One apparently innocuous video can break your phone. The new video is exploiting a bug that can lead to phone's gradually slowing down until they crash. The trick – being sold as a prank – is next to impossible to avoid and people who are experiencing it might not even be aware of the fact. The video only lasts three seconds and is being shared on an app called Miaopai. But people might not know that before being subject to the attack, because all that needs to happen is someone clicks on an otherwise innocuous-looking link.

And in the next few years, it will transform every industry. Soon, self-driving cars will reduce congestion and improve road safety. AI travel agents will know your preferences and arrange every detail of your family vacation. And medical instruments will read and understand patient DNA to detect and treat early signs of cancer. Where engines made us stronger and powered the first industrial revolution, AI will make us smarter and power the next. What will make this intelligent industrial revolution possible? A new computing model -- GPU deep learning -- that enables computers to learn from data and write software that is too complex for people to code. 3. NVIDIA -- INVENTOR OF THE GPU The GPU has proven to be unbelievably effective at solving some of the most complex problems in computer science.

If you've read anything about technology in the news recently you might be inclined to think that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to take over the world, leaving us mere mortals to find new ways to earn a crust. Indeed, the plethora of new services, even turning AI into its own service (AIaaS – AI as a Service), will start to redefine the way we communicate, work, and experience the world. Google's CEO Sundar Pichai has been bold enough to say "In the long run, we're evolving in computing from a'mobile-first' to an'AI-first' world".1The There's a lot that needs to happen before AI can automate entire professions, and we're seeing research that shows that jobs requiring human interaction (thankfully HR is one of these) will be the hardest to replace.2 As with any broad scale changes that affect people's livelihoods and the economies that we rely on for stability, views about the future impacts are many and varied.

The robot is designed for education and aimed at children between the ages of 4 and 12, What's On Weibo reported. After this incident, however, parents will likely think twice before leaving a kid alone with this machine. According to Mashable, a statement on the company's website said the robot has sensors to stop it from hitting things when on its own, but those were disabled when the control panel was open. Over the summer, a robot security guard at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, California, knocked over a child and injured his leg. Although Knightscope, the company that makes the robot, apologized to the family, it also insisted that the robot was actually trying to avoid the child when the two collided.

U.S.-affiliated insurance firm AIG Japan Holdings K.K. and wearable robot maker Cyberdyne Inc. have formed a business alliance in the nonlife insurance business. Under the tie-up deal announced Monday, the unit of New York-based American International Group Inc. and Cyberdyne will develop and sell nonlife insurance products for users of wearable robots for rehabilitation and work. AIG Japan will also encourage its corporate clients to promote Cyberdyne's products as a way to prevent employee injuries. Cyberdyne has already launched a joint venture with Daido Life Insurance Co. to develop new insurance policies that will cover fees for the use of its HAL robot suit used in medical treatment.

Artificial Intelligence has emerged from the realm of science fiction and become a part of the millennial way of life. The factory of the future is taking shape in Japan and it is being built on an AI platform. Here, robots will learn from each other and every robot will have an embedded GPU to perform real time AI. In 2016, AlphaGo, a computer programme from Google's Deep Mind, had a historic win over the world's most celebrated Go champion, Lee Sedol of South Korea. The same year, Microsoft achieved human parity in speech recognition.

It's been hard to ignore bots and virtual assistants lately. Google is integrating its Google Assistant into its smartphones, home devices, and Allo messaging service. Amazon's smart-home Echo device is becoming an "unlikely hit" among American households, selling an estimated 3 million devices since its launch in 2014. And, of course, every day sees a new article about a new bot service, smart messaging service, or digital virtual assistant. In the coverage of bots and AI, however, everything seems to bleed together -- AI, chatbots, personal assistants, voice control, and self-driving cars.

An ex-Apple employee who described Steve Jobs as "very difficult to work with" advised everyone to invest in even the stupidest idea. A 19-year-old who, when he was 15, discovered a cancer-detection method that would cost a patient only three cents. And an artificial intelligence system that almost instantly answers anything you throw at it. Innovation Live had it all in one busy and informative day - proving that there is no end to potential when it comes to innovating. Key figures in innovation converged in Dubai for the anchor event of UAE Innovation Week 2016, which also featured interactive sessions with industry figures and live demonstrations showing what we can expect from technology soon.

Japanese electronics maker Panasonic has invested ₹408 crore in a startup that makes a laundry folding robot called'Laundroid'. The robot uses artificial intelligence and image recognition to detect what kind of clothes are put into it, folds them, and stacks the folded clothes on the inbuilt shelves. The robot is set to launch in Japan next year.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help us in many ways: it can perform hard, dangerous or boring work for us, can help us to save lives and cope with disasters, can entertain us and make our daily life more comfortable. Advances in AI are occurring at high speed. The potential risks and problems of AI technology are filling newspapers (e.g. However, rather than being a threat to our existence or plotting to take over the rule of the world, AI is already changing our daily lives, almost entirely in ways that improve human health, safety, and productivity. In the coming years we can expect AI systems to be used increasingly in domains such as transportation, service robots, healthcare, education, low-resource communities, public safety and security, employment and workplace, and entertainment (100 Year AI report).
