Vijay Kumar is one of the top roboticists in the world, professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Dean of Penn Engineering, former director of GRASP lab, or the General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception Laboratory at Penn that was established back in 1979, 40 years ago. Vijay is perhaps best known for his work in multi-robot systems (or robot swarms) and micro aerial vehicles, robots that elegantly cooperate in flight under all the uncertainty and challenges that real-world conditions present. This conversation is part of the Artificial Intelligence podcast run by Lex Fridman.

BEIRUT – Unknown warplanes targeted overnight an arms depot and posts of Iranian-backed militias in eastern Syria, near the Iraqi border, killing at least 18 fighters, Syrian opposition activists said Monday. The strikes come amid rising tensions in the Middle East and the crisis between Iran and the U.S. in the wake of the collapsing nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers. An official with an Iranian-backed militia in Iraq blamed Israel for the airstrikes that hit in the eastern Syrian town of Boukamal. There was no immediate comment from Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last month that Iran has no immunity anywhere and that the Israeli military "will act -- and currently are acting -- against them."

Forget Skynet gaining sentience and starting a nuclear apocalypse aimed at humanity. The real fear a lot of folks have about artificial intelligence, robots and other automated processes is what it means for all of our jobs. According to a famous Oxford University study, around 47% of currently existing jobs could potentially be automated away within the next 15 years. While it's inarguable that a certain number of jobs will vanish in the wake of automation, lots of new jobs are going to be created by technology as well. Jobs like data analyst, machine learning scientist, process automation specialists and digital marketing experts are all roles that we're going to see a whole lot more of in the decades to come.

Emerging technology, like blockchain technology, Artificial Intelligence, virtual reality, drones, cloud computing -- are all on the table of the Narendra Modi government as it pushes ahead to realise the goal of better e-governance for citizens. As part of its vision of providing a One Government experience to citizens, the Modi government is moving forward rapidly to implement the India Enterprise Architecture (IndEA) -- a single window digitisation solution for cashless, paperless and faceless services. At an e-Governance conference held in Shillong, Meghalaya, earlier this month, representatives of all the state governments and Union Territories, as well as business houses, brainstormed on the way ahead to provide better e-governance, and exchanged success stories of various states that could be adopted at the national level. A Shillong Declaration was adopted as a roadmap of the way forward, at the conclusion of the two-day 22nd National Conference on e-Governance (NCeG) 2019, with special focus on the Northeast, held on August 8-9, in Shillong. The conference, that saw over 500 delegates attending, with representation from states at the level of Additional Secretary and Principal Secretary, and top representatives of business houses like Wipro, HP and KPMG, was organised by the Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances (DARPG), in association with the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), and the Meghalaya government.

If you are a US university student, you will soon have the option of getting your takeaways delivered by robot thanks to the ambitious expansion plans of Estonian startup Starship. Started in Estonia by ex-Skype entrepreneurs Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis, the company about to dramatically increase the number 6-wheeled delivery bots roaming the streets, following a $40m Series-A funding round. While questions are being raised about the economics of such a robot delivery business, the company is unabashed. Lex Bayer, chief executive, tells Sifted that the company plans to expand to 100 US university campuses over the next two years. With a typical fleet of robots being somewhere between 25 and 50, that could mean more than 5000 robots in service by 2021.
