DeepMind, founded in the UK in 2010, created the first computer program to ever beat a professional at the game of Go (AlphaGo), created a DeepRL system to play Atari games at beyond human level performance (DQN), and is engaged in various research projects with the NHS to apply machine learning to radiotherapy planning for head and neck cancers and identification of conditions like age related macular degeneration in optical coherence tomography scans.

Mark your Google calendars because from today'Don't be evil' rides again, via the DeepMind AI division of the Alphabet ad giant, as a Hippocratic assurance to'Do no harm'. It's no small irony that DeepMind's new mantra for its healthcare push, voiced by co-founder Mustafa Suleyman at an outreach event today for patients to hear what the Google-owned company wants to build with U.K. National Health Service data, is uncomfortably close to its old one -- i.e. the one that embarrassingly fell out of favor. Suleyman cited the Hippocratic oath when discussing his takeaways from patient feedback on the company's plans. "[Do no harm] has to be a mantra we repeat and becomes an inherent part of our process," he said towards the end of the three hour discussion session which was live streamed on YouTube (with a call for comments via a #DMHpatients Twitter hashtag). "And [do no harm] should be the first measure of success before any deployment or before we attempt to demonstrate any utility and patient benefit," he added.

We @ProjectJunoAI are big fans of landscapes. That's why we've created a machine intelligence landscape focused entirely on Europe. Europe deserves a landscape of its own to highlight its talent and expertise. Until recently, its contribution to the innovation and commercialisation of machine intelligence technologies has been under-appreciated. We now see growing self-confidence borne of the success, and continued presence, of local acquired startups like VocalIQ, Swiftkey, Deepmind, Magic Pony Technology, and PredictionIO.

The artificial intelligence offshoot of Google has paired up with University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for a research project. DeepMind Health announced that it will be receiving anonymised data from the trust for a research partnership into head and neck cancer. The five-year collaboration will use around 700 anonymised CT and MRI scans of former patients, dating back to 2008, and additional data relating to approximate age, anatomy location, cancer type and radiotherapy received. Currently before radiotherapy can be administered, clinicians take up to four hours to identify and differentiate between cancerous and healthy tissues on CT and MRI scans of head and neck cancer patients. This process is called segmentation.

Dr. Demis Hassabis is the Co-Founder and CEO of DeepMind, the world's leading General Artificial Intelligence (AI) company, which was acquired by Google in 2014 in their largest ever European acquisition. Demis will draw on his eclectic experiences as an AI researcher, neuroscientist and video games designer to discuss what is happening at the cutting edge of AI research, including the recent historic AlphaGo match, and its future potential impact on fields such as science and healthcare, and how developing AI may help us better understand the human mind.

Perhaps the biggest moment so far in the machine learning field was when Google's DeepMind AI beat Lee Sedol, an 18-time world Go champion. Go is a highly complex game even for humans, and machines weren't supposed to start winning against professionals for at least another decade. DeepMind winning against a Go world champion sent shockwaves through the technology industry.

Thinking machines are still decades away from stealing our jobs, but in the meantime they could drastically improve our quality of life and even earn us some extra cash, according to a leading artificial intelligence expert. Toby Simpson, chief technology officer at Cambridge global learning and simulation firm Ososim, will discuss how AI will impact our future at the London Press Club's monthly gathering on Monday. Mr Simpson previously worked at AI company DeepMind, which was acquired by Google in 2014 and is now based in King's Cross. He specialises in biologically inspired artificial intelligence, which helps to make it more human-like and emotional in its interactions with people. At the event for industry professionals in Whitehall -- called Technology: How far can it go?

From Google's purchase of Deepmind to Apple's purchase of VocalIQ, big deals in UK's intelligence technologies are booming. However, commercial innovations are only part of the story. Join Digital Catapult to meet SMEs, academics and investors working in this space. It's a fantastic opportunity to find out what the UK's leading academic and research organisations and businesses are doing and attending, you'll also gain exclusive insights into market opportunities, challenges and exciting advances.

WaveNet won't have immediate commercial applications because the system requires too much computational power: it has to sample the audio signal it is being trained on 16,000 times per second or more, DeepMind said. And then for each of those samples it has to form a prediction about what the soundwave should look like based on each of the prior samples. Even the DeepMind researchers acknowledged in their blog post that this "is a clearly challenging task."
