A newly launched AI Global Governance commission (AIGG), tasked with forming links with politicians and governments around the world to help develop and harmonise rules on the use of AI, has suggested that at least one key regulation should be that any decisions made by an AI system'must be tracked back to a person or an organisation'. Although the view was only the early product of meetings yesterday ahead of the AIGG launch event, which is backed by the UK Parliament's APPG AI group and the Big Innovation Centre, it could become something of a standard ethical line for the many legal projects now developing in this area. Earlier this month the Law Society launched its own Public Policy Commission on Algorithms and Justice, for example, one of several AI ethics initiatives around the world. Ensuring that any algorithmic decision is traceable and can be tracked back to a person or organisation could provide society with a greater sense that at least someone is responsible for the actions of an automated system, and that important decisions were not being made in a regulatory vacuum and without any recourse for legal action against a party that caused harm to another. In fact, one could argue that not being able to assign responsibility to the actions of an algorithm would in effect undermine the justice system and put AI's outputs on a par with'an act of nature', i.e. beyond the ability of society to apply rules. The AIGG meeting also stressed that regulators needed to move a lot faster than they are, nationally and globally, because AI technology and its use was now moving a lot faster in terms of its development and actual use in society.

BALI, INDONESIA - JUNE 29: Mount Agung erupts on June 29 emerging volcanic dust continually leading to its alert level, in Lempuyangan area, Karang Asem, Bali, Indonesia on June 29, 2018. A team of scientists have developed a neural network to diagnose volcanic eruptions -- and it has bigger implications than you might expect. Computer vision is finding its way into everything these days -- from Facebook's implementation of new facial recognition features to Amazon's retail tracking to Google's major announcements at I/O 2018. And for good reason: we increasingly live in a visual world, and with the rise of augmented reality as a computing platform, having algorithms that understand the world around us will be pivotal for making something like AR truly valuable for everyday users. But computer vision can also be used to understand natural disasters.

Board games aren't quite as sexy as their digital counterparts, but the hobby has nevertheless seen a resurgence in recent years. NPD Group reported that board game sales in the U.S. grew by 28 percent in 2016, cafes dedicated to the hobby are cropping up all over the country (and the world), and three out of the top ten most-funded projects on Kickstarter are tabletop games. Much of this can be attributed not just to the increased desire for real-life social interaction, but the rise of good-quality titles that are far superior to outdated classics like Monopoly and Candyland. But there is one problem with all of these new and exciting games: You need to learn how to play them. Unlike video games, which you can figure out by jumping into a tutorial and pressing a few buttons, tabletop versions often require you to read the instructions.

SEATTLE, WA - JANUARY 22: Shoppers enter and check out with purchases at the Amazon Go in Seattle, Washington. After more than a year in beta Amazon opened the cashier-less store to the public. Microsoft is working on autonomous-checkout technologies that could help retailers compete with Amazon's cashier-less stores. Sources told Reuters that, in tests, Microsoft is attaching cameras to shopping carts in order to track purchases as customers walk stores. Amazon Go's system requires that hundreds of cameras be installed in store ceilings.

Their work is published in Science. Cell sorting is a technique used in laboratories to separate complex mixtures of cells into their component cell types. Because certain cell types are very similar in size and shape, existing cell sorting methods may struggle with distinguishing one group of cells from another. In the present study, scientists at the University of Tokyo have invented a new cell identification and sorting system called ghost cytometry. In ghost cytometry, cells flow one at a time though a narrow channel underneath a single-pixel detector camera that senses the fluorescent light waves emitted by each cell.

As part of his four-nation Asia tour, President Obama has visited students at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo where he was welcomed by a humanoid robot.

We have a tendency to anthropomorphise technology. We name cars, boats, and sometimes even washing machines. We humanise technical actors in our world and give them human characteristics -- fussy, moody, happy, sad. And when it comes to gender, this counts. It counts because it both reflects current social norms and can in part shape how we view gender moving forward.

'Insider Threat' is a formidable risk to business because it threatens both customer and employee trust. Accidental or malicious misuse of a firm's most sensitive and valuable data can result in customer identity theft, financial fraud, intellectual property theft, or damage to infrastructure. Because insiders have privileged access to data in order to do their jobs, it's usually quite difficult for security professionals to detect suspicious activity; a process even more challenging to automate (and deploy at scale across the large organisations that most need it) as – so I will suggest – computers fundamentally lack semantic understanding of the meaning of the'bits' they so adroitly process. Conversely, in this talk I will outline a new approach to'Insider Threat' detection that draws inspiration from the Traffic Analysis' of encrypted Axis signal traffic' undertaken at Bletchley Park in WW2. A novel approach that (i) conceives companies as complex autonomous autopoietic entities and (ii) deploys state of art computational analysis of the communication flows that so define the company to flag potentially aberrant employee behaviour; intelligence that can be leveraged to help detect HR problematics before they arise.

Kamikaze drones fired from bazooka-like launchers are helping the US military hunt down and destroy lethal enemy drones with deadly precision. The interceptor craft crash into drones to take them down mid-flight and may even carry an explosive charge to bolster their destructive power. They form part of a new weapon system presented at the Pentagon earlier this month that deals specifically with the threat of attacks using shop-bought drones. The system, which can be mounted to an off-road vehicle, also features advanced radar technology and a computer-powered machine-gun. Kamikaze drones fired from bazooka-like launchers could help the US military hunt down and destroy enemy drones.
