By Taarini Kaur Dang

There is a critical need for female gender participation in overall artificial intelligence creation and development. This article is Part 2 of a 2 part series. Here is Part 1.

Considering all the exciting information and news about the relevance and imminent take-over of artificial intelligence, it is important to also consider a germane factor that will influence operations of the technology, overall. The insignificant level of female participation in AI development continues to be an issue of concern. The implication of this for AI, should this level remain so low, is that the essential feminine blending required for augmenting our everyday activities would be effectively non-existent in the technology. Hence, if this trend is not adjusted, the pervasion of AI could be interpreted as a takeover of the world, by the male gender. This would be devastating; we cannot exclude the significance of feminine input.  Read more >>

Buhle Bhengu died in the Bahamas more than a month ago. 

The family of Buhle Bhengu, a former cruise ship employee who died in the Bahamas, is now battling to find a route to bring her back to South Africa after being able to stop her cremation.

Bhengu, 30, who hails from Umlazi in KwaZulu-Natal, is believed to have fallen sick and died a month ago while she was working as a waitress on a Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) cruise ship in the island.

The Bahamas government wanted to cremate her body over concerns that her unexplained illness could be contagious.

The deceased‘s aunt Mbali Bhengu said the USA had refused to allow for her niece’s body to pass through their borders.

 “The USA has said no, they can’t allow her to pass through their borders and now we are trying to negotiate with the UK,” she said.

 Mbali said her family has still not been able to see her niece’s body. Read more >>

Lenny Kravitz - Entertainer

By GIBSON JOHNS

Lenny Kravitz is proud of his Bahamian heritage.

The Grammy-winning rocker, whose late mother was of Bahamian descent, recently took part in an illuminating tribute to the Islands of the Bahamas at Public Arts, where a campaign set to his 1998 hit, "Fly Away," was unveiled. Kravitz actually wrote the song in the Bahamas, heightening to the collaboration's meaningfulness.

Following a Q&A event, AOL's Gibson Johns sat down with Lenny Kravtiz to hear more about his love of the Bahamas and his home in Eleuthera, where he spends most of his downtime when he's not touring.  Read more >>

Royal Caribbean and its partners are finalizing a plan and proposal for Grand Bahama that will include the redevelopment of the Grand Lucayan resort complex and the island’s cruise port, the company’s chief executive officer, Michael Bayley, said on Friday.

Bayley said Royal Caribbean has entered into a 90-day discussion period with the government, during which it will present its final proposal for Grand Bahama. Bayley said the proposal will include numerous experiential elements, which he conceded Grand Bahama is missing.
