Not every upgrade noticeably enhances gaming fun, but some hardware improvements deliver immediate impact and stay impressive over time. Peripherals and accessories can unlock more potential than you might expect. In this article, we'll highlight the components that turn a solid PC into a noticeably better gaming system, whether you're into shooters, MMOs, or story-driven games. A programmable mechanical keyboard is one of the first underestimated devices.

Millions of people, many of whom have never thought much about computer science, are experimenting with generative AI models such as the eminently conversational ChatGPT and creative image generator DALL-E. While these products reflect less of a technological breakthrough than AI's emergence into the public consciousness, the traction they have found is guiding massive investment streams--investment shaping how this technology will be applied for years to come. For those of us who have long been bullish on AI's potential to transform society, especially in key areas such as health and medicine, recent months have felt very much like science fiction has come to life. However, as delightful as it is to explore these capabilities--GPT-4 for example exceeded the passing score by 20 points on the U.S. medical licensing exam--the results of doing so mainly serve to highlight their shortcomings. The ability to read, retain and regurgitate all such data on demand makes today's AI good at everything--but great at nothing.

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to demonstrate its worth, innovating operations and optimizing workloads for organizations across all industries. As more industries look to harness the power of AI, we must be extra sensitive to the data we are using to train this technology. If we aren't, we risk backsliding against all the progress society has made in recent times in relation to intrinsic bias against Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). Businesses are using AI to venture into previously unexplored territory. Human-in-the-loop data training can take you a long way, but what about the cases in which we have no previous data?

January 31, 2020 – Zenzium, Ltd., announced today its participation in a groundbreaking trial in Greater Manchester which is to test cutting edge wearable technology in combination with Artificial Intelligence (AI) for patients who have received cancer treatment. Called, EMBRaCE, (Enhanced Monitoring for Better Recovery and Cancer Experience), the trial is a collaboration between Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, The University of Manchester, Aptus Clinical and Zenzium, Ltd. The trial has opened initially for blood cancer, lung, and colorectal cancer patients and will run across Greater Manchester. Using commercially available health sensors and devices in combination with AI could reveal digital fingerprints associated with vital signs and other clinical data that could allow doctors to assess the progress of their patients and potentially improve patient outcomes. The technologies under investigation include: • a smart ring, worn on any finger made by Oura Health • the Withings ScanWatch, a hybrid smartwatch • the Isansys system, which is worn on the chest • AI capabilities developed and provided by Zenzium The technologies can assess a range of vital signs, including electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate, temperature, physical activity levels and sleep.

Although data engineers and data scientists have overlapping skill sets, they fulfill different roles within the fields of big data and AI system development. Data scientists develop analytical models, while data engineers deploy those models in production. As such, data scientists focus primarily on analytics, and data engineers focus more heavily on programming. To launch your data career, you'll need both theoretical knowledge and applied skills. Bootcamp programs like Springboard's Data Science Career Track and Data Engineering Career Track can help make you job-ready through hands-on, project-based learning and one-on-one mentorship.

Doctors could get a head start treating cancer thanks to new artificial intelligence (AI) developed at the University of Surrey that is able to predict symptoms and their severity throughout the course of a patient's treatment. In what is believed to be the first study of its kind, published in the PLO One journal, researchers from the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP) at the University of Surrey reported their findings. They wrote how they created two machine learning models that are both able to accurately predict the severity of three common symptoms faced by cancer patients – depression, anxiety and sleep disturbance. All three symptoms are associated with severe reduction in cancer patients' quality of life. "These exciting results show that there is an opportunity for machine learning techniques to make a real difference in the lives of people living with cancer."

Artificial Intelligence, it seems, is now everywhere. Text translation, speech recognition, book recommendations, even your spam filter is now "artificially intelligent." But just what do scientists mean with "artificial intelligence," and what is artificial about it? Artificial intelligence is a term that was coined in the 1980s, and today's research on the topic has many facets. But most of the applications we now see are calculations done with neural networks.

Automation is good for business. It means delegating manual, mundane administrative tasks that suck up valuable hours to software or machines, freeing up time for human employees to focus on more complex, challenging, and creative work. Its benefits are twofold–better working conditions and employee engagement, as well as improving the bottom line by cutting costs. Think of it as the modern-day equivalent of the cotton gin. Before the invention of the cotton gin, people had to separate the cotton from their seeds by hand manually.

Data is all over the place. The measure of digital data that at present exists is currently rising at a quick pace. The number is multiplying at regular intervals and it is totally changing the existence of humanity. According to a paper from IBM, around 2.5 billion gigabytes of data had been created daily in the year 2012. Another article from Forbes advises us that information is developing at a pace which is speedier than at any other time. A similar article recommends that by the year 2020, around 1.7 billion of new data will be produced every second for all the human beings on this planet.

I'm currently implementing an A3C agent in Tensorflow (Asynchronous Advantage Actor Critic) that plays doom (using vizdoom) and I was thinking about if there is a difference between using CNNs or Capsnets (Capsule Networks), Recently there was a big breakthrough in computer vision with these Capsnets. I know that Capsnets, instead of Convnets, handle the spatial relationship of the features and detecting rotated objects. As a consequence, I wondered if there is an advantage to use Capsnets in a Deep Reinforcement Learning agent?
