Machine learning is the 'new normal'
We are surrounded by machine learning, it is "under the hood" of systems we use everyday, says Olivier Klein, head of emerging technologies for Asia Pacific at Amazon Web Services. These systems can range in the spam filter for emails, to the facial recognition systems used at airports. "Cloud is normal, machine learning is the new normal," says Klein. Klein says machine learning helps organisations create new and seamless experiences for customers, or citizens, in the case of government agencies. This can be through the use of a natural interface such as voice or facial recognition to create a frictionless experience for users.

Amazon building mobile drone stations, suggests patent
Amazon believes drones are the future of parcel deliveries. But before the company can roll out drone deliveries on a large-scale, it has some major technical challenges to overcome. A key problem is how to keep drones in the air for a long as possible, while keeping them maintained and fully charged. A new patent by Amazon claims to provide a solution; a mobile fleet of drones workstations based on boats, vans and trains. These workstations could repair drones while they are being sent - along with their packages - to areas of high demand.
Amazon's delivery drones could soon live in giant hives
While you might expect a hive to be full of bees, a new patent filed by Amazon suggests that giant versions of the structures could soon be used to house drones. A patent published today shows a nine-story hive with space for hundreds of drones. While Amazon has not said when, or if, it plans to create the hives, the patent suggests that they could be used in'downtown districts' or'urban areas' where there is little space to build outwards. While you might expect a hive to be full of bees, a new patent filed by Amazon suggests that giant versions of the structures could soon be used to house drones. The hive is designed to accomodate landing and takeoff of unmanned aerial vehicles in urban settings.
