Drones are changing the ways in which scientists' investigate the footprints left behind by dinosaurs. Researchers in Australia have started using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to map prehistoric tracks in remote locations and are using the data to build 3D models of track sites. They're also using lidar, a laser scanning technology, and light aircraft to aid their research, which is detailed in a paper published at PeerJ. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.

More than ten million workers could be replaced by robots over the next 15 years, it is claimed today. In an alarming vision, a report predicts jobs in shops, offices and factories could be made redundant by advances in technology such as artificial intelligence. Most workers at high risk are in transportation and storage, retail, manufacturing, and administrative and support services, experts found. The report, by accountancy giant PwC, said up to 10.4million jobs – 30 per cent of those in the UK – are very likely to be automated by the early 2030s. The development of driverless cars, lorries and vans means workers in the transportation and storage sector are at particularly high risk.

NASA's highly experimental Earth Observing-1 satellite mission was supposed to last just a year. It did that, and then survived 16 more--all the while testing NASA's riskiest, oddball ideas. It's been a proving ground for everything from multi- and hyperspectral imagers, to a self-piloting AI. But EO-1 is finally out of fuel, and at the end of the month the craft's operating team will close up shop. Already out of fuel, EO-1 itself will continue to slowly shuffle off its orbital coil until it burns up in Earth's atmosphere.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is seemingly everywhere today. Whether it's using a virtual assistant like Siri or Alexa, improving sales insights through analytics, or hiring the best talent with AI-based recruiting software, many businesses have already started incorporating this technology into their everyday processes. While you may not necessarily need to make artificial intelligence the core of your operations right now, most experts agree that AI's role and importance in business will only continue to grow. Nine members from Forbes Technology Council each shared a way that companies can begin preparing for AI right now. I think for smaller companies, it is too early to create a plan, but I do think it is important to stay updated on AI and how it is being implemented in an applicable industry.

FCC rules require TV stations to provide closed captions that convey speech, sound effects, and audience reactions such as laughter to deaf and hard of hearing viewers. YouTube isn't subject to those rules, but thanks to Google's machine-learning technology, it now offers similar assistance. YouTube has used speech-to-text software to automatically caption speech in videos since 2009 (they are used 15 million times a day). Today it rolled out algorithms that indicate applause, laughter, and music in captions. More sounds could follow, since the underlying software can also identify noises like sighs, barks, and knocks.

Twitter is considering building a premium version of its app that people will have to pay for, the company has said. The company is looking to create a paid-for version of its popular app Tweetdeck, it said. That could raise the possibility that it will charge suscription fees to use – a major break from its own strategy as well as those used by every other major social media company. Like its rivals, Twitter has looked to make money through advertising. But unlike Facebook and the range of companies it owns like Instagram, that advertising revenue hasn't worked out to enough to allow it to turn a profit.

It's the most cunning robocall scam I've encountered -- and the fact that I've fallen for it more than once tells you how successful it can be. You pick it up and say "hello." There's a brief silence and then a woman's voice says, "Oh, hi there!" She offers an embarrassed laugh. "I'm sorry, I was having a little trouble with my headset!"

People are constantly trying to find more'human' ways to interact with technology. Could the same be achieved for how we approach our health too? After the recent Deep Learning in Healthcare conference held in London, it is clear that technology has the capacity to transform healthcare as we know it. Deep learning (also known as machine learning or artificial intelligence) refers to a set of algorithms whereby a computational system is "trained" to process data by being tested on some information, which it then "learns" from. This results in a computer which has the ability to assimilate, process and present data to humans, eliminating work for us humans in the process.

With companies such as Amazon Web Services offering AI on tap -- including image recognition and natural language understanding -- an increasing number of machine learning powered services will be finding their way to the consumer. Those involved in marketing and retail might have already seen offerings filter through, with the following pointing the way the AI winds are blowing. In the world of AI, Watson is one of the best-known names out there. Built by IBM, this computer system is able to learn from massive amounts of unstructured data, while also being able to answer natural language questions. Already having made an impact in the healthcare industry, Watson is bringing its AI capabilities to a number of other sectors too.
