Former ISS commander Terry Virts joined'Fox & Friends' to discuss the significance of the mission as the American rocket heads to the moon for the first time in 50 years. NASA's retired Space Shuttle Endeavour was carefully hoisted late Monday to be mated to a huge external fuel tank and its two solid rocket boosters at a Los Angeles museum where it will be uniquely displayed as if it is about to blast off. A massive crane delicately began lifting the orbiter, which is 122 feet long and has a 78-foot wingspan, into the partially built Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center at the California Science Center in Exposition Park. The building will be completed around Endeavour before the display opens to the public. The 20-story-tall display stands atop an 1,800-ton concrete slab supported by six so-called base isolators to protect Endeavour from earthquakes.

I spent the best part of the 2010s working in new media, which – if you enjoyed being repeatedly laid off and then being inundated with jeering messages inveigling you to "learn to code" because your industry was doomed – was a great big laugh. Eventually, the fun began to wear off and in an act of subversive defiance (or cowardly resignation), I took their goading advice, learned to code and pivoted to what I'd hoped would be a far more secure career in "web development", only for recent advances in AI to supposedly render coding jobs a waste of time, too. It seems I have accidentally timed my career change to coincide with a mass rollout of AI chatbots that have also learned to code, and that are – in many respects – already far better at it than me. Code can appear alarming to the uninitiated: inscrutable "languages" that mostly read like a calculator having a stroke, but, according to AI's most fervent evangelists, they no longer need represent any barrier at all. Why bother wrapping your head around the needlessly convoluted nerdspeak required to display white text on a black background, when you can now simply ask a chatbot to do this in layperson's terms and it will promptly serve up your code, complete with instructions?

Dr. Dean Anthony Gratton is a technology influencer, analyst, and futurist. He has authored several books and many contentious columns dispelling the rumours, gossip and hype surrounding new technology. Dean has worked within the wireless and telecommunications R&D industry as a software engineer and a solution architect. He has developed new products and created architectures for the consumer and industry to include the IoT, Big Data and Industry 4.0 (IIoT); the Smart Home & Cities, and the Smart Metering sectors. His wireless research work has been patented.   We have an uncensored belief in something we have not entirely understood. Human-like Cognition in a Computer This is a sentiment gathered from many years working within an industry always eager to develop the next big thing. A certain excitement and momentum combine into some kind of whirlwind, where often concepts can be typically taken out of context and exaggerated. If I go back to the original conception of AI in 1955 at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, Dr John McCarthy and his team of research engineers, who originally conceived the term ‘artificial intelligence,’ have since been collectively recognised as the founding fathers of AI. Today, artificial intelligence is assistive technology, and it […]

Search for a description of knowledge management (KM) and you're likely to have a better chance of finding an agreed version of the best Avenger hero. Atlassian describes KM as "the process of creating, curating, sharing, using and managing knowledge across an organization, even across industries". Gartner takes a similar view, positing that "KM promotes a collaborative and integrative approach to the creation, capture, organization, access and use of information assets, including the tacit, uncaptured knowledge of people" – but there still remains no single, accepted definition. This positions KM as an esoteric discipline, but consensus suggests that when it is implemented effectively, KM is a collective endeavour; an organisational movement where technology intersects with the levers of people, process, tools and content. Of these parts, people are arguably the key to successfully embedding KM into an organisation.

My father was an accountant, and in 1965, he decided to explore the emerging field of information technology (IT). He joined an IBM training program and went to work selling their System 360 mainframe computers. That year's model would set you back $2-3 million, for which you got a room full of refrigerator-sized cabinets supporting a central processor with about a megabyte of memory. These machines were used by businesses to automate accounting, and for billing and tracking inventory. Looking back these tasks now seem simple, straightforward, even trivial, but at the time these capabilities were revolutionary, automating tasks that took people enormous amounts of time and effort. What does this reflection have to do with applying artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to healthcare?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been redefining society in ways we have never anticipated. Technology is clinging to us in every walk of our lives, right from unlocking our smartphones to our day-to-day activities, online shopping, intelligent car dashboards, autonomous robots and so on. Though the concept of AI was first talked about in the early 1950s, forming a basis for many computer learning and complex decision-making processes, it is only of late, where processing huge amounts of data is required, that this field of technology is picking up pace. What is in the AI basket? AI is not a technology, rather it is a science or field of study.

India is slowly yet steadily taking steps ahead to establish artificial intelligence in several domains. Where, NASSCOM President Debjani Ghosh had mentioned that, in order to make India realize its full AI potential, a coalition of government, industries, and startups are required to come up with the necessary infrastructure and policy support. This will aid in enabling AI innovation across various sectors thereby mentoring and providing financial backing to the startups. In addition, according to a report by Accenture, artificial intelligence is anticipated to add on $957 billion or 15% of India's present GDP value by the year 2035. The amalgamation of technology, information along with the possibility and ability to create intelligent systems has reached critical mass thereby navigating towards exceptional growth in AI investment.

Because of their unconventional capacity to astound, spellbind, and scaring simultaneously, AI and ML are innovations that ought to be on everybody's radar in 2021. While the Coronavirus pandemic affected numerous parts of how we work together, it didn't decrease the effect of artificial intelligence on our regular day to day existences. Truth be told, it is turning out to be clear that self-encouraging calculations and savvy machines will assume a significant part in the continuous fight against this pandemic just as others that we may look at later on. Every business ought to endeavour to offer an agreeable client experience. Fulfilling existing clients assists organizations with showcasing new items and administrations.

A fleet of six self-driving Ford Mondeos will be navigating the streets of Oxford in all hours and all weathers to test the abilities of driverless cars as part of a new trial. Technology firm Oxbotica, spun out of an Oxford University project, has retrofitted the vehicles which are following a nine-mile round trip within the city. A dozen cameras, three Lidar sensors, two radar sensors are used to put the car at'level 4 autonomy', meaning it can handle almost all situations itself. A person needs to be in the driving seat by law, but they won't be touching the steering wheel or pedals, the driverless car will be'taking them for a ride'. The Oxford trial is part of the UK government-backed £12.3 million Endeavour project, set up to try deploying a fleet of self-driving cars in several cities.

What AI is, and what it isn't. Since 2012, our Company has had a busy team of software engineers who are expert in both research and development of Artificial Intelligence, "AI", working to launch our AI workbench platform. Our researchers are led by a retired IBM Gold Consultant. Since 2013 a requirement of our researchers is that they have a PhD in a field related to AI. Our developers are highly competent senior developers.
