Participating in intermittent (time-restricted) fasting could lead to a reduced risk of cognitive deterioration, a recent study published in the journal Cell Metabolism suggests. Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine adjusted the feeding schedule of certain groups of mice so that they only ate within six-hour windows each day.

It is an acknowledged fact that data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are pivotal levers of digital transformation, which can boost the competitiveness of businesses. But in what is an emerging trend, data and AI now have a new stakeholder in the organisation - the CEO. The cloud makes it possible for enterprises to scale and embed a data-driven approach into every business process. As a result, AI can enable the kind of value generation that CEOs are interested in – not incremental but transformative value. Besides the proven business benefits of a data-driven approach, there is one more dimension that is crucial to the CEO agenda. Responsible business is taking centre stage in board rooms and the need to mitigate risks for clients, employees and society is a top priority.

GCHQ's director has said artificial intelligence software could have a profound impact on the way it operates, from spotting otherwise missed clues to thwart terror plots to better identifying the sources of fake news and computer viruses. Jeremy Fleming's remarks came as the spy agency prepared to publish a rare paper on Thursday defending its use of machine-learning technology to placate critics concerned about its bulk surveillance activities. "AI, like so many technologies, offers great promise for society, prosperity and security. Its impact on GCHQ is equally profound," he said. "While this unprecedented technological evolution comes with great opportunity, it also poses significant ethical challenges for all of society, including GCHQ." AI is considered controversial because it relies on computer algorithms to make decisions based on patterns found in data.

Investors and workers in the ever -expanding local business process outsourcing (BPO) sector are being warned about the dangers of the evolving development of artificial intelligence (AI) within the scientific community and the effects it can have on the industry. According to Science, Energy and Technology Minister Dr Andrew Wheatley who was speaking at last week's inaugural Symposium and Exposition in Montego Bay, St James, the direction of the continued innovation within the technological sector towards AI will have profound effects on the BPO sector. "Some persons may interpret it as being troubling developments, but I want for us to look at it more from the perspective that it provides an opportunity for us to be more innovative," said Wheatley. "These developments, I am sure, will have profound effects on our way of life, on our way of doing business, on our way of interacting with each other. It will also have profound effects on the BPO sector. In fact, it has already started."

"There is a high level of awareness of ride-hailing worldwide." The popularity of ride-hailing continues to increase. On-demand, ride-hailing services have grown sharply this decade, and more studies point their potential to reshape transportation and produce numerous public benefits, including declining energy consumption, less pollution, increased transportation access for the elderly and disabled, and reduced congestion. "There is a high level of awareness of ride-hailing worldwide," Alexandre Marian of AlixPartners told The Fuse. One consequence of ride-hailing's popularity is it has led some consumers to delay or avoid buying their own personal vehicle. A recently released study from AlixPartners shows that in the U.S., slightly more than 20 percent of ride-hailing users say they have delayed or avoided buying their own car due to the availability of services such as Lyft and Uber.

We all like to think we have it, but is it all just an illusion? It might seem like a very existential question but it plays an important part in our acceptance of new technologies, especially when it comes to robots. Even if we personally aren't in control of something, we often like to comfort ourselves that someone else is. Humans have free will and empathy and we trust that we will make the'right' choice should something bad happen. Simon Watson of the University of Manchester says maybe it's time for society to see through the illusion and make the practical decision – relinquish control and let the machines and the robots do what they're designed to do.

A new report by Tata Consultancy Services has shown just how profound of an effect artificial intelligence already has, and will have, on businesses everywhere. The "Getting Smarter by the Day: How AI is Elevating the Performance of Global Companies" study says 84 per cent of companies worldwide see AI as'essential' to being competitive. Another half (50 per cent) see the technology as'transformative'. Two thirds (67 per cent) of IT departments are adopting AI, mostly to detect security intrusions and deliver automation. This has made them the biggest adopters of AI today.
