We adopted a Delphi method, which is commonly used when the problem under analysis can benefit from collective and subjective judgments or decisions and when group dynamics do not allow for effective communication (for example, time differences, distance).14 Three of the authors, in weekly meetings, iteratively analyzed the extracted data, resolved ambiguity, and converged onto the final abstraction shown in Table 1. Based on a final data analysis, we made three key observations.

Google Cloud Platform plans to invest in customer experience, globally. It will open a number of offices, expand its customer success operations and a training lab, as well as launch a professional services group to get users on their way with Google AI and Vertex AI machine learning platforms. The company's latest efforts include an AI focus, said John Jester, Google Cloud vice president of customer experience, because it's at the core of many new products, businesses and experiences users have built in the cloud. "We [aspire] to train 40 million people on Google Cloud," Jester said. "Every customer conversation I have, every partner conversation I have comes back to there just aren't enough cloud experts on the planet to support this massive wave of migration and adoption."

When the first human explorers head for Mars, they're likely to have a non-human judging their performance and tweaking their interpersonal relationships when necessary. NASA and outside researchers are already working on artificial intelligence agents to monitor how future long-duration space crews interact, sort of like the holographic doctor on "Star Trek: Voyager." But there'll also be a need for the human touch -- in the form of crew members who could serve the roles of social directors or easygoing jokesters. That's the upshot of research initiatives discussed over the weekend here at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Using AI to assess astronauts' mental state is the focus of a NASA program known as Human Capabilities Assessments for Autonomous Missions, or H-CAAM, said Tom Williams, a researcher at NASA's Johnson Space Center who concentrates on human factors and performance for the space agency's Human Research Program.

It allows participants from diverse backgrounds to gain access to ideas, talent, and technology to explore what works and what doesn't in data analytics.

The Web app, which is powered partly by artificial intelligence, analyzes posts on social media as well as police radio chatter and feeds of the local airspace in virtually any region. The software, which is linked to IBM's Watson artificial intelligence, combs through tweets and images, specific hashtags and phrases, or posts from or about a particular geographic area and then uses computer algorithms to gauge the mood of that swirling digital conversation. The AI aspects of the iAWACS app only monitor the social media posts -- they don't analyze the audio from police scanners nor from the airspace maps. The result, which the Jester said was still a work in progress, was built from the ground up for law enforcement and intelligence officials with real-time information needs.

As the country reels from the spasm of gun violence that killed two black men and five officers this week, a prominent digital vigilante is using an online tool he hacked together to keep an eye on hot spots that seem at risk of boiling over into bloodshed. The Web app, which is powered partly by artificial intelligence, analyzes posts on social media as well as police radio chatter and feeds of the local airspace in virtually any region. To detect rumblings of unrest and alert the public. On a recent night, the tool had its gaze trained on Baton Rouge, La., where protesters backed by the New Black Panther Party gathered for a rally. "I'm looking for any indication they are coordinating skirmishes. Using IBM's Watson AI, the tool not only examines large collections of tweets but -- somewhat eerily -- also can go through a single user's timeline and, with Watson's machine learning technology, offer an analysis of that user's "trustworthiness, propensity toward violence [and] openness," the Jester said. That information, he said, could hold clues to a criminal's intentions. If the Jester's name sounds familiar, that's because the hacker has appeared elsewhere -- on Time's list of most influential internet personalities, on CNN and, according to a recent blog post, on an upcoming episode of USA's "Mr.

This week on the premiere of Mr. Robot, the hacktivist collective fsociety made good on its threat to bring down the evil E Corp. With a few strokes of the keyboard, a USB stick and a little social engineering, the anarchists infected the corporate giant's banking division with ransomware, locking up thousands of files and closing it for business. As the character Darlene prepared her malicious code, real hackers watching no doubt chuckled at the familiar words on her screen: "Hack the Gibson…and remember…hugs are worth more than handshakes." Like so much about the hacking on Mr. Robot, that detail was for them. When these episodes air, I don't watch the episodes, I keep my eye on Reddit and Twitter and see what people are saying about it.
