Setback for Google As Huawei Builds AI Assistant

#artificialintelligence

Alphabet Inc. subsidiary Google's (GOOG) artificial intelligence (AI) assistant is failing to catch on. A Bloomberg report this morning states that Chinese smartphone manufacturer Huawei, which uses Google's Android operating system for its phones, is developing its own voice-activated AI assistant. According to the report, Huawei's AI assistant, which will use local languages in China for communication, is targeted at the Chinese market and is intended to compete with the likes of Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) Siri and Amazon.com, This is the second such announcement after Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd (SSNLF), which also uses Google's mobile operating system in its phones, announced its own digital assistant last year. While Samsung has the largest number of mobile phone shipments, Huawei is ranked third. Huawei has also announced that it will pre-install Alexa, Amazon's voice assistant, on its Mate 9 phones.


EU Commission proposes rules governing robotics and AI

#artificialintelligence

In a new resolution, members of the European Parliament have proposed EU Commission rules governing robotics and artificial intelligence. The proposed rules will focus on issues of liability, the impact of robots on the workforce, a code of ethical conduct for developers, and the establishment of a European Agency for robotics and artificial intelligence. Liability issues are of growing concern, with MEPs pointing specifically to issues surrounding the growing market in self-driving cars. They have called for mandatory insurance and a supplementary fund to ensure compensation for victims of accidents involving autonomous vehicles. In the resolution, MEPs also stated a concern that the growing adoption of robots in the workforce could cause labor market disruption and proposed a'robot tax' on companies adopting robots to replace human workers.

Will The Rise of AI and Robots Put Your Company at Risk or Make You More Competitive?

#artificialintelligence

The biggest trend emerging in 2017 has got to be artificial intelligence (AI), and its applications in machine learning, robots, and blockchain technologies. This certainly became apparent for me at two events I attended last fall. I was invited to speak about design thinking at logistic company Dematic's global supply chain conference and had a chance to visit their robotics trade show. The excitement about robotics and emerging technologies was through the roof, and no one seemed to be afraid of robots taking over the world. The answer is simple; they need cross-disciplinary problem-solvers, and leaders who know how to manage people, just like any other successful 21st century company.)

Machine Learning Invades the Real World on Internet Balloons

#artificialintelligence

Astro Teller knows how to draw attention. He was wearing his rollerblades on Thursday when he glided into a roomful of reporters to announce that Project Loon--Alphabet's wacky-sounding plan to deliver the internet to the world's farthest-flung places via giant balloons--is even closer to reality than the company previously thought. It was a made-for-the-press moment, but Teller buried the lede. It's cool that these balloons may soon start broadcasting internet signals from the stratosphere. But the bigger deal here is that machine learning is moving beyond its digital origins into the real world.


Tech billionaire's dire warning

#artificialintelligence

A group of researchers at California?s Stanford University say they've created a computer-based artificial intelligence algorithm that can identify skin cancer as accurately as a doctor. Tech billionaire Elon Musk shared his insights about the future at an event in Dubai. ELON Musk believes artificial intelligence could be catastrophic for humanity. He thinks we are set to become a cyborg race, which will have to grapple with 15 per cent of the global work force being without a job, reports The Sun. The creative genius added a'universal income' would have to be introduced for the global population because robots will do everything.


How Artificial Intelligence Can Help Mankind Solve Global Problems

#artificialintelligence

Current research projects show that artificial intelligence (AI) can help us solving global problems for the greater good of mankind. Despite the headlines presenting crashes involving self-driving cars, the applications of AI technology in this area could dramatically reduce injuries and deaths on the roads. Self-driving cars could also change our lifestyles. Thanks to this emerging technology, we will have more time to entertain ourselves of work during commutes. The decreased cognitive load and the increased comfort provided by shared transportation and self-driving may also affect where people choose to live.
