BROWN/AFP/Getty Images) Many younger people only know of Albert Einstein through t-shirts with his wacky hair and tongue sticking out, or through one-off events that center around his intellectual achievements, like last year's celebration for the 100th anniversary of his General Theory of Relativity. Yet Einstein is more than just an eccentric genius. "Everyone knows Einstein is a great scientist," says Hebrew University's Professor Hanoch Gutfreund. "He also is an humanitarian who expressed his views in his writing, teaching, and public appearances. While not everyone may be a certifiable genius, there are several leadership tips that Millennials can borrow from Einstein in order to succeed at work and in life. "Einstein is a symbol of innovation, tenacity, and imagination," says Elan Divon, co-founder of Einstein Legacy Project (ELP), under the Canadian Friends of Hebrew University; an affiliate organization of The Hebrew University which was founded by Einstein in 1918 and to whom Einstein bequeathed his estate upon his passing in 1955. "We want to use his legacy to inspire minds all over the planet and empower a new generation of Einstein's.

Donald Trump's presidency got off to a bloody start in January, when a special operations forces raid against al-Qaeda in Yemen killed numerous civilians and a US Navy SEAL. The raid was a disaster, but it did not deter the US from launching more attacks using drones and other weapons platforms. In one week earlier this month, the Trump administration conducted about 40 strikes in Yemen, including 25 on a single day. Added to that, there was a drone attack in Pakistan, the first in the country since May 2016. Barack Obama was much criticised for his dramatic escalation of drone strikes in non-battlefield settings such as Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, and Somalia. But Trump is already surpassing Obama's record.

Mark Hamill is here to rescue your weekend with some good old-fashioned nostalgia. The "Star Wars" actor shared a photo Saturday morning of himself as a young Luke Skywalker posing in the Tatooine desert on the first day of filming "Star Wars: Episode IV -- A New Hope." He stands with his hands folded across his heart. "Taken in Tunisia early morning day [number one] waiting for my [first] shot (emerging from home for robot auction)," he wrote. Hamill has played Skywalker since 1977's "A New Hope," the first installation in the Star Wars movie franchise.

In her SXSW session, titled Dark Days: AI and the Rise of Fascism, Crawford, who studies the social impact of machine learning and large-scale data systems, explained ways that automated systems and their encoded biases can be misused, particularly when they fall into the wrong hands. "Just as we are seeing a step function increase in the spread of AI, something else is happening: the rise of ultra-nationalism, rightwing authoritarianism and fascism," she said. All of these movements have shared characteristics, including the desire to centralize power, track populations, demonize outsiders and claim authority and neutrality without being accountable. Machine intelligence can be a powerful part of the power playbook, she said. One of the key problems with artificial intelligence is that it is often invisibly coded with human biases.

There was a point in time when brands were the aspiration, but in our new world, brands have become entirely subservient to people. The explosion in data availability and advances in AI are changing the relationship brands have with their customers. In the past, deregulation and access to marketing tools gave way for the proliferation of commoditized services. A hyper-competitive world, where choice is abundant, was born. Surviving meant optimizing quality for a lower cost.

Geneva, March 7th - Goodyear has revealed its long-term vision for future smart, connected tires. In an evolving mobility ecosystem defined by the transition to driverless vehicles and shared mobility in urban centers, Goodyear aims to revolutionize the interaction between tires, vehicles and their surroundings. Goodyear unveiled the Eagle 360 Urban, its latest concept tire, at the Geneva International Motor Show. This 3-D printed sphere is the first concept tire to be powered by Artificial Intelligence and able to sense, decide, transform and interact. "A revolution will take place at the intersection of autonomy, mobility and connectivity. As this unfolds, tire technology will be even more important than it is today. To safely navigate their surroundings, the autonomous vehicles of the future will need to learn to cope with the millions of possible unknowns we face in every day driving scenarios. To do so they will need access to data and the ability to learn and adapt," said Jean-Claude Kihn, president of Goodyear Europe, Middle East and Africa.

What will shopping be like in 10 years? No one knows all the details (that's exciting!), but one thing is for sure: it will be very different than it is today. History is clear about that. In the mid-19th century, most people in the US were shopping at small markets. They would tell the manager what they wanted, and then wait for the item to be retrieved from the back or from the supplier.

The US Navy is calling on gamers to help it plan for and deal with the Singularity and the possible rise of highly capable, "greater-than-human" artificial intelligence. The technological singularity hypothesizes that the invention of artificial superintelligence will trigger a runway effect that will alter human civilization. Some experts predict the singularity will happen within the next few decades. To address the issue of the singularity and prep for a post-singularity future, the US Navy is launching a week-long, browser-based multiplayer online game to crowdsource ideas for dealing with the Singularity. "Technology has advanced to the point that we can see the Singularity on the horizon," Dr. Eric Gulovsen, director of disruptive technology at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) said in a statement.

Located at the mouth of the River Plate, Argentina's capital Buenos Aires is subject to torrential rain. With an ageing infrastructure and nine subterranean rivers, the deluge can turn into floods. Clogged drains have been responsible for property damage, even lost lives. To track water flow the city has installed sensors across the sewage system, measuring speed and level of water. This information is combined with weather data and even garbage vehicle sensors.

If you're keeping score of who is pursuing the hottest trends in technology, don't overlook Salesforce. As part of Salesforce's Spring '17 celebration this week, the company announced the general availability of Einstein, which is Salesforce's core AI engine. It's something the company has been talking about for many months. Salesforce also introduced Einstein Vision, a set of new APIs that helps developers of all sizes "build AI-powered apps fast." This includes apps that leverage vast troves of images including photos and graphics.
