Really appreciate this: #MIT #MediaLab stresses new term "machine behavior" to describe how #AI & impact on humans evolves. Instead of being scared of “intelligent machines” we need to study algorithms with multi-disciplinary approach akin to ethology. 👍 https://t.co/aKQDE4f43O pic.twitter.com/JzstMzJsin

Well, the #robotaxi market is cooking hotter. #Tesla says they plan to launch a robotaxi network in 2020. That would be significantly before what other players aim at. Then, how trustworthy are #ElonMusk statements? Anyway, reason to be excited! https://t.co/HuxGAL3a1F pic.twitter.com/Wg08tNHKa3

For those of you interested in #retail innovation: #Walmart unveils an #AI powered store of the future, and it's now open to the public. It has 30K items and 50K square feet of space. Quite a different ballpark than #AmazonGo. Excited for the insights! https://t.co/RwDzh4xtGi pic.twitter.com/UOFxNNUjj0
