CEO of Draganfly, considered the most established business drone organization on the planet, Cameron Chell previously caught wind of the little Canadian organization while prompting police divisions about rambles. Upon examination, he observed that Draganfly had been fabricating light, medium sized business drones since the last part of the '90s. It worked in the public wellbeing region and had a splendid history of advancement and execution. Around eight years prior, he shaped a venture bunch that purchased the organization. It has now developed into the business driving position that it has today.

You may think artists would be among the last to be replaced by robots. Well, this week an artwork generated by artificial intelligence will be auctioned for the first time, while a paint ing by a machine has won an international prize. The first, Portrait of Edmond de Belamy (2018), is a print depicting a ghostly image of a man that is valued at US$7,000 to US$10,000 in Christie's' prints and multiples sale on October 25 in New York. It was entirely the creation of an algorithm, the code of which was written by Parisian collective the Obvious artists, who identify themselves as the "publisher" of the painting. The other work is a sitting nude titled The Butcher's Son, a name chosen by Mario Klingemann.

With AI becoming incorporated into more aspects of our daily lives, from writing to driving, it's only natural that artists would also start to experiment with artificial intelligence. In fact, Christie's will be selling its first piece of AI art later this month – a blurred face titled "Portrait of Edmond Belamy." The piece being sold at Christie's is part of a new wave of AI art created via machine learning. Paris-based artists Hugo Caselles-Dupré, Pierre Fautrel and Gauthier Vernier fed thousands of portraits into an algorithm, "teaching" it the aesthetics of past examples of portraiture. The algorithm then created "Portrait of Edmond Belamy."

Omer Artun is founder and CEO of AgilOne, the B2C customer data platform. He also has a deep background in the academic foundations of AI: specifically, a doctorate in physics and computational neuroscience from Brown University. He's also author of an alead-of-the-game look at predictive marketing, published by Wiley in 2015. Who better to lay out for us the ways AI and machine learning can be applied in the worlds of marketing and commerce? "I have a PhD in machine learning from back in the old days," Artun told me.

Two friends have cracked the facial recognition on the £999 ($999) iPhone X after discovering it accepted both their faces. Joe Clayton, 23, was shocked when best friend Brad Butcher, 22, unlocked Apple's most expensive phone just by looking at it, beating one in a million odds. The construction site manager had set up the gadget so only his face appearing in front of the camera would unlock the screen. But the phone will also give Mr Butcher access - allowing him to make contactless payments, send messages and make calls - despite Apple claiming the chances of a mix up are one in a million. Two friends have cracked the facial recognition on the £999 ($999) iPhone X after discovering it accepted both their faces.

A light blinks on the black box alerting the gymnast to begin her routine. She launches off the vault, lands and turns to salute the robotic judge. Her score is already flashing on the big screen to the Olympics crowd and to millions of viewers at home, who have followed the live scoring as the move is dissected in real time. This is not a scene from Blade Runner 2049, but a possible vision of gymnastics future as it races to include artificial intelligence in its judging system. The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) is planning to introduce the AI technology to assist with scoring at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games (as long as the IOC partner's for timekeeping and results approves, the plan is good to go).

Your meat may soon be prepared by a robot butcher. Sadly, it won't be an android in a striped apron behind the meat counter at your local store, asking you in a metallic voice how you'd like your steak cut today, sir/ma'am? These robots will replace workers at meat-packing factories, and not a moment too soon. The meat-packing company JBS is part of the world's largest beef processor, and in its Greeley, Colorado plant, it is experimenting with robots on the production line. In order to automate the processing of the meat, JBS has invested in a New Zealand robot company called Scott Technology.

As applications become smarter and more adaptive, user experience is about to undergo a massive change, one that will make the way we interact with our computers and devices a lot more natural. For IBM, whose Watson cognitive computing platform powers a variety of applications, the goal is to turn human-computer interaction into a conversation that's similar to one between two people. "I would say a sentence and Watson would understand not just what I'm saying but what's the intention of what I'm saying," says Melanie Butcher, the program director of the Commerce UX Design Studio at IBM. She's helping to develop products that could allow a marketer to plan and execute an entire campaign through a conversation with a Watson-powered software assistant. But this isn't just a vision of a Star Trek computer that understands questions and voice commands based on context; it's one that also allows for applications that feed information gathered from the user's behaviour back into the app to help guide the user through its functions. "If somebody is in a screen and they're kind of clicking around and they click on help and they search for something but they close it right away, it's clear that they're a little frustrated," she says. The application could then use that information to offer help based on what the user was searching for and what they were trying to do before they got frustrated.
