Now, financial markets are not likely to care too much about the developing "Korean Situation." The impact of geopolitics on markets is still limited because investors do not price in extreme "tail risks" yet. Humans are genetically programmed to be optimistic about life and investors are still "most of the time" human, not, let's say robots. Investors that react as pure humans to so-called tail risks could become less and less the case because of the venue of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into our lives, notwithstanding we should expect that only to happen at a relatively "still" slow progressing pace. I personally have no doubt that "Change Is Coming" because of "AI" where professionals and those who have the means to use it will come first.

Pupils have class equipped with electronic devices. The comprehensive report on Internet-based education in China discussed practices and development trends in online education, both in schools and for self-motivated learners in society. It said the overall Internet-based learning index was 3.61 out of five, with online learners scoring lower in metrics measuring their information literacy. It also showed teachers are calling for better equipment and services to support the integration of IT with education. The report mentioned more efforts are needed to make online education universal and accessible through training and publicity.

At Google, the notion of "20% time" allows employees to focus on side-projects that can evolve into new passions or products at the company. Many Google products, from Gmail to Maps to AdSense, came from this concept of "20% time." Some people quip that that the other name for "20% time" might be, "Saturday." But joking aside, at Google there is an institutional investment allowing employees to pursue their curiosities and peripheral interests, a way of providing a check and balance to the overbearing manager who asks for a very narrow focus. "I'll give you 100% of my 80% time," you can reply.

Future Tense is a partnership of Slate, New America, and Arizona State University that examines emerging technologies, public policy, and society. Police in China have nabbed three fugitives using facial-recognition technology at a series of concerts in Eastern China, the Wall Street Journal reports. Police have employed the surveillance tool over the past two months at performances by Hong Kong pop star Jacky Cheung, also known by his nicknames "God of Songs" and, more recently, "The Nemesis of Fugitives." In one case, police were able to use a facial-recognition system to identify a 31-year-old man in a crowd of 60,000 concertgoers, according to state media. In another, the technology recognized a man who allegedly failed to pay for $17,000 worth of potatoes in 2015 and had since then been living under a pseudonym.

Hundreds of languages, from English to Hindustani, are all derived from a single ancestral tongue. Now DNA from ancient bones suggests that the people who spoke this ancient language lived somewhere south of the Caucasus mountains in western Asia. Languages evolve and diversify, much like biological species. Today, about 3 billion people today speak an Indo-European language, such as English, Spanish, Hindustani and Nepali. All these languages are descended from a single common ancestor.

Nintendo could be set to bring back one of its most iconic game consoles - the Nintendo 64. The company has filed for new trademarks in its native Japan, indicating a resurrection could be on the cards. A release of a mini-N64 would follow in the footsteps of the NES Classic and the Super NES that were reinvented in miniature last year. Nintendo could be set to bring back one of its most iconic game consoles - the Nintendo 64 (pictured). Last year, Nintendo released a modern and miniaturised version of the NES console, said to be one of the'greatest video game systems ever made,' and gamers snapped them up.

Conversely, #China has become a global leader in the field.

"Shaping the Future of Manufacturing" revolves around IOT, Advanced Robotics and AI. World Manufacturing Convention - 2018 is back with the new edition at Hefei Convention and Exhibition Center, China.

A team of researchers in Japan has managed to recreate a tiny portion of a human brain, piece by piece, with more precision that ever before. The team connected networks of neurons, the pathways along which information travels through our brains, with remarkable accuracy. It could be the first step toward the creation of brains in the lab that mirror our own - although millions of connecting neurons are needed to perform even basic tasks. Networks of neurons, the pathways along which information travels through our brains, have been created in the lab with more precision than ever before. Researchers from the University of Tokyo examined how neurons behave and found that they could be trained to join with one another using a'synthetic neuron-adhesive material', what they call their microscopic plates.

Amazon has defended giving its Big Brother-style facial recognition tool to police following an outcry from civil rights groups. The response comes just hours after it emerged Amazon's facial recognition tool, dubbed'Rekognition', is being used by law enforcement agencies in Oregon and Florida. However, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) warns Rekognition could be misused to identify and track innocent people in real-time. It claims the software guide for the AI'reads like a user manual for authoritarian surveillance'. But Amazon said'quality of life would be much worse' if technologies such as this were blocked because of fears they may be misused.
