As my last post published in my blog this year I would like to share my prefered artificial Intelligence references of 2018. The list contais two reports and one article.
# 3 The AI Index 2018 Annual Report
This impressive report, suggested to me by my colleague Edson Antonio, is a comprehensive resource of data and analysis about Artificiall Intelligence. This report help reader to get insights and better understanding about current situation and trends of this complex field. The text style and contents are helpful for policymakers, researchers, executives, journalists, as well as the general public.

# 2 The Future of Jobs
As technological breakthroughs rapidly shift the frontier between the work tasks performed by humans and those performed by machines, algorithms, global labour markets are likely to undergo major transformations.
This insight report, by the World Economic Forum, presents the current understanding of human resources leaders—primarily of large employers with operations in multiple geographic locations—of the factors informing their planning, hiring, training and investment decisions at present and through to the report’s 2022 time horizon.

# 1 Autonomous robot bees
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/03/autonomous-robot-bees-are-being-patented-by-walmart
This is the most amazing article I read in 2018. Besides from refering directly to innovation, research and development, robots bees pollinating in real world recalls my PhD Thesis research project about virtual robot ants foraging in the railroad yard search space I have developed at the Artificial Intelligence research laboratory of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, over ten years ago.
For the ones who has little available and want to go directly to the point, I have reproduced the wraping up paragraph below. For the ones who want to enjoy it fully, just follow the link above.
“While scientists work to better understand declining pollinator populations, and hopefully come up with solutions, these Walmart farming drones could keep agriculture, and fresh produce, alive.” #scientists #agriculture
