Devon and Cornwall Police are set to launch the first 24-hour drone unit in the UK. It plans to assist officers with unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with cameras from this summer. They'll be used to help officers with investigations, by searching for missing people and taking photographs of crime scenes, for instance. Devon and Cornwall Police, which started trialling the system with a small number of DJI Inspire 1 drones in November 2015, will share the unit with Dorset. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.

Diane Greene, senior vice president of cloud services at Google Inc., speaks at Cloud Next '17 in front of an image of the company's data centers. In a world in which not a day goes by without another massive data breach or government hacking revelation, it was noteworthy to see how much Google emphasized security at its Next '17 cloud conference this month, making it an ever-present theme throughout its keynotes and product announcements. From the physical security of its data centers to its custom Titan TPM chip and its army of security engineers on through its customer-facing solutions like instant two factor authentication, new testing tools and its new DLP API, Google made security, specifically seamless security, a center point of its conference. Cybersecurity starts with physical security and Google appears to have made heavy investments here. In addition to the myriad surveillance cameras, motion sensors and iris scanners Google has previously touted (along with metal detectors to ensure equipment does not leave the data center floor without authorization), Google added that a single one of its data centers employs more than 175 physical security guards.

HRjobs: Asia's only regional recruitment website 100% dedicated to HR jobs. Just this weekend, automotive company Ford made headlines for investing US$1 billion during the next five years in Argo AI, an artificial intelligence company. Artifical intelligence, safe to say, is taking over all facets of marketing today – from streamlining process, injecting creativity, decoding the consumer behaviour and of course, decoding data. While just a few years ago, data scientists were deemed to be the coolest kids on the block, today it seems they too are fast being replaced. Today, there are still amongst us, brands which have expended great lengths to gather data, who do not yet know what the next step is.

Video monitoring systems for traffic have been in use since the mid- 1960s, initially pioneered by Israel and the Netherlands in order to capture motorists violating traffic light regulations. But they would have been very differently-designed if computer evaluation, rather than human monitoring, had been anticipated – a problem which researchers from Carnegie Mellon are currently tackling. The sheer scale and maturity of urban traffic-monitoring systems, many of which hail back to the 1980s, are a tantalising prospect for AI in terms of generating usable data about traffic flow, but are predicated on'common sense' – currently an elusive goal for machine learning, even in terms of widely-agreed definition. In the paper Understanding Traffic Density from Large-Scale Web Camera Data four researchers consider what Fully Convolutional Networks (FCNs) might be able to achieve in terms of leveraging all this extant, live data without the need to invest in expensive and experimental new monitoring systems. City-wide traffic camera networks were originally developed as tools for municipal traffic authorities to make rough estimations of congestion, and to be apprised of serious blockages such as road accidents; any traffic flow data emerging from their use would be purely anecdotal – impossibly expensive or complicated to rationalise and analyse scientifically.

Despite being just the size of an insect, tiny military weapons being developed by the military have the incredible power of hundreds of tons of TNT. In a new book, Louis del Monte, a physicist from Minnesora warns that these tiny weapons - dubbed'nanoweapons' - could lead to the most destructive world war yet which could spell the end for humanity. And this isn't just a long-term worry, as Mr del Monte has warned that the tiny weapons could render humans extinct by the end of the century. Nanoweapons have a 1 in 20 chance of causing human extinction by the end of this century. Terrorists could get their hands on nanoweapons through the black market as early as 2020.

Facebook is developing at least four new consumer products that could be revealed at an April event, according to a new report. The social network last year launched a futuristic hardware division called Building 8, which is said to be similar to Google X, the experimental lab behind the search company's self-driving cars. One of the prototypes created by Building 8 is a "brain computer interface" that sounds a lot like a platform once hinted at by Mark Zuckerberg, which would allow users to share information telepathically.

A prank designed to trick iPhone users into calling emergency services is currently spreading online. Owners of Apple products are being encouraged to say '108' to Siri, unaware of the consequences. As 108 is the equivalent of 999 in India, the digital assistant will recognise it as a command to contact emergency services in the phone user's local area.

Medical supplies and equipment based on artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic technology will dominate the global health care sector in the future, industry watchers said Sunday. The remarks were made during the Korea International Medical Clinical Laboratories and Hospital Equipment Show (KIMES) at the Convention and Exhibition Center (COEX) in southern Seoul where nearly 1,300 medical instrument manufacturers from both home and abroad showcased their latest medical technologies and products. Photo from'KIMES 2017' (Yonhap) The annual event, the 33rd of its kind, is hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The ministry said the goal of the event is to navigate the future of the global health care industry, which is largely seen as the next new growth engine. Global IT giant IBM Corp. showcased its AI-based supercomputer called "Watson" that can diagnose and treat cancer, one of the leading causes of the death in the world.

YouTube has admitted that it hides some LGBTQ videos on its side. The Google-owned video company offers a "restricted mode" that aims to "screen out potentially objectionable content". But a number of prominent YouTubers noticed that LGBTQ videos appeared to be hidden as part of that rule – provoking huge protests. Now YouTube has admitted that such videos are being hidden, but says that it only does so to ensure that people don't see videos that deal with "more sensitive issues".

Donald Trump's presidency got off to a bloody start in January, when a special operations forces raid against al-Qaeda in Yemen killed numerous civilians and a US Navy SEAL. The raid was a disaster, but it did not deter the US from launching more attacks using drones and other weapons platforms. In one week earlier this month, the Trump administration conducted about 40 strikes in Yemen, including 25 on a single day. Added to that, there was a drone attack in Pakistan, the first in the country since May 2016. Barack Obama was much criticised for his dramatic escalation of drone strikes in non-battlefield settings such as Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, and Somalia. But Trump is already surpassing Obama's record.
