Artificial Intelligence

A

rtificial intelligence (AI) is a technical term referring to artefacts used to detect contexts or to effect actions in response to detected contexts. Our capacity to build such artefacts have been increasing in current years, and with it the impact they have on our society as a whole.

In the past decade, and particularly the past few years, have been transformative for artificial intelligence. 2007 was the significant year for the beginning of the (AI) era, with the introduction of smartphones.

For decades, even prior to the inception of the term—AI has created both fear and excitement as humanity contemplates creating machines in our image; however with that in mind, AI has been around for much longer than most of us actually think. It has been a standard part of the industrial repertoire since at least the 1980s.

AI is here now, available to and benefiting all of us. However its consequences for our social order are not only not understood, but have until recently have barely even been the subject of study. Also with advances

Sophie says.....

The good and bad connotation by Sophie Fitzjohn. in robotics, AI is entering our physical spaces in the form of autonomous vehicles, weapons, drones, and domestic devices, including “smart speakers” and even games consoles. We are becoming surrounded by pervasive automated perception, analysis, and increasingly action as a result of continued AI development.

Artificial Intelligence is core to some of the most successful companies in history in terms of market capitalization. For example, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon. Along with Information and Communication Technology (ICT), AI has revolutionized the ease with which people from all over the globe can access knowledge, credit, and other benefits of contemporary global society. Having such access has helped lead to a massive reduction in global inequality and extreme poverty; by allowing farmers to know fair prices, best crops, and giving them accessibility to accurate weather predictions.

AI has its positive impacts but also its negatives. As the president of Microsoft voiced; as intelligent technology raises issues that go to the heart of fundamental human

What does the future look like?

rights protections like privacy and freedom of expression. This is a concern; however AI has been and is an incredible force of both economic growth and individual empowerment.

With it we are able to know, discover, learn and do things that would have been unimaginable even fifty years ago. AI is already changing society at a faster pace than we anticipated, but at the same time it is not as novel or unique in human experience as we are often led to think.

Artefactual entities, such as writing and language, corporations and governments, telecommunication and oil, have previously extended our capacities and altered our economies drastically; and disrupted our social order as a result—generally though not universally for the better. The evidence that we are on average better off for our progress is ironically perhaps the greatest threat we currently need to master: sustainable living and reversing the collapse of biodiversity. AI is developing rapidly and time will tell whether we get the balance of this complex topic right.

Quotes - Robots will do everything better than us.

Elon Musk

The thing that’s going to make artificial intelligence so powerful is its ability to learn, and the way AI learns is to look at human culture.

Sushi sense

Fresheye makes note of healthy eating.

S

ushi rice is a great source of carbohydrates and has negligible fat. The seaweed wrapper nori is rich in iodine. Seafood, the main ingredient of the dish contains omega-3 fatty acids and selenium in large quantities. The fruits and vegetables (avocado, cucumber, etc.) used in sushi also add to its benefits.

Health Benefits Of Sushi Other than the delicious taste, here are the top reasons why you shouldn’t miss eating this Japanese delicacy: l Lowers risk of heart diseases such as atherosclerosis and strokes l Ensures healthy hormonal balance l Reduces risk of cancer l Increases red blood cell count

Nutritional Profile Of Sushi The nutrition profile is diverse. Sushi rice is a great source of carbohydrates and has negligible fat. The seaweed wrapper nori is rich in iodine. Seafood is the main ingredient of the dish that contains omega-3 fatty acids and selenium in large quantities. Different types of fish added in the sushi contain different minerals and vitamins. The fruits and vegetables (avocado, cucumber, etc.) used in sushi also add to its benefits.

The accompaniments, ginger and wasabi, contain antioxidant compounds, as well as vitamins and minerals. Soy sauce, which is a delicious dip for the sushi roll, contains very high levels of sodium, so use it sparingly.

Additional cream and sauces like mayonnaise will add to the calories. So, control your cravings while enjoying the sushi.

Types Of Sushi l Nigiri: This type of sushi has slices of fresh raw fish or meat placed over pressed rice. It is seasoned with wasabi and soy sauce. l Maki: Maki is a sushi roll comprising one or more fish and vegetables in rice wrapped with roasted nori seaweed. l Temaki: This sushi is prepared in the same way as maki but is rolled in a cone shape for a better appearance and grip. l Uramaki: This is a very interesting roll, made inside out, where the nori covers the fillings and the sushi rice is used to wrap the nori. An outer coating is also done with toasted sesame seeds and other ingredients, all of which add a distinct flavor to the sushi. l Sashimi: In this, the slices of raw fish are presented without rice, generally served on julienned daikon radish.

The beauty of living twice In a new memoir, the actress reveals plenty.

S

haron Stone became famous by revealing herself on the big screen. Now the 63-year-old is doing the revealing on the page.

Here’s what’s revealed in the Basic Instinct icon’s new memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice.

It’s not a tell-all Although she shares an anecdote or two about her famous roles in Casino and Basic Instinct, Stone’s book is fairly light on insider Hollywood gossip. While she isn’t exactly known for being demure, she plays it nice. …in myriad ways.

The book opens dramatically with Stone in a hospital bed after suffering a stroke in 2001.

Even in convalescence, she stays true to her sex-symbol status. “There is a very goodlooking doctor here,” she tells a friend sitting by her bedside. “Sadly, I might not be able to flirt with him.” While recovering, Stone “loved watching Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” and committed to leading a simpler, kinder, and more spiritual life.

And there’s plenty of name-dropping Faye Dunaway took her to the Basic Instinct premiere. While she was shooting Casino, Mick Jagger told her to cover her windows with foil so she could sleep during the day.

She had her own way of handling things.

Insane level of Ferrari T

he car’s name encapsulates the true significance of all that has been achieved in terms of performance. The reference to the 90th anniversary of the foundation of Scuderia Ferrari underscores the strong link that has always existed between Ferrari’s track and road cars. A brilliant encapsulation of the most advanced technologies developed in Maranello, the SF90 Stradale is also the perfect demonstration of how Ferrari immediately transitions the knowledge and skills it acquires in competition with its production cars.

Dynamics in view Depending on how you see Ferrari, the SF90 is potentially controversial. It’s the firm’s new flagship, but isn’t powered by a seminal V12.

Nor is it an only-available-to-collectors limited edition. It’s 4wd. There are three electric motors. You can plug it in. It starts silently, and it can drive silently. There’s never been a

fresh eye

Ferrari that can do that before. Nor has there been one where the brake pedal isn’t directly connected to the callipers. Or one without a mechanical rev counter behind the steering wheel. There isn’t even a reverse gear in the gearbox – but relax, there is one elsewhere.

And yet this is Ferrari’s fastest, most powerful road car ever. Quicker around the Fiorano home circuit than the LaFerrari, delivering 986bhp (that’s a metric 1,000hp) to the road – the same as a Bugatti Veyron, but with basically half the engine capacity and turbos, and weighing several hundred kilos less. So yes, it’s fast – 0-62mph in 2.5secs, 124mph in 6.7secs.

Ferrari SF90

fresheyecourses.com

Designed for sensory performance.

The SF90 Stradale is the first ever Ferrari to feature PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) architecture which sees the internal combustion engine integrated with three electric motors, two of which are independent and located on the front axle, with the third at the rear between the engine and the gearbox.

For the first time on a Ferrari, clients can choose between the standard car and a version with a more sports-oriented specification.

11

12

Interior: A 16-inch curved display located behind the steering wheel displays various vital statistics of the car to the driver.

The car also employs a new head-up display that would reconfigure itself according to the selected driving mode.

The steering wheel is carried over from the 488 but now features multiple capacitive touch interfaces to control the various functions of the car. Other conventional levers and buttons are retained. The interior will also channel sound of the engine to the driver according to the manufacturer

Ferrari SF90

fresheyecourses.com

Smart cooling flow management.

The internal combustion engine, gearbox, turbo-charged air, battery pack and electric motors, the inverters and charging systems and brakes all need cooling. Meticulous attention was paid to the design of the engine bay which houses both the usual internal combustion engine systems that generate temperatures of nearly 900°C, and highly temperature-sensitive electronic components.

13

14

Handling: The SF90 Stradale employs eSSC (electric Side Slip Control) which controls the torque distribution to all four wheels of the car. The eSSC is combined with eTC (electric Tractional Control), a new brake-by-wire system which combines the traditional hydraulic braking system and electric motors to provide optimal regenerative braking and torque vectoring.

Ferrari SF90

fresheyecourses.com

Performance feels every bit as towering as Ferrari’s claimed 6.7sec 0-124mph time suggests it should.

The brand’s new hypercar comes standard with all-wheel drive and is capable of traveling for up to 16 miles using only electric power. The SF90 Stradale is motivated by three electric motors and a potent V-8, and they combine to produce a staggering 986 horsepower.

15

16

Performance: Ferrari states that the SF90 Stradale is capable of accelerating from a standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds, 0–200 km/h (124 mph) in 6.7 seconds and can attain a top speed of 340 km/h (211 mph).[13] It is the fastest Ferrari road car on their Fiorano Circuit as of 2020, seven tenths of a second faster than the LaFerrari.

Ferrari SF90

fresheyecourses.com

Contemporary vehicle aesthetic and vision.

Despite their stratospheric performance, the SF90 models don’t skimp on driver-and-passenger comfort, and both provide an impressive list of standard features including a reconfigurable digital gauge display, automatic climate control, and a leather-lined cabin.

This plug-in hybrid Ferrari hypercar’s uncompromising performance gives us both a taste of the storied Italian automaker’s future and a tantalizing car for the present.

It’s a crossover, bridging the gap between supercar and hypercar. Hypercar performance, supercar price.

It’s always enjoyable to interview someone you already know well. There’s an anticipation to extract something more than you didn’t already know.

The Ginaissance Period Uncovering the fascination - Mandy Willson Telford.

A

pproximately 300 years ago Gin made its first appearance (in a primitive form) here in England. In 1714 it made it into the Oxford dictionary.

Since its humble beginnings, it has enjoyed a chequered history and conjures up many images. For some, it will forever be synonymous with the debauched Hogarth painting. Others see the glamour of Martinis in the Savoy. It has dipped in and out of fashion with reliable frequency.

Up until just before the start of this century, there were just 3 main brands. Beefeater, at the time the only gin distillery within the City of London, Gordons and Bombay Sapphire. During the 80s and 90s Gin was down on its luck and Vodka was calling all the shots (pardon the pun).

Then, in 1999, along came Hendricks with its soft rose and green notes. Served with cucumber and not the obligatory lemon wedge. Martin Millers with its secret ingredient (cucumber) and distilled using pure Icelandic water followed

fresh eye

soon after. Hendricks with its apothecarystyle bottle was popular with bartenders but it was not until 2008 that it took off with the general public. At this time, Gin had not yet experienced its renaissance period. This was to come in 2009, when a small relatively unknown micro-distillery challenged the current law of not allowing the use of a still that had a capacity lower than 1800lts. This law had been in place for nearly 200 years, created because British tax officials were fed up with illegal distillers who would use small portable stills to make a quick getaway if needed. Sipsmith’s, a 3-man band, decided this should change, and in 2009, after 2 years of lobbying HMRC they were granted a licence to create their gin using the 300lt copper pot still that they named Prudence. The rest is history and the reason here in the UK we are now littered with micro-distilleries and have hundreds of gins to choose from.

I first became interested in Gin back in 2007 when I began working as a taster for the

multinational beverage company, Diageo. During the 7 years I worked for them, I saw the gin market explode from literally a handful of brands, to the 100s we can buy today. It is hard to believe how quickly things changed. Gin itself has evolved beyond recognition. I watched with amusement when marketing experts, on an episode of The Apprentice, stated coloured gin was an absolute non-starter, it would never catch on. Magellan Gin is blue, naturally coloured with iris flowers.

Some years ago, the distillers decided to omit the colour and sales dropped dramatically.

Unsurprisingly it was reintroduced quickly. You can now buy Yellow, Pink, Green, Violet and, even colour changing Gin. Some, gimmicky but others, delectable. I am a sucker for a delicately coloured Gin in a beautiful glass bottle.

At the end of the day, for me, Juniper should always be the dominant flavour with supporting botanicals like Coriander, Angelica Liquorice, Orris root, and Citrus just behind and then, a hint of the more unique or unusual additions. Hendricks and Millers have got this right, as have Brockmans (berry), Tanqueray Rangpur (lime), Malfy Rosa (grapefruit), and Opihr (spice). Sacred Spirits also have a range of spotlight gins. They are also superb. The Cardamom variant, my particular favourite.

One, that in my opinion has got it wrong, is Hoxton. Its heavy coconut and vanilla profile has more in common with a bottle of Malibu.

This is, I must emphasize, just my opinion. It

u

is very drinkable as a stand-alone spirit, but the juniper is hard to find. It does not have the expected aroma or flavour of a Gin. Many of the fruity pink Gins have also gone down this route, almost evolving from the alcopops of the 90s. They have their place, but they are not for me. Tanqueray No Ten will always be in my top 3 ‘real’ Gins. The vibrant green Art Deco bottle is simply stunning. It would look right at home in an episode of Agatha Christie’s Poirot.

It makes the absolute best Martinis. Distilled 4 times with a Juniper lead, Coriander, Liquorice, earthy Angelica, Citrus, and Chamomile. So much going on; all in perfect harmony. Multiaward-winning No.3 London Gin is up there too. A beautifully designed turquoise bottle, with the iconic key, smooth enough to drink on its own. Finally, the one that challenged the law and paved the way for all the craft/micro-distilleries we have now, Sipsmith. Like Tanqueray Ten and No.3 London Gin, it is another multi-awardwinning, classic Gin, with its almost unique ‘One Shot’ distillation method. Dominant, dry Juniper closely followed by bold citrus, then spice. What more could you wish for?

This current Gin craze shows no signs of slowing and in 2019 sales were predicted to increase by 37% by the start of this year. I think we will see Gins with more unusual flavour profiles arriving from faraway lands, and, maybe some of the less popular or Gimmicky Gins disappearing altogether as distilleries decide which to keep and which to cull. I can’t wait to see what surprises this year will bring.

Collab Fad Comedian and social media star Elsa Majimbo reveals her collaboration with Valentino.

P

erhaps one of the things we miss the most and need right now in pandemic times is to laugh.

During the lockdown, 19-year-old comedian and social media star Elsa Majimbo must have thought this when she began to entertain her followers with sketches and clips posted on Instagram and Tiktok, becoming much more than just an influencer. Whether it’s her “Bedtime with Elsa” interview series, or her many hilarious projects, such as the first ASMR song, a trap song about chocolate snacks, Elsa has continued to converse with the world at a time when lightness and lightheartedness seemed to have been forgotten. Valentino got in touch with Elsa to create what is the first in a series of cultural projects of the Maison, with an educational and inclusive focus. The result of this special meeting is the book “ The Alphabet for Kids and Adults “, a volume that harmoniously combines depth of content and

an inevitable comic streak, each letter of the alphabet has two definitions, sayings or lines, dedicated on one side to an audience of adults and on the other to the little ones. A book that unites generations, makes them meet, builds a tool for reflection for the years to come. This collaboration marks Elsa’s debut in the fashion world and in the awaiting the launch of the book, which will take place on March 20, we met her via Zoom to let us preview all the background of the collab.

How did your career start?

I started making videos myself, my reflections, my sketches made me laugh, so I decided to post them on Instagram and later on Tik Tok. From there a following was created that spurred me to create podcasts, songs, my bedtime interview series called “Bedtime with Elsa”. I currently have around 619,000 followers on TikTok and nearly 2.2 million on u Instagram.

Shared values “Valentino has given me the freedom to feel comfortable, elegant and myself. I especially appreciate their openmindedness, the fact that there are often no divisions between men’s and women’s clothing. I love that they support inclusiveness and that they take care of people’s wellbeing through clothes.”

How did you get the idea for the book?

The fairytale-themed 3D illustrations are by Pepijn Temming, a Dutch digital artist who worked hard to create small, letter-by-letter graphic worlds. It will initially be honored to the Maison’s “friends” and to my fans.

u

The book is for adults and children, why do you recommend reading it? What is the message you want to communicate?

There are many things I want to say. There are jokes designed for children and that’s it, as well as sentences designed for adults, who can surely have fun reading those designed for children. I liked the fact that different generations can be connected. The idea is that this book accompanies the growth of the little ones, there will come a time when they will be able to grasp all the references also designed for their parents.

T

he art of conversation, like any art, combines practiced skill, style, and a certain elegance of delivery. Thirty years after the invention of the world wide web, it is evident that this art has but a tenuous online presence.

The digital age of texting has not ushered in a renaissance of brilliant conversation. Instead, social media has created a stupefying disconnect resulting in a poverty of nuance and decorum.

While some connoisseurs of conversation have adapted, as seen with cleverly crafted tweets, scroll to the comment section, and find swarms of frightfully ill-thought-out replies. It is as if “thinking before you speak” has not made it into the texting sphere.

Social media has become a world where shorthand shock value is valued over meaning. Elegant conversation has been reduced to a meme to be laughed over. Even more concerning, digital natives aren’t cognizant of the conversational skills they lack.

Philosphical Cummunications by dancer Hillary Sukhonos.

Generation Z and Millenials are boldly building our world, inviting an epidemic of one-sided conversations trapped in a vacuumous echo chamber. A strong case can be made for digital natives to return to real life interactions, preferably with those fluent in body language, gesture, tone, timing. With time, perhaps, dignified conversation can make a comeback or at least bleed into the digital sphere.

Otherwise, technology will continue to be a poor substitute. For example, texting while useful for speedy notifications, is a disastrous main conversation medium. How I would trade in a good conversation over texting anyday!

Although new audio-discussion platforms like Clubhouse are fast appearing on the digital landscape. The opportunity to converse with others is again eclipsed by the middle man of a screen, microphones, and delay. I fear users will be so far removed from real life interactions that the art of conversation could be lost on an entire generation.

So, in the name of preservation of all things artful and pleasing, have a real life conversation today.

Renault Morphoz Imagine a city with smaller traffic jams, where users share the roads intelligently and life is quieter and more eco-friendly. Now imagine there is a modular car in this city. It gives you a warm welcome to its spacious interior. This is a car that can take you beyond the city, and even far beyond… This is 2025, and you’ve just climbed into MORPHOZ.

Getting around isn’t all about high-tech gadgets, it’s about being efficient, quieter and cleaner. It’s about cities becoming gradually less congested, with better air quality, and smarter management of the planet’s energy.

Above: With the MORPHOZ concept car, Renault have captured the mobility of the world 5 years hence. It’s a clean, modular vehicle.

It’s bespoke and adapts just as well to everyday journeys as it does to long-distance trips. It’s a passenger car that you share when you’re not using it. You can drive it, or it can drive you.

Practical note: Mobility isn’t all about high-tech gadgets, it’s about being efficient, quieter and cleaner. It’s about cities becoming gradually less congested, better air quality, and smarter management of the planet’s energy. When the vehicle isn’t in motion, its batteries can power equipment in the house or local area (using Vehicle to Grid technology).

Travel Extender: MORPHOZ outlines the vision and business, design and product orientation of the Renault of the future. It’s a modular car which can physically transform according to your needs, either as a short City version or a long Travel version, with the appropriate battery capacity. MORPHOZ might set you daydreaming, but that’s not its main aim. Concept cars are first and foremost innovation labs where we can test technologies and steer the design of our future models. MORPHOZ is another perfect illustration of this.

In its long version, MORPHOZ offers more legroom for passengers and space for additional luggage. On board, everything is centered on the occupants and their interactions.

Energize: The car batteries can also be stored in a charging station for use in other vehicles, or else supply equipment such as self-service cycle recharging stations and street lighting. The more batteries are shared, leads to less production and reduced carbon footprint.

This concept anticipates the disappearance of car keys and key cards, as well as legislation which could one day gradually enforce car sharing on all private vehicles.

Ecosystem: The vast majority of cars will eventually be electric. But if they are to play a crucial role in the energy transition, zero-emission vehicles must not be an end in themselves: they are and will increasingly be built into an intelligent electric ecosystem, the smart city. As on Porto Santo island, where batteries are at the heart of its shared energy network.

We’ve spent a long time working on how to maximise the second life of batteries, and with MORPHOZ we’re demonstrating even smarter thinking in how to exploit them, which is to say, by generalised sharing.

interior: Beneath its crossover look, MORPHOZ combines styles with its bold yet smooth lines. Featuring a retractable dashboard, pivoting passenger seat and rear sliding seats, the interior cabin is fully adaptable.

Bioceramic Bio what?

S

watch presents its latest innovation: BIOCERAMIC. Only few months after the first bio-sourced Swatch launched in September 2020, here comes a new and unique mix of ceramic and bio-sourced plastic made by Swatch.

Two-thirds ceramic, one-third bio-sourced plastic, BIOCERAMIC is both resilient and resistant with a silk-like touch - uniting the best of both worlds. What better watch to showcase the brand’s newest material than the BIG BOLD? The 47 mm diameter case, deep and architecturally structured, provides plenty of room to appreciate the pure and refined BIOCERAMIC characteristics to the fullest.

There are five colors to choose from: the classic design statements black and white, the “color of the year” grey, optimistic sky-blue and new power-pink. BIG BOLD in BIOCERAMIC is a smooth, pure and substantial design piece, reduced to the max to allow the new material to be fully enjoyed thanks to the signature “see-through” Swatch attitude. The bracelet, glass and loops are made from biosourced plastic. www.swatch.com
