Back in 2016, Sony introduced a new smart light that had humidity, motion, luminance and temperature detectors, along with an infrared controller, memory card slot, microphone and speaker. It really was the light that could do it all, and it's very customizable, meaning you can program it to do pretty much whatever you want it to. Since then, Sony has announced more integrations for the Multifunctional Light. Now, the company has announced that it's compatible with Google Assistant. The updates will start rolling out tomorrow, August 22nd.

All of China's 1.4 billion citizens are about to be put under greater scrutiny as the country prepares to launch its'social credit score' scheme. The project rates citizens based on their behaviour, and those who do not play by the rules are added to a list that prohibits them from certain luxuries. Fears are growing regarding the ethical implications of scheme, with some questioning the morality of the big-brother culture. The government is likely to use its rapidly growing surveillance network to enforce the system, with some academics growing concerned that it may be manipulated to enforce the ideology of the ruling Communist party. Completing community service and buying Chinese products is thought to improve it whereas fraud, tax evasion and smoking in non-smoking areas can drop it.

Apple is to launch two new computers alongside the upcoming release of its new iPhones, according to a new report. The company could update just about every single one of its devices this autumn, if the new report from Bloomberg comes true. As well as the expected new versions of the iPhone and iPad, the company will also release a cheaper laptop and may finally update its Mac Mini, the small and separate computer that has gone largely neglected in its line-up for years. One of the new computers will be a cheaper laptop, intended to update the MacBook Air line. It will look similar to that laptop but have thinner bezels around the edges of the screen, which in turn will be a far more detailed display that finally performs in line with Apple's Retina Display screens. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

Is artificial intelligence (AI) a panacea to make work and life nearly effortless – or the first step to a nightmare scenario of self-aware machines? There's been both ballyhoo and angst over the prospects of AI, including some that think AI poses a risk to the "existence of human civilization." On the other hand, senior military and national security leaders have asserted that to not pursue AI is the real existential threat, as it can put the country at risk from other nations that don't share the need for caution. With apologies to those who fear the worst, federal and SLED governments have come down squarely on the side of vigorously pursuing artificial intelligence. Companies that sell storage solutions, automation, big data, security and data mining tools should be encouraged by all the buzz going on in government about AI.

Getting a foothold in the Chinese market is a dream for any business. But keep in mind that, in the age of A.I., businesses that can use machine and deep learning techniques to mine, refine, and make products from data culled from all areas of operation--from customer service to employee productivity--will gain a big edge. And access to the Chinese market for U.S. startups comes at a steep price: their business data. With that, and the data from China's almost 1.4 billion citizens, the BAT could soon command what's perhaps our most valuable resource--human data--without the privacy and security restrictions common in much of the rest of the world. In other words: If data is the new oil, China is the new OPEC. It will soon wield tremendous influence in global digital commerce, autonomous vehicles, and a renewed race to outer space.

We live in a world that's increasingly controlled by what might be called "the algorithmic gaze." As we cede more decision-making power to machines in domains like health care, transportation, and security, the world as seen by computers becomes the dominant reality. If a facial recognition system doesn't recognize the color of your skin, for example, it won't acknowledge your existence. If a self-driving car can't see you walk across the road, it'll drive right through you. That's the algorithmic gaze in action.

Russia's most famous weapons manufacturer has unveiled a 13ft tall walking killer robot operated by pilots who sit inside it. Kalashnikov Concern presented the state-of-the-art bulletproof robot along with utility vehicles and new assault rifles at the Army 2018 fair at the Patriot Park just outside Moscow. The gold robot, called Igorek, is still in development and its creators do not wish to reveal all of its features until they have finished. So far, all that is known about the'controlled bipedal walker' is that it weighs 4.5 tonnes and can reportedly hold and move objects - including weapons - with its claws. Russia's most famous weapons manufacturer has unveiled a 13ft tall walking robot operated by pilots who sit inside it A cabin behind the robot's glass panels allows people to sit and operate the robot from inside.

Lyft has completed more than 5,000 self-driving rides through its ride-hailing app, the company said, as it aims to become a serious competitor in autonomous driving while its biggest rival, Uber, retrenches. Lyft launched its self-driving service in January in Las Vegas, where passengers can take a ride in an autonomous BMW to and from some 20 different pick-up and destination spots around the city's casino-laden Strip. The autonomous driving system is not built by Lyft, however, but by high-tech auto-parts supplier Aptiv Plc, which Lyft partnered with earlier this year. When you first get in, it's not all that different from getting into a typical Lyft, as someone is sitting in the driver's seat. But, the backup driver keeps their hands off the wheel except in situations where it's required they take over.
