AI Startup Battle coming to São Paulo on December 9, at the BSSML16
The Artificial Intelligence Startup Battle where the jury is an algorithm keeps on traveling around the world! We are glad to announce our next stop: São Paulo, Brazil, on December 9, 2016. This will be the third edition of a series of very exciting battles, where five AI startups compete with each other and are judged by a Machine Learning algorithm, with no human involvement. The world's premiere Artificial Intelligence Startup Battle took place in Valencia, Spain, last March 2016, when Telefónica Open Future_ and BigML presented PreSeries to the world. The reaction of the audience was extremely positive!

Why job security won't exist in the age of'superintelligence' and that's OK Artificial intelligence (AI) is a repeatedly misused term. Coined in 1956 by John McCarthy, it was originally intended to define an independent machine agent that can take actions to maximize success toward a particular goal, with human-like functions such as learning and problem solving. AI can be broadly categorized as ANI (artificial narrow intelligence), AGI (artificial general intelligence) and ASI (artificial superintelligence). Almost all of the AI systems we see today align under ANI -- e.g., IBM Watson, Deep Blue, a calculator, even the device you're reading this from all fall into that category. All are built to perform specific functions, but are not quite at a human level.
What to expect from the brave new world of artificial intelligence and fintech - Technical.ly DC
From there, it won't be long before we begin to wonder how we ever lived without artificially intelligent financial advisors implementing our own personal monetary policy. U.S. financial literacy levels are unacceptably low, and the widespread availability of artificially intelligent money-management tools won't change that. By enabling us to make simple, direct decisions while taking care of the rest, artificially intelligent financial advisors will decrease the prevalence of consumer mistakes and prompt improvement in our overall financial health.I'm actually a perfect example of this point. And while this figures to make things physically easier, the process still won't be simple.
An artificial intelligence system that correctly predicted the last 3 elections says Trump will win
The polls have consistently showed Hillary Clinton with a lead over Donald Trump in recent weeks, but an artificial intelligence system has a different prediction for the outcome of the presidential election. The system, called MogIA, uses 20 million data points from online platforms like Google, YouTube, and Twitter to come up with its predictions, according to CNBC. MogIA correctly predicted the past three presidential elections as well as the Democratic and Republican primaries. "While most algorithms suffer from programmers/developer's biases, MoglA aims at learning from her environment, developing her own rules at the policy layer and develop expert systems without discarding any data," Sanjiv Rai, the founder of Indian start-up Genic.ai MogIA uses data such as engagement with tweets and videos posted to the platforms the system looks at.

How Digitalization is Changing the Healthcare Industry Indonesia Economic Forum
An Android smartwatch from LG launched in 2014. It used to be the domain of science-fiction movies – gadgets that track and record your health data, surgeries performed remotely, and even diagnostics done by robotics. Everywhere we turn, it is apparent that technological advancements are fast changing the healthcare industry. "Technology diagnostics and predictive informatics are the new sciences propelling healthcare into the future," says Gordon Hewitt, chairman of the Global Advisory Board of SIXCAP Group. Today, it is getting increasingly common to see wrists donning a smart watch or health tracker that tells you the amount of calories you have burned, how fast your heartbeat is, and much more. They enable the capture of a continuous stream of data about physiology and kinesiology, empowering consumers with self-knowledge and allowing them to self-monitor their physical activities and prevent undesirable health conditions such as hypertension and stress.
Artificial intelligence the next 'big bet' for online retailers, say bosses
Artificial intelligence is the key to the future of online retail, business bosses have said, providing a crucial way to help shoppers find what they want. Alex Baldock, chief executive of Shop Direct, which runs very.co.uk and Littlewoods, told the Telegraph Festival of Business in London that artificial intelligence was the company's "big bet". "You have three seconds to seize the shopper's attention - it's called thumb stopping, the three-second audition," Mr Baldock said. "That's where personalisation comes in." Shop Direct is owned by Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay, proprietors of Telegraph Media Group, the publisher of the Daily Telegraph.
Practical Cyborgism: Getting Started With Machine Learning for Incident Detection
Organizations today are collecting more information about what's going on in their environments than ever before, but manually sifting through all this data to find evil on your network is next to impossible. Reliable detection of security incidents remains elusive, and there is a distinct lack of open source innovation. It doesn't have to be this way! In this presentation, we'll walk through the creation of a simple Python script that can learn to find malicious activity in your HTTP proxy logs. At the end of it all, you'll not only gain a useful tool to help you identify things that your IDS and SIEM might have missed, but you'll also have the knowledge necessary to adapt that code to other uses as well.
