ARTIFICIAL intelligence is a longstanding science fiction staple that is coming into its own. Google, Facebook, Apple and others are all developing A.I. tools. You can try out some apps today that demonstrate fledgling forms of the technology by smartly, swiftly and automatically doing tasks that would otherwise take lots of effort. The Roll, for instance, is a new intelligent app that can help organize the thousands of photos that you take with your phone. The app scans a photo library, analyzing each image and trying to spot which ones are similar.

Well I gotta tell y'all, I have a really awesome community. Even when you think IBM is down and out, they come along to redefine potentially cloud computing with the next-generation in quantum. Pretty cool coming from a tech lover. As you know it gets kind of exciting around here and I get lots of questions from readers like you. Q: …If you would kindly provide me with your honest opinion of Tradestation?

RED SAP Solutions has announced that it is working with SAP on a project that will apply Machine Learning to the recruitment process. According to RED, it will use the Machine Learning based solution to improve the service it offers to its clients, enabling them to cut time to hire and recruit the best people more quickly, and therefore reduce cost to hire. The project is already tapping into 15 years' information, and every time RED adds new requirements, processes potential matches, sends client details to candidates and make placements, it says it will continue to improve its predictions. This will improve productivity for RED, and enable the company to improve its customer service and widen its portfolio of client-centric services.

RED SAP Solutions has announced that it is working with SAP on a project that will apply Machine Learning to the recruitment process. The company states that this will transform the process of finding the right candidates, by using artificial intelligence to recommend the best match for any open position. According to RED, it will use the Machine Learning based solution to improve the service it offers to its clients, enabling them to cut time to hire and recruit the best people more quickly, and therefore reduce cost to hire. Together with the expertise and experience of RED's staff, this means its clients will be able to find the best SAP resources for their projects, anywhere in the world. Machine Learning based algorithms, together with RED's vast pool of data, will recommend on what makes a candidate right for a particular position.

A trade worth an estimated 20 billion, the beauty industry continually grows at a rate of around 3 percent annually. Unfortunately, the industry merely survives in the digital age where some industries are booming. Hence, artificial intelligence is deemed as a key to unlock the exponential growth of this industry. A rtificial intelligence could one day scan the music videos we watch to come up with predictive music discovery options based on the emotions of the performer. Which means that A.I. will soon be able to recognize Bono's sad face and serve you more mopey Bono, or perhaps something more smiley.

Google's new Tensor Processing Units are custom-built for machine learning. Yesterday at Google's I/O developers conference, CEO Sundar Pichai briefly spoke about a custom-built chip that helps give Google its edge in machine learning and artificial intelligence. The chip, dubbed a TPU or Tensor Processing Unit (in keeping with Google's A.I. platform TensorFlow), is specifically wrought for running Google's decision-making algorithms. But Pichai's speech and the accompanying blog post only reveal a few details about TPUs. About the only useful thing we know about the chip is that it's an ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit.

They might not be delivering our mail (or our burritos) yet, but drones are now simple, small, and affordable enough that they can be considered a toy. The Parrot AR Drone has an API that lets you control not only the drone's movement but also stream video and images from its camera. In this post, I'll show you how you can use Python and node.js to build a drone that moves all by itself. So given that I'm not a drone, or a machine vision professional, I'm going to have to keep things simple. For this project, I'm going to teach my drone how to follow a red object.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Google has no plans to expand its partnership with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV to create a self-driving car, the program chief at the Alphabet Inc unit said on Thursday, affirming that the technology company was still in talks with other potential partners. Earlier this month, Google and Fiat Chrysler agreed to work together to build a fleet of 100 self-driving minivans in the most advanced collaboration to date between Silicon Valley and a traditional carmaker. Google said it was not sharing proprietary self-driving vehicle technology with Fiat Chrysler, and that the vehicles would not be offered for sale. "This is just FCA and Google building 100 cars together," Google self-driving car Chief Executive John Krafcik said in an interview on the sidelines of an energy conference in Washington. "We're still talking to a lot of different automakers," he added.

When Google unveiled its new smart assistant earlier this week, it revealed the most basic name possible: Assistant. You don't even really call it that -- to summon it from Google's new smart speaker, you'd address it with a simple "Hey, Google" or the same "OK, Google" that you'd use to activate its voice search and predictive service, Google Now. But Assistant's lack of personality was quite intentional, according to Jonathan Jarvis, a former creative director on Google's Labs team. While at the company, he led a team doing concept, strategy, and design on products like the Search app and even Alphabet's logo rebrand. Jarvis worked on Assistant only up until February, so he wasn't there for the final decision to use "Assistant" as the platform's name.
