Last week we took a look at how AI can help alleviate the stress of travelling with companies such as Skyscanner, Airbnb and Trivago there to help. Planning your travel and accommodation is step one, but there’s so much more prep that always gets left to the last minute. When was the last time you got your suitcase out to pack and realised not only did you have no holiday appropriate clothes, but you also didn’t have your music library sorted for that long journey and those lazy mornings by the pool, and what about entertaining the kids? Should have started thinking about movies for them last week.

Who doesn’t love a summer holiday? Whether it’s a staycation, or you’re packing up the whole family to jet off for some summer sun, it’s something we look forward to all year. Until you remember that it’s actually a bit of a logistical nightmare.
Where are you going? Have you booked? How are you going to get there? Got some music to listen to on the way? Summer wardrobe ready? Got the camera ready to go?

There are an increasing number of female entrepreneurs in technology with CEO’s and COO’s like Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook, and Susan Wojcicki of Youtube leading the way, but it isn’t enough to break the stereotype of a male dominance in the industry. In the UK fewer than 10% of computing engineers are women, and there are over 13,000 more male than female students in computer science.
But why does it matter?

You’ve shot some brilliant footage, it’s been edited together to really show off your company, and now all that’s missing is the music. You know what you’re after - something that sounds like Bonobo for that product demo, and a track along the lines of Daft Punk for your trailer. Problem is, you don’t want to pay the extortionate royalties. There’s only so much scouring the internet you can do for royalty free tracks before you realise that they’re all pretty low quality.
Jukedeck, a London based startup, are working to overcome this problem and have built a machine learning driven product that can compose professional-standard music to give companies (and individuals) personalised music that’s ‘dynamically shaped to their needs’.

Last week at the Machine Intelligence Summit in Amsterdam, the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute ran a hands on workshop for developers, data scientists, and engineers designed to help attendees get started with training, optimising, and deploying neural networks to solve real-world problems across diverse industries such as self-driving cars, healthcare, online services, and robotics. I sat in on the session to learn more...

We are excited to announce the attendance of the ‘world leader in artificial intelligence research and its application for positive impact’, Google DeepMind. Back in 2010 some of the most successful technology minds in the world founded DeepMind which was then acquired by Google in 2014. At the Deep Learning Summit, both Irina Higgins and Jörg Bornschein, Research Scientists from DeepMind will be presenting their current work and the most current cutting-edge progressions in deep learning.

‘We hear about self-drive cars all the time, but you know what’s really cool, autonomy for aircraft!’ Electric aircrafts that are currently in circulation have ‘a fantastic property in that they’re quieter than helicopters, but can still land in the same space’. These electric machines, however, they still require a pilot, ‘so what do we do? We make them autonomous.’ Human error is the biggest cause of aviation accidents, so Airbus concluded that ‘electrically operated aerial vehicles combined with more autonomous features are far safer’ than human operated planes.
‘Whilst drones are reaching higher levels of autonomy than aircrafts, they aren’t built to the same autonomy as personal aircrafts. Occasionally drones fall out of the sky - reliability and safety levels are far below what would be considered acceptable for human transport.’

AI is a consistent point of discussion both in the news and amongst academics and businesses, but what is the ratio of hype to real progress? Billions of dollars are currently being invested in AI and these technologies are progressing faster than ever with self-driving cars, virtual assistants, and robots becoming part of our everyday lives. We heard from some of the leading minds in Machine Intelligence in Amsterdam today who revealed some key progressions in their research. What did we learn, and what did you miss today?
See what Google, DFKI, Scyfer and more had to say.

As a society, we are increasingly focused on health and wellbeing with influences from the media and influencial professions ever present. This has prompted a huge rise in wearable technologies as a method of keeping track of elements such as activity level and calorie intake. With their built in reminders and personalised features, products such as the Apple Watch, FitBit, and Garmin have opened a new market for technology and fitness.
Fitness apps compatible with the hardware are ever popular, and seemingly being rolled out in abundance. But what makes these fitness products stand out? And how are you supposed to stick to your chosen platform once you’ve signed up?
