the US follow? Applicable in other industries as well?
German
Draft Regulation on the Reimbursement of Digital Health Applications
… Notably,
among its various obligations, the draft regulation and its Annex 1
include a number of data protection and data security requirements
that health app developers must comply with if their health apps are
to benefit from the reimbursement scheme.
Something
for my architecture students to consider.
Apple's
reported $200 million acquisition of Xnor.ai is part of the bigger
red-hot trend of edge computing
By
2025, the edge computing industry is expected to be worth $3.24
billion.
… Edge
computing allows data to be stored and processed closer to home, as
opposed to going via the cloud. The increasing number of "Internet
of Things" devices – everything from smartphones to smart
diapers – means bandwidth requirements are being pushed to their
limits.
By
transferring these processes to the "edge", these devices
can perform their primary computing functions without being dependent
on a WiFi or cloud network.
Agreement?
What a concept!

Artificial Intelligence: Mapping Consensus in Ethical and
Rights-Based Approaches to Principles for AI (January
15, 2020). Berkman Klein Center Research Publication No. 2020-1.
“The rapid spread of artificial intelligence (AI) systems has
precipitated a rise in ethical and human rights-based frameworks
intended to guide the development and use of these technologies.
Despite the proliferation of these “AI principles,” there has
been little scholarly focus on understanding these efforts either
individually or as contextualized within an expanding universe of
principles with discernible trends. To that end, this white paper
and its associated data visualization compare the contents of
thirty-six prominent AI principles documents side-by-side. This
effort uncovered a growing consensus around eight key thematic
trends: privacy, accountability, safety and security, transparency
and explainability, fairness and non-discrimination, human control of
technology, professional responsibility, and promotion of human
values.
Underlying this “normative core,” our analysis examined the
forty-seven individual principles that make up the themes, detailing
notable similarities and differences in interpretation found across
the documents. In sharing these observations, it is our hope that
policymakers, advocates, scholars, and others working to maximize the
benefits and minimize the harms of AI will be better positioned to
build on existing efforts and to push the fractured, global
conversation on the future of AI toward consensus.”
Amusing.

HUMANS
ARE STILL EVOLVING: 3 EXAMPLES OF RECENT ADAPTATIONS
… What we eat, how we use our bodies, and who
we choose to have kids with are just some of the many factors that
can cause the human body to change. Genetic mutations lead to new
traits — and with the world population now above 7 billion and
rising, the chances of genetic mutations that natural selection can
potentially act on is only increasing.
3. WE ARE COOLING DOWN
In
1868,
a German physician published a medical manual that established 98.6
degrees Fahrenheit as the "normal" human temperature.
Since then, 98.6 degrees has generally
been accepted as
the average temperature. Above that, and you have a fever. Below
that, and you have hypothermia.
But
this Goldilocks temperature is swiftly becoming obsolete. In
January, scientists discovered that we are actually way cooler than
we think.
According
to their
study,
published this January in the journal eLife,
the
average temperature is much more likely to be 97.9
DEGREES.

I. Pacifici has
completely revised and updated her guide, which she first published
in 2006 and has updated regularly since that time. A wide range of
free and low cost sites with expertly sourced content specific to
researchers focused on business, finance, government data,
legislation, legal research, analysis and news from the U.S .and
around the world, are highlighted and their value described. The
resources in this guide are the work of corporate, government,
academic, news organizations, advocacy groups and subject matter
experts, many of whom use open source applications. This guide is
pertinent to professionals who are actively engaged in employing a
balanced yet diverse group of reliable, expert, actionable sources
for their daily research.
