According to a recent Deloitte report, advances in medical science are leading to an increased life expectancy. In 2014, the average life expectancy globally was 72.3 years and that is expected to grow to 73.3 years by 2019. In 2019, 11% of the total population are expected to be aged more than 65 years. Analysts expect that out of the global health spend of nearly 7 trillion, nearly half of the funds are diverted to making sure that this aging population continues to live longer. La Jolla, California,-based Human Longevity (Private:HLONG) is one player that is successfully integrating genomics and technology to help create the world's largest and most comprehensive database of whole genome, phenotype and clinical data that can be used to increase human longevity.

This fall, an unusual vessel will begin sea trials off the coast of California. The 51-foot-long Boeing Echo Voyager will have no crew. It will glide underwater for days or weeks, quietly collecting data from the ocean floor to send back to crews on ships or on land. Ever since the start of the war in Afghanistan in 2001, the U.S. military has relied more and more on flying drones to take on dangerous air missions. But increasingly, drones are taking to the sea as well.

We live in a world where artificial intelligence isn't science fiction -- it's reality. And, as Alex Konrad of Forbes previously reported, IBM Watson General Manager David Kenny is currently striving to make sure that AI becomes a "service" soon. Watson is IBM's artificially intelligent supercomputer (not to mention a Jeopardy champion). According to Forbes, IBM and Kenny expect Watson to expand into a 10 billion business within the next ten years. We're thrilled to announce that Kenny will be speaking about how AI is fueling the next massive wave of digital disruption and innovation at IGNITION 2016, Business Insider's flagship annual conference.

The concept is also known as Universal Basic Income, and it really is just that. The government would cut every citizen a check -- around 1,000 to 2,000 a month -- with no strings attached. You can spend it on groceries, stash it in a savings account or splurge it all on a trip to Hawaii. It doesn't matter what you do with it; the government will send you that money every month regardless. That check might not matter so much if you already have a decent salary, but if you're poor or unemployed, that extra 1,000 could be the difference between a roof over your head and living on the streets.

"A lot of people are going to be playing this franchise for the first time, so we can't take anything for granted," Drew McCoy, a producer on Titanfall 2, told Engadget. "It's a difficult balancing process, because you don't want existing players to feel like the first game didn't matter, but you also don't want new players to feel like they've been left out of the loop. It's something we've always been aware of while making the game." The story centers on a lowly grunt called Jack Cooper, who inherits the robot Titan BT-7274 from a dying pilot. Stuck in enemy territory, the two unlikely allies are forced to team up and continue their mission, battling the villainous Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (IMC) along the way.

It turns out Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's disruptive maneuver isn't just to render me superhumanly flexible, but to slow me to a crawl. To make me want to linger over inches of screen space, trawling for painkillers, grenades, EMP bullets, and upgrades to my tweaked out wetware. Eidos Montreal's cyberpunk roleplaying game for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, out August 23, has its obligatory action box. And you can check it. I'm hunting for passwords and PINs stored on strangely hip-again PDAs or carelessly dropped in emails. I need these to unlock doors and computers, to disable security cameras, gun turrets and homicidal security robots.

Travis Kalanick, CEO of Uber, recently spoke to USA TODAY about the company's new efforts to develop a self-driving ride-sharing vehicle with the help of Swedish automaker Volvo. "If we don't get the (autonomous car) software thing nailed, we're not going to be around much longer," the captain of the ride-hailing juggernaut told USA TODAY on Thursday. In his mind, self-driving cars are a societal inevitability that will reduce deaths, traffic and pollution. "Will it all take time and storytelling (to reassure consumers)? "But that's where it ultimately ends up." Kalanick, 40, spoke at Uber's sprawling headquarters here just hours after the company, privately valued at 66 billion, announced two major strategic moves aimed at better positioning itself for an autonomous vehicle future. Uber is rolling out the first of 100 Volvo SUVs equipped with self-driving features in Pittsburgh later this month, part of a 300-million partnership. Volvo has targeted 2021 for a self-driving car. And Uber is buying Otto, a 100-person startup focused on bringing autonomous features to tractor trailers. Kalanick insisted that neither deals -- nor Uber's recent sale of its UberChina operations to rival Didi Chuxing --were designed to make the company more attractive to investors for a possible initial public offering. "My statements on this have been well documented, but you gotta ask, I get it," said Kalanick in his characteristically direct style that blends pauses with declarative statements. "If there was a way to get mass liquidity without going public, (which is) that bureaucracy piece, then I'm super excited about that.

In 2011, Bentley's new CEO decided to get into the luxury SUV market. Wolfgang Durheimer, the incoming boss, had migrated across parent company Volkswagen Group from the Porsche division. He saw what the popular Cayenne crossover had done for Porsche's bottom line. Durheimer gave the Bentley engineers a simple mandate: Make the most powerful, most luxurious and most exclusive SUV on the planet. With the 2017 Bentley Bentayga, the company's first crossover, he appears to have succeeded.

A brief history of artificial intelligence The concept of artificial intelligence began as pure fiction, something to be imagined but never actually existing. Today, we know that that's no longer the case. Artificial Intelligence is real and there are already real-world applications where artificial intelligence is helping us solve some of the biggest problems facing humanity. Here's a look at how artificial intelligence has developed through the years. Greek myths The earliest known reference to something we could term artificial intelligence dates back to the ancient Greeks.
