On average, when an AP sportswriter covers a game, she produces eight different versions of the same story. Aside from writing the main print story, they have to write story summaries, separate ledes for both teams, convert the story to broadcast format, and more. "It's a manual labor nightmare," Jim Kennedy, the AP's senior vice president for strategy and enterprise development, told me in his New York office. Collectively, AP journalists spend about 800 hours a week converting print stories to broadcast format. As a result, the AP is experimenting with machine learning in an attempt to automate some of those processes.

It's no secret that I love technology. From the domination of mobile to the latest in recruitment tools and gamification, and how video and live streaming is having an impact on hiring and training--changes are afoot that many of us couldn't have imagined 15 or so years ago. The reason this "tech meets HR" marriage is so exciting is how quickly the technology evolution has disrupted HR and enhanced the way HR professionals get things done. Now there's another big disrupter on the horizon, one that you would be wise to keep your eyes on: Artificial intelligence. In layman's terms, artificial intelligence (or AI) is an area of computer science where computers are "developed" to behave much the way humans do.

They're not driven by the unknown, but by the present. Let's look at the last epoch-changing technological development: the internet. The tech utopians of the late 20th century saw the incoming digital revolution as a liberating force, one that would dismantle the old power structures that oppress us and help humanity build a new, more perfect society. It's painfully clear now that their hypothesis was laughably naive. Who, exactly, has the internet liberated? Silicon Valley tech tycoons and advertisers aside, it has decimated the music, film and publishing industries, slashed the earnings of musicians, writers, photographers, and just about every other professional whose product can be digitized, shrinking their industries, killing off job openings, and maiming job security.

Microsoft has released a new chat program meant to let colleagues talk to each other. The app will allow people to chat as well as to work together on documents at the same time, in a way similar to Google Docs. But its main competitor will be apps like Slack and Hipchat, which are both instant messaging services that have taken over many connected offices.

As machine learning becomes ubiquitous, robots will be tasked with handling increasingly more sensitive and private data. In order to help protect this personal information, computer scientists at Google have developed neural networks that teach themselves how to encrypt the information they process. A team from Google Brain, the organisation's deep learning research project, taught neural networks how to encrypt and decrypt messages. In a research paper published online the scientists created three neural networks: Alice, Bob, and Eve. Each was assigned its own job.
