CASL, Canada's anti-spam legislation, has been with us since July 2014. In July 2017 a private right of action becomes effective that will allow anyone who receives spam as defined by CASL to sue the sender. CASL sets out statutory damages, so the complainant does not have to prove any damages. Class actions will no doubt be launched. The sad part is that breaches of CASL are to a large extent breaches of the very technical requirements of the statute, rather than the sending of what most people would call spam.

Artificial Intelligence: Upping the Ante," beginning Jan. 11 at Rivers Casino, poker pros will play a collective 120,000 hands of Heads-Up No-Limit Texas Hold'em over 20 days against a CMU computer program called Libratus.

We are writing this blog to motivate all developer towards artificial intelligence and while reading this blog removes the complex that A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) is tough, difficult and blah, blah, blah. So now, we will explore the whole new world of artificial intelligence. So, what is artificial intelligence? Again, as we said we don't make things complicated, so, A.I. is just a piece of code which solves your real-life problem without getting any humans involved in it, or to be specific we can say that a software which is like a small child which needs some training and after that it is capable of solving your real-life problems. And if you want a specific definition by Alan Turing, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is usually defined as the science of making computers do things that require intelligence when done by humans.

The amount of data being collected by complex processing devices such as self-driving cars (Tesla and Uber) to simple devices such as shoes and watches, will allow devices to think on their own and only allow humans to pick the options (Sounds like the Terminator movie.

Companies like Apple, Google, Samsung, and Microsoft have all vied for control over the phones we carry in our pockets, the computers at our desks, and even the watches on our wrists. But over the past year a new arms race has emerged in Silicon Valley: competing to develop the most sophisticated virtual assistant. That's the annual Las Vegas tech confab where gadget makers, auto manufacturers, and app developers gather to flaunt their latest and, they hope, greatest. Although Amazon didn't officially attend the conference, Alexa showed up in car infotainment systems, new smartphones, robots, lamps, and even laundry machines. Ford, Whirlpool, Lenovo, GE, and Dish are a few of the brands announcing plans to add Amazon's voice-activated helper to their hardware.

Summary: Which is the most critical element in data exploration, statistics or data visualization? The answer is a little like the lyric'love and marriage, you can't have one without the other'. It can be tempting to skip the data visualization but it's frequently the key to making sure we aren't heading down the completely wrong path. How much trouble can you get into with statistics? That old catch phrase has been applied to our broader society for a long time but even a data scientist can run afoul of this maxim. I admit, when talking about data visualization, I'm usually thinking about telling the story of the data and the analysis to my non-data scientist clients.

Intelligent machines are becoming a ubiquitous and essential part of business operations. Algorithms trained by faster, smarter data now play a key role in determining customer demand, increasing customer trust and delivering unprecedented productivity and intelligence to the enterprise. But despite the success of some early adopters, most machine learning projects fail. Regardless of their size, location or industry, businesses have been struggling to fully unlock and realize the value of their information. In fact, a recent Information Value Index from PwC and Iron Mountain found that 57 percent of businesses are unable to extract significant value from their data; 23 percent are unable to derive any real value at all.

Cloud computing is now being embraced by a majority of enterprises of all sizes. Yesterday's debate about public vs. private has transformed into the reality of hybrid cloud: a recent survey shows that 74% of enterprises have a hybrid cloud strategy. Meanwhile, 94% of enterprises are using some form of XaaS - software, platform, and infrastructure as a service. Cloud Expo is the single show where delegates and technology vendors can meet to experience and discuss the entire world of the cloud. Learn what is going on, contribute to the discussions, and ensure that your enterprise is as "Cloud-Ready" as it can be!

Amazon's workforce has exploded in recent years, more than doubling since the end of 2014, when it employed 154,000 people. As of the latest count, there were 306,000 employees working worldwide for the Seattle tech giant. But another group is growing just as quickly as the company's human workforce: the number of robots working alongside people in Amazon fulfillment centers. The company said this week that it has 45,000 "robotic units" operating in 20 distribution centers working with people to fill and ship customer orders. The number is up 50 percent from the 30,000 bots that Amazon reported across 13 fulfillment centers in the third quarter of 2015.

Tech companies flocked to the Las Vegas Convention Center as the 50th Consumer Electronics Show--a quaint descriptor in the era of self-driving cars, big data and cloud-based storage systems, as the New York Times pointed out--kicked off Thursday morning. However, techies across the globe unable to foot the bill, let alone make it to Sin City for the couple dozen free conferences, can tune in to the CES 2017 live stream for free. Although many see CES as a "schmoozefest" and a giant publicity stunt for the likes of Microsoft, Apple, Samsung and Google, the conference offers plenty of reasons for the world's tech-obsessed to take a look. Versions of Amazon's popular artificial intelligence-equipped speaker and home helper, the Echo, are likely to be ubiquitous. BBC's preview of the event pointed to a demo by the French startup Bixi that allows tablet and smartphone users to control their devices from a short distance by making hand gestures.
