Artificial intelligence may soon affect more than half of all jobs in the UK, a new study from the IMF has warned. Across the world, 40 per cent of all occupations are likely to be affected by AI. But in advanced economies like the UK, the impact is expected to be even more pronounced, with 60 per cent of all workers feeling the impact. The IMF warns that, even where AI's effects are positive, computer automation is likely to drive wealth inequality. Highly paid professions will see AI boost their wages while lower paid roles are at a significant risk of pay cuts and lay-offs.

Summary: Things are getting repetitious and that can be boring. Still, looking at lessons from the 90s it's clear there are at least one or two decades of important economic advances that will based on our current AI/ML. Then some thoughts on where that next really huge breakthrough will come from that will return our initial excitement. Is it just me or do we seem to be doing the same things over and over again? If you've only been in the data science profession for say four or five years then everything no doubt still seems new and exciting.

The Pentagon is making a massive push to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence to ships, tanks, aircraft, drones, weapons and large networks as part of a sweeping strategy to more quickly harness and integrate the latest innovations. Many forms of AI are already well-underway with US military combat systems, yet new technologies and applications are emerging so quickly that Deputy Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan has directed the immediate creation of a new Joint Artificial Intelligence Center. "The Deputy Secretary of Defense directed the DoD Chief Information Officer to standup the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center in order to enable teams across DoD to swiftly deliver new AI-enabled capabilities and effectively experiment with new operating concepts in support of DoD's military missions and business functions." DoD spokeswoman Heather Babb told Warrior Maven. Pentagon officials intend for the new effort to connect otherwise disparate AI developments across the services.

The Virginia-class, nuclear-powered, fast-attack submarine, USS North Dakota (SSN 784), transits the Thames River as it pulls into its homeport on Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Conn - file photo. Bringing massive amounts of firepower closer to enemy targets, conducting clandestine "intel" missions in high threat waters and launching undersea attack and surveillance drones are all anticipated missions for the Navy's emerging Block V Virginia-class attack submarines. The boats, nine of which are now surging ahead through a new developmental deal between the Navy and General Dynamics Electric Boat, are reshaping submarine attack strategies and concepts of operations -- as rivals make gains challenging U.S. undersea dominance. Eight of the new 22-billion Block V deal are being engineered with a new 80-foot weapons sections in the boat, enabling the submarine to increase its attack missile capacity from 12 to 40 on-board Tomahawks. "Block V Virginias and Virginia Payload Module are a generational leap in submarine capability for the Navy," Program Executive Officer for Submarines Rear Adm. David Goggins, said in a Navy report.

Lucas Carlson is VP of strategy at Automic Software. Are you getting tired of hearing about artificial intelligence? It seems we must be reaching peak hype cycle around AI when almost every article written about it rehashes the same tropes around self-driving cars, the latest game that has been mastered by computers, or the next house appliance to get speech recognition. There is so much noise around AI that it's hard to find a signal. And the real work of AI is happening behind the scenes of mainstream press coverage.

Much of the anger and anxiety in the 2016 election is fueled by the sense that economic opportunity is slipping away for many Americans. This week, as part of NPR's collaborative project with member stations, A Nation Engaged, we're asking the question: What can be done to create economic opportunity for more Americans? When we talk about the economy, we spend a lot of time talking about jobs -- how to create more of them and how to replace the ones being lost.

Artificial intelligence taking jobs has been the topic of much debate on several levels. Financial markets have perhaps been most impacted by computer automation over the past decade, spawning tremendous efficiency. But computer automation and artificial intelligence intelligence taking jobs has also been an issue. Concerns for high paying job loss in the banking industry as well as other C Suite jobs have been expressed alongside low skill workers. At the Milken Institute Conference in Beverly Hills, CA a group of automated hedge fund leaders weighed in on the topic.
