Artificial intelligence (AI) has long been a staple of science fiction, but in recent years, technology has improved to the point where real-world AI systems have become usable. In fact, Markets and Markets predicts that that the worldwide market for AI systems could be worth $16.06 billion by 2022. Interestingly, as AI becomes a bigger part of daily life, it also seems to be playing a bigger role in the entertainment industry. Already this decade, filmmakers have put out at least 30 feature films featuring an A.I. character in a key role. By comparison, our research turned up just 19 notable AI movies from the 2000s, 14 from the 1990s and 10 from the 1980s.

Deep Learning, as a branch of Machine Learning, employs algorithms to process data and imitate the thinking process, or to develop abstractions. Deep Learning (DL) uses layers of algorithms to process data, understand human speech, and visually recognize objects. Information is passed through each layer, with the output of the previous layer providing input for the next layer. The first layer in a network is called the input layer, while the last is called an output layer. All the layers between the two are referred to as hidden layers.

One of the more far out automotive ideas shown at CES 2017 was Toyota's Concept-i. It is a car that strives to become a kind of digital life form. Designed by Toyota's CALTY Design Research in Newport Beach, California along with UX created by the Toyota Innovation Hub in San Francisco, the Concept-i car explores the potential of automotive AI. The exterior design doesn't subscribe to traditional category cues of performance or luxury cars. The shapes are futuristic in a funky kind of way.

As Canada continues to emerge as a leader in the artificial intelligence space, it's worth assessing how new AI technologies will change people's lives. Last week on The Disruptors, co-host Bruce Croxon spoke with Yoshua Bengio, who is a pioneer in the machine learning space. Bengio is one of the founders of Element AI, an organization dedicated to helping companies develop an AI-first strategy. "Ten years ago, we were doing very basic research." Bengio discussed how Canada became an AI giant, and how AI technology might impact people's lives going forward.

Rethink Robotics is taking the wraps off a massive project that the company has been working on for two years. "It's been a big part of our development that the world hasn't seen," says Rethink founder and CTO Rodney Brooks. "I've been so excited about this because I know what it can do." A little over a year ago, Rethink started shipping Sawyer, a collaborative robot designed to be faster, stronger, and more precise than the company's first cobot, Baxter, which didn't "sell like hotcakes," as Brooks had expected. But developing a brand-new robot was just part of Rethink's post-Baxter plans: Another goal was completely rebuilding its software platform, called Intera, which is responsible for controlling all of Sawyer's functions as well as allowing users to program the robot.

The team at Google Brain has made an impressive breakthrough for increasing the resolution of images. They've managed to turn 8x8 grids of pixels into monstrous approximations of human beings. Neural networks are our best chance at being able to truly increase the level of detail in a low-resolution image. We're stuck with the pixel information that a photo contains but deep learning can add detail through what are commonly referred to as "hallucinations." This essentially means a piece of software making guesses about an image based on the information it's learned from other images.

Logistic Regression is one of the world's most popular model used to solve classification problems in machine learning. This model will arm you with super powers to solve problems like classifying "spam" or "non-spam" emails, detect malignant tumours, blood pressure and so many more! I have always believed, before learning anything new, you should have a purpose to learn it. I hope you are motivated enough to learn it now! Let us begin with binary classification problem, which means'y' our output can have only two values '0 or 1'.

The claim is also forgetting the key reason why people create so much data that can then be used by these political campaigns - because they spend huge amounts of time online. To therefore argue that it'undermines the notion of an informed citizenry' is simply not true as they have this data on the citizenry because they do so much research online. That people are not informed about wider issues is perhaps an indication of IQ prejudice, where smarter people believe that those with a lower IQ lack the ability to research beyond what is put directly in front of them. The internet is available to around 90% of the US according to Pew, so if they are uninformed it is not that they lack the capacity, but simply that they either lack the drive or propensity to do so.

Organizations have a brief window to experiment and become familiar with the strategies and technologies needed to get ready for an AI-first world, according to a new report from Avanade, the leading digital and cloud services provider. The Avanade Technology Vision 2017, looking at emerging trends for the next three years, finds that we are on the cusp of a new decade of digital disruption powered by artificial intelligence and automation. It states that the emerging AI-first era will bring powerful opportunities and capabilities to organizations – similar to the PC revolution of the 1990s – but they must begin transforming now. The Avanade report highlights that the emerging AI-first era is already creating new ways for organizations to interact with, serve, and empower customers and employees. For example, by augmenting employees' capabilities using AI – including intelligent automation, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and physical automation – organizations will enable workers to achieve far more, faster, with more intelligence-driven actions that deliver better results.
