Network infrastructure and computing equipment will rely upon AI algorithms for decision making while at the device level AI will be built into electronics at the chipset level.

IoT networks and systems consist of a vast array of hardware, software and firmware elements including semiconductors and embedded devices, sensors, controllers, and gateways. Communication between end-nodes and IoT platforms depends upon wired and wireless networking based on LTE and emerging 5G networks as well as many non-cellular low power WAN methods. IoT infrastructure and platforms consist of hardware, software, and Application Programming Interfaces (API) with APIs acting as a key element providing access to IoT platforms for intra-network signaling/messaging as well as communications on an intersystem basis. IoT APIs also provide a means for provisioning and administration of IoT devices, data, and applications.

IoT hardware may be both physical and virtualized. IoT software may be both deterministic in terms of programming and outcomes as well as programmatic thanks to IoT APIs and communications platforms as a service (CPaaS). IoT APIs may be open, proprietary, and/or pre-built connectors for specific purposes. Taken together, IoT hardware, software and APIs provide the basis for IoT platforms, which consist of many different programs, algorithms, and operating systems.

Current IoT networks are largely deterministic in nature, relying upon autonomic systems making decisions based on predetermined rules that take action based upon the occurrence of specific events. The Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) will become increasingly important as the AIoT market evolves to allow IoT networks and systems to become more cognitive. The emerging AIoT market will enable systems to become increasingly more cognitive, making decisions based on context and experience.

It is important to recognize that intelligence within the IoT technology market is not inherent but rather must be carefully planned. AIoT market elements will be found embedded within software programs, chipsets, and platforms as well as human-facing devices such as appliances, which may rely upon a combination of local and cloud-based intelligence.

Just like the human nervous system, IoT networks will have both autonomic and cognitive functional components that provide intelligent control as well as nerve end-points that act like nerve endings for neural transport (detection and triggering of communications) and nerve channels that connect the overall system. The big difference is that the IoT technology market will benefit from engineering design in terms of AI and cognitive computing placement in both centralized and edge computing locations.

Optimising on-board systems with artificial intelligence – Superyacht News – The Superyacht Report

On day two of The Superyacht Forum, an interactive discussion on the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) took place. A panel consisting of designer Justin Olesinski, Bill Edwards, head of research and development at Olesinski, Mike Blake, president of Palladium Technologies and Joseph Adir, founder and CEO of WinterHaven, debated the application of the technologies in the superyacht industry.

Starting the discussion, Olesinski explained that his studio has invested both money and resources in researching and developing artificial intelligence, utilising the technology within to optimise its hull development processes. The number of people involved in a yacht build is increasing, and AI will help filter out the deadheads, but primarily it will help owners get boats quicker, he explained. The time to marketis condensed down, allowing us to expand our market.

Manyin the room admitted that they areinterested infinding out more about how the technology could help their businesses, but are unsure how to access it. In terms of how to build capability, we have been really successful in partnering up with universities, suggested Edwards. You can give them real problems to throw at their algorithms.

Adir confidently told the audiencethat AI is going to transform the way that superyachts are operated. The industry has the ability to integrate IoTs and sensors connected to smart control systems on board, so that operators can get a full picture of the asset, he said. AI and ML can then be used to process the data collected and learn the optimisation of the systems on board. It will reduce the total cost of ownership and, for shipyards, they can learn about the systems they are producing in a more in-depth way than ever before.

It is for the shipyards to pick up the glove and establish partnerships to lead us to a different future...

Adir pointed out, however, that the challenge is to get shipyards to put IoTs and sensors on systems so that data can be collected. If AI and ML can log shaft vibration, temperature and sound data from 20 to 30 yachts over a year, the system will be able to predict when the bearing on a shaft is about to fail its predictive analysis, he explained. But it is for the shipyards to pick up the glove and establish partnerships to lead us to a different future.

A shipyard representative in the room responded to Adir's suggestion, saying that thisis something they would like to do, but that it is the clients that are reluctantto innovate. It was argued, however, that it should be easy to convince clients to implement suchtechnology, with the reasoning that it increases their yacht's availability a preventative rather than reactionary solution that would mean less downtime for maintenance and repair.

Blakes vision for the use of AI and ML in the superyacht industry extends to the driving of yachts. AI systems will take over the driving, which captains only do a small percentage of the time anyway, he asserted. AI systems have an endless attention span and are suitable for repetitive tasks. Our owners have these technologies in their own businesses, so how long will it be until they want them on their yachts?

A number of conclusions were drawn from thediscussion as to what the industry should be doing in order totake advantage ofAI and ML technology going forward:

The superyacht inudstryneeds to start embracing AI and ML technologies, or risk being not being competitive;

Shipyards need to be looking to integrate sensors and IoTs on systems on board and use AI and ML to reduce warranty work by preventing system failures and reducing maintenance;

Companies wanting to look into AI and ML technologies and how it canhelpthem, should look to collaborate with universities.

Artificial intelligence: The rising star of education – Daily Sabah

We now know that technology continues to change our lives daily, and these changes have not only transformed the cornerstones of the economy and society but also our professions and education. For this reason, countries need to prepare for the future to keep pace with the changes and make radical transformations in teaching methods for young people, the locomotives of the future. The World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) in Qatar, which has been held for 10 years, has redefined the meaning of being human by making this transformation front and center this year.

The event focused on how to prepare children for educational and technological transformations and what needs to be done to ensure that the basic educational needs of children from all income levels and migrant camps in the region are met.

Under the theme "Unlearn Relearn: What it means to be human," the two main topics of this year's WISE event, held in Qatar's capital Doha on Nov. 19-21, were ensuring equality in education through technology and entrepreneurship.

It was not surprising to see technology firms, especially artificial intelligence experts, showing the most interest in the event, held in line with the demands of the 21st century with the participation of more than 3,000 experts and celebrities from around the world.

Mind over matter

While the event touched on issues regarding educational technology, speeches were made on how developments related to the mind, such as neuroscience, affected education and how methods of education changed based on personality and creativity. In one of the most noteworthy presentations in the three-day forum, Armenian President Armen Sargsyan, who is also a physicist, described the relationship between quantum physics and human development. "Our communications are moving at the speed of light. We now live in the quantum world. Startup culture and personal creativity will be very strengthened." Meanwhile, Max Tegmark, a Swedish-American cosmologist and the president of the U.S.-based Future of Life, also co-founded by Elon Musk, delivered a remarkable and exemplary speech on artificial intelligence.

How will children be happy?

Tegmark stressed the need to identify acceptable and unacceptable points in using artificial intelligence as soon as possible and asked regarding the issues of global justice and equality of education: "How will artificial intelligence affect the interests of the weak and powerful?" He emphasized that artificial intelligence could solve or create problems and suggested, "We should ask the students what they want to happen in the future instead of asking what will happen in the future." An important issue that Tegmark highlighted was how happy students would be in the digital world of the future. "In a world where artificial intelligence will reign, we need to make sure that students are learning the vital skills necessary for their happiness and development," Tegmark noted. He further told the students about the acceptable and beneficial aspects of artificial intelligence and said that the future would be brighter.

In many of WISE 2019's sessions, topics such as how technology will change education as well as the scale-up processes of ventures and startups that have contributed to education were also discussed. Speakers and participants, especially from Africa and Asia, talked about how they created miracles in areas where children's educational opportunities were limited by combining entrepreneurial spirit with technology.

Who wrote 'Henry VIII'?

Artificial intelligence has put an end to a discussion regarding British playwright William Shakespeare, one of the greatest names in literary history. Scholars know that part of Shakespeare's 1613 play "Henry VIII" was written by John Fletcher, but it was not possible to determine exactly which parts belonged to which author. Czech artificial intelligence expert Petr Plechac ran the works of Shakespeare, Fletcher and other contemporary writers through an algorithm to identify the differences in the authors' styles. Plechac then showed the algorithm "Henry VIII" and found the chapters Fletcher contributed to. The analysis revealed that Fletcher wrote plays for the acting company King's Men in 1616, of which Shakespeare was also a member.
