Consider a scenario where a potential customer is looking to get an insurance policy quote on a website at 1 a.m. He is confused about which plan is suitable for his family and just then a chatbot pops up on his screen and asks, "Hey, may I help you?". It, subsequently, has a conversation with the prospect using natural language and helps him shortlist plans based on his inputs keeping the customer engaged all the way through to sale. Over the past few years, several insurance companies in India have rolled out AI-enabled chatbots. Bajaj Allianz General Insurance, ICICI Lombard General Insurance, Birla Sun Life Insurance, PNB MetLife India Insurance and HDFC Standard Life Insurance etc. are using bots for either customer support or sales. Most of these bots work on NLP (Natural Language Processing) and keep learning as they interact with more customers.

Credit: UCLA Engineering Institute for Technology Advancement Many biosensing applications rely on characterization of specific analytes such as proteins, viruses and bacteria, among many other targets, which can be accomplished by using micro- or nano-scale particles. In such biosensors, these particles are coated with a surface chemistry that makes them stick to the target analyte forming clusters in response. The higher the target analyte concentration is, the larger the number of clusters gets. Therefore, monitoring and characterizing these particle clusters can tell us if the target analyte is present in a sample and in what concentration. Current methods to perform such an analysis are limited in that they are either capable of only a coarse readout or rely on expensive and bulky microscopes, which limit their applicability to address different biosensing needs, especially in resource limited environments.

"Data will talk to you, if you're willing to listen to it" says a wise quote by Jim Bergeson. Thanks to the Internet, social media and increased use of affordable smart devices, there is a vast amount of data and it continues to pile on! This data has given rise to a new age technology that has now become a jargon in industries – Artificial Intelligence. Artificial intelligence, with the aid of machine learning, has the power to study and interpret this data, which is revolutionizing the way of functioning of industries, and has also given birth to two words almost all companies want to associate themselves with – 'Digital Transformation'. So, what exactly can companies do with Artificial Intelligence and how can they leverage it into their businesses in 2019?

This year in self-driving car news started with Mayor Bill Peduto hoping for a better relationship with Uber and ended with policy recommendations from Carnegie Mellon University students on using autonomous vehicles to improve access to public transit. In between, the city's self-driving scene grew by two. Ford invested $1 billion into Pittsburgh self-driving startup Argo AI and Aurora Innovation launched, bringing the number of autonomous vehicle testers in the city up to five -- Aptiv (formerly Delphi), Argo AI, Aurora Innovation, CMU and Uber. But there's still a way to go before we're all multitasking as our cars drive themselves. For one thing, laws need to be created. And the technology needs to get there, too.
