Experts thought that Artificial Intelligence (AI) would first automate the menial tasks. For eight straight years, Elon Musk has promised full self-driving capabilities in his Tesla cars. There has been significant progress towards this goal, mostly by companies other than Tesla. But sipping chai as an autopilot drives us from Marina Beach to Mylapore is still a future too far away. We may have made terrific -- or terrifying, depending on how you see it -- progress on another front.

The emerging trends in artificial intelligence (AI) and the scope they have for research and employment opportunities were discussed at an international conference titled "Recent Advancement in Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing" held at the Methodist College of Engineering and Technology. The inaugural session was presided over by Osmania University Vice-Chancellor D. Ravinder, who spoke about the significance of AI, drones and robots in future, while addressing the delegates, faculty and students present. He also inaugurated three specialised computing facilities, including the Innovation Hub and Centre of Excellence for Artificial Intelligence at the college on the occasion. OU dean (faculty of Informatics) P.V.Sudha, who attended as guest of honour, rolled out internship opportunities for students and FDPs for faculty offered by the Center of Excellence (AI & ML) at Osmania University. Eminent global research experts Saraju Mohanty (University of North Texas professor), A.H.Abdul Hafez (Hasan Kalyancu University-Turkey professor) and Atul Negi (University of Hyderabad professor) presented keynote sessions virtually on the conference theme.

Here is what is streaming on Netflix in October of 2018, including "Empire Records," the second season of "Big Mouth" and "Making a Murderer: Part 2" USA TODAY Netflix eats up 15% of the global internet's bandwidth capacity by streaming video to over 125 million users. Netflix knows it has a grip on viewers: The average subscriber streamed 50 minutes of Netflix a day last year, according to a CNBC report, and CEO Reed Hastings admits he wants to keep you watching. "You know, think about it, when you watch a show from Netflix and you get addicted to it, you stay up late at night," Hastings said in an earnings call last year, per Recode. Now, a Netflix superuser in India who watched more than seven hours a day has admitted he needs help, the Hindu reported. The unidentified 26-year-old checked into the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences in Bangalore last week after using Netflix to escape the reality of his unemployment for six months, according to the newspaper.
