The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) is already happening, and it's transforming the way manufacturing operations are carried out. Industry 4.0 is a product of the digital era as automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies shift the central industrial control system to a smart setup that bridges the physical and digital world, addressed via the Internet of Things (IoT). Industry 4.0 is creating cyber-physical systems that can network a production process enabling value creation and real-time optimisation. The main factor driving the revolution is the advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. The complex algorithms involved in AI use the data collected from cyber-physical systems, resulting in "smart manufacturing".

Smartphones and GPS have made paper maps virtually obsolete and put the power of navigation in our pockets. But now, engineers are working on a high-tech update for another directional tool that could revolutionize how we find our way around. The first street signs date back hundreds of years. They help you figure out where you are and where you're going. But what if they could be updated throughout the day, hour by hour to keep you informed about what's happening around you? "This is a fully-functioning street sign that allows you to essentially market, advertise and communicate out to the public," Michael Ottoman said, showing off a hi-tech version of the old street sign.

Machine learning model and Neural Networks helps in extracting archaic information about human civilization. Archaeology is the gateway to our past. It describes events which shaped the world how it is today and the transition that led humans from animal-hunter to a knowledgeable-mosaic. In archaeology, Stone Age holds the key relevance. It establishes the patterns of human behavior and helps in identifying the transitions that hurled humans to the path of development.

As the global population and trade policies escalate, the pricing and supply chain of agricultural products are significantly impacted. The rising need for fresh crop produce and animal protein due to the rising standard of living has pressured the agriculture industry to increase production per hectare. Furthermore, shrinking agricultural lands and scarcity of availability of natural resources have raised the urgency to resolve this growing concern in the sector. To overcome the challenge of rising food production, the agriculture industry is turning towards technological modern farming solutions for introducing automation and precision in farming practices. Precision agriculture circles several emerging technologies such as guidance technologies, sensing technologies, analytics, and many more that have enabled data-driven farming.

The EPOS Adapt 660 wireless headset has active noise canceling to cut out surrounding noise. AI mics ... [ ] mean that when you use the headset to make phone calls, everything sounds much clearer than a regular headset. If I were to ask you to imagine a headset for making voice and video calls, I'm fairly confident you would think of something that looks like a pair of headphones with a microphone on a boom that sits in front of your mouth to pick up speech clearly. But if I were to ask you the same question in five years, I'd probably get a different answer. The reason for this is all down to progress being made thanks to AI or artificial intelligence.

Swedish shipping company Stena Line is expanding the reach of artificial intelligence (AI) as a fuel-efficiency and cost-saving tool within the transport group's shipping fleet. Initial pilot tests have produced promising results, indicating that AI/digital technologies have the potential to revolutionise how ships operate. AI-supported automation trials have delivered cost savings and ship operational efficiencies. Stena plans to expand the use of AI to cut fuel costs on its vessels, and digitisation to enhance productivity across the group. There is an appetite for this in the Nordic region.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Lu Qi, who oversaw Baidu Inc's (BIDU.O) shift to artificial intelligence (AI) after a damaging ad scandal in 2016, is stepping down as chief operating officer, China's biggest search engine said on Friday. Lu, a former Microsoft executive and AI expert who joined Baidu in late 2016, is currently responsible for day-to-day operations in its AI unit, which has become the company's core focus in the past year. He will remain vice chairman of Baidu and Vice President Wang Haifeng will now oversee the company's AI projects, Baidu said in a social media posting, adding Lu was stepping back for "personal and family reasons". Baidu's shares tumbled in New York on the news, ending 9.5 percent down on Friday. Lu is viewed as a top figure in the global AI industry, and joined Baidu at a time when the company was rebuilding investor confidence after a medical scandal linked to its search business led to strict new regulations that gutted the firm's ad revenue.

A few years ago Samantha Zirkin and her husband took their two young children and travelled around the world, volunteering at orphanages, schools, and homes for abandoned or abused children. "I saw many children with the same sad story: dad gone, mother dead or dying after working under appalling conditions in a garment factory, no sanitation, no medical care," she recounts. "Some children had been so malnourished they could not stand on their own two legs. I decided to delve into the retail world to learn about the supply chain and workers' rights. And I wanted to know if people would pay $70 instead of $50 for an item they knew had been produced under fair conditions."

It takes technology that enables transparency, purpose led role models like CVS Pharmacy, and a good mix of artificial intelligence and common sense.
