Nazi and other extremist groups are congregating on Google Plus following a crack down by other social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Google acknowledged the issue by saying it had "more to do" in order to properly address it and had put dedicated teams in place to do so. A Google spokesperson told The Independent: "We have clear policies against violent content as well as content from known terrorist organisations and when we find violations, we take swift action." They added: "We have a team dedicated to keeping violent content and hate speech off our platforms, including Google . And while we recognise we have more to do, we're committed to getting this right."

These are the findings of the automatica Trend Index 2018. In this context 1,000 employees in the UK were surveyed in a representative study of the population by a market research institute on behalf of automatica, the world's leading trade fair for robotics and automation. "Developments in AI mean we can expect robots to perform increasingly effectively as human assistants," says Junji Tsuda, President of the International Federation of Robotics.

Apple Maps down: iPhone directions not working as people can't get around app Apple Maps has stopped working, stopping people from getting around. The maps themselves are actually loading, and the app will look normal initially. But then it becomes clear it can't be used: getting any kinds of directions will bring up an error message. "Directions not available," the text reads. "Route information is not available at the moment."

DISCOVERING and harnessing fire unlocked more nutrition from food, feeding the bigger brains and bodies that are the hallmarks of modern humans. Google's chief executive, Sundar Pichai, thinks his company's development of artificial intelligence trumps that. "AI is one of the most important things that humanity is working on," he told an event in California earlier this year. "It's more profound than, I don't know, electricity or fire." Hyperbolic analogies aside, Google's AI techniques are becoming more powerful and more important to its business.

Facial recognition technology used by the UK police is making thousands of mistakes - and now there could be legal repercussions. Civil liberties group, Big Brother Watch, has teamed up with Baroness Jenny Jones to ask the government and the Met to stop using the technology. They claim the use of facial recognition has proven to be'dangerously authoritarian', inaccurate and a breach if rights protecting privacy and freedom of expression. If their request is rejected, the group says it will take the case to court in what will be the first legal challenge of its kind. South Wales Police, London's Met and Leicestershire are all trialling automated facial recognition systems in public places to identify wanted criminals.

Connecterra, a Dutch sensor hardware and machine learning firm based in Amsterdam, Netherland, has used motion sensors and AI tools with the aim of studying cow's behavior. The company's "The Intelligent Dairy Farmer's Assistant" is now in the US following effective deployment in European countries for many years. The AI program works on data collected from motion sensors fixed on the animal's neck to study its activity. The inputs, when associated repetitively with practical data about the cow's behavior, allows the Intelligent Dairy Farmer's Assistant to tell from just data about the needs of the animal. Using such data, it will be easy to tell when a cow has become sick or is ready for mating.

Today, it is no longer a question of adopting AI or not. Instead, ask yourself if you and your sales team are ready for the inevitable. Artificial intelligence for business is a reality. If your goal is to forge ahead and lead in your field, then you need to adapt to a workplace where AI plays a crucial role. As J.J. Kardwell, founder and CEO of predictive marketing software company EverString, puts it: "Growth-focused sales organizations of every size and stage cannot afford to ignore the benefits of AI-assisted sales."

Keita Takahashi is an unusual video game designer. His breakout hit, Katamari Damacy, was about picking up objects with an increasingly large, sticky ball. He then made Noby Noby Boy, a game about a colorful, worm-like creature that can stretch around animals, houses and planets. Now, the artist is working on Wattam, a light-hearted puzzle game about a little green mayor and his quest to find a group of long-lost friends. At E3 2018, I played a brief demo with Takahashi as my helpful guide.

Donald Trump has slapped a 25 percent tariff on $50 billion worth of Chinese goods, significantly ramping up trade tensions between the nations. The tariff applies to "industrially significant" goods in sectors like aerospace, information tech, robotics and machinery, but not on consumer goods like smartphones or TVs. "The United States can no longer tolerate losing our technology and intellectual property through unfair economic practices," Trump said in a statement. China responded immediately, saying it will impose comparable taxes on US goods, despite threats from Trump that such a move would results in further retaliatory measures. It also considers all previous trade negotiation gains to be null and void. "China is unwilling to have a trade war, but the Chinese side has no choice but to strongly oppose this, due to the United States' myopic behavior that will harm both parties," said China's commerce department in a statement.

A group of German computer scientists has developed a sophisticated software that uses artificial intelligence to "look" into the future. While sci-fi movies have painted "looking into the future" as a situation in which a piece of technology could exactly reveal what is going to happen, the reality is different and revolves more around action anticipation – analyzing a chain of events to predict an upcoming move well in advance. The idea is pretty similar to how predictive text system on phone recognizes writing pattern to suggest what words you are going type next or how we humans can tell what is going to happen next after seeing first few steps of an activity we already know. This sounds pretty simple to us, but for machines, learning such an ability is relatively complicated. Most systems of this kind have predicted only a few seconds of future activity to date.
