Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: a video game that will whip film fans into a frenzy
It's the spring of 1977, and George Lucas is petrified. Having just wrapped work on his third feature film, Star Wars, he retreats to Hawaii, unable to face the early reviews. Yet as he frets in a five-star resort, Lucas bumps into another Hollywood hideaway – Steven Spielberg. The hero's moniker certainly benefited from some finessing, and the action-packed Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) raked in 354m at the box office. Yet as great as Indy's influence was on cinema, it might have had an even bigger one on video games.

AI not expected to lead to net job losses - study
A report from a Government advisory group has found that net job losses are not expected as a result of the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The Expert Group on Future Skills Needs said that many jobs will change as certain tasks are taken over by AI and that the technology has the potential to bring substantial productivity increases. It comes amid concerns that automation will lead to job displacement and unemployment as machines take over jobs once done by humans. Minister for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation Robert Troy has welcomed the publication of the report. It highlights the need for everyone, regardless of whether they work in tech or not, to have some level of knowledge and understanding of AI. "The report finds that AI is not likely to bring about a net loss of jobs, but it will replace certain tasks within many jobs over time," Mr Troy said.

Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation, Robert Troy TD, yesterday (Tuesday May 10) appointed Dr Patricia Scanlon to the role. The doctor will lead a national conversation on the role of AI in Irish lives, emphasising Ireland's commitment to an ethical approach in the use of the technology. Minister Robert Troy said, "Digitisation is transforming our lives and our economy and artificial intelligence will be at the forefront of this transformation. It is widely used in so many areas of everyday life from helping us choose what films we watch to how we book flights and so much more."
Ireland's first AI Ambassador is announced
The Government has appointed Ireland's first Artificial Intelligence Ambassador. Businesswoman Dr Patricia Scanlon is taking up the role and will be tasked with communicating with businesses, schools and institutions about the benefits and risks of AI.

There are ethical concerns about the technology when it comes to privacy, surveillance, bias and discrimination.

The main beneficiaries of artificial intelligence success are IT departments themselves
Artificial intelligence, seen as the cure-all for a plethora of enterprise shortfalls, from chatbots to better understanding customers to automating the flow of supply chains. However, it is delivering the most impressive results to information technology departments themselves, enhancing the performance of systems and making help desks more helpful. At the same time, there's a recognition that AI efforts -- and involvement -- need to expand beyond the walls of IT across all parts of the enterprise. This is one of the takeaways of a recent survey of 154 IT and business professionals at companies with at least one AI-related project in general production, conducted and published by ITPro, InformationWeek and Interop. Among those survey respondents with at least one AI application in general production, those with "excellent" and "very good" results comprise 64% of the group -- excellent results account for 23% of respondents and 41% report very good results.
MKAI Expert Forum Using Artificial Intelligence
In this session, we will be going through some of the fundamental methods that are used to tackle Natural Language Processing (NLP) problems. We will first be going through some NLP theory and then will walk through some code showing how a sentiment analysis model can be trained from scratch on a real-world IMDB movie review dataset.
