Today's Story Highlights

Ellen Pao Airs Kleiner Perkins' Dirty Laundry
Ellen Pao on Monday testified in a San Franciso courtroom that she was
passed up for promotions and sexually harassed by a partner during her
employment at prestigious venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield
and Byers. Pao said that after she broke off a relationship with former
Kleiner Perkins partner Ajit Nazre, he made it difficult for her to do
her job.

How Deep Can Watson Drill?
IBM last week announced the acquisition of AlchemyAPI, which uses deep
learning to perform natural language processing. NLP consists of
semantic text analysis, including sentiment analysis. IBM "has some of
these capabilities already, and we continue to explore ways to expand
and amplify them through our growing developer community," said IBM
Watson VP Steve Gold.

Get Ready for Self-Driving Autos to Wreak Disruption
Autonomous vehicles are on a roll, suggests a new report from McKinsey &
Co. Acceptance will increase substantially by 2050, accounting for as
much of 20 percent of new car sales. The shift to self-driving
technologies could reduce auto accidents by as much as 90 percent, the
report suggests. In addition, self-driving vehicles could free up
commuters' time in the car.
