The rise of artificial intelligence could have a more anticlimactic outcome than most doomsday films would have you expect. Rather than being violently wiped out by robotic beings, humankind may become'eternally useless' due to the increasing capabilities of AI. This is according to bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari, who explores bleak future of humanity and'the rise of the useless class' in his upcoming novel Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow. The rise of artificial intelligence could have a more anticlimactic outcome than most doomsday films would have you expect.

We are very excited with all the positive feedback about BigML's latest release. It was a huge milestone to announce WhizzML, the very first domain-specific language for automating Machine Learning workflows, implementing high-level Machine Learning algorithms, and sharing them with others is now publicly available. Thanks to everyone who attended. For those who couldn't make it, we'll publish the video recording soon.

Google's I/O developers conference this week mostly showed things coming in the future: Android N, Daydream VR, Project Tango, Google Home, and even a couple of chatty apps. But if you're looking for new things to do with your Android phone right now, just hit up the Play Store: we have five fresh apps and games hand-picked for your perusal. Assassin's Creed Identity is the adventure game series' closest mobile approximation of the open-world console experience, while Google's own Spaces app offers private rooms for pals to share links and ideas.

It's trimmed down in scope, but you still get a taste of the core Assassin's Creed experience in Identity.

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

In the past few weeks, you may have noticed a mysterious message popping up on your iPhone after hours of non-use. A seemingly new prompt requires users to enter a passcode to access their phone, even though they have Touch ID enabled – but only if it hasn't been unlocked using its passcode in six days, and the Touch ID hasn't been used within the last eight hours. Though Apple has said the feature was added with the release of iOS 9, users have just now begun to see it, causing many to speculate about its connection to the firm's recent tensions with the FBI. A seemingly new prompt requires users to enter a passcode to access their phone, even though they have Touch ID enabled – but only if it hasn't been unlocked using its passcode in six days, and the Touch ID hasn't been used within the last eight hours According to the iOS Security Guide published earlier this month, there are a number of situations in which you may have to use your passcode to unlock your iPhone or iPad even if Touch ID is enabled. According to Macworld, the message reads'The passcode has not been used to unlock the device in the last six days and Touch ID has not unlocked the device in the last eight hours.'

The ability of video games to entrance people for hours on end have made them the stars of Sony's balance sheet. Now, the company's embattled film studio is hoping a movie based on a mobile game can change the score at the box office. Rovio Entertainment's "Angry Birds" was released in 2009 and has since been downloaded more than 3 billion times, but seven years is a long time in the world of pop culture. Sony Pictures Entertainment hopes there's still enough magic in the video game to make it the foundation of a true and much-needed children's film franchise for a studio still reeling from a high-profile computer hacking incident and some tepid recent movies. But Sony's been on a hot streak with its console gaming business, and it may be a game-based film that has enough worldwide appeal to reset its box office performance.
