AI knew Trump would win
Artificial intelligence systems can predict election results better than traditional pollsters, according to a report on em360tech.com.
Artificial intelligence systems predicted a win for Donald Trump, of the Republican Party, over Hillary Clinton, of the Democrats, in the US presidential elections held yesterday.
Most traditional opinion pollsters rely on directly asking people about their voting intentions and behaviour. [Read more…] about AI knew Trump would win

Exclusive: ‘The future of artificial intelligence is here’, says Infosys big data boss
By Abdul Razack, SVP and head of platforms, big data and analytics at Infosys
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the business and consumer landscape, but has it reached its full potential?
With the wide adoption of automation and machine learning among organisations, we’re closer than ever before. And in 2016, we will continue this momentum and see artificial intelligence redefine the future of work, deliver on the promise of big data, and even transform consumers’ lives.
Artificial intelligence will define the future of work
The pace at which large-scale organisations more widely adopt artificial intelligence to replace manual, repetitive tasks will rapidly increase. [Read more…] about Exclusive: ‘The future of artificial intelligence is here’, says Infosys big data boss
Billion dollar brain: Exclusive interview with Professor Alois Knoll
Professor Alois Knoll, co-ordinator of the European Clearing House for Open Robotics Development (Echord), and one of the key scientists involved in the $1.5 billion-dollar Human Brain Project, speaks exclusively to Robotics and Automation News
It’s not every day you learn a new word you like. From my point of view, having been in journalism longer than I’d like to recall, it’s an interesting experience to be reminded of an extract from a biography of Dr Samuel Johnson, “father of the English dictionary”, written by James Boswell in 1791, which I read in my teens.
Nothing specific from what I read applies here, but I’ll paraphrase a quote from Johnson which I think may be most appropriate. “A writer only begins an article. A reader finishes it.” [Read more…] about Billion dollar brain: Exclusive interview with Professor Alois Knoll
