Artificial intelligence (AI) is starting to invade a lot of applications we use regularly from Apple’s Siri to Amazons Alexa and a few others. The algorithms are consistently improving and some interesting use cases in learning are appearing too. IBM’s Watson is probably one of…
On my travels, I often listen to podcasts and audiobooks. This week I was listening to an interview with Peter Diamandis on the Foundr Podcast. He mentioned that artificial intelligence would eventually make education and healthcare free over time and available to all. The comment sort…
Gamification stuff we love: HackerRank HackerRank is a site for computer whizzes to solve programming problems in different computer science domains like algorithms, machine learning and artificial intelligence, and to excel in different programming paradigms like functional programming. The aim is to increase your skills level through…
I love trying out new things and as part of research for a project I am working on, I was testing chatbots. I came across Bottr.me and have been answering questions on the bottr.me back-end to enable the bot to speak on my behalf on…

Speech recognition as a tool for both augmented and virtual reality as well as more already available technology such as our mobile phones and devices such as Alexa, Echo and others is definitely improving and surrounding us. The technology enabling this service is becoming better…
This morning I attended an innovation update session by the wonderful people of Resource Solutions. One of the attractions was my favourite robot called Pepper, who had been trained to do a few poses for selfies. But imagine a robot as your secret weapon in…
With artificial intelligence, recommendation and reminder algorithms invading most web based applications and services, I often wonder how often they actually get it right? As you probably know I love technology and will always be trying out new things and find out how they can…
Big data is a buzzword, that has entered the frame of enterprise applications in the last number of years. It is in recent months that it is also entering the realm of learning technology. Saying that very few learning technology providers are able to provide…
In the HR world, new technology is often looked at with a level of scepticism. The emergence of artificial intelligence taking over our jobs is the current kid causing some worries. The fact that both Stephen Hawkins and Bill Gates have been speaking about a revolution…
It is my first time visiting South by southwest in Austin Texas and for me it is like nothing I have visited before. You have a combination of music, film, technology, education, creativity, design, etc all melting together in one big pot. Across a few…
