Machine Learning Makes Inroads Into The Intricate Art of Translation
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the study and application of techniques and tools that enable computers to process, analyze, interpret, and reason about human language. NLP is an interdisciplinary field and it combines techniques established in fields like linguistics and computer science. These techniques are used in concert with AI to create chatbots and digital assistants like Google Assistant and Amazon's Alexa. Let's take some time to explore the rationale behind Natural Language Processing, some of the techniques used in NLP, and some common uses cases for NLP. In order for computers to interpret human language, they must be converted into a form that a computer can manipulate.
Researchers use laser to hack voice-activated devices like Amazon Echo
Suddenly, the garage door opens, a burglar slides in, uses another laser to have the Echo start the car and drives off. Researchers from the University of Michigan have used laser lights to exploit a wide variety of voice-activated devices, giving them access to everything from thermostats to garage door openers to front door locks. The researchers have communicated their findings to Amazon, Google and Apple, which are studying the research. Working with researchers from the University of Electro-Communications in Japan, U-M's researchers published a paper and a web site detailing how it works. There are also videos showing it in action.
Not for cis straight men: the dating app that launched a thousand queer love stories
Cachรฉ Owens and Cynthia Velรกsquez reached the same conclusion within days of meeting: they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. The pair first started talking on Instagram in January, through a popular account that offered a contemporary version of traditional newspaper personal ads. Owens, a 29-year-old artist and professor, had never had much luck on dating apps, but the Personals page was different. It did not use photos, but instead featured a long list of bios of queer and trans people looking for internet friends, lovers or partners across the globe. Velรกsquez and Owens' DMs turned into daily phone calls, they got engaged in April, Velรกsquez moved from Los Angeles to North Carolina to be with Owens in May, and the two are getting married next month, just before the one-year anniversary of their first Instagram chat.
Alexa as your new bestie: Can an AI robot or voice assistant help you feel less lonely?
Amazon Alexa: "Sorry to hear that. Talking to a friend, listening to music or taking a walk might help. I hope you feel better soon." Alexa's artificial intelligence-infused heart may be in the right place, but there's only so far it or any AI can go to comfort someone who is alone. All the same, Alexa's response raises questions about just what kind of role an AI can play to "cure" loneliness, especially among the elderly.

How insurance can mitigate AI risks
There is a growing consensus that artificial intelligence (AI) will fundamentally transform our economy and society.1 A wide range of commercial applications are being used across many industries. Among these are anomaly detection (e.g., for fraud mitigation), image recognition (e.g., for public safety), speech recognition and natural language generation (e.g., for virtual assistants), recommendation engines (e.g., for robo-advice), and automated decision-making systems (e.g., for workflow applications). While AI's potential benefits are huge, the concerns are substantial as well. Fears exist regarding potential discrimination, safety, privacy, ethics, and accountability for undesired outcomes.

The Sales Person's AI Dream
Throughout most of recorded history buying and selling has been part of daily life. Whether it's agricultural products or the latest software, selling is a communication process whereby one side works to fulfill the needs of a second party via their product or service. The ability of the sales person to properly communicate why a prospect should buy or sell is the reason their role exists. Once an account relationship is in place less human interaction may be required (or desired) and automating the ordering process probably makes sense, except for new products or up-selling opportunities requiring human sales interaction. AI sales tools can augment the sales process both today and in the near future in so many time saving ways (if the right technology is applied, the reps are properly trained, buy into it and use it every day).
