Define Your Artificial Intelligence Strategy

Use artificial intelligence to grow business revenue and achieve business goals

Maximize the opportunity of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies

Artificial intelligence (AI) drives value across the business, especially in customer experience, cost reduction, and revenue generation initiatives. Successful CIOs understand that strong AI technologies are more than technical and tactical projects — and that the successful application of artificial intelligence can unlock new opportunities and help achieve business goals.

Craft your artificial intelligence strategy

You don’t need to be an expert to make sense of artificial intelligence for your business — you can draw on experience you already have in two ways. First, assess how the use of artificial intelligence would benefit business outcomes, then evaluate how the power of AI and deep learning can be used to achieve those outcomes.

Microsoft is installing Office Web apps on some computers without permission

Microsoft appears to be experimenting with the idea of automatically installing Progressive Web App (PWA) versions of Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint without user permission, using the new Edge browser in Windows 10. That in itself wouldn't be so bad, after all, getting some form of free Office can be useful to most users. However, according to reports, the experiment is not limited to Windows Insider testers, and in the worst of cases, Windows will reboot your machine to apply these "updates" without your consent.

Microsoft Office PWAs are web-based versions of Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint which can be accessed via a web browser like Edge or Chrome. Typically, if users want to use one of Office PWAs, they need to manually install them and the apps are then added to the Windows Start Menu, where they can be easily accessed.

However, Windows Latest points out that Microsoft appears to be experimenting with a different approach. Over the weekend, a number of Windows users found that the Office Web apps installed on their Windows 10 machines without first seeking permission. “We noticed that PWAs were installed on our devices on October 11 and Microsoft automatically created dedicated entries for Excel, Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint in the Start Menu,” Windows Latest explains.

Based on the information available so far, the feature appears to be part of a Microsoft Edge experiment (the newer Chromium version, which is pretty good).

Armenia & Azerbaijan war: why the two countries are fighting

This war is going on over a mountainous area called Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan claims that the area is its own, although the region has been occupied by Armenia since the 1992 war. Historically, this region has been dominated by separatist organizations. This led to several decades of ethnic conflicts. This dispute between the two countries is several decades old. From the early 1980s to 1992, there was a war between the two countries over the region. During that time more than 30 thousand people were killed and more than one million people were displaced. Even after the ceasefire in 1994, there were frequent reports of violence. Both these countries agreed to a ceasefire but never consented to a peace agreement.
