Apple has acquired the Indian startup Tuplejump. This is the fourth machine learning company acquired by the high-tech giant over a one year period. Tuplejump's takeover by Apple actually happened in June but went unnoticed until now, according to Bloomberg. Tuplejump founder Rohit Rai is not living in Seattle, where Turi is located and he began working for Apple in May. Among Tuplejump's dozen workers, many were already based on the U.S. west coast.

Over the last few decades, globalization has created great wealth and brought millions out of poverty. Today, a combination of technology, politics, and social pressures seems to be reversing globalization. While the new technology will continue to create wealth, it will favor developed countries. The increasing regionalization of economies and differences in rates of growth will create instability and challenge international security arrangements. The Economist defines globalization as the "global integration of the movement of goods, capital and jobs." The combination of labor cost advantages, efficient freight systems, and trade agreements fueled globalization by providing regional cost advantages for manufacturing. Over the last six decades, it transformed agricultural societies into industrial powerhouses.

Microsoft has deployed reprogrammable computer chips in Azure datacentres across 15 countries to ensure its infrastructure can efficiently process the data generated by its artificial intelligence (AI) activities at scale.

Are the NYU Deep Learning course taken down? I want to re-watch some of the videos, but it seems like they taken down.

Today the use of artificial intelligence is in so much of the technology we use every day. Since 2011 investments in artificial intelligence related products has exceeded 2 billion. There has also been progress made with cognitive artificial intelligence such as with IBM Watson. Technology is being created that can think for itself as well as adapt and solve problems by itself, much like how the human brain works. Artificial intelligence tends to have many definitions but can be summed up as technology that can perform tasks which normally require human intelligence.

Artificial intelligence startups are emerging as a magnet for venture capital investment. Today, it was the San Francisco-based Skymind Inc. that took the spotlight after raising 3 million in funding from Chinese web giant Tencent Holdings Ltd., Y Combinator and three other early-stage backers. The group joins an already impressive list of investors that includes Lookout Security Inc. Deepmind will use the capital to spread the word about its open-source Deeplearning4j framework, which promises to speed up the development of artificial intelligence applications. The project distinguishes itself from the numerous free alternatives out there by providing a number of value-added features specifically geared towards the requirements of large enterprises.

From deep learning neural networks to artificial intelligence-based facial recognition, artificial intelligence has taken leaps and bounds in 2016. Virtual assistants and autopilot driving services are already influencing our lives, and the pace of innovation is frightening to some – but exciting for others. But if you work in cyber security, these advances also herald more challenging times ahead. Cyber security is already one of the top business risks today, and adding artificial intelligence (AI) to the hacker's already-sophisticated toolkit will make the job of defending against cyber attackers harder still. Modern hackers don't just target governments or large organisations – they can infiltrate any network activity and impact public services and individuals too.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display

Dr. Sheila Nirenberg poses for a photograph in her lab in New York Thursday Sept. 1. The device in front of her is a prototype that demonstrates the coding process. Ford Motor Co. could make its next autonomous car breakthrough with the help of a New York neuroscientist who's attempting to restore sight to the blind. The Dearborn automaker last month announced a licensing agreement with Nirenberg Neuroscience to help it bring a fully autonomous car to market in 2021. The New York company was founded by Dr. Sheila Nirenberg, who four years ago cracked the code to how the brain receives and processes visual images through electrical impulses.

Recently, the popular weather app Dark Sky launched a website version of its platform, and at first glance, it didn't look much different than the mobile version. There are some advanced deep-dive features, but the main draw is still the gorgeous maps and hyper-local forecasts. Even the company's cofounder, Adam Grossman, admits that its function is partially just to direct more people to the app store. "It's a lower barrier to entry for using our platform than downloading a 4 app," he says. What's most exciting about the site is not what you see in your browser.
