Dear reader,

Welcome to this week’s edition of our newsletter.
AI is not only rising up the charts in tech industry events but also grabbing attention from governments the world over. Industries across sectors are looking at AI as a solution to many problems, and that explains the rising focus on AI at key industry events this year. We were impressed with the incorporation of AI in various processes, especially in analytics, visual inspection and robotics, says Mohit Agrawal after attending these events.
But the governments are treading cautiously. They are concerned about AI’s impact on the job market, its potential for misuse, and possible intellectual property rights violations. Is regulation the right solution, and what shape should it take? Analyzing the recent Congressional hearings on AI, Richard Windsor says humans are in far more danger from other humans than they are from machines, and it is this that any regulation should target. 

All this and much more in the news scroll below.
Happy reading and stay safe!
