Tesla Motors' cars kinda drive themselves, but its Autopilot technology has caused some headaches for the company. Consumer Reports called on Tesla to recall the feature, calling it "too much autonomy, too soon." A Florida man died in a crash while using Autopilo. And now, German transport minister Alexander Dobrindt asked Tesla to ditch the term "Autopilot," arguing it can lead consumers to think the car is far more capable than it is. First Look: Here's How Tesla Improved its UI and Autopilot Before going further, a note: Model S and Model X vehicles with Autopilot can stay in their lane and maintain a safe speed.

Highly maneuverable and silent, this miniature robotic tank, built at the Degtyarev Plant in Kovrov, will sneak up on its target totally unnoticed and take the enemy by surprise. "The Nerekhta system has been put on the list of future fighting robots currently being mulled for use by the Russian Armed Forces, a Defense Ministry official told the newspaper. "If the combat platform passes the tests, it will enter service with our army scouts and Special Ops troops." The Nerekhta is built around a light armored rubber-track platform and looks like a miniature tank where the turret is replaced with an explosives-packed container. Weighing 300 kilograms and just over one meter long, the Nerekhta can haul hundreds of kilograms of high explosives at 11 km/h in a silent mode. Before it goes into combat a map of the the battlefield with the coordinates of the designated targets is downloaded to its onboard computer. All its operators need to do is just push a button clicking the number of the downloaded targets and leave the rest to this powerful tank. Receiving the radio command, the Nerekhta will plot its course to the target, approach it and blow it up. This is exactly what the Nerekhta did when it was unveiled to the public during the Army-2016 expo outside Moscow. "A robotic arm will eventually be added on to make the Nerekhta reusable.

Ever wanted to know what historical images would look like in color? Rudy Marsman used a computer algorithm to add color to six black and white films from the archives of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. Rudy is a master student in Information Science at the VU University in Amsterdam. The automatic coloring of moving images was part of the research he did for his master thesis at Sound and Vision. As part of my master's thesis I researched the possibilities to automatically color black and white videos.

The idea of falling in love with a robot is not currently accepted in any society in the world--most likely because robots are regarded as nonliving objects. But as AI evolves, it has the potential to surpass human intelligence, so, at some point, robots may not be perceived as objects anymore, but as equivalent to humans. Many of the companies developing companion robots design them with humanlike functionality, such as the ability to identify their owner's feelings and to evolve their knowledge based on their owner's lifestyle and preferences. The ultimate goal is to ensure the human is happy and satisfied. In this report, we examine how technological advancements could revolutionize relationships and love between human beings and robots.

It's easy to say that it's a boring time for mobile phones: every company has converged on one very similar design, a sheet of glass, metal and curved edges built around a black rectangle in the middle that shows you an increasingly stagnating operating system. And that's true, but also not, because Samsung's phones are blowing up on planes and literally threatening lives. It's into this strange market of stagnation and explosions that Google has released the first phone it had made itself. The stakes have never been higher – as well as Samsung's worries, Apple is also seeing growth in sales of the iPhone slow – but the opportunity has never been bigger. Google has had phones before, of course.

In part 1 we looked at using linear regression, with the aid of a spreadsheet, to see if we could predict within a reasonable tolerance predict what Darcey Bussell's scoring would be based on Craig Revel Horwood's score. No big deal, it worked quite well, it took less thank five minutes and didn't interfere with me making a cup of tea. Linear Regression is all well and good but this is 2016, this is the year where every Northern Ireland company decides it's going to do artificial intelligence and machine learning with hardly any data…. So, we're going to upgrade the Darcey Coefficient and go all Techcrunch/Google/DeepMind on it, Darcey's predictions are now going to be an Artificial Neural Network! They're good but held with a small amount of skepticism.

While robots and computers will probably never completely replace doctors and nurses, machine learning/deep learning and AI are transforming the healthcare industry, improving outcomes, and changing the way doctors think about providing care. Machine learning is improving diagnostics, predicting outcomes, and just beginning to scratch the surface of personalized care. Imagine walking in to see your doctor with an ache or pain. After listening to your symptoms, she inputs them into her computer, which pulls up the latest research she might need to know about how to diagnose and treat your problem. You have an MRI or an xray and a computer helps the radiologist detect any problems that could be too small for a human to see.

The Google logo is displayed on a sign outside of the Google headquarters in Mountain View, California. Google's artificial intelligence (AI) platform DeepMind revolutionizes the field, being now capable of learning based on information already possessed. DeepMind is able of learning, or better said of teaching itself, based on data it already possesses. According to The Next Web, this is a significant step forward for artificial intelligence, a real breakthrough that revolutionizes the field. DeepMind technology is based on Alphabet's hybrid system called Differential Neural Computer (DNC).

IBM's artificial intelligence platform Watson will work with doctors in Germany attempting to solve some complex medical cases. It will be based at the Undiagnosed and Rare Diseases Centre at the University Hospital in Marburg. So far, Watson has looked at half a dozen cases, but it is unclear how many it has correctly diagnosed. AI systems are increasingly being used in healthcare, with Google's DeepMind partnering several UK hospitals. The Watson partnership, with private hospital group Rhon-Klinkum AG, will be piloted from the end of the year.

Being the world's largest online-only grocery supermarket with over 500,000 active customers means we get the opportunity to interact with people all across the UK on a daily basis. Ocado prides itself on offering the best customer service in the industry which is one of the many reasons why our customers keep coming back. Since Ocado doesn't have physical stores, there are mainly two ways our customers and our employees interact directly. The first (and probably most common) is when our drivers deliver the groceries to the customers' doorsteps; the second is when customers call or email us using our contact center based in the UK. Today we're going to tell you a bit more about how a customer contact center works and how Ocado is making it smarter.
