Prof. Andrzej K. Koźmiński: Nowy pragmatyzm kontra nowy nacjonalizm
Warszawa - 2 lutego 2017 - "Coraz większe polityczne poparcie ma ideologia określana mianem nowego nacjonalizmu. Chodzi o różne narodowe warianty hasła 'America first', których celem jest 'uwolnienie' narodów z więzów ponadnarodowych porozumień, umów i regulacji. Jej efektem są zwycięstwa obecnego prezydenta USA czy Brexitu. Nowy nacjonalizm opiera się na emocjonalnej obronie dwóch zagrożonych wartości: narodowej odrębności i suwerenności oraz tradycyjnego wzorca ludowego dobrobytu ukształtowanego w najbogatszych krajach Zachodu w latach 60. i 70. ubiegłego wieku. Nowy pragmatyzm i nowy nacjonalizm pozostają w całkowitej opozycji. Nowy pragmatyzm akceptuje globalizację jako nieuniknioną konsekwencję dotychczasowego rozwoju technologii, społeczeństw i gospodarek i na tej podstawie proponuje wiele rozwiązań i polityk zmierzających do osłabiania jej negatywnych następstw. Istotnym elementem jest zmniejszanie nierówności ekonomicznych i społecznych i otwarcie jak najliczniejszym grupom społecznym możliwości pomnażania swego osobistego kapitału intelektualnego oraz korzystania z jego owoców dzięki globalnej mobilności. Podstawą musi więc być swobodny przepływ dóbr, usług, kapitału i ludzi w skali globalnej." - pisze twórca Akademii Leona Koźmińskiego.

How Facebook Uses Data Analytics To Understand Your Posts And Recognize Your Face
LinkedIn - January 26, 2017 - With 1.2 billion people uploading 136,000 photos and updating their status 293,000 times per minute, until recently Facebook could only hope to draw value from a tiny fraction of its unstructured data - information which isn't easily quantified and put into rows and tables for computer analysis. Facebook uses a DL application called DeepFace to teach it to recognize people in photos. It says that its most advanced image recognition tool is more successful than humans in recognizing whether two different images are of the same person or not - with DeepFace scoring a 97% success rate compared to humans with 96%. Facebook is a strong supporter of Open Source and makes most of the work of its AI labs Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR) freely available for anyone to use or modify however they like. Most of Facebook's Deep Learning is built on the Torch platform, a development environment focused on the development of deep learning technologies and neural networks.

BlackRock: Larry Fink's annual letter to CEOs. I write on behalf of our clients...
New York, NY, USA - January 24, 2017 - Many companies responded by publicly disclosing detailed plans, including robust processes for board involvement. These plans provided shareholders with an opportunity to evaluate a company's long-term strategy and the progress made in executing on it. Over the past 12 months, many of the assumptions on which those plans were based - including sustained low inflation and an expectation for continued globalization - have been upended. Brexit is reshaping Europe; upheaval in the Middle East is having global consequences; the U.S. is anticipating reflation, rising rates, and renewed growth; and President Trump's fiscal, tax and trade policies will further impact the economic landscape.

CES 2017: Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform helps automakers transform cars
Redmond, Wash., and Las Vegas, NV, USA - January 5, 2017 - Today at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, we announced the Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform, a set of services built on the Microsoft Azure cloud and designed to empower auto manufacturers to create custom connected driving experiences. This is not an in-car operating system or a "finished product"; it's a living, agile platform that starts with the cloud as the foundation and aims to address five core scenarios that our partners have told us are key priorities: predictive maintenance, improved in-car productivity, advanced navigation, customer insights and help building autonomous driving capabilities. Microsoft's cloud will do the heavy lifting by ingesting huge volumes of sensor and usage data from connected vehicles, and then helping automakers apply that data in powerful ways. Our strength in building a global cloud at scale is the primary reason the Renault-Nissan Alliance chose to work with Microsoft, becoming the first auto manufacturer to commit to the Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform.
