To successfully move from the nascent stages of AI into full business value realization, we believe organizations should focus on three key areas: AI strategy, governance and ethics. Addressing gaps in these areas can place AI on a sustainable path to delivering desired results. In addition to focusing on measurable business value, an effective AI strategy should be geared around solving a human problem and factor in the right combination of machines and human talent – from devel- opment and deployment, through usage. Businesses need to engage teams in defining standards, best practices and investment strategies to get the most value from AI. The governance model should ensure that AI-led decisions are reached in a transparent and auditable way while obviating the influence of biases (unintended or otherwise) that may creep into the fabric of AI designs.

As you scroll through a website--say, TheAtlantic.com--you're Your eyes dart from headline to headline, bypassing a few before choosing which to read. Your brow furrows at one article. Your face flushes in anger when you watch a charged video on an issue important to you. Usually, all these physical cues go nowhere other than the reflection of your computer screen.

Bowery Farms grows hydroponic crops out of a warehouse in Kearny, New Jersey, using LED lights. Co-founder Irving Fain says productivity far exceeds that of traditional farming. At a warehouse in New Jersey, beds of hydroponically grown greens sit under grow lights, eventually bound for high-end restaurants and grocery stores in New York City and surrounding areas. Bowery Farms is one of several indoor farming startups aiming to reinvent agriculture using new technology, from highly efficient lights to plant-monitoring software. How is Bowery Farms different from traditional agriculture?

It sounds like an idea for a science fiction film, but here in the UK scientists and engineers are spending time and money to see if they can do exactly that. British warplanes are already flying with parts made from a 3D printer. Researchers are already using that same technology to build drones. The military advantage is obvious - building equipment quickly and close to the battlefield - without long waits and long supply chains - gives you an enormous advantage over any enemy. But the latest innovation being developed by Prof Lee Cronin at Glasgow University takes 3D printing to another level.
