While global economic and social uncertainties in 2020 caused significant stress, progress in intelligent technologies continued. The digital and intelligent transformation of all industries significantly accelerated, with AI technologies showing great potential in combatting COVID-19 and helping people resume work. Understanding future technology trends may never have been as important as it is today. Baidu Research is releasing our prediction of the 10 technology trends in 2021, hoping that these clear technology signposts will guide us to embrace the new opportunities and embark on new journeys in the age of intelligence. In 2020, COVID-19 drove the integration of AI and emerging technologies like 5G, big data, and IoT.

The rising number of innovative start-up operations working within the domain of AI powered tools and services is one of the key factors driving the growth within the global artificial intelligence as a service market. The solutions offered by the players and vendors functioning within the global artificial intelligence as a service market are utilized in a number of end use industry verticals, such as healthcare and life sciences, telecommunications, manufacturing, education, transportation, media and entertainment, banking, financial services, and insurance or BFSI, retail, government and defence, energy, and agriculture, among others. Some of the key technologies used by the players in the global artificial intelligence as a service market include deep learning, natural language processing or NLP, and machine learning or ML. The rising demand from the BFSI industry vertical is positively influencing the growth in the global artificial intelligence as a service market. On the other hand, healthcare and life sciences end use industry vertical is also expected to contribute heavily in the development of the global artificial intelligence as a service market in coming years.

Machine learning is the foundation for predictive modeling and artificial intelligence. If you want to learn about both the underlying concepts and how to get into building models with the most common machine learning tools this path is for you. In this course, you will learn the core principles of machine learning and how to use common tools and frameworks to train, evaluate, and use machine learning models. This course is designed to prepare you for roles that include planning and creating a suitable working environment for data science workloads on Azure. You will learn how to run data experiments and train predictive models. In addition, you will manage, optimize, and deploy machine learning models into production.

I had seen the Edge Impulse development platform for machine learning on edge devices being used by several boards, but I hadn't had an opportunity to try it out so far. So when Seeed Studio asked me whether I'd be interested to test the nRF52840-powered XIAO BLE Sense board, I thought it might be a good idea to review it with Edge Impulse as I had seen a motion/gesture recognition demo on the board. It was quite a challenge as it took me four months to complete the review from the time Seeed Studio first contacted me, mostly due to poor communications from DHL causing the first boards to go to customs' heaven, then wasting time with some of the worse instructions I had seen in a long time (now fixed), and other reviews getting in the way. But I finally managed to get it working (sort of), so let's have a look. Since the gesture recognition demo used an OLED display, I also asked for it and I received the XIAO BLE board (without sensor), the XIAO BLE Sense board, and the Grove OLED Display 0.66″.

IBM has been warning about the cybersecurity skills gap for several years now and has recently released a report on the lack of artificial intelligence (AI) skills across Europe. The company said in a Friday email to SC Media that cybersecurity has been experiencing a significant workforce and skills shortage globally, and AI can offer a crucial technology path for helping solve it. "Given that AI skillsets are not yet widespread, embedding AI into existing toolsets that security teams are already using in their daily processes will be key to overcoming this barrier," IBM stated in the email. "AI has great potential to solve some of the biggest challenges facing security teams -- from analyzing the massive amounts of security data that exists to helping resource-strapped security teams prioritize threats that pose the greatest risk, or even recommending and automating parts of the response process." Oliver Tavakoli, CTO at Vectra, said the potential of machine learning (ML) and AI materially helping in the pursuit of a large set of problems across many industries has created an acute imbalance in the supply and demand of AI talent.

Apache Spark is the de-facto standard for large scale data processing. This is the first course of a series of courses towards the IBM Advanced Data Science Specialization. We strongly believe that is is crucial for success to start learning a scalable data science platform since memory and CPU constraints are to most limiting factors when it comes to building advanced machine learning models. In this course we teach you the fundamentals of Apache Spark using python and pyspark. We'll introduce Apache Spark in the first two weeks and learn how to apply it to compute basic exploratory and data pre-processing tasks in the last two weeks.

Climate change is here, and it's set to get much worse, experts say – and as a result, many industries have pledged to reduce their carbon footprints in the coming decades. Now, the recent jump in energy prices due mainly to the war in Ukraine, also emphasizes the need for development of cheap, renewable forms of energy from freely available sources, like the sun and wind – as opposed to reliance on fossil fuels controlled by nation-states. But going green is easier for some industries than for others,- and one area where it is likely to be a significant challenge is in data centers, which require huge amounts of electricity to cool off, in some cases, the millions of computers deployed. Growing consumer demand to reduce carbon output, along with rules that regulators are likely to impose in the near future, require companies that run data centers to take immediate steps to go green. And artificial intelligence, machine learning, neural networks, and other related technologies can help enterprises of all kinds achieve that goal, without having to spend huge sums to accomplish it.
