Poachers have a new enemy: artificial intelligence. Scientists have developed an AI system that can continuously learn and adapt to illegal activities and help rangers move swiftly to protect endangered animals in the wild. Researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to solve increasing poaching activities, applying computer science and game theory to lead the innovation to outwit poachers in the wild. A team of scientists have successfully created an AI system that "learns" information and uses data to map out ranger patrols that are most effective in protecting endangered animals living in the wild. These ranger patrols are still the most direct wildlife protection methods against poachers.

Artificial Intelligence seems to be everywhere at the moment. Massive tech companies are spending vast amounts of money on research and development of ever more sophisticated AI-focused tools, services and other assorted products. News outlets give a huge amount of coverage to events in which AI is the star of the show. Perhaps most importantly, AI is being discussed more by the public at large. Yet for the vast majority of people, AI is a nebulous area.

IBM's California research lab sits atop a green hill in Almaden, 15 miles south of downtown San Jose. There aren't any signs that suggest if you drive up the narrow road that wraps around the hill you'll find a research facility at the top. No signs that the research center is home to a Fortune 500 company. No signs -- even inside -- that the company once dominated the personal computer industry. After decades in the spotlight as a hardware-centric firm selling PCs, servers and mainframes, the 105-year-old tech giant has made a dramatic shift into a realm that few understand: cognitive computing.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is all around us. Unlike the Terminator robots, AI exists in subtle ways, embedded in our daily activities thanks to the rise of big data and machine learning. When Facebook tries to connect users with new friends or businesses, Netflix suggests a new TV series to watch, or Amazon recommends a book, these are all examples of AI presented to people via machine learning – a statistical method that finds patterns and makes predictions based on vast volumes of data. After years of hype, most organisations now have a solid understanding of the potential of big data. In fact, the majority of them are actively pursuing means to capitalise on all the information they capture.

Another self-driving car startup is about to hit the roads. The Wall Street Journal reports that Drive.ai, a Silicon Valley startup that received 12 million in funding last year, has been granted a license to test autonomous vehicles on California roads. It's the 13th company to receive permission. Rather than programming a car so that it knows exactly what to do, Drive.ai That means, like a human, the more time it spends driving and the more scenarios it encounters, the better it'll get at responding to them.

By 2020, we will all have an Invisible Friend. Whether we call it Siri, Alexa, OK Google, or a chatbot, we are entering a world where an intelligence assistant recognizes our "intent." This could spawn a massive consumer behavior shift, as AI-influenced bots would mean far fewer Google searches by humans. This invisible friend would learn from its mistakes, maintain context, and continue to expand into new areas of expertise through judicious use of Knowledge Management (see below landscape). Although 2020 is our destination, now is a time of heightened activity among the companies that provide the elements of Intelligent Assistance.
