Tesla sends 'golden ticket' invites to 30 Model 3 owners

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Although Elon Musk already has his, Tesla is set to finally begin delivering its eagerly anticipated Model 3 to (some) customers. The firm today began sending out invites to a'delivery event' to be held at the firm's Fremont factory. The first 30 owners will be able to take a spin in their new cars on July 28 at a celebratory launch party. The first 30 owners will be able to take a spin in their new cars on July 28 at a celebratory launch party where Elon Musk is expected to reveal more details about the car. Others may have to wait much longer, as production will begin slowly at 100 cars for the month of August and another 1,500 cars for September.


Ads invade people's phone keyboards and promote products as they type

The Independent - Tech

HTC has angered customers after adverts started appearing on their phones' keyboards. When people start typing, banner ads are popping up above the top row of keys and word suggestions, promoting a range of products and companies. As well as leading to speculation that every single thing users type – including passwords and PIN keys – is being recorded, the ads also take up a significant chunk of screen space. 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.

Police bodycams could spot criminals with real-time artificial intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Police officers could soon be wearing body-mounted cameras programmed to spot criminals and missing people in real-time, using artificial intelligence. The cameras, built by Motorola and similar to those already used by some US police forces to record an officer's point of view, could also help find missing objects like a stolen car, thanks to machine learning. A prototype of the AI camera is already being developed by Motorola and Neurala, a deep learning startup based in Boston, Massachusetts that recently added its software to drone cameras to help track poachers in Africa. The smart camera will learn while it is used and "automatically search for persons or objects of interest, significantly reducing the time and effort required to find a missing child or suspicious object in environments that are often crowded or chaotic," Motorola and Neurala said in a joint statement. "We see powerful potential for artificial intelligence to improve safety and efficiency for our customers, which in turn helps create safer communities," said Paul Steinberg, chief technology officer of Motorola Solutions.


How GDPR Affects Data Science

If your organization collects data about citizens of the European Union (EU), you probably already know about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR defines and strengthens data protection for consumers and harmonizes data security rules within the EU. The European Parliament approved the measure on April 27, 2016. It goes into effect in less than a year, on May 25, 2018.

Elon Musk: AI is a 'fundamental existential risk for human civilisation' and creators must slow down

The Independent - Tech

Elon Musk has branded artificial intelligence "a fundamental existential risk for human civilisation". He says we mustn't wait for a disaster to happen before deciding to regulate it, and that AI is, in his eyes, the scariest problem we now face. He also wants the companies working on AI to slow down to ensure they don't unintentionally build something unsafe.

Samsung's digital voice assistant may launch next week

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Samsung's digital assistant Bixby might finally find its voice next week after previous reports suggested it was'struggling to comprehend English'. When the Samsung Galaxy S8 was released in April, users were disappointed to find that their device was missing Bixby, the firm's highly-anticipated digital assistant. But now that might be about to change as a Reddit user posted a screenshot of an email saying it would launch on July 18. When the Samsung Galaxy S8 was released in April, users were disappointed to find that their device was missing Bixby, the firm's highly-anticipated digital assistant According to Samsung, Bixby is'a completely new way to use your Galaxy S8 or S8 .' Users can use voice, text, or touch to say what they need, since it understands all three. Alternatively, users can take pictures on their camera, and Bixby will search for objects within the picture.


Porn websites could leak everyone's viewing history because of government age check plans, experts warn

The Independent - Tech

Government plans to force age verification checks on pornographic websites could expose everyone's most private internet history, according to experts. The Open Rights Group has warned that the plans could lead to porn companies being forced to create databases of what everyone has watched. And the government is not doing enough to protect that database while pressing ahead with the plans, its executive director Jim Killock has said. "Age verification could lead to porn companies building databases of the UK's porn habits, which could be vulnerable to Ashley Madison style hacks," Mr Killock said. "The Government has repeatedly refused to ensure that there is a legal duty for age verification providers to protect the privacy of web users." 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.


YouTube down: App and website not working as users see '500 internal server error' rather than videos

YouTube has stopped working for some users. People are seeing a message reading "500 internal server error", rather than the videos they want to watch. This is the second round of issues the site has experienced today, following an outage earlier in the morning.

Will AI offer a cure for China's drastic shortage of doctors?

#artificialintelligence

Alibaba Health unveiled this week its first artificial intelligence service for disease diagnosis, offering hope that advanced technology will alleviate the workload of mainland Chinese physicians in a nation suffering from an acute shortage of doctors. The AI solution, called Doctor You, can be used for medical image diagnosis of CT scans to identify inflammatory cells in human organs, which can be an early indicator of cancer. "It will soon serve as an assistant to physicians at a number of hospitals in the country,"said Ke Yan, a vice president with Ali Health, adding that the technology could lower error rates and improve efficiency. "Our expectation is that, within the coming decade, AI will be capable of taking over half of the workload from doctors in China." The world's most populous nation suffers from a shortage of medical practitioners, with the World Health Organisation estimating there are only 1.5 physicians available for every 1,000 people, compared with 2.4 in the US and 2.8 in the UK.
