Conversational eCommerce: BOTs AI
At this moment there are a lot of new technologies that could have a massive impact on eCommerce. This is why Managers are having a difficult time to place the correct bet. For this reason, we have investigated Managers and Directors to navigate future eCommerce trends. We asked more than 60 carefully chosen managers from all around Europe. First, we asked them about their eCommerce investments last year.
The Robots Cometh
The age of the bot has begun. We just have barely begun to notice. It's only been 10 years, and smartphones have fundamentally changed our world, the bot revolution will come quicker, and have an even greater impact on us. The bots cometh in all shapes and sizes, hardware and software, automations and AI and robot fried and foe. But most likely our most common interaction with them in the very near future will be in the form of messenger/personal assistant and customer service bots.
Why Intel Is Buying Mobileye, And What Does It Need To Do To Be Successful?
In a move that hopes can propel it to the forefront of The Next Big Thing, Intel announced it would purchase Mobileye, an Israeli company that makes sensors and cameras for driverless vehicles. Buying a leader to become a leader is never cheap: Intel will pay $13.3B for the firm, a 34% premium over Mobileye's closing price last Friday. The two companies have a history of collaboration, having announced a partnership with BMW last year to put driverless vehicles on the road by 2021. But until this acquisition, it was hard to take Intel seriously in the automotive market; Intel only has a partial solution in-house. It takes specialized silicon to keep up with the massive data rates generated by a vehicle or a missile, and Mobileye brings that needed capability to Intel.

Deep learning and stock trading
When applied to the S&P 500 constituents from 1992 to 2015, their stock selections generated annual returns in the double digits--whereas the highest profits were made at times of financial turmoil. In March 2016, South Korean Lee Sedol, one of the best Go players in the world, lost to the AlphaGo computer program. It was a milestone in the history of artificial intelligence because up to that point the Asian board game had been considered too complex for computers. Behind successes such as this are programs that are modelled on biological systems and are constructed in a form similar to neural networks so that they can independently extract relationships from millions of data points. 'Artificial neural networks are primarily applied to problems, where solutions cannot be formulated with explicit rules,' explains Dr. Christopher Krauss of the Chair for Statistics and Econometrics at FAU. 'Image and speech recognition are typical fields of application, such as Apple's Siri.

3 predictions for the future of retail – from the CEO of Walmart
What will shopping be like in 10 years? No one knows all the details (that's exciting!), but one thing is for sure: it will be very different than it is today. History is clear about that. In the mid-19th century, most people in the US were shopping at small markets. They would tell the manager what they wanted, and then wait for the item to be retrieved from the back or from the supplier.
Is Siri lying to you? Knowing when a bot sounds trustworthy is the next step in digital security
Trust is important when it comes to design. Whenever we arrive at a new website or consider a product, we rely on feeling like we trust a brand in order to interact with it. Whether you trust the service or not is the difference between whether you will sign up, make an order, refer a friend, or come back for a second spin--all within a matter of a few unconscious seconds. But that's no longer the only place we look for trust. The graphic user interfaces (GUIs) you use to interact with websites are slowly being complemented or replaced entirely by voice user interfaces (VUIs), such as personal-assistant bots.
