It's been reported that services such as online banking have been down for some TSB customers for over a week. Many individuals and businesses will have made arrangements for the planned outage, but not for the additional time that the systems have been unavailable.

The British government and the private sector have both contributed to a £1 billion deal that seeks to place the UK at the head of the artificial intelligence industry. The deal includes almost £300 million from more than 50 technology companies, and will be coupled with 1,000 new government funded AI PhDs to help drive the UK's research expertise. It comes after the European Commission last week called for a 20 billion euro (£17bn) investment in artificial intelligence across the European Union in order to catch up with Chinese and US research. It also comes after a recent report by the House of Lords, which proposed a list of recommendations for the UK to become a global leader in AI innovation. That report concluded that the UK is uniquely positioned to shape the development of artificial intelligence, but a code of ethics is needed so it benefits mankind.

In what could have been the plot of a Hollywood heist movie, the hackers took great interest in the vast aquarium that a Las Vegas casino had installed in its lobby. The casino's owners thought that the huge fish tank was an impressive sight that helped create a classy ambience as people arrived. What they failed to realise was that the aquarium was a easy way to break into the casino's computer system, and the hackers pounced. For while the casino had protected its IT network with the usual firewalls and anti-virus software, staff forgot that the futuristic fish tank was connected to its system so that the water temperature and quality could be automatically monitored. So criminals trying to get their hands on the bank details of the casino's wealthiest gamblers were able to hack into the network via the aquarium.

If you're the guy in charge of leading Daimler--you know, the world's largest luxury carmaker, one of Europe's most important tech companies, and the inventor of the automobile--into a threatening future, it can't hurt to have a name that sounds made for a superhero. Good thing it's a guy named Wilko Stark helming CASE (that's connectivity, autonomous, shared and services, and electric mobility), which Daimler launched in 2016 to address the most promising and troubling trends under one roof. Between electrification, autonomy, car sharing, and ride hailing, the car industry is undergoing a monumental, unprecedented shift. So we sat down with Stark to hear about his plans for bringing Daimler into this future--no cape necessary. This interview has been lightly edited and condensed.

Jeremy Hunt has called for an independent review to explore how innovation and technology can be used to transform health care. The review, led by American cardiology, genetics and digital medicine expert Dr Eric Topol, will consider ways to train existing staff and the implications on the skills required of future healthcare professional. Hunt said, on Friday last week: "Every week we hear about exciting new developments surfacing in the NHS which could help provide answers to some of our greatest challenges, such as cancer or chronic illness. "These give us a glimpse of what the future of the whole NHS could be, which is why in the year of the NHS' 70th birthday I want to empower staff to offer patients modern healthcare more widely and more quickly." Topol's previous work has focused on the relationship between technology and health care. He said: "While it's hard to predict the future, we know artificial intelligence, digital medicine and genomics will have an enormous impact for improving the efficiency and precision in healthcare.

Human biases can become part of the technology people create, according to Nicos Savva, Associate Professor of Management Science and Operations at London Business School. A recent House of Lords Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence (AI) "AI in the UK: Ready, Willing and Able?" urged people using and developing AI to put ethics centre stage. The committee suggested a cross-sector AI Code, with five principles that could be applied globally including that artificial intelligence should "be developed for the common good and benefit of humanity" and should "operate on principles of intelligibility and fairness". The committee's chairman, Lord Clement-Jones, said in a statement: "The UK has a unique opportunity to shape AI positively for the public's benefit and to lead the international community in AI's ethical development, rather than passively accept its consequences." He added that "AI is not without its risks".

European research project to see how data science and other digital technologies can bolster's journalism's abilities in an era of fake news. With social media flooding us with information from multiple sources – many of which are of dubious origin – it is more important than ever that there is technology out there capable of filtering through the information to put together stories based on cold, hard facts. So it will be welcome news to newshounds in Europe – and elsewhere – that a new €3.9m European research project called Journalism and Leadership Transformation (JOLT) is to be launched to investigate technical, business, and ethical aspects of contemporary journalism. Funded for the next four years, the project will be led by Dublin City University's (DCU) Institute for Future Media and Journalism (FuJo) and will see 15 PhD researchers hired to conduct the research.

The world we live in is forever reinventing itself, with the old continuously being replaced by the new. Document management is no different. As we fast approach the dawn of artificial intelligence (AI) in this field, we are sketching out how our industry will be recreated and renewed by it. Over the next five years, AI is expected to give rise to many new possibilities such as facial recognition, driverless vehicles and talking documents. We are already witnessing miracles. Right now, if you were searching for a document on your computer, you would either need to know precisely where it was or utilise the search engine and employ simple, direct keywords.
