Big Blue is bringing its Watson artificial intelligence tools to the world in a big way, with new tools announced this week for marketing, commerce, supply chains, and human resources. IBM also rolled out a new hybrid cloud database solution, cognitive capabilities for iOS apps, and services for developers using the Slack collaboration platform. The company announced the new products and services at its World of Watson event taking place this week in Las Vegas. The conference is dedicated to promoting IBM's artificial intelligence technologies. One of the key themes of this year's conference is how Watson can help business professionals.

All eyes are on artificial intelligence right now, and MDC Media Partners is seizing the moment with the launch of Born, an AI-focused agency. The shop, founded by Michael Nicholas, entrepreneur-in-residence and chief experience officer at MDC Media Partners, "is the first agency of its type," said Martin Cass, CEO of MDC Media Partners. "There are lots of people who can write the copy and some who can do the technical stuff, but nobody who is bringing the two together," he added. Mr. Nicholas will retain his role within MDC Media Partners while overseeing Born, along with Max Fresen, the new agency's chief creative officer. Mr. Fresen joined Born from DigitasLBi, where he served as senior-VP, creative of experience design.

According to the Women's Heart Foundation, coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in women. More than twice as many women die from cardiovascular disease as from all forms of cancer combined. Evaluation for suspected coronary disease differs in women because of frequently misleading results provided by treadmill testing without imaging. Gender differences have been observed in treatment practices, and the optimal approach for women has yet to be established. This week they announced the launch of myWanda, the first and only mobile application specifically aimed at empowering women to improve the health of their hearts.

With Google's AI winning a convincing series of GO games, and warnings for an AI overlord making it to the media on a regular basis, the question is not whether artificial intelligence is going to affect travel, but how. Looking at digital transformation in the past, it's safe to say at this time that AI would not replace travel services but rather enhance them, add value and perform tasks it simply does better and faster than us mere humans. Just look at the way we are handling big data for Business Intelligence, for example, or how the Internet of Things is already shaping travel. This is a short but very insightful round-up of a panel discussion on travel with AI experts, including people from IBM's Watson. It gives good examples of how AI can and is already enhancing our travel experiences. Not directly related to travel, but highly relevant still, this article analyses the hurdles to take when using AI as bots to improve personalisation.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is in the midst of a renaissance. New techniques are producing results, such as the defeat of a Go world champion by an AI system developed by a subsidiary of Google, which would have been unthinkable five years ago. These techniques are not just being used to play games. Today, AI is being applied to one of humanity's most daunting challenges: the hunt for a cure for cancer. AI has huge potential for helping scientists manage the mind-boggling complexities of research and other data, to expedite cancer drug discovery and translate scientific findings into real benefits for patients.

It is an algorithm-based piece of artificial intelligence, or AI, created by a team of researchers at CSIRO and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that spontaneously generates zombie faces out of human ones and transforms images of places into visions of the inferno.

Add Adobe Systems to the list of software companies proclaiming themselves to be artificial intelligence powers. It's in august company: IBM ibm, Microsoft, Salesforce crm are all wrapping themselves in the artificial intelligence (aka AI) mantle. On Wednesday, Adobe adbe will show off Sensei, an array of AI technology that it is already adding to software applications for creating and publishing documents, and for analyzing and tracking web and mobile application performance. "Sensei" is the Japanese term for a respected teacher or leader. Adobe founded in 1982, is a venerable force in the creative software world--it's behind familiar tools including the Portable Document Format (PDF) used to format and distribute professional-looking documents; Photoshop for editing photographs; Illustrator for creating graphics; and InDesign for creating professional-looking documents for print or online.

A law professor at the University of Surrey is arguing that it should be possible for computer-based artificial intelligence (AI) systems to be formally considered as inventors for any invention they contribute to, much in the same way a person would. The argument forms part of a paper, which has been published in the Boston College Law Review, entitled I Think, Therefore I Invent: Creative Computers and the Future of Patent Law. In its introduction the report makes the point that while inventions by computers have been granted patents previously, the concept of computer inventorship has never actually been considered by the courts. The concept of giving creative computers the credit for their own inventions may sound surreal but, in reality, they have been generating potentially patentable ideas for decades without acknowledgment. As Professor Ryan Abbott points out in his paper, 'machines have been autonomously generating patentable results for at least twenty years and the pace of such invention is likely increasing.'

The Guardian recently reported on a new AI software capable of predicting the outcome of trials developed by a group of British scientists at University College London.[1] After examining English language data sets for 584 cases relating to torture and degrading treatment, fair trials, and privacy, the AI verdict was the same as the one delivered by the court in 79% of the cases. What's the point, you may ask? Not to replace judges and juries by artificial intelligence, if that's what you fear. As the lead researcher on this project, Dr. Nikolaos Aletras, explains: "We don't see AI replacing judges or lawyers, but we think they'd find it useful for rapidly identifying patterns in cases that lead to certain outcomes.
