How brain-like should AI be?<\/h2>\n

What constitutes intelligence and how do we
\nreplicate it? Computer experts and neuroscientists have long been after a
\nuniversal theory of intelligence. The idea is simple \u2014 the more we understand
\nhow the brain works, the better our AI will be.<\/p>\n

Well, not exactly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kelly Clancy, a neuroscientist working with
\nGoogle\u2019s DeepMind, delves deep into the issue in this WIRED article<\/a>. Her
\nmain point? Two different roads often lead to the same place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

AI developers should keep in mind that what works for our brain might not work in machines, and vice versa. <\/p>\n

Not enough AI in your life? Here\u2019s a list of books on artificial intelligence<\/a> that you can read. <\/p>\n

Cloud and clear, Microsoft<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Speaking of AI \u2013 during its annual Built
\nconference, Microsoft unveiled a new partnership
\nwith OpenAI<\/a> to develop an Azure-hosted AI supercomputer.<\/p>\n

The computer will be among the 5 most
\nadvanced supercomputers in the world. It will be deployed to test large-scale
\nmodels and advance towards general artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Microsoft also announced its first industry-specific cloud offering for the healthcare sector<\/a>. The solution, which is now available in public preview, connects products like Microsoft 365 for marketing and customer service and Azure IoT.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Use cases include the development of a \u201cpatient journey\u201d that helps manage patient care and maximises positive outcomes. <\/p>\n

News from the frontlines…<\/strong> <\/h2>\n

One more week means one less week until
\nthings start looking normal again. This is what the tech world is doing to help
\nin the fight against COVID-19…<\/p>\n

If the pandemic has taught us anything about
\nretail IT is that, unlike larger companies, SMEs don\u2019t always have the means to
\nshift to digital operations when needed. In what is big news for e-commerce,
\nFacebook has launched Shops<\/a>, a new
\nservice that will allow companies to sell products on its platforms.<\/p>\n

The debate over the effectiveness of contact tracing technology rages on. Industry competitors and researchers are teaming up against all odds to create apps that respect user privacy, but poor adoption could undermine all these efforts. Nature magazine takes an in-depth look at the issue<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Plenty going on with tech these days. Even Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, used his keynote speech at this year\u2019s Build to congratulate the tech industry\u2019s response<\/a> to the global crisis. <\/p>\n
