Google is developing a new system designed to prevent artificial intelligence from going rogue and clashing with humans. It's an idea that has been explored by a multitude of sci-fi films, and has grown into a genuine fear for a number of people. Google is now hoping to tackle the issue by encouraging machines to work in a certain way.

Six female students from war-torn Afghanistan who had hoped to participate in an international robotics competition July 16-18 in Washington D.C will have to watch via video link after the U.S. denied them visas -- not once, but twice. Of 162 teams participating, the Afghan girls are the only nation's team to be denied visas.

Thanks to hype, Hollywood and media coverage, much of what we perceive to be artificial intelligence (AI) is often wildly inaccurate, says Morgan Jones of Televerde. Often rooted in a misunderstanding of robots replacing human jobs, one of the specific industries often mentioned as one that is particularly at risk is the call centre industry. In reality, the potential for AI in the call centre is indeed transformational, but not in a way that would make humans obsolete or take over customer services reps jobs any time soon. In fact, according to Forrester Research, 57% of AI adopters said improving the customer experience is the biggest benefit. Whatever technology in available now or in the future, a marketing strategy is only as good as the people behind it – starting with a dedicated team that understands how to have insightful, relevant conversations.

Smart devices are steadily becoming a part of our daily lives, with gadgets like smart speakers, which are a combination of voice commands and artificial intelligence, being very useful in emergency scenarios. While users may be coming to terms with the idea of a slew of smart devices inside their homes, in their pockets or on their wrists, these devices are evolving fast in their capabilities in responding rapidly in emergency situations. Reports said a smart speaker saved the life of a woman and her daughter in New Mexico by alerting authorities to an alleged assault last week. Eduardo Barros allegedly pointed a gun at his girlfriend and posed the question: "Did you call the sheriffs?" This exchange triggered the speaker to call 911.

Billionaire Elon Musk has finally revealed the first look at his new affordable Tesla, after news of the $35,000 model was met with much anticipation. Musk tweeted photos of Model 3 late on Saturday night, after the CEO announced the cars would begin production Friday, thanks to passing tests ahead of schedule. The five-seat car will be able to travel 215 miles on a single charge and will be sporty, accelerating from zero to 60mph in under six seconds. Although the eco-friendly car is affordable compared to other Teslas, those looking to buy the vehicle may be waiting months before they can get behind the wheel.

It is the nature of technology to improve over time. As it progresses, technology brings humanity forward with it. Yet, there is a certain fear that surrounds technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, in part due to how these have been portrayed in science fiction. This fear, however, is mostly a fear of the unknown. For the most part, humankind doesn't know what will come of the continued improvement of AI systems.

Telecom operators have started using artificial intelligence (AI) technology capabilities that process and analyze real-time customer data to recommend and automatically trigger the next best action. Ooredoo, a top telecom operator in the Middle East, is investing in artificial intelligence technology to ensure next-generation customer experience to its mobile phone users in Qatar – as part of its digital strategy. Vodafone India faced 4.8 percent churn in fiscal 2017 as compared with 4.3 percent n fiscal 2016 due to competition. Churn of post-paid customers was 1.9 percent against 1.8 percent. Churn of pre-paid users was 5 percent against 4.5 percent.
