SAY THE WORD - MERCEDES BENZ

Imagine a world where you can control things around you with your voice command. Well, in a way, you do it today with Siri, Amazon Echo and Google Home, but it would be even better if you could do it with your car.

Before the world moves to driverless cars, Mercedes Benz is introducing to the world, an in-voice command control that allows the drivers to play music of their choice, turn the colour of lights, navigate through the roads and much more.

The feature has been introduced through a very eye catching advert that has special effects thrown in, making the commercial quite an enjoyable and memorable one. It seems to be an attempt from Mercedes to attract the younger clientele that tends to veer towards BMW and Audi because of the positioning that #Mercedes has built for itself over the years.

Impact of Artificial Intelligence across Sectors

You may like it or hate it but AI is here to stay and it will only get bigger and better. AI will touch and impact all of us in some form or the other. Here is a case of a startup in Finland who is using prison inmates to train artificial intelligence algorithms!
Prison Inmates learning AI

Everyone is happy with this arrangement:
1. Prisoners get to do something meaningful, learn and get prepared for the outside world and also earn money.
2. The startup company gets labour at a fraction of a cost in comparison to what it would have to pay to technical people.
3. The jail authorities are happy as it keeps their prisoners busy without the risk of violence as the task only uses a laptop. Quite an interesting move and an insightful article.
