****** Scientists at MIT and Harvard’s Broad Institute and MIT’s CSAIL built a deep learning network that can acquire a broad representation of molecular structure and thereby discover novel antibiotics. The resulting compound, halicin, can destroy a pathogen for which no cure has existed, and it could even help in the fight against coronavirus... ******

A Silicon Valley startup has completed what appears to be the first commercial freight cross-country trip by an autonomous truck, which finished a 2,800-mile-run from Tulare, California to Quakertown, Pennsylvania for Land O’Lakes in under three days. The trip was smooth like butter, 40,000 pounds of it.
Plus.ai, a 3-year-old company in Cupertino, announced the milestone Tuesday. A safety driver was aboard the autonomous semi, ready to take the wheel if needed, along with a safety engineer who observed how things were going. |

In a recent speech, Forrester vice president and principal consultant Huard Smith said that the human aspect of many professions would be “all gone” by 2030 due to advances in AI and ML technology.
In this piece, I’ll look at seven of the industries or positions that are currently most likely to decline over the next decade. Believe me; number seven will surprise you.
1. TelemarketersThe chances of this particular role becoming fully computerized are as high as 99.9%. This is mainly because telemarketing conversion rates are relatively low. |

********* The key to becoming a medical specialist, in any discipline, is experience.
Knowing how to interpret symptoms, which move to make next in critical situations, and which treatment to provide — it all comes down to the training you’ve had and the opportunities you’ve had to apply it.
For AI algorithms, experience comes in the form of large, varied, high-quality datasets. But such datasets have traditionally proved hard to come by, especially in the area of healthcare.
Medical institutions have had to rely on their own data sources, which can be biased by, for example, patient demographics, the instruments used or clinical specializations. |

********* For those who are new to AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning, I recommend taking a look at the following article entitled "An Introduction to AI." I will refer to Machine Learning and Deep Learning as being subsets of AI. Furthermore, this article is non-exhaustive in relation to potential applications of AI to healthcare and Quantum Computing to various sectors of the economy. The reason for the focus on AI in healthcare is in light of recent articles by a few senior medical practitioners in the US expressing concern about the role of AI in healthcare. |

********* The year 2019 has shown itself to be unprecedented for consumer privacy concerns, and there are no signs of this trend slowing down. Via a number of avenues, such as Netflix’s new series ‘The Great Hack’, consumers are being exposed to a suffocating reality, that the idea of privacy is quickly vanishing.
There have been various natural responses to this growing concern, one of which is the introduction of theGeneral Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR for short. This new regulation aims to empower consumers (EU Citizens and Businesses), to retain more control as to how, where, and to whom their data is distributed. |
