Federico Pirzio-Biroli, the founder of London VC fund Playfair Capital, is planning to move to Africa to become an angel investor there, and the fund is closing its coworking space at Warner Yard in Clerkenwell. Playfair Capital specialises in artificial intelligence and machine learning, and has invested in well-known startups such as restaurant app Dojo, DueDil, Vinaya, Stripe, Streethub, Hassle, and Stratajet. Pirzio-Biroli told Business Insider that he worked at NGOs in Africa before becoming a technology investor, so this is a logical move for him. He says that angel investing in Africa can make a big difference to economies there, whereas London is now flooded with early stage funding for technology startups. The Playfair Capital fund isn't going to close its doors completely - instead Pirzio-Biroli is handing over control to his remaining staff and preparing to become a limited, rather than general, partner. My decision to move to East Africa was made in November.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display

I just asked a bot to tell me how much I spent on coffee this past month. And a few moments later, it replied. Certainly, I drink an awful lot of coffee. After asking the bot for a bit more information, I can happily say I spent at least some of that nearly two hundred dollars on chopped fruit and the occasional pastry. The bot didn't actually explain this, but it did give me list all payments to coffee shops, which made things clear.

Just the idea of touching a sexual organ was a problem." Jarnfelt and Hasselager are at the centre of a growing community of developers who are making games that explore issues around sex and sexuality. They help run the annual Lyst conference, where developers meet to discuss and show off games such as Breakup – a VR experience in which you endlessly repeat the last few moments of a relationship – and Pocket Jockey – in which players make other players' phones vibrate. The third Lyst event took place in Hamar, Norway, last weekend. "The community is growing, we're getting more and more participants," says Hasselager. "Love, romance and sex are some of the most natural human emotions but they are portrayed so badly in games," she says.

A sinister threat is brewing deep inside the technology laboratories of Silicon Valley, according to Professor Stephen Hawking. Artificial Intelligence, disguised as helpful digital assistants and self-driving vehicles, is gaining a foothold, and it could one day spell the end for mankind. The world-renowned professor has warned robots could evolve faster than humans and their goals will be unpredictable. Professor Stephen Hawking (pictured) claimed AI would be difficult to stop if the appropriate safeguards are not in place. During a talk in Cannes, Google's chairman Eric Schmidt said AI will be developed for the benefit of humanity and there will be systems in place in case anything goes awry.

While it may seem that Rolls-Royce is purely a luxury car company, it has been cooking up something completely unexpected: remote-controlled cargo ships. The Rolls-Royce led Advanced Autonomous Waterborne Applications Initiative (AAWA) has presented its vision at the Autonomous Ship Technology Symposium 2016 in Amsterdam of how remote and autonomous shipping can become a reality. The company is working on virtual decks where land-based crews would control every aspect of the ship. Additionally, there will also be VR camera views and monitoring drones to spot issues humans cannot. Therefore, only requiring one human to steer several boats.

Keep calm and carry on; artificial intelligence will not take all our jobs and achieve world domination, according to a report released by Forrester. Prominent figures including Elon Musk, co-chairman of OpenAI, and Professor Stephen Hawking have publicly warned people about how the advent of AI will cause an existential threat to humankind. The frenzy around AI has led to groups rallying for future safety measures. Google's DeepMind has even collaborated with Oxford University's Future of Humanity Institute to develop [PDF] an AI "panic button." Forrester, a technological research and advisory firm, believes the panic is exaggerated, however, and said: "Don't believe the hype – Google AlphaGo's gaming successes and IBM Watson will not usher in a dystopian triumph of machines over humans."

IBM Watson Health is extending net to supply its artificial intelligence system by coming up with a 16-member international unit of health systems, academic medical centers and imaging technology companies to boost the development speed of products that diagnose patients rightly in the first time. IBM said that ranging from rural America's hospitals and academic medical centers in the inner city to Europe and Japan's imaging companies the collaborative will expand its effort to spot the major problems of the healthcare in'real-life' settings in daily practice. The Watson Health business presently has data on nearly 300 million patients and the collaborative is going to help record the experience of doctors and imaging centers working with numerous distinct diseases and imaging equipment used in the treatment of patients. In an interview, Steven Tolle, chief strategy officer for Watson Health Imaging, said that the collaborative is going to assist doctors in addressing different cancers such as breast and lung and also eye health, diabetes, and brain and heart diseases. Further, Tolle gave assurance to IBM Watson's observers that the collaborative is going to be wider than its rivals. While speaking about IBM Watson rivals, Tolle said, "They partner with one partner and go after one disease.
