Topic Tags | artificial intelligence, Google, marketing, threat, YouTube
Summary | Google has been using artificial intelligence to weed out offensive videos from YouTube and take them down. It is quite good at detecting nudity, graphic violence, and copyright violations. However, other less straightforward offensive material remains on the platform such as cultish sermons by extremist muslims. These are however not being monetized by displaying advertising next to them.

Summary | British entrepreneurs and investors are doing good; the app Swiftkey was created by three Cambridge graduates and attracted the attention of Silicon Valley.
The Cambridge graduates founded Swiftkey, an app that uses artificial intelligence to predict the next word you can type. Nevertheless, Swiftkey is not the first UK company to be successful; Amazon was the first one. The reason why Britain is so strong in this competitive area might be because of the locations of the startups (e.g. Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College and University College London)

Topic Tags | artificial intelligence
Summary | We've been using graphical user interfaces on our computers for years now. Thanks to pointers and buttons, we can navigate the devices we own. In the future, we might only have to talk to our computer to get something done. Thanks to major advances in artificial intelligence, our computers are able to recognize our voice and interpret speech. The difficulty has been to create a software capable of answering us, but we're headed in that direction (e.g. Siri, Cortana, Echo, etc.).

Summary | Chatbots are taking over the world. On Facebook Messenger for instance, you can ask a shopping concierge bot what you want to buy. The bot will then tailor options to your price range. This is what the future looks like: robot customer service agents. They will kill the customer service industry that we know. However, those bots will lack a human touch.
