Welcome to TNW’s beginner’s guide to AI. This (currently) four part feature should provide you with a very basic understanding of what AI is, what it can do, and how it works. The guide contains articles on (in order published) neural networks, computer vision, natural language processing, and algorithms.

Before there was a Surface Book, Surface Studio, or Surface Pro, there was just the Surface. It’s been over three years since Microsoft last updated its smallest and cheapest series of devices, but it was worth the wait. Armed with a budget price and solid performance, the Surface Go, now on sale, feels like the computer Microsoft has been trying to make since the original. It’s about time.

Apple Inc. today became the first publicly listed US company valued at $1 trillion. The Cupertino company saw its stock surge nearly six percent yesterday after reporting better than expected earnings over the last quarter. Gains continued through Thursday where – cue the fanfare – Apple’s stock broke the magic number ($207.04 per share). Many analysts thought Amazon would get there first, but the house that Jobs built beat out both Bezos’ marketplace and Google’s AI, proving once and for all that putting a lowercase “i” in front of the word pod was truly a trillion dollar idea.

With more than $761 million in cryptocurrency thefts this year alone, security has become a hot topic in blockchain tech. But what exactly is the best way to store your digital assets on decentralized networks? If you ask Samsung, the answer might be your smartphone. But if you ask a bunch of security experts, things get a lot more complicated. In a blog post published on its Insights platform last month, Samsung suggested that “smartphones have the best security for blockchain and cryptocurrency.” The research went mostly unnoticed, until last week when it was suddenly picked up by several cryptocurrency…
