A preliminary investigation has begun for a fatal car crash involving a Tesla Model S.According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the electric model sedan had Autopilot mode engaged when a driver was killed. SAN FRANCISCO -- Some Tesla owners have used the cars' Autopilot feature to take their hands off the wheel -- and film themselves doing anything but driving. YouTube videos uploaded since Tesla introduced the self-driving feature in October show drivers playing games, pretending to sleep, and in general, not holding the steering wheel. This kind of distracted driving is what Tesla Motors Inc., under federal investigation after a man using Autopilot died from injuries sustained in a May crash, says drivers should not do -- though Tesla founder Elon Musk has teased the possibility that one day, Autopilot could completely replace the role of a human driver. The Autopilot feature is designed to allow Teslas to cruise highways without drivers steering, braking or accelerating.

We're all familiar with the story – sophisticated cyber-attacks are increasing in number and complexity, adding to the workload of already beleaguered security professionals, and helping fuel a surge in cybersecurity job postings. But these positions are incredibly tough to fill because of the insufficient supply of experienced professionals and lack of new talent. In fact, a Stanford University study shows the cybersecurity skilled personnel gap stands at 200,000 unfilled jobs. Between the challenge of choosing the right tool amongst a myriad and the challenge of finding skilled security personnel, you have to wonder: how can companies defend themselves in this increasingly complex threat landscape? Machine learning is an excellent place from which to start.

Chilling aerial footage of Ramadi, a once bustling city in central Iraq, has captured the extent of destruction caused by war. In late December, Iraqi forces, backed by US air strikes, announced the recapturing of Ramadi, which had been lost to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) group in May 2015. The US-led coalition carried out more than 600 air strikes in the area from July to December last year. A new six-minute clip, released by the International Red Committee of The Red Cross (ICRC) shows homes in Ramadi turned to rubble, along with flattened school, destroyed hospitals and damaged ambulances.

MUMBAI: Accenture has entered into a joint research collaboration with IIT Bombay and IIT Patna focused on the different application aspects of Artificial Intelligence. The research, focused on IT services and social good, will look at augmenting software engineers with powerful Artificial Intelligence insights and recommendation for improved productivity. The focus areas of the program includes research in natural language processing, machine learning, neural network, virtual agents, deep learning and other areas of artificial intelligence. It will include software analytics - building, testing, managing and modernization of applications, solving real life social issues such as malnutrition, human trafficking, climate, etc. through prediction and recommendation models, using Artificial Intelligence. "One of the major areas that the research will focus on is natural language processing," said Pushpak Bhattacharyya, director, IIT Patna.

Climate deniers aside, there are very few people who are not concerned about the effects of climate change. According to a poll released by Monmouth University in January, nearly 70% of respondents said "the world's climate is undergoing a change leading to more extreme weather patterns and sea level rise",[1] and a more recent poll from Gallup reported 64% of "Americans are worried a great deal and/or a fair deal about global warming" [2]. What many people are unaware of is the fact climate scientists and business leaders are increasingly turning to Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to combat climate change. In many ways, this is inevitable as the sheer amount of data required to measure the effects of climate change requires the use of next-generation analytics. For example, the large data sets used to analyze climate are often prone to generating false positives and our understanding of climate change is still in its nascent stages.

Pretty much every cinematic portrayal of artificial intelligence has been less than encouraging. HAL 9000 kills the crew members on the Discovery in 2001: A Space Odyssey, making us all a little bit afraid of handing the reins over to computers. Sonny kills his creator in I, Robot, increasing worldwide scepticism about the integration of humans and their smart robots. Even real life AI has given us pause. For example, when an IBM computer defeated Russian chess Grandmaster Garry Kasparov in the 1990s, it was definitely a cause for concern.
