A famous detail in the Battle of Hastings is based on a major misunderstanding. The Battle of Hastings is famously recounted across the Bayeux Tapestry. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. One of history's most famous military marches has been misunderstood for centuries. According to the prevailing English accounts, King Harold made a momentous, 200-mile march over land to the Battle of Hastings in 1066 CE after dismissing his naval fleet.

The activity around creating a legit graphics processor for RISC-V chip designs, an emerging competitor to x86 and ARM, is gaining steam. Special interest groups at RISC-V next year will expand the focus on extensions for shaders and advanced matrix operations, which is important for artificial intelligence and machine learning, Mark Himelstein, chief technology officer at RISC-V, told The Register. RISC-V International, which developed the instruction set architecture, has interest groups develop extensions that users can add to their chip designs. In 2021, 16 RISC-V extensions were ratified, Himelstein said, and that number will grow next year. Many new extensions were part of mainstream computing chips announced this year at the RISC-V Summit.

Artificial intelligence is a term that comes from the ability of computer systems to be able to process things and arrive at decisions without human intervention. Scientists and Engineers have been working on Artificial intelligence for a better part of the last decade trying to build algorithms and logic that would allow artificial intelligence to grow and make decisions. The studies by ancient philosophers such as Aristotle have provided logics that have been great at producing human-like results. The discovery of logic is attributed to Aristotle in his work, the Oreganon. He explained a set of premises that can be used to arrive at conclusions.

With roughly the same population as the State of Missouri, Lebanon is a small country of six million people that borders Syria and Israel. Due to its location, the country has been subjected to a multitude of political and religious factions inhabiting the state. People frequently fight over whose invisible friend is better, and the country has faced long periods of instability including wars with Israel, civil wars and internal conflicts, and most recently some spillover from the Syrian war – which means lots of Syrians flying around on motorcycles. All of this turmoil has contributed to structural problems in the economy such as chronic fiscal deficits that have increased Lebanon's debt-to-GDP ratio to the third highest in the world. Economic growth has slowed to 1-2% over the past decade which constrains government investments in necessary infrastructure improvements. Notwithstanding these challenges, day to day life in Lebanon is pretty awesome.

Think of AI and you'll almost invariably be thinking of a cloud-based compute system where queries are captured at source and sent to the cloud for processing, after which the result of that processing is sent back to the source. But there's a different side to AI that's starting to gain more exposure, localised embedded AI. There's been a lot of talk over the past year about neural processors, especially in the smartphone arena, and we should only expect the buzz around these embedded AI platforms to increase. So what are we expecting these embedded AI systems to do, and how will they differ from the far more powerful cloud-based systems? We sat down with David Harold, VP marketing and communications Imagination Technologies, while at CES to talk embedded AI and the impact it will have on the coming years.

We're only a few months into 2017 and cyber attacks seem to be hitting the headlines even more regularly than last year. In the same week, it was announced that cyber breaches have cost UK companies £42m since 2013. The week before that, it was revealed that Chinese hackers had been carrying out sustained cyber attacks for three years across the globe. As a result of this boom in cyber crime, startups and companies across the world are harnessing new ways to handle the sophisticated attacks and spending is thought to be around $106.1bn in 2017, according to research by IDC. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are just two types of technology that are fighting cyber breaches on the front line.

April 1, 2016 – Boston, MA – Cloud-based computing and artificial intelligence represent the future of content creation, distribution, public relations, and marketing. SHIFT Communications, the premiere data-driven PR agency, announced today the release of the Heuristic And Recurrent Ontological Lexicon Deep-learner, or HAROLD, the world's first artificially intelligent (AI), cloud-based PR employee. HAROLD's creation represents the first AI employee of a virtual public relations workforce. HAROLD is based on the proven TensorFlow multidimensional data array artificial intelligence software, first developed by Google Brain, part of Google's Machine Intelligence division. SHIFT Vice President of Marketing Technology Christopher Penn said, "HAROLD provides SHIFT with limitless scale. Your standard PR team has 10-15 humans; with a cloud-based AI employee, we can create a million new'employees' in seconds. It would take your average account team several weeks to pitch a 5,000 person media list. HAROLD can replicate itself and call the whole media list simultaneously."
