Artificial Intelligence is the ability of computers to perform tasks better than humans can. AI is not just limited to computer programs, either. It’s also used in many different fields like finance, manufacturing, and healthcare. To learn how AI can make your life easier, keep reading!

What is AI?

Artificial intelligence is the branch of computer science that studies the implementation of intelligent agents. AI essentially means “artificial” in the sense that the agents are programmed to behave like humans. Most AI algorithms are self-learning, meaning that the software actually learns from experience and only gets better with practice. This is different from computer programs, which are usually programmed to rely on human knowledge to function.

How does AI work?

AI is implemented in software algorithms that can be used to recognize patterns,Spot trends,andmake decisions based on that data. AI systems often work as an extension of machine learning algorithms, meaning that the data is fed into the AI engine and the algorithms decide what data to store and what action to take based on that data. AI systems are often set up to learn from data and make predictions based on past performance, which can be helpful for businesses in areas like finance, marketing, and healthcare.

AI tools for the workplace

Artificial intelligence has been used in a variety of tools for the workplace. One example is AI-based skill learning, where an AI system helps employees acquire the skills they need to advance in their jobs. AI-powered job search and recruitment software helps HR and employers find the best talent by offering personalized suggestions based on job requirements, skill levels, and desired pay rate.

AI for marketing

Artificial intelligence has also made its way into marketing where it’s used to predict future demand and make decisions on which products or services to sell based on those predictions. Predictive marketing uses AI to create realistic digital ads that people actually want to watch.

How to use AI in your business

Machine learning algorithms can be incredibly helpful in business, especially when it comes to marketing. These algorithms can help businesses create more realistic and impactful ads for their products and services based on people’s past behavior. There are a few uses for AI in marketing that we’ll discuss below.

Final Words

Artificial intelligence is a rapidly growing field that can be applied to a wide variety of uses in business, both commercial and non-profit. There are many ways to use AI in marketing, including automated decision making, customer segmentation, and optimization of commercial content. Some industries are seeing more use of AI in marketing due to the growing popularity of digital marketing. AI-driven marketing campaigns can help businesses create more engaging content that drives customers to their website instead of botsy shopping results.

The video game developer recently shared its interest in NFTs and blockchain to integrate it into its games.

The video game giant, known for developing the Battlefield, The Sims and FIFA series of games, believes that the future of the industry lies in NFTs. It was during the conference highlighting the results of Electronic Arts (EA) that the CEO of the company, Andrew Wilson, talked about his interest in non-fungible tokens (NFT).

Electronic Arts CEO wants to integrate NFTs into its games

For now, the California-based company in Redwood City has not yet started on the NFT and blockchain market. While Steam has announced that it does not want to offer games with this technology, this is not the case with Epic Store, which has not closed the door to its entry into the market. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney explained on Twitter, “While Epic does not use cryptocurrency in its games, we welcome innovation in technology and finance.”

As for EA, Andrew Wilson believes that “gamers want access to more features, features that go beyond just 11-on-11 soccer.” The executive is referring to FIFA, a soccer simulation video game. He adds that “his community wants more digital content and all the players want us to look at this very quickly.”

After artworks and internet memes, NFTs are coming to video games
For now, even though EA’s CEO seems confident, he says “it’s still too early to tell, but I think we’re in a very good position and we’re supposed to think more innovatively and creatively about this in the future.” So EA has not announced anything concrete about possible NFT games in development.

After the free-to-play (free games and pay-to-win (free games where it is beneficial to pay for content and thus win more easily), EA opens the door to play-to-earn. The goal will be to make the player active in order to earn money through the blockchain. In August, Dom Hofmann, co-founder of Vine, announced that he was interested in designing an NFT game console.

Progressively, non-fungible tokens are at the center of new platforms or new strategies launched by large groups. Thus, outside the world of video games, Coinbase has launched its NFT marketplace, as well as Sotheby’s or Alibaba, which allows artists to sell the copyright of their works. Interest in NFTs has also increased since Ethereum has taken an interest in these tokens and started using them more regularly.

While the iPhone 13 Pro is available since September 24, our team wanted to know which are its most serious competitors, from existing to upcoming models.

Among the four new iPhone 13 launched by Apple, the iPhone 13 Pro allows access to the new photo and video features promised by the apple brand. Launched from 1159 dollars in 128 GB, it will have to compete with very serious competitors in this price range.

In addition to the already known Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, the new Xiaomi 11T Pro or Google Pixel 6 Pro could put it in the shade.

It is the most desirable of the four new iPhone 13 launched on September 24 by Apple. With its trio of 12-megapixel sensors and its A15 Bionic chip, the iPhone 13 Pro allows access to new photo and video functions, macro, presets applicable before a shot, or a Cinematic mode to adjust the focus on a particular subject in the middle of a shoot, all with a greatly enhanced autonomy.

Beyond these innovations, we thought it would be a good idea to compare them to existing and upcoming smartphones. Among them, we selected the Galaxy S21 Ultra from Samsung (already on the market), the 11T from Xiaomi and the Pixel 6 Pro from Google, three terminals that, with equal parameters, can claim to weigh against the iPhone 13 Pro when it comes to buying a new high-end 5G smartphone.

The most aggressive design: Xiaomi’s 11T Pro

Unveiled on September 15 (but with no official release date), the upcoming Xiaomi 11T Pro has some serious arguments to put up against the iPhone 13 Pro. Sold for 649 euros in 128 GB (510 euros less than the iPhone 13 Pro with the same capacity), it has a larger Oled screen than the iPhone 13 Pro: 6.67″, even if both screens are 120 Hz adaptive and include stereo speakers.

Xiaomi puts the package in the photo. Faced with the three 12-megapixel sensors of the iPhone 13 Pro, the 11T Pro offers the main sensor of 108 megapixels! even if the second ultra-wide-angle is content with 8 megapixels and the macro sensor of 5 megapixels. Advanced features are planned, such as a zoom with built-in special effects that looks suspiciously like Apple’s Cinematic mode.

The main argument of the Xiaomi 11T Pro is its 5,000 mAh battery, but especially its 120 W charging system. Thanks to it, the Xiaomi 11T Pro claims to be fully charged in 17 minutes, while Apple claims a 50% charge in 30 minutes.

The oldest competitor: Galaxy S21 Ultra, from Samsung

When it comes to photography, the S21 Ultra’s spec sheet surpasses that of the iPhone 13 Pro: four rear sensors (of 108, 12, 10 and 10 megapixels), compared to the iPhone’s three, offer a great deal of freedom to take pictures, with extremely detailed and accurate results. The S21 Ultra also stands out with its 40-megapixel front sensor, compared to the 12-megapixel sensor of the iPhone 13 Pro.

Eight months after its launch, Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra is certainly dated, but not without its qualities. And age is a good thing since its manufacturer is currently offering an immediate discount of 180 euros on its website (from 1079 euros, instead of 1259 euros). That’s 80 euros less than the iPhone 13 Pro (1159 euros in 128 GB).

With a diagonal of 6.8″, the S21 Ultra also sees bigger. And more detailed with, with contrasts of a rare intensity thanks to its Super AMOLED screen whose resolution is 3200 x 1440 pixels against 2532 x 1170 pixels for the iPhone 13 Pro, certainly of less diagonal (6.1”). However, the scanning frequency is identical on both screens: 120 Hz adaptive, which is ideal for the fluidity of video games.

For the autonomy, on the other hand, that of the iPhone 13 Pro announced to 22 hours of the video seems largely superior to that of the S21 Ultra which does not exceed 18 hours in intensive use.

The most promising: Google’s Pixel 6 Pro

Expected by the end of the year, the upcoming Pixel 6 Pro from Google should be a credible alternative to the iPhone 13 Pro. The information we’ve come across suggests that it will be a smartphone that’s good at taking pictures, but also at autonomy.

The Pixel 6 Pro and its 6.7″ 120Hz adaptive OLED screen will have three rear sensors of 50, 12 (ultra wide-angle) and 48 megapixels with 4x optical zoom. Knowing that the Mountain View company excels in image processing, it is likely that this Pixel 6 Pro will stand out in this universe.

The in-house processor, called “Tensor”, should boost the possibilities of internal calculations in artificial intelligence. We can expect a lot from it in terms of simultaneous translation, transcription of conversations into text, etc.

Regarding autonomy, the Pixel 6 Pro has planned to embark a 5,000 mAh battery, with a 33 W charging system. This is faster than the 18 W of the Pixel 5, but it is still far from the 120 W of the 11T Pro of Xiaomi! And unlike the Chinese smartphone, the new charger for the Pixel 6 Pro will probably not come in the box…

Announced by Google as “a high-end product” (it will run on Android 12), it is likely that the price of the Pixel 6T Pro will not be negligible, probably positioned around 1000 euros. The aesthetics of the smartphone, with its thick sensor bar on the back, could also be divisive.

We are probably not the first to tell you how popular vaping is. Thousands and thousands of cannabis lovers around the globe have already started using a vaporizer, and the market offers a multitude of possibilities. These products are trendy tech devices that are packing a lot of technology!

If you try to look for one on the internet, you will find hundreds of options to choose from.

With such a choice, it can be impossible to pick one. Fortunately, we know a few ways to narrow down the list of options and find your ideal choice. The secret? Just focus on precisely what you want. With all the options available to you, you’re sure to find something that matches what you’re looking for.

4 steps to choosing the right vaporizer

If you’re new to the world of vaporizers, you may not yet know what you want. After all, if you don’t know what’s on the market, how will you decide on one? There is no one vaporizer for everyone, so it’s a good thing there is so much variety. If you want to read more about the benefits of vaporization, please use this link.

To find the vaporizer that’s right for you, you can use the four steps below as a guide.

Heating method

Most people don’t know that the heating method makes all the difference in vaping. Although all of the methods below are valid for vaping, there are essential differences between them.

Conduction

Driving will be most familiar to those who are in the transition between smoking and vaping. The reason for this is that there is a heating device in contact with the herb or concentrate. As a result, the heating is more direct, but the temperatures are also higher, and possibly slight combustion of the plant matter occurs. However, this is not a problem for many people, especially since these vaporizers tend to be cheaper.

Convection

In contrast, convection does not involve contact between the heating device and the herb or concentrate. Instead, vapor is created from the hot air flowing through and around whatever you’re smoking. As a result, the vapor is much smoother on the lungs, although the flavors are lighter. Convection vaporizers are more expensive than conduction models, but you get a smoother, cleaner experience in return.

Hybrid

If you think both heating methods have their benefits, you don’t have to decide between one or the other. You see, some vaporizers use both convection and conduction to give you a smooth but powerful vape experience. Conduction gets the thing started, and convection propels it from there. It means that the effect is fast relative to pure convection, but there is no risk of possible combustion that comes with pure conduction.

Type of vaporizer

Most people are only familiar with pocket vaporizers. However, just like computers, there are options in both portable and desktop formats.

Desktop vaporizers

You may not see desktop vaporizers as often as the pocket models, but you don’t forget them when you do.

Pen vaporizers

No matter how cool the desktop vaporizer is, portability matters too. Sure, pipes and bubblers are “Portable,” but the glass can break along the way, and if you’re smoking a pipe or bubbler on the street, you’ll attract attention.

On the other hand, pen vaporizers are safe in your pocket and are more durable than joints or glass. You won’t get weird looks if you vape on the street either, since they are like e-cigarettes. The basic models are cheap, much cheaper than the desktop ones, but the price goes up as the quality goes up.

Portable vaporizers

Finally, bridging the gap between the two worlds, you have the option of a portable vaporizer.

Yes, technically, pen vaporizers are also portable, but we’re talking about more durable models made to provide superior results. Instead of being pen-shaped, they have a bulkier, box-like shape. That they are shaped that way is no coincidence, as bulkier vaporizers are usually much more potent than pen-shaped ones. The most famous portable vaporizer model on the market is the Mighty vaporizer.

Finding your ideal vaporizer

All this aside, the only thing left for you to do is buy the vaporizer and try it out for yourself. Since we don’t know you, we can’t tell you which one is right for you. However, you know yourself, and now you know precisely how to choose a vaporizer. Trust yourself, listen to anyone who has tried the product, and you can make the right decision with peace of mind.

The tech press was getting excited about the coming release of the iPhone SE 2020 (sometimes rumored to be called iPhone 9), after the leak of its official name in the visual of a Belkin shell sold on its official store. In the end, the iPhone SE 2020 won’t have bothered to show its face, but that’s only the beginning. The 2nd generation iPhone SE should arrive very soon on Apple’s (virtual, confined) shelves, even in the next two weeks, and most likely around mid-April.

“While launching an affordable/entry-level mid-cycle smartphone in the context of an almost global consumer containment and unprecedented pandemic (…) Apple probably sees this as a low-volume launch,” says MarketWatch. However, given the potential of this smartphone, which, it should be remembered, is expected to be sold at a low price of around $400, it is doubtful that the firm is embarking on a low-volume launch. The iPhone XR, in particular, had broken all records in terms of sales, and this iPhone SE 2 would be sold much cheaper, allowing many people who want to acquire an iPhone to find a new one at a lower price, while taking advantage of Apple’s latest technologies.

What’s planned for the iPhone SE?

What’s new in the iPhone SE 2020? Of course, in the absence of an official launch, everything we will say here is primarily based on the many rumors about it, although, with an imminent release looming, we can be pretty sure of certain things. For instance, the next-generation iPhone SE is expected to take over the chassis of the iPhone 8 (and the iPhone 6/6S/7), with this 4.7-inch LCD panel surrounded by wide borders on the front, including a Home button with Touch ID, as well as a glass surface on the back for wireless charging. On the back is a simple photosensor, but it could be the same 12 MP wide-angle primary sensor that equips the latest iPhone 11/11 Pro/11 Pro Max. Same inside, since this new iPhone SE could opt for an A13 Bionic chip, the same one that provides the latest flagship of the Apple. Since this mobile chip is currently unmatched in terms of raw power in this sector, its presence on the iPhone SE 2020 would make it the most powerful smartphone in the world, for the least cost.

Of course, the price is still unknown, in the absence of an official launch. There are rumors that this model could be sold for around $399 across the Atlantic (excluding taxes), and therefore probably between 400 and 500 euros in our region. Besides, it could be available in three colors, black, white, and red (PRODUCT RED). The range would range around a 64 GB model, one of 128 GB, and a last one of 256 GB.
