Google has vowed to fix a glitch with its new AI voice assistant after the device was caught reading out fake news. The Google Home device, which is currently available in the US but not in the UK, has been filmed making wild claims about political figures including Barack Obama. The voice-activated home device read out fake news from Google that claimed Barack Obama is planning a'coup d'etat' and that four former US presidents were members of the Ku Klux Klan. Google Home (pictured) will go on sale in the UK by the end of June of this year. Google Home is an artificially intelligent speaker that responds to voice commands.

Chinese electronics company Huawei is now the world's third-biggest mobile phone manufacturer – though it's still a brand many people don't know well. Its latest releases, the Huawei P10 and P10 Plus, build on last year's P9 by lavishing improvements all round and adding a notable extra focus on colour. While it's become common in recent years for premium phones to be presented in metallic colour variants (gold, silver, rose gold), it's been left to more affordable handsets, usually clad in plastic casing, to go for bright hues. Think the Apple iPhone 5C or models from HTC and, until recently, Microsoft. Huawei has gone further, producing its top-of-the-range P10 in eight shades, yes eight. One of them, rose gold, will only be available in China.

WikiLeaks is about to release a huge, mysterious trove of documents, according to Julian Assange. The organisation's official Twitter, which is thought to be run by its leader, posted a link to a trove of documents early in the morning. It promised that the password to unlock them would be revealed later on, at 9am eastern time. The post didn't make any explicit reference to what was contained in the document, making reference only to mysterious phrases like "Year Zero" and "Vault 7". But the post included a hidden picture that appeared to make reference to a secret CIA code.

A global survey of 4000 consumers reveals that shoppers are being left disappointed with the freshness of their grocery purchases. Set against a backdrop of declining retail profitability and significant changes in consumer lifestyles, grocery retailers are under pressure to deliver the best freshness to their customers, while also turning a profit. McKinsey reports that 40 per cent of grocery revenue is driven by fresh, which puts tremendous pressure on category managers to get it right. Yet category managers in fresh know too well the complexities of delivering the best fresh to their customers: Fresh goods are perishable, demand varies from day to day and supply chain lead-times are difficult to predict. Stock too much and you risk providing a less than satisfactory level of fresh if the stock is not sold in time, or you generate food waste.

Facebook asked the BBC to send it sexualised images of children, then reported it to police for doing so, according to the news organisation. The developments came as part of a BBC investigation into the social network's tools for moderating images that are shared on the site, which the BBC says is insufficient and allows for posts of pictures that include images of child abuse. As part of that investigation, the BBC claims that Facebook asked to see the pictures that were under discussion. When the BBC journalists sent them to the site, it said, Facebook reported the news organisation to the police and cancelled all of its interviews.

Artificial intelligence experts point to looming danger amid unpredictable technology and fears that technology could'seduce us into warfare' Experts in artificial intelligence, lawyers and activists organized by the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots gathered at the United Nations on Tuesday to warn against a growing reliance on cheap drones and "stupid AI" that can be unpredictable in the real world. "Terminator always comes up," Toby Walsh, a professor of artificial intelligence at the University of New South Wales, told reporters on Tuesday, referring to the sci-fi cyborg on a mission to wipe out mankind. "But it's not really Terminator that we're worried about at the moment. I think that Terminator is perhaps 50 or so years away." But there are concerning technologies "only a few years, at best, away", Walsh said, and with semi-autonomous systems, such as drones, "it would take very little to remove the human from that loop and replace them with a computer".

This is Sedric, Volkswagen's newest concept for the future of autonomous driving. Sedric (as in self-driving car, get it?) VW claims that Sedric is the first vehicle to be designed for fully autonomous driving "from scratch." Of course, it's important to note that Sedric is just a concept, meaning it does not exist anywhere but in the imaginations of a few VW engineers and designers. Which may explain why Sedric looks so angry.

Hungarian company AImotive is working towards developing an affordable autonomous driving system for $6000. The company has applied for permission to test the technology on the local roads near its California office, located near Google's HQ. While companies like Waymo and Uber use an expensive radar-like system called LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) in their self-driving car programs, AImotive claims to achieve the same using regular cameras combined with artificial intelligence. The company claims that this brings down the cost of converting a regular car into a driverless one to around $6,000 as opposed to $70,000-$100,000. "The whole traffic system is based on the visual system. Drivers don't have bat ears and sonars, you just look around and drive," said Laszlo Kishonti, CEO and Founder, AImotive.

We have seen a machine master the complex game of Go, previously thought to be one of the most difficult challenge of artificial processing. We have witnessed vehicles operating autonomously, including a caravan of trucks crossing Europe with only a single operator to monitor systems. We have seen a proliferation of robotic counterparts and automated means for accomplishing a variety of tasks. All of this has given rise to a flurry of people claiming that the AI revolution is already upon us. Understanding the growth in the functional and technological capability of AI is crucial for understanding the real world advances we have seen.

Standardized testing is also expensive and time-consuming. On the other hand, we should expect some sort of accountability in education, right? Schools are expensive, and, as new industries demand more educated workers, the stakes are higher than ever when it comes to the global economy and class mobility. Developed economies no longer have the safety net of middle-class manufacturing jobs. Whatever Trump says, that's permanent.
