With the cancer vaccine scheduled to be tested in humans at the end of this year, and new AI-driven advanced detection techniques, we're getting closer than ever to winning the war against cancer. We can now predict this most dreaded disease before it occurs, and treat it with new drugs that can target the unique DNA weaknesses of that specific malignancy. Spotting cancer as early as possible is of paramount importance. If a tumor is diagnosed at an early stage, doctors can treat it with a much higher chance of success before it gets too big. The more a malignancy has spread, the lower the patient's chances of surviving.

As a result, the chief economist has called on a huge skills drive so that those who are displaced by robots in the workplace will be better equipped to find a new career when the inevitable does happen. Mr Haldane continued: "Given that the scale of job loss, job displacement is likely to be at least as large as that of the first three industrial revolutions, we will need even greater numbers of new jobs to be created in the future if we are not to suffer this longer term feature called technological unemployment. "It has not been a feature of the past, but could it possibly be a feature of the future? I think that is a much more open question than at any previous point possibly in history." He adds that the previous industrial revolutions had a "wrenching and lengthy impact on the jobs market, on the lives and livelihoods of large swathes of society."

My spine still shivers when I remember the nuclear stand-off between the Soviet Union and the United States in 1962. As a nine-year-old I felt helpless in the face of two leaders poised to push the button. It was MAD – mutually assured destruction – but sanity prevailed and by the end of the 1960s we had détente. In the decades since I have felt comfortable with the dazzling march of technology that has reduced global poverty, given us longer lives, delivered the information superhighway and created my zero-emissions Tesla. Yes, there are disappointments – the internet, for example, has not raised the calibre of conversation but instead has created echo chambers of bigotry and forums for lies and harassment. But now for the first time since the 1960s something is tickling my worry beads: artificial intelligence.

People who think an almighty deity created the world are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories, scientists have discovered. Experts found the religion or God a person believes in is irrelevant, believers are still more likely to think the moon landing was a hoax or JFK was killed by the CIA. Scientists claim the'previously unidentified' link between the two is down to a brain bias that connects unrelated events. Teleological thinkers are willing to accept statements such as'the sun rises in order to give us light' and'the purpose of bees is to ensure pollination' as true. They hope that drawing the link between the two errors in rational thinking can highlight the'major flaws of conspiracy theories'.

Nvidia revealed the boundary-pushing GeForce RTX 20-series on Monday, unleashing GeForce RTX 2070, RTX 2080, and RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards brimming with fancy new tech that promises to support fancy new gaming capabilities. Foremost among those feats is real-time ray tracing, the ultra-difficult realistic lighting technology that gives Nvidia's new cards their "RTX" moniker. The RTX cards also support Deep Learning Super-Sampling (DLSS), a fresh Nvidia super-sampling method that puts the AI tensors cores embedded within the GPUs to work. Now, we know which PC games will support them--a crucial step, since all the luxurious tech in the world means nothing if games don't actually tap into it. Both real-time ray tracing and DLSS will debut with a solid backing, as made clear by Nvidia's games partner announcement.

Reddit has stopped working completely. Visitors to the site see a message reading "our CDN was unable to reach our servers," accompanied by a picture of a sad alien. The outage comes just hours after a huge issue that took the site down completely and forced Reddit to promise to fix the problem publicly. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph. 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.

Facebook wants to revolutionise MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans. The social networking giant announced on Monday a new research project that aims to use artificial intelligence (AI) to make MRI scans up to ten times faster, and has been granted access to a trove of around 3 million anonymised MRI images from 10,000 clinical cases. In an announcement blog post, Facebook said the data it has accessed has had patient names removed, as well as "all other protected health information," and the project is compliant with HIPAA privacy regulations. The project is a collaboration between Facebook's FAIR AI research lab and NYU School of Medicine's Department of Radiology. The efforts are a major foray by Facebook into into the medical space, as it attempts to apply its experimental AI research efforts to real-world problems.

Although human intervention will occur when needed, the DeepMind system will take screenshots every five minutes to analyse where and when energy consumption levels can be reduced. DeepMind said in a recent blog post: "Even minor improvements would provide significant energy savings and reduce CO2 emissions to help combat climate change." Any necessary changes are checked for predicted energy efficiency and temperature levels, as well as any possuble safety repercussions, before being implemented. Google have reported energy savings of approximately 30% as a result of the use of DeepMind's cooling system. See also: Going green: technology's battle to save the planet The multinational search engine have been using a DeepMind cooling system for the last few months, but until this past week, the system merely offered recommendations for humans to accept or reject.

The fund embeds machine learning techniques within the investment process and will use a variety of quantitative techniques to time its investments. The investments will be based on'factor premia' - those sources of risk such as value, quality, momentum, small size and low volatility that can provide investors with persistent risk-adjusted excess returns. The Aberdeen Global Artificial Intelligence Global Equity SICAV, launched in Luxembourg, is a collaboration between Aberdeen Standard Investments' Quantitative Investment Strategies team and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust Investment Technology Institute (MTEC)/Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation in Tokyo, Japan – a centre of excellence in robotics, artificial intelligence and financial technology. Martin Gilbert, Co-CEO at Standard Life Aberdeen, said: "For active investment management firms, the ability to use machines to read and understand vast amounts of data in order to forecast market moves more accurately has spawned innovation and a resurgence in active quantitative investment approaches. "To benefit from this AI-driven innovation, and to complement our highly successful active fundamental strategies, we are proud to have collaborated with the MTEC – Japan's leading and most prestigious financial technology think-tank – and the Trust Bank to develop this active quant fund." Junichi Narikawa, president of Mitsubishi UFJ Trust Investment Technology Institute (MTEC), added: "This is the first time in MTEC's 30-year history where we have collaborated with an entity in Europe and are pleased to work with a world-class investment firm of the calibre of Aberdeen Standard Investments.
