That certainly applies to the new Alexa Smart Speaker. Read MoreThanksgiving e-commerce sales pass $1.5B, up 17% year-on-year

Nov 23, 3:15PM
Welcome to Thanksgiving table talk circa 2017. It’s true that AI and machine learning are changing the world, and in a few years, it will be embedded in all of the technology in our lives. So maybe it makes sense to help folks at home better understand machine learning. After all, without deep knowledge of current tech, autonomous vehicles seem dangerous, Skynet is coming, and the… Read MoreIn Israel, a blockchain and crypto hyper-cluster is just getting started
