Fashion has always been intrigued by technology as a creative force. Almost two decades ago, designer Alexander McQueen made a lasting impression after using two robots to spray paint all over a model's white dress. Last year's glamorous Met Ball chose "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology" as its theme and, more recently, Chanel sent robot models dressed in pastel-coloured tweed suits down the runway. However, the link between fashion retail and technology is becoming much more than just an aesthetic thanks to the rampant rise of online shopping and the use of artificial technology, which is transforming the way people will shop.

Kieran O'Neill, CEO of London fashion startup Thread, is building a new way of shopping for clothes. His site uses online stylists, as well as artificial inteligence (AI) and machine learning, to create a personalised way to shop. But that can cause problems when he visits standard clothes shops. "We went to Liberty for a bit and I went to the men's section," O'Neill said in an interview at Thread's London office. "[I] went to the rack and was browsing and I looked at it and it wasn't my size. I felt this rage, this offence that why would you bother showing it to me if it's not actually in my size?"

Last time, we look at how Natural Language Processing is used. This time, let's look at some NLP startups and influencers that you should know! Social media listening has become an important tool for e-retailers who want to understand consumer shopping habits, predict product demand, or monitor trends to create sticky marketing messages. Consider the analysis of Black Friday. People talk a great deal about being hungover on Black Friday.

Now that Google has fixed the Burger King exploit, it's a great time to pick-up a Google Home. Today, Newegg has a pretty good deal for those looking for this smart speaker. The online retailer is selling a Google Home and a TP-Link HS100 Smart Plug for $129. That's the purchase price of the Google Home, which means you get the $25 smart plug (street price) for free. As you might expect, the Smart Plug works with both Alexa and Google Assistant. That means you can use the Smart Plug to convert an item in your home into a voice-controlled appliance.

Inc., Jeff Bezos has said in his annual letter to shareholders that the key to the company's future success lies in Artificial Intelligence (AI.) The 1,700-word letter made it clear that although much of Amazon's current work on machine learning is not well known, the company would be heavily invested in it in the future. He wrote that "changes ushered in by AI will help the companies that embrace them and put up barriers for those that don't." Amazon currently also has some well-known and high-profile projects that have been created as a result of this technology, such as their drone delivery program and Alexa, their home assistant. Bezos, who is the world's second richest man, also wrote about Amazon Web Services, which offers cloud computing services and affordable tools for those who want to incorporate machine learning technology into their own enterprises.

According to analyst Forrester, artificial intelligence (AI), big data and analytics will increase businesses' access to data, broaden the types of data that can be analysed, and raise the level of sophistication of the resulting insight. For 2017, Forrester expects investment in AI to triple.

Generally, when people think of Artificial Intelligence, a sort of ominous, futuristic image comes to mind. Killer robots that are out to destroy all humans and inextricably, the universe. Only Will Smith can save us! Thanks to the invention of B grade Blockbuster films, this public perception is fairly understandable. However, it is not quite accurate.

New advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning promise to make some jobs obsolete through automation and change our world forever, experts say. It's hard to put into words what AI is -- many of the terms people use are very technical -- but Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos just summed up everything most people need to know about artificial intelligence in his latest shareholder letter. "Over the past decades computers have broadly automated tasks that programmers could describe with clear rules and algorithms. Modern machine learning techniques now allow us to do the same for tasks where describing the precise rules is much harder." This is a great way to describe the promise of AI.

Here are several key business tips Jeff Bezos outlined in his latest annual shareholder letter released on Wednesday. In his first letter to shareholders in 1997 CEO Jeff Bezos wrote it was always Day 1 on the Internet and at Amazon. He named his office building Day 1 and when he moves buildings, he takes the name with him. SAN FRANCISCO -- When there's no consensus but a lot of conviction, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has this advice: "disagree and commit." It's one of the nuggets of wisdom he offered up in his yearly Letter to Shareholders released this week.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos knows a thing or two about building a successful business. Several analysts have predicted that Amazon will be the world's first company with a trillion dollar valuation, and Bezos recently become the second richest person on earth . In his latest letter to Amazon shareholders published Wednesday, Bezos explains why he believes that centering a business around "obsessive customer focus" is the best way to succeed. "Jeff, what does Day 2 look like?" That's a question I just got at our most recent all-hands meeting.
