Fingers jabbing towards umpires, angry words and racquet smashing are familiar sights on the tennis court. On Sunday, Britain's Johanna Konta was the latest player to vent her fury over a line call, shouting at an umpire while playing in the final of the Nature Valley Open in Nottingham: "It's an absolute joke. You're making decisions that affect our lives. Do you fully understand that?" The computer technology exists to coolly, calmly and robotically decide whether a ball was in or out on every line call - removing the need for human line judges on court - but then, where would be the fun in introducing that?

Players as young as 13 are being exposed to gambling like behaviours through video game'loot boxes', researchers say. Experts are calling on regulators to impose greater controls on the boxes which give players random digital rewards, with similar tactics to a casino. These include weapons or costumes that can be acquired through gameplay or by spending real cash. Gamers favour them because they give a competitive advantage or power and some also have the potential to be sold on for money. Young players are being exposed to gambling-like behaviours through video game'loot boxes', researchers say.

Google News is checked by millions of people on a daily basis looking for quick access to a range of coverage of a given event or issue. It was founded by software developer Krishna Bharat in 2002 in response to the scramble for news that followed the attacks on the World Trade Centre on 11 September 2001. The service collects and ranks all articles on a particular topic then making international headlines into clusters, allowing readers to choose which publication's account they read. But how does Google rank the content it shows? Rather than a physical team of news editors, Google relies on an algorithm whose methodology, like Colonel Sanders' recipe for fried chicken, is a closely guarded secret.

Obsessively playing video games could be the sign of a serious mental health issue, officials have said. Playing them compulsively now qualifies as an official mental health condition, according to the World Health Organisation. That means that the NHS must offer treatment, for instance, and may spur new research. The scourge of gaming addiction is not only damaging those who show signs of it but tearing entire families apart, experts have warned. 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.

For the first time, a robot has performed eye surgery on humans. It's success hints that in the near future robots will be performing operations that are too delicate for a human to do manually. Each of the six participants in the study needed a membrane removed from their retina to improve vision. This procedure involves cutting out a collection of cells that have clumped together, distorting what the person can see. Twelve people in total had the surgery, with half of them conducted using a robot.

YouTube has launched its music offering across the world, hoping to take on streaming services such as Spotify. The company will make YouTube Music available in the UK and 16 other countries, it has announced. The launch comes at the same time as YouTube Premium, a paid-for service that offers people videos they would not normally be able to watch. YouTube is one of the primary destinations for music streaming on the internet. It is used to listen to both official and illegitimate uploads of songs, many of which can't be found on official streaming services.

The European Commission (EC), which proposes and administers European Union (EU) law and policy, has created a new High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence, the aim of which is to advise on the crafting and implementation of the EU's strategy on artificial intelligence. Among the 52 experts are several people who work in philosophy. You can read more about the group here.

In 2017, the world witnessed a cyberattack of hideous proportions. The WannaCry ransomware attack infected hundreds of thousands of computers in more than 150 countries, throwing a wrench in the digital gears of many businesses and bringing several industries to their knees with malicious software designed to block access to files until a "ransom" was paid. One industry that was hit particularly hard was health care, including organizations such as the National Health Service (NHS) in the U.K. and Merck in the U.S. One study found that last year, 78 percent of health-care providers reported a ransomware or malware attack. And perhaps we shouldn't be surprised: Patient records are filled with valuable and private information, and ineffective cybersecurity measures make it far too easy to hold those records hostage. Health care is an easy target for malware.

Apple's new iPhone software will share its location with the emergency services. The new feature, scheduled to arrive in iOS 12 in September, should allow people calling 911 to be found far more quickly, potentially saving lives. Apple says that 80 per cent of emergency calls now come from mobile devices like its iPhones. But much of the infrastructure used to answer them is based on the landline-era – making it difficult for responders to find people when they call, despite the fact that mobile phones contain a precise way of finding and distributing their location. 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.

Marketers are exploring AI to understand what motivates and activates audiences at scale. As the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity (now in its 65th year) kicks off today, bets are high that the realization that advertising is broken and humans alone can't fix it will be top of mind among the nearly 20,000 marketers, advertisers and tech companies set to descend on the high-profile event. Indeed, there is no overlooking the numbers that underline a dangerous disconnect in what brands want to say and what people want to hear. Millions of ads are ignored every hour by consumers, record numbers are using adblocking technology to cut out unwanted noise and evidence is mounting that people crave meaningful experiences, not marketing speak. However, the work required to deliver personalization at scale--sifting through billions of data points (trillions if you count the input from the sensor networks that make up the Internet of Things)--has moved beyond human capacity.
