Today's Story Highlights

Amazon Comprehend Medical Makes Sense of Scattered Healthcare Data
Amazon has announced Amazon Comprehend Medical, a language processing
service that lets users gather information -- such as a patient's
medical condition and medication dosage, strength and frequency -- from
sources including doctors' notes, clinical trial reports, hospital
admission notes and patient health records. Most health and patient data
currently is stored as unstructured medical text.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85709.html

Void Linux: Built From Scratch for Full Independence
Void Linux is a bit out of the ordinary. It offers an unusually
interesting alternative to many of the traditional Linux distros
affiliated with a larger Linux family such as Debian or Ubuntu or Arch.
Void Linux is an independently developed, rolling-release, general-
purpose operating system. That means that its software is either
homegrown or plain-vanilla compiled.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85703.html

The Consumer IoT's Boon for the Insurance Industry
Smart home and consumer IoT solutions promise significant opportunities
for the insurance industry in terms of reducing costs, alleviating
risks, deepening customer engagement, and creating new services and
revenue streams. There are many barriers ahead to overcome, but given
the tremendous upside, insurance companies have begun attacking these
challenges with a multi-tiered strategy.

Tesla vs. Jaguar: The First Real Electric Car Track Shootout
I'm a longtime Jaguar fan. I've owned a ton of them over the years, and
I've had both good and bad experiences with the cars. Currently I own
two -- a 1970 XKE and a 2014 F-Type -- and they are about to get a
sibling. I've ordered a new Jaguar I-Pace, which is the first legitimate
challenger to Tesla, which surprised the automotive industry much like
Apple surprised the mobile phone industry.

Human Rights Groups Sound Alarm Over 'Killer Robot' Threat
Leaders from Human Rights Watch and Harvard Law School's International
Human Rights Clinic have issued a dire warning that nations around the
world haven't been doing enough to ban the development of autonomous
weapons -- so-called "killer robots." The groups issued a joint report
that calls for a complete ban on these systems before it becomes too
late to act.

10 Ways to Avoid Losing Your Retirement to a Scam
Several years ago, my wife and I invested in a project called "Sanctuary
Belize" and, like many of the investors, we were incredibly excited
about the prospect of retiring in paradise. After a time, things just
weren't adding up. The company supposedly put controls in place to
reverse course, but we exited the project. As it turned out, those
controls either were not put in place or failed.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85689.html

Amazon Is Just the Tip of the AI Bias Iceberg
Amazon recently disclosed its 2015 decision to scrap a recruitment tool
used to hire talent, after finding that it had a bias against women.
While this story has been covered sufficiently, there is a much greater
story still to tell: A substantial amount of the AI technology that
currently is used for recruitment and human resources purposes has been
acting independently for some time.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85688.html

Acumos Project's 1st Software, Athena, Helps Ease AI Deployment
The LF Deep Learning Foundation has announced the availability of the
first software from the Acumos AI Project. Dubbed "Athena," it supports
open source innovation in AI, ML and DL. The goal is to make critical
new technologies available to developers and data scientists everywhere.
Launched earlier this year, Acumos is part of a Linux Foundation
umbrella organization.

Review: Battlefield V Mixes Fantastic Gameplay With Intense Realism
After taking Battlefield to "the beginning" with the First World War-

II with Battlefield V . Anyone who's not familiar with this first-person

Battlefield 1942 , offers players the chance to control vehicles as well
as soldiers.

Whether Intended or Accidental, Internet Traffic Rerouting Can Be Costly
An apparent prefix leak from an errant router misconfiguration caused
Google to lose control of several million of its IP addresses for more
than an hour on Monday. During the event, Internet traffic was misrouted
to China and Russia from Nigeria. The incident initially sparked
concerns that it might have been a hijacking. The mishap made Google
services unavailable to many users intermittently.

Star Explorer Mae Jemison: The Sky Connects Us
Mae Jemison recently shared some illuminating recollections of her
astronaut experiences, but they were neither the starting point nor the
ending point of our conversation. This extraordinary woman's career is
too packed with present and future endeavors to dwell very long on her
stellar past. She currently leads 100 Year Starship, which aims to make
interstellar travel a reality within a century.
