Deep learning and GPU computing have quickly advanced the abilities of image recognition technology to superhuman levels. Now, PicsArt, maker of the social photo editor by the same name, is applying this breakthrough in artificial intelligence to the creation of images. Hitting the market today, "Magic Effects" is a new feature in the latest version of the PicsArt app, which has been downloaded more than 300 million times and boasts 80 million active monthly users. Magic Effects uses GPU-powered AI to analyze the quality and context of photos, and enables users to transform their pics in seconds with an array of filtering effects that are customized based on the AI analysis. If, for example, a user applies the "Neo Pop" effect to a photo, the result won't be standardized.

One of our neighbours is a company called Rainbird which is building a commercial AI platform. We paid them a visit to learn more about AI and its intersection with design. Artificial Intelligence is a very wide, multi-disciplinary field. This means that there's no single model for how software and hardware come together to create practical applications. Knowledge modelling: This is a way to gather and organise human input to capture a particular area of knowledge.

In the year leading up to Sandra Bland's arrest, she uploaded a series of videos to YouTube, recorded on her cell phone, called "Sandy Speaks." In the first of the series, made on Jan. 15, 2015, Bland expressed her wish to educate black youth about how to interact with law enforcement, believing that children were the key to a more peaceful, unprejudiced future. "With the police brutality, all the things that have been going on in the news," Bland says, curlers in her hair, "a lot of people have been making noise and expressing their opinions about how they feel. Somewhere along the way we've forgotten about the kids. I want to get some dialogue started with them ... Why not educate them on interacting with the people who are really important to our survival?"

Our previous discussion on augmented reality revealed a new trend in supply chain management, the use of computer-simulated imagery to enhance production and efficiency. However, the supply chain tends to forget how augmented reality will naturally transform the entire supply chain, and supply chain artificial intelligence is one of the key driving forces behind supply chain augmented reality. However, artificial intelligence is poised to radically change the supply chain in profound ways. Let's take a closer look at what artificial intelligence is and what it can offer the exciting world of supply chain management. "Alexa....please tell Baxter the Robot to machine this part."

Splunk on Tuesday outlined new versions of its flagship suites with an emphasis on machine learning advances. Since late 2014, the BetterWorks team has been building data infrastructures to develop the employee's "work profile"--called the BetterWorks Work Graph --informed by everything related to an employee's work. The Work Graph collects data on the work and performance relationships of an employee available in the BetterWorks platform, including goal alignment, organization chart, cross-functional goals and teams, comments, data from integrated key results, recognition hashtags and more. Microsoft has announced several new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered features for Office 365 and Dynamics 365 for Sales. Machine learning is bringing data analysis into a new era, allowing companies to use predictive analytics that continually "learn" from historical data.

"Microsoft was born to do a certain set of things. We're about empowering people in organizations all over the world to achieve more. In today's world, we want to use AI to achieve that." That's Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, crisply explaining the company's artificial-intelligence vision to me this afternoon shortly after he hosted a keynote at Microsoft's Ignite conference for IT pros in Atlanta. But even if Microsoft only pursues AI opportunities that it considers to be core to its mission, it has a remarkably broad tapestry to work with.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella: "We're infusing intelligence into everything we deliver." Microsoft has announced several new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered features for Office 365 and Dynamics 365 for Sales. At its annual Ignite conference this week in Atlanta, GA, Microsoft is showing off new AI features across its core products for the enterprise. According to CEO Satya Nadella, this AI-everywhere strategy amounts to Microsoft "democratizing AI" for everyone to solve the world's most pressing challenges. "To do this, we're infusing intelligence into everything we deliver, from the agent to applications, services and infrastructure," said Nadella.

While this may have some potential positive benefits like decreasing healthcare costs and nudging you to eat better foods, exercise more and use cheap preventive health care services - it is rife with diagnostic accuracy problems at this time considering the high rate of false positives, bad data, patterns that mean nothing, correlations that do not equal causation, and discounting genetic and other factors. Human physiology is a high causal density environment and assessing overall health is tricky even for trained physicians.

Retailers that still rely on traditional analytics will always be one step behind their competitors. A more efficient solution for understanding and responding to customer behavior is machine learning.
