The D3000's closest international counterpart is the Sea Hunter, built for DARPA's ACTUV anti-submarine program. The 131-foot, 145 ton Sea Hunter has a speed of only 27 knots, but that's fine because it's conceived as a test ship for future unmanned operations. Conceptually, the Sea Hunter and its follow-ons would also take on roles like tracking enemy submarines and mine detection, as opposed to antiship role reflected the D3000 concept. Of course, there's nothing from stopping China from building its own sub-hunting robotic warships to make up for its historical anti-submarine warfare weakness. That China is already pitching a large robotic warship for export--and from a vendor not typically known for such offerings--suggests a high degree of confidence in the global competitiveness of the country's unmanned naval technologies.

In our high-vocational stress household, the most volcanic tension usually erupts over control of the PlayStation. I'm still – still – absorbed in the game of Fallout 4 I started a year ago, with thousands of hours spent on perfecting the aesthetics of post-apocalyptic settlement-building. My partner prefers a wordless immersion in the splattery worlds of first-person shooters and war games but we reconcile over rounds of two-player Diablo, fighting demons and hoarding treasure together. I've come a long way from the handheld Donkey Kong I cherished as a child, or the Pitfall caves I explored on a home PC, or the small parties of teens that gathered to play Sonic the Hedgehog on the loungeroom TV. The demands of fun are more complex now – but the need for fun remains the same.

Artificial intelligence is the new hot trend in China and JD.com seems to be on its way to join BAT in the AI game. JD believes that AI technology will determine its success or failure in future retail competition, according to a report from Caijing (in Chinese). The new direction is illustrated by the latest share acquisition by Jindong Jinquan, a JD affiliated company owned by Zhang Pang, assistant to JD founder and CEO Liu Qiangdong or Richard Liu. The company in question is CSG Smart Science and Technology (科大智能) which develops smart manufacturing solutions, robotics, and new energy solutions. After suspending trade at the start of August, CSG announced its asset restructuring plan on Thursday revealing that it plans to raise RMB 600 million of funds by offering Jindong Jingquan and Hongzhao Capital shares by private placement.

Cultural pundits can close the book on 2017: The biggest artistic achievement of the year has already taken place. It didn't happen in a paint-splattered studio on the outskirts of Beijing, Singapore, or Berlin. It didn't happen at the Venice Biennale. It happened in New Brunswick, New Jersey, just off Exit 9 on the Turnpike. Nobody would mistake this place as an incubator for fine art.

Vladimir Putin has expressed his fears over artificial intelligence by asking Russia's largest technology firm how long it will be until smart robots'eat us'. The Russian president was speaking to Arkady Volozh, chief of internet firm Yandex, during a tour of the company's Moscow headquarters. Volozh was discussing the potential of AI when Putin caused surprise by asking when the technology will'eat us'. The Russian president was speaking to Arkady Volozh, chief of internet firm Yandex, during a tour at the company's Moscow headquarters. He replied: 'I hope never.' After a pause, he then explained that other machines are'better than humans' in certain areas, giving the example of an excavator being better at digging than a person with a shovel.

Innovative technologies including 5G, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and the Internet of Things (IoT) featured prominently today as the doors opened for ITU Telecom World 2017, an international platform for accelerating information and communication technology (ICT) innovations and partnerships. The event runs 25-28 September and aims to fast-track economic development and social good through its forum for sharing knowledge, exhibition for digital solutions, and business networking hub connecting nations, companies, organizations and individuals. It is organized annually by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations' specialized agency for ICT-related issues. Participants include exhibitors bringing with them the smartest ideas and entrepreneurial spirit of digital start-ups and ICT small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as governments, regulators, industry leaders, consultants and experts from emerging and developed markets around the world. The event was launched with a high-level opening ceremony featuring a live orchestra and traditional dance performance from Busan National Gukak Centre, and a video message delivered by Moon Jae-in, President of the Republic of Korea.

Switching to efficient artificial intelligence systems has already saved Google a ton of money on its energy bills. And, it seems machine learning may also pose monetary benefits (of a different kind) for electricity providers. With power theft costing the industry roughly $96 billion in losses per year, companies could start looking to AI to help identify pilferers. A team from the University of Luxembourg has developed an algorithm that sifts through electricity meter data to detect abnormal usage. They put the system to work on info compiled from 3.6 million Brazilian households over the course of five years.

At the recent IoT Asia trade event in Singapore, attendees were questioned how far they would go to create a live "internet-ready human being". Could this be a budding harbinger of the next wave of Internet of Things (IoT)-driven digital disruption? The use of smart machines, which encompass cognitive computing, artificial intelligence, intelligent automation, machine learning and deep learning, is poised to profoundly transform as well as disrupt the way work is done and how value is created in the enterprise, according to Susan Tan, research vice president at Gartner. Smart machines, which will be adopted by 30% of large companies by 2021, will have broad applicability in all industries, from dynamic pricing models and fraud detection, to predictive policing and robotics, Tan added. Hence, business and technology leaders who understand and harness the evolving synergistic relationships between humans and machines will be well positioned to restructure jobs and acquire the talent needed for success.

In the long view of history, North Korea getting a nuclear-tipped intercontinental missile in 2017 is the rough equivalent of an army showing up for World War II riding horses and shooting muskets. Nukes are so last century. War is changing, driven by cyberweapons, artificial intelligence (AI) and robots. Weapons of mass destruction are dumb, soon to be whipped by smart weapons of pinpoint disruption--which nations can use without risking annihilation of the human race. If the U.S. is innovative and forward-thinking, it can develop technology that ensures no ill-behaving government could ever get a nuke off the ground.
