplifier, receiver, and an in-car gadget, CNBC reported, citing sources close to the company.

Alibaba's Tmall Genie, an AI-powered voice assistant, has sold 5 million units since it was launched in July 2017, and has been integrated with healthcare and home appliance products from electronics manufacturers such as Phillips and Siemens, and also the Alibaba's interactive local services, such as Hema, the company said. Hema, a chain of supermarkets launched in 2015, is famous for its free 30-minute delivery and facial-recognition payment technology. It is described as the "pathfinder" of Alibaba's "new retail" strategy to go back to brick-and-mortar stores.

Amazon is experimenting with a new tool called Scout designed to help shoppers better figure out what they want to buy in a more visual fashion, according to a report from CNBC, which first spotted Scout live on Amazon's site. Using a combination of imagery, a thumbs up and down voting mechanism, and machine learning technology, Scout offers an almost Pinterest-like way of browsing Amazon products, then refining recommendations through user input. Currently, the site lets you search for furniture, kitchen, dining products, home décor, patio items, lighting, and bedding, as well as women's shoes. In time, Amazon will add more products like clothing and handbags, it said. For example, if you're looking for a dresser, or a new comforter, or deck chairs, you're often stuck scrolling down through a long list of matching results that aren't at all customized to your particular tastes.

Perhaps the most transformative area of innovation in retail in recent years has been in the collection and interpretation of data. This happens to be the primary service Evo offers to clients. The simple reorganization of data can have a major impact on retail businesses. Most retailers segment data based on their best guess. Stores in similar regions get segmented together as do products with similar attributes.

This decade has seen us move our notion and application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) forward in dramatic terms. Fuelled by continual advances in computer processing and data analytics, the Machine Learning (ML) that goes to help create AI brains (often called'software agents') has been the subject of much debate in both technical and human cultural circles. As soon as we started to realize that AI and ML are actually going to change our world, we immediately wanted to know how, when, where and by how much. There has been widespread concern over which human jobs would be made redundant by AI; although that furore appears to be abating now that humans understand that AI will more likely take away the'grunt work' and help to create new higher-value jobs. Quite apart from the technical arguments (could hackers use quantum computing and AI to create a computing mega virus, for example), we have also concerned ourselves with the human cultural aspects of AI.
