Elon Musk has launched a new "medical research" company called Neuralink, according to a new report. The firm was registered in California last July, and will focus on developing "neural lace" technology, reports the Wall Street Journal. Mr Musk tweeted that more information about Neuralink could emerge in April, but recent comments from the CEO of Tesla suggest that he's aiming to create cyborgs.

Users of Microsoft's Docs.com document storage service are being warned that search functionality allows anyone to access their uploaded files. Without even signing in to the site, I was able to track down extremely sensitive personal information, including bank details, phone numbers, CVs, visa application forms and passport scans, all within a couple of minutes. It's an extraordinarily worrying issue, which was discovered by security researchers and first reported by ZDNet. However, Microsoft hasn't made a mistake, nor has Docs.com 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.

Sky viewers can now search for TV programmes and films using just their voice. The latest Sky Q remote comes with a voice button linked to a microphone which users can speak into to search for content. The new software can search for shows by title, actor, genre or star rating. The voice recognition technology picks up on phrases such as'action movies with Tom Cruise' and'kids' movies rated U' to find personalised content. 'You can search for shows by specifying title, actor, genre or even star rating,' a spokesperson for Sky said.

The concept of a robot assistant in the home is moving from sci-fi to reality thanks to a new product that claims to be the first personalised household robot. BIG-i is able to interpret voice commands and perform simple household tasks, such as controlling other smart devices and providing reminders. NXROBO, the company behind the robot, believes that in the future every family will have a robot which will act as the'hub for all smart home appliances.' BIG-i is a natural-interaction robot with mobility, 3D vision, voice programming, and active perception. The robot, which stands 2ft 6ins (80 centimetres) tall, is able to move freely around the home as necessary, avoiding obstacles and can be controlled via a smartphone app as well as voice commands. It also has facial recognition technology that allows it to recognise family and friends in order to carry out specific tasks, such as reminding the children to remember their school lunchbox before they leave the house.

The U.S. president will sign an executive order that will suspend, rescind or flag for review more than a half-dozen measures that were part of Obama's plan to curb global warming. To keep them active -- including a controversial one for a casino with gambling illegal in the kingdom -- he would need to reapply for them during his four-year term, raising potential ethical concerns, AP learns. Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya went back to enjoying a jet-set life within weeks after he was accused of killing a Thai police officer in a hit-and-run nearly five years ago, AP finds. Three police officers have been injured and 35 protesters arrested as an Asian community expresses outrage at the police killing of a Chinese man in his home. Officials found it lacked fire extinguishers, smoke detectors in each apartment and a working fire sprinkler system, among other violations.

Google has launched its voice-activated Wi-Fi speaker, Google Home, in the UK. The device, around the size of a pint glass, can respond to questions, play music and control smart home technology, all by using speech recognition. The device is a challenger to the Echo, Amazon's smart speaker, which went on sale in the UK last year. The Echo has been seen as a pioneer but Google, which sees itself as a leader in voice recognition and artificial intelligence, hopes its software will give it an edge. The Google Home, which will cost £129 and go on sale next Thursday, April 6, runs Google Assistant, the same virtual assistant software that features on the Google Pixel phone, and is activated by speaking the words "OK Google", followed by a command.

Facebook is ending support for Messenger on a number of smartphones before the start of April. The social network has announced that handsets running Windows Phone 8.1 or earlier will no longer have access to its messaging app from this Saturday. Microsoft's mobile platform is nowhere near as popular as Android or iOS, and Facebook's decision comes as little surprise. 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 Home, the search giant's smart assistant that rivals Amazon's Alexa, will be launched in the UK in April. Google said it had "hidden a few British treats" in the device. The speaker and assistant, which launched in the US in November, is part of a growing trend to make artificial intelligence available in homes. The firm is also launching its own wi-fi service in the UK, in an attempt to solve the "frustration when wireless connectivity fails at home". Like Amazon's Echo, Home can answer basic queries as well as control smart home devices, such as lights.

The Home launched at Google I/O almost a year ago, but has been only available to US customers since November. However, in the time between launches, the company has localised the smart speaker, integrating a number of services and sources tailored specifically for Britons. The BBC, The Guardian, The Financial Times, The Sun, The Telegraph, Huffington Post, Sky News and Sky Sports are available from launch, with more being added over time. The launch of the Home in the UK sees Google go up against one of its biggest rivals: Amazon. The Echo and Echo Dot has largely had the smart speaker market to itself until now, but the Home -- with its intelligent Assistant -- builds on top of Google's existing search and AI expertise.

As the impacts of artificial intelligence and machine learning creep their way into every corner of the financial industry, banking providers are finding new ways to transform their approach to creating, producing and distributing their marketing materials. Advanced data analytics can help you build an omniscient system that automatically knows what to send, to whom and when, and do so without raising any compliance red flags. It's easy to understand how some people are intimidated by subjects like machine learning and artificial intelligence. First, it involves math… a lot of it. And then of course there are the countless sci-fi thrillers like The Matrix, The Terminator and Ex Machina that have mythologized AI as a threat in disguise -- how tech can run amok.
