China's disturbing sex robot factory with dolls the size of children

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Disturbing images have emerged from inside a Chinese sex robot factory where people can order custom-made AI dolls, some of which are the size of children. The AI dolls, which cost on average $3,100 (£2,300), have soft and elastic skin made from rubbery plastic that contain less oil content than normal plastics and reportedly do not smell. The plastic is heated to 37 C to reflect a human's body temperature and developers say these perverse dolls have body sensors that also make them feel human-like. The company that makes the robots, Shenzhen Atall Intelligent Robot Technology which is based in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, says most of its clients are 40 to 50-year-old men that come from Europe and the US. Disturbing images give an insight into China's strange sex robot factory where people can order custom-made AI dolls, some of which are the size of children.

Niti Aayog And Swiss Group ABB Collaboration Aims To Benefit India On AI, Robotics And Digitization

#artificialintelligence

National Institution for Transforming India (Niti Aayog), formed via a resolution of the Union Cabinet on January 1, 2015, on Wednesday inked a pact with Swiss group ABB's Indian subsidiary ABB India to help the country reap the benefits of latest technologies including robotics and artificial intelligence towards realizing the government's ambitious vision of'Make in India' & 'Digital India' concept. The duo signed a statement of intent (SoI) and as per it, the NITI Aayog will work with ABB across various sectors to suggest solutions for digitalization, incorporating the Internet of Things (IoT) and AI technologies. They will also work with ministries, solicit feedback for areas critical to them and discuss solutions using industrial automation, and digitalization technologies. This tie up will also cover the fast growing segment of electric mobility. We are excited to partner with @NITIAayog to help India's economy benefit from the latest technologies in digitalization, artificial intelligence, robotics, and industrial automation.


A Sony Car? New CEO says he has always wanted to work on moving objects

The Japan Times

Sony Corp.'s new chief executive officer is interested in taking the electronics maker in an entirely new direction: objects that move. Kenichiro Yoshida, who took over in April, said on Wednesday that he's always wanted to work on "moving objects," adding that it's far too early to say whether Sony will enter the space. "Through our semiconductors, we're actually already a company that helps to power things that move and, to be honest, I kind of want to create things that move," Yoshida told reporters at a roundtable interview in Tokyo. "Ever since I was the chief financial officer, I asked whether we can work on a golf cart or a Roomba (IRobot's robot vacuum cleaner)." While Sony does in fact have transport-related projects, such as its SC-1 shuttle concept and a taxi-hailing alliance announced earlier this year, the Tokyo-based company has never expressed any interest manufacturing gadgets that can ferry people or are autonomous.


Chinese Drone Start-Up Simtoo Unveils A Cheaper, Lighter Alternative To DJI's Spark

Forbes - Tech

DJI is to drones what the iPad is to tablets or Kleenex is to tissues -- it's the overwhelming brand of choice. But as drone usage and interest grows, there's bound to be upstarts trying to take a piece of the pie. Most of these, naturally, are Chinese tech startups, and they have essentially decided on two approaches in their attempt to appeal to drone buyers: either make something drastically different or offer a variation on DJI's products. Shenzhen-based Simtoo is going the latter approach. I tested the company's foldable, highly portable selfie drone last year, and now it's back with an even more portable drone named the Fairy.

Dear Elon Musk: Stop spreading fake news

#artificialintelligence

Elon Musk, a billionaire playboy whose parents weren't murdered in front of him outside of a theater (yet still seems to think he's Batman), today stopped rocketing cars at the sky long enough to rage-tweet his displeasure with journalists' criticisms of Tesla. As best we can tell, it all started when Elon tweeted an article from a news source that quoted someone saying "despite" media negativity, Tesla could "rally." The holier-than-thou hypocrisy of big media companies who lay claim to the truth, but publish only enough to sugarcoat the lie, is why the public no longer respects them https://t.co/Ay2DwCOMkr It's happening, Join 15k digital minds to shape what's next for your business If the public doesn't respect us for publishing negativity towards your company, then they don't want the truth. For starters, it's time for Musk and company to reconsider the idea of calling its driver assistance technology "Autopilot."


How artificial intelligence can help transform Indian healthcare - ET HealthWorld

#artificialintelligence

New Delhi: Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are witnessing increasing adoption in the Indian healthcare setting. With a surge in non-communicable diseases and the increasing number of aging population in the country, the overall burden of disease management has been increasing year-on-year and to manage that, the government, the healthcare professionals and the healthcare institutions are looking for innovative ways. Studies have shown that deep learning algorithms have given better insights to clinicians in predicting prognosis and future events in patients. Also, advanced digital technologies like AI and ML can help in prevention as well as early detection of diseases by capturing and analysing various vitals of patients. Artificial intelligence makes it possible to access the learning and data from hundreds of thousands of patient cases.
