Sweden appears to have accidentally leaked the details of almost all of its citizens. The brewing scandal – based around a leak that actually happened in 2015 but only emerged last week – could see prominent members of Sweden's government removed from their post. The leak allowed unvetted IT workers in other countries to see the details of people registered in Swedish government and police databases. It happened after the government looked to outsource data held by the Transport Agency, but did so in a way that allowed that information to be available to almost anyone, critics have claimed. 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.

Google has added a number of emergency features to Maps and Search. SOS Alerts have been developed with the aim of delivering important updates to users during major disasters. These include maps, news reports, emergency phone numbers and translations of local phrases. 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.

Artificial intelligence is slowly, but surely, showing potential in improving modern healthcare. In the UK, researchers recently used four AI algorithms that beat doctors in predicting heart attacks. Moreover, Google's DeepMind is fighting blindness with machine learning. Lately, medical science is seeing potential in the ability of AI systems to find meaning in datasets that are too complicated for us to process. This potential is perfectly applicable in modern healthcare practices.

OSAKA – Nintendo Co. said Wednesday it posted a group net profit of ¥21.26 billion ($190 million) for the three-month period that ended in June, a turnaround from a ¥24.53 billion loss a year earlier, on the back of solid sales of its Switch game console and games. The Kyoto-based game giant booked a consolidated operating profit of ¥16.21 billion, up from last year's ¥5.13 billion loss, on revenue of ¥154.07 billion, up nearly 2.5-fold. The results for the first quarter of the 2017 business year indicate Nintendo is poised for a comeback after several years of weak earnings due to the poor performance of the Switch's predecessor, the Wii U. Nintendo maintained its earlier net profit forecast of ¥45 billion for the 2017 business year, down 56.1 percent from the previous year when it sold off Major League Baseball team the Seattle Mariners. It also maintained its revenue outlook, projecting a 53.3 percent jump to ¥750 billion. The company said it shipped 1.97 million Switch consoles in the April-June quarter and kept unchanged its full-year estimate of 10 million consoles. The console, which has a display screen and detachable controllers and can act as both a home system and a handheld machine, has proved popular since its March release.

Police are teaming up with technology companies to develop artificial intelligence which they say will help them identify and apprehend suspects before crimes are even committed, according to The Financial Times. Facial recognition study says it can identify criminals from looks alone https://t.co/MqzPuBSJtC "If we use our smart systems and smart facilities well, we can know beforehand...who might be a terrorist, who might do something bad," Li Meng, China's vice minister of science and technology, said. The Guangzhou-based facial recognition company Cloud Walk created a system that tracks data on people's movements and behavior to assess their chances of committing a crime. "For example, someone who buys a knife won't raise suspicion," a company spokesperson explained to Lei Feng Network.

Consumer robot maker iRobot, maker of the Roomba robot vacuum cleaner, is to acquire its largest European distributor, Robopolis, in a cash deal worth $141 million. The company said it's signed a definitive agreement to acquire the privately-held, French company, which is based in Lyon, with the acquisition expected to close in October 2017. Its aim is to further enhance its distribution network, following the November 2016 acquisition of SODC, its distributor in Japan. Better serving European consumers and working to drive continued growth in Western Europe -- "through a consistent approach to all market activities including sales, marketing, branding, channel relationships and customer service" -- is the rational for the Robopolis acquisition, it said. "At this stage in the Western European market evolution, and the growth opportunity it presents, we feel a more direct go-to-market strategy is necessary to continue driving adoption of robots for the home," said Colin Angle, chairman and CEO of iRobot, in a statement.

Tech giants Elon Musk and Mark Zuckeberg have been engaged in a very public, somewhat silly and self-indulgent battle over artificial intelligence lately. Musk has warned AI-powered robots could usher in some form of automated war to give humanity its richly deserved demise, while Zuckerberg responded by saying he is "really optimistic" it could usher a golden age of lifesaving technology. Both have traded blows, with Zuckerberg saying the doomsaying is "pretty irresponsible," and Musk tweeting he thinks the Facebook head just doesn't understand the issue. The whole thing is a little eyeroll-inducing given true AI remains a pipe dream for now, and both men stand to benefit greatly from machine learning trends which automate jobs and concentrate control of the emerging digital economy in fewer hands. Coursera cofounder Andrew Ng, a real AI researcher who used to be chief scientist at Chinese tech company Baidu, weighed in on the latter issue Tuesday.

The plug-in – loved and hated across the world – won't actually be put out of its misery until 2020. But the company that makes it has signalled it will come to an end. Flash was once the technology powering the many games and videos of the early internet. As an animation platform it allowed for the creation of clickable games and videos on places like YouTube, and in so doing helped create the web as we know it today. 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 Facebook chief executive and social media icon is frequently lauded for his critical thinking and global vision, qualities that have helped him maintain his reign atop one of the world's most successful companies. Yet on Tuesday, Tesla chief executive and fellow billionaire Elon Musk said in a tweet that Zuckerberg's understanding of the threat posted by artificial intelligence "is limited." Musk's tweet was a response to a Facebook live broadcast that Zuckerberg did during a backyard grilling session Sunday in which he was asked about Musk's strident warnings surrounding AI. Musk wrote, "I've talked to Mark about this. His understanding of the subject is limited."

It does not have to be. The report demonstrates that these technologies can have a positive or a negative impact on human rights. Regarding these rights, we focus on issues relating to the right to respect private life, human dignity, ownership, safety and liability, freedom of expression and the prohibition of discrimination as wellas access to justice and the right to a fair trial. The Rathenau Instituut conducted this research on the invitation of the Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). Our research shows that the human rights framework forms a practical starting point for policy makers tasked with regulating robotics, artificial intelligence or similar technologies.
