Full story <https://www.businessinsider.in/Googles-DeepMind-AI-can-accurately-detect-50…> *Decoded: How Amazon ensures speedy delivery of your orders * Amazon has around 50 fulfilment centres in India and considering that it delivers products across all 20,500 pins in the country, the rules that employees follow in these warehouses are pretty strict. Full story <https://www.timesnownews.com/business-economy/companies/article/decoded-how…> *AI-Driven Leadership* Many companies are experimenting with AI on a small scale, and a few have made a commitment that their organizations will be “AI first” or “AI-driven.” But what does this mean? What is AI doing or leading, and, in particular, what is the role of leadership in making organizations AI-driven? We see a lot of confusion around opportunity and action. In the 2018 Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends survey and report of business and HR leaders, 72% indicated that AI, robots, and automation are important — but only 31% felt their organizations were prepared to address strategy to implement these technologies. There aren’t that many AI-driven companies yet, and while we have seen a few examples outside of tech, most of the ones that do exist are technology companies. That makes it a little speculative to define the traits leaders need to help move their organizations to an AI-first future. Still, it’s useful to begin to develop a framework for what we already know about what it takes to be an AI-driven leader.

How do leaders cope with constant changes, enormous expectations and an unpredictable future? Well, a lot of the top organisations including Pepsi, Nike, Apple and Google use Design Thinking for leadership matters. Design thinking is coming up with visual patterns that lead to the desired solutions. In other words, it is about connecting the dots to come up with solutions to practical problems that you want to solve. The Design thinking approach is widely appreciated and adopted by leaders around the globe. Below, we look at 10 intriguing leadership lessons from design thinking: Full post <https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/10-amazing-leadership-lessons-f…> *Open Source Artificial Intelligence: 50 Top Projects* Since the earliest days of computers, creating machines that could "think" like humans has been a key goal for researchers. In the past few years, computer scientists have made huge leaps forward in artificial intelligence (AI), to the point where the technology is becoming commonplace. In fact, Gartner predicts, "By 2020, AI technologies will be virtually pervasive in almost every new software product and service." And IDC forecasts that companies will spend $12.5 billion on AI technology in 2017, 59.3 percent more than in 2016. That tremendous growth is likely to continue through 2020, when revenues could top $46 billion. Open source software development has played a huge role in the rise of artificial intelligence, and many of the top machine learning, deep learning, neural network and other AI software is available under open source licenses. For this list, we selected 50 of the most well-known of these open source artificial intelligence projects. They are organized into categories and then alphabetized within those categories. The lines between some of the categories can be fuzzy, so we used the project owners' descriptions of their applications to determine where to place the various tools. Know these projects <https://www.datamation.com/open-source/open-source-artificial-intelligence-…> *The Top 20 Reasons Start-ups Fail* From lack of product-market fit to disharmony on the team, we break down the top 20 reasons for start-up failure by analyzing 101 start-up failure post-mortems. After we compiled our list of start-up failure post-mortems, one of the most frequent requests we got was to use these posts to figure out the main reasons start-ups failed. Start-ups, corporations, investors, economic development folks, academics, and journalists all wanted some insight into the question: “What are the reasons start-ups fail?” So we gave those post-mortems the CB Insights’ data treatment to see if we could answer this question. After reading through every single of the 101 post-mortems, we’ve learned there is rarely one reason for a single start-up’s failure. However, we did begin to see a pattern to these stories. And so after sifting through the post-mortems, we identified the top 20 reasons start-ups failed. Since many start-ups offered multiple reasons for their failure, you’ll see the chart highlighting the top 20 reasons doesn’t add up to 100% (it far exceeds it). Following the chart is an explanation of each reason and relevant examples from the post-mortems. Full post <https://www.cbinsights.com/research/startup-failure-reasons-top/> *The Strangest Things That Were 3D-Printed in 2017* 3D printing isn't new to 2017, but this year, researchers pushed the boundaries of the seemingly sci-fi technique, printing objects that required intricate details — such as a lifelike model of a newborn and a microscopic camera — as well as objects made with materials that may sound surprising, including cheese and glass. Read on for a roundup of the coolest and kookiest things that were 3D-printed in 2017. Slideshow <https://www.livescience.com/61224-strangest-3d-printed-objects-2017.html> *24 Underwater Drones – The Boom in Robotics Beneath the Waves* Robotics Beneath the Waves Aerial drones have buzzed their way into almost every aspect of the modern world, from photography and television news coverage, to environmental monitoring and archaeology. And many of the concepts developed for aerial drones are being adopted and adapted to work in a very different environment — underwater. Look at the many ways that drones are being used beneath the waves, by oceanographic scientists, archaeologists, militaries, commercial divers, photographers and undersea explorers. Slideshow <https://www.livescience.com/61431-underwater-drones.html> *Generation Z enters the workforce* With Generation Z entering the workforce and the nature of entry-level jobs changing, how can organizations redesign these jobs in a way that can both attract and engage Gen Z and ensure that these jobs continue to generate a pipeline of future talent?
