Le Consortium Unicode vient d’autoriser 59 nouveaux petits symboles. Ces emojis ont évolué au fil des moeurs et de la société, mais aussi de la technologie.

Chinese is one of the oldest still-spoken languages in the world. But when technologies arrived like telegraphy and computing, designed with the Roman alphabet in mind, if Chinese wanted to be able to participate then it had to choose between adapting, or paying a heavy price. And sometimes both were inevitable. Jing Tsu, author of Kingdom of Characters: the Language Revolution that Made China Modern, recounts how Chinese contended with obstacles like alphabetisation, Romanisation and standardisation.

Christopher Nguyen, serial entrepreneur and CEO of Aitomatic, realized big data isn't the only answer when training AI models. In fact, when doing preventive or predictive maintenance on industrial equipment, only small data is available. He and his team asked what if instead of relying on automated data collection we codify expertise in the heads of a small number of experienced technicians. And thus human-first AI was born. Aitomatic was launched in 2021 to productize the new field. It builds on Christopher's legacy of innovation having spent time in academia, at Google, and other startups including Arimo before its acquisition by Panasonic.

Listen and learn...

1. Why human-first vs. data-first AI may disrupt traditional approaches to machine learning.
2. How automation problems in physical-first vs. digital-first industries require different solutions.
3. How to build machine learning models when there isn t enough data.
4. Why the world is in short supply of human expertise.
5. How people feel about having their jobs automated away.
6. Why the topic of ethical AI is controversial.
7. The science behind neuromorphic computing.

The Icelandic language has remained so stable over the centuries, speakers can read manuscripts from 900 years ago without too much trouble. And when they need a new word for more recent concepts, there are committees to coin one, so that the modern Icelandic lexicon includes such things as the internet, helicopters and mansplaining. Defending the language from the encroachment of English, however, is rather more challenging.

The wrong emoji can get you into trouble - and into court! That's what resident (and highly paid) South Mimm's U lawyer. Terence Prole, says. He cites cases and research into the rising importance of emoji's in litigation. What do they mean? How can you interpret them in a legal situation? Are emoji's an entirely new language, or just a different way for the same old emotions, lies, and prejudices to be expressed pictographically? Terence is also keen to create his own emoji - and he explains why and what it is. 

The only university that makes you chuckle AND learn at the same time.

Acompañado de un robótico Germán, Andrés nos contó la historia de los emojis, esos adictivos dibujitos que usamos para expresar nuestras emociones ☕☺☁⛵☀ Además, visitamos Emoji Mosaic, Emoji.ink y Emojistuff.com para revolcarnos en smileys y montañas de popó. Terminamos la versión con un tópico más relevante, eligiendo como destacado de la fecha al doctor Tarek Loubani, quien se valió de la tecnología de impresión 3D para crear estetoscopios baratos en tiempos de guerra.
