The government plans to propose basic rules for the research and development of artificial intelligence at a Group of Seven meeting of ministers in charge of information and communication technology later this month, sources said Friday. The envisioned proposal is expected to seek the establishment of eight principles, including the importance of respecting human dignity and protecting privacy when developing computer science that gives machines humanlike intelligence. Internal Affairs and Communications Minister Sanae Takaichi is expected to present the eight principles at the two-day G-7 meeting starting on April 29 in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, and call for deeper discussions involving international organizations such as the OECD. Artificial intelligence has advanced to the point where Google's AI program AlphaGo was recently able to defeat a Go grandmaster for the first time. AI technologies are expected to generate an economic return of around 121 trillion in Japan by 2045, according to an estimate that the government plans to present to the G-7 meeting.

Watching 3D films is already an immersive experience but a new projector promises to make it more of a physical activity too. XGIMI's Z4 Aurora projector features sensors that detect movement, allowing users to turn up the volume with a twirl of a finger or skip forward or backwards with the wave of a hand. The device features built-in Harman Kardon speakers to produce stereo quality sound and can stream movies sent to it from your phone or laptop using AirPlay and Miracast. The Z4 Aurora (pictured) claims to be the world's first gesture-controlled projector with a built in stereo. China-based XGIMI has designed the projector so it looks more like a turntable, meaning it can blend in more easily in the average living room.

Chatbots are on the rise, but what are they and why is everyone talking about (and to) them? Facebook has just rolled out support for bots on its Messenger platform. Meanwhile, Microsoft has described chatbots as the "new apps" with chief executive Satya Nadella saying that they "unlock conversation as a platform". The BBC "created" its own one-off chatbot to answer some of the burning questions you may have about this latest technology. What can I help you with Jane?

With technology pioneers Facebook and Microsoft both throwing their multibillion hats into the chatbot ring, it is safe to say the dawn of the bot is upon us. But "what is a chatbot?" we hear you confusedly cry. Well, you're going to hear a lot of noise about them and while the name might explain a lot, let us clear up the many unanswered questions of what they're for, how they work and whether they're the harbinger of the inevitable robopocalypse. In basic terms, a chatbot is a rudimentary form of artificial intelligence software that can converse with humans to answer questions or simply natter to us in as lifelike a manner as possible. The scope and complexity of a chatbot is determined by the creator's algorithmic aptitude.

We hear about AI taking over our jobs. We hear about AI listening in on our conversations. We hear about AI becoming a substitute for our romantic partners. Here's what the real AI experts Guru Banavar, (IBM), Toby Walsh, (The University of New South Wales), and Roman Yampolskiy (University of Louisville), say about the subject, and why a lot of what you think you know is probably wrong. In 2015, GE inaugurated a new, Multi-Modal manufacturing facility in Chakan, India.

For artificial intelligence, 2016 has been called "like 2015 on steroids." Want to learn more about what that really means? Follow these 10 twitter users for an insider's take on the latest developments in AI. The brains behind Google's AI platform DeepMind, Hassabis is arguably one of the most important voices in the AI world today. AlphaGo, created by DeepMind, has surpassed expectations, winning in the game of Go ten years before experts predicted.

Advertising and media are often at the forefront of new technology, and we have already seen augmented reality platforms showing content in the real world and a virtual reality advertising network for brands. Now an artificial intelligence robot, AI-CD?, developed by Japanese advertising and marketing agency McCann Japan, is set to work on providing new creative direction for commercials. The AI will give input on projects, mining and analyzing creative databases of adverts to find the best commercials for products and messages. But the robot is also being treated as somewhat part of the team at McCann, taking the title of "creative director" and attending the opening ceremony for new company employees. McCann Japan CEO Yasuyuki Katagi said: "Artificial intelligence is already being used to create a wide variety of entertainment, including music, movies, and TV drama, so we're very enthusiastic about the potential of AI-CD? The whole company is 100 percent on board to support the development of our AI employee."
