The piano ditty below, which ascends jauntily, then finishes with a tuneful flourish, sounds a bit like a jingle composed for the latest toothpaste campaign. The tune was, in fact, dreamed up by a musical AI program developed at Google. And the program's latest compositions show how combining a powerful machine-learning approach with simple musical rules can produce creative works that sound remarkably human. Music composition is an enigmatic form of human creativity. Songwriting programs already exist, but they typically follow a specific set of rules, and they tend to produce tunes that feel rigid and mechanical.

I ran the 100 meter dash, and broke across the finish line in record time. As I danced around in victory, my enthusiasm was not diminished by the fact that I was 8-years-old, and my only opponents had been my asthmatic neighbor and a few action figures that hadn't moved from the starting line. By this metric, Assassin's Creed has also won a gold medal. It's the best video game movie I've seen to date, but as everyone knows, that's quite a low bar. Stacked up against the larger world of weird sci-fi outings and action blockbusters, it just doesn't hold up, and yes, once again we still are stuck at merely "decent," rather than becoming that eternally out-of-reach "great" video game movie adaptation.

NEW YORK President elect Donald Trump is pro-business and anti-red tape. But what if your business is red tape? Companies whose technology helps banks and investors cope with the welter of post financial crisis regulations and avoid increasingly hefty fines - a sector known as "regtech" - are sanguine about Trump's pledge to dismantle some of those reforms.

There is a strange dichotomy at the moment surrounding the future of work. In public, political movements throughout the western world have seen populist campaigners railing against the threat to jobs from low-wage migrants entering a country, and outsourcing to low-cost regions by multinationals. What hasn't really been touched on is the impact automation might have on jobs in the future. What began with the famous study from Oxford University academics Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael Osborne back in 2013, which highlighted the huge number of white and blue collar jobs that could be disrupted by automation, has progressed to growing interest from governments around the world.. For instance, a report by the British government's Science & Technology Select Committee into AI examined the issue from a range of aspects, from ethics to employment.

A battlefield is a terrible place for a person. War, as a profoundly human endeavor, requires humans, and there is no way around fighting most wars without, at some point, putting humans on the ground. In the future and, increasingly, the present, those humans will be accompanied by robots, often remotely guided machines carrying some share of the burden of the fight. Or, in the case of gun-toting robots like Russia's Nerekhta, the robot will actually be firing a weapon.

Andrey Petrovich had given up all hope when the videophone rang. "Hello, I saw your ad. You give private literature lessons?" He was about thirty, with an open smile and serious eyes, dressed in a suit and tie. Posting the ad on the Net had become but a hapless habit. In the past ten years he had received six responses. Three callers had dialed the wrong number, two others were old-fashioned insurance salesmen who still made phone calls, and the last one had confused literature with legislature. You are interested in literature?" "I am," the man nodded from the screen, and introduced himself. How much do you charge?"

Whenever the Kingdom of Hyrule has been in danger, a young boy named Link has risen to the challenge of saving the land from all manner of pixelated evil. The latest chapter of Link's ongoing quest in the video game series The Legend of Zelda is about to be released. And while the graphics have improved since the 1980s, Link is still an empty vessel for players to inhabit, only facing danger with a push of the joystick. Videogame heroes take up a larger amount of people's imaginations today than they ever have before. In the cultural economy they are as big a force as the heroes in books and movies.

It turns out you don't need to be Dr Doolittle to eavesdrop on arguments in the animal kingdom. Researchers studying Egyptian fruit bats say they have found a way to work out who is arguing with whom, what they are squabbling about and can even predict the outcome of a disagreement – all from the bats' calls. "The global quest is to understand where human language comes from. To do this we must study animal communication," said Yossi Yovel, co-author of the research from Tel Aviv University in Israel. "One of the big questions in animal communication is how much information is conveyed."
