The tech icon was helping launch the Advance Queensland Innovation and Investment Summit on Thursday, where the government hoped to foster the seeds of the next Apple, Google or major AI player. "A machine doesn't yet say'what's an obstacle of the world, what's a problem of the world that needs solving and what is an approach I could take to solve it?' " he told the audience. "We're just at the verge of where the machines may take off and go much further than even we humans could make them go. "It is a new revolution in my mind, the revolution of artificial intelligence, machines that will learn, that will be able to do things much better than we know how to tell them."

When we think of innovators of the technology space we largely think of blokes like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk – the zeitgeist is largely male. But that hasn't always been the case. As a matter of fact, for the first decade or so programming was a'pink-collar' industry. The vast majority of early coders were women. What's more, it's an industry created by women.

Steve Wozniak tells the innovation summit that artificial intelligence researchers are getting close to the point of understanding "what the brain is". The man who helped bring Apple computers to the world says we're on the verge of an artificial intelligence revolution. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak told an innovation summit in Brisbane artificial intelligence would be the next big disrupter, separate from the digital revolution that changed the world with personal computers and smartphones. Speaking via video link from the US, "The Woz" described AI as "machines acting like human friends". An attendee at the Brisbane summit films Mr Wozniak's broadcast.

The world is on the precipice of an artificial intelligence revolution, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak says. Mr Wozniak told the Advance Queensland Innovation and Investment Summit in Brisbane on Thursday, via a live feed from Orlando in Florida, machines were closer than ever to emulating the human brain. "I looked at the brain my whole life thinking we would never understand how it's wired, never know what consciousness is, we would never know what intuition is," he said. "And now we're seeing so many signs that are getting so close - we speak to our phones, we can get answers." Mr Wozniak said the artificial intelligence revolution would be separate from, and have just as big an influence on the world, as the digital revolution that proceeded it.

Armored tanks are built to protect, but they weren't designed to manoeuvre through rough terrain or avoid incoming threats. New concept vehicles have dropped the extra thick steel padding, allowing future machines to travel over 95 percent of available terrain and with more speed. Created by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA), the Ground X-Vehicle Technology program is working to produce'nimble, fast and smart' combat trucks that are able to shield themselves from enemies and deflect targeted missiles. A new concept design drops the extra thick steel padding from the machines, allowing the future fighting vehicles to travel over 95 percent of available terrain and with more speed.

Machine Learning (ML) is a field of computer science that came out of research into Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data analytics. ML focuses on the creation of models that have been defined by the deduction of algorithms during the analysis of data by a computer system. The resultant model has utility in its ability to be applied to new datasets and thus the potential for valuable insights to be gleaned from the data. Supervised Learning Supervised learning uses a pre-labelled dataset as an input to the system and the resultant model is the result of mapping the inputs to the outputs. Labels are used to identify the correct answers to the question that is to be posed to the system on a historical dataset.

Last month we heard about DRU, the Domino's delivery robot that's getting a trial run in Australia. The idea may seem silly, but some new restaurant industry numbers highlight the growing importance of food delivery in an age when consumers expect online ordering and rapid to-their-door service. As consumers get more comfortable with autonomous delivery (which is on the way, despite lots of skepticism), a restaurant industry that already uses state of the art logistics services could begin adding delivery robots to their operations in the next decade. According to information provided by 1010data, our hunger for the pies is growing. Domino's, Pizza Hut, and Papa John's combined to account for 45.1% of total food delivery sales, up from 40.3% in 2014.

Robotic killers that detect feral cats, spray their fur with poison and rely on them to essentially lick themselves to death have been deployed in the Australian desert for the first time. Feral cats are one of the biggest threats to many of Australia's endangered species, killing millions of animals every day throughout the country – and controlling them has proved difficult. It took John Read, an ecologist seven years to invent and produce four of the "grooming traps". After extensive testing, he has switched on the first one in a nature reserve in south-west Queensland. "Cats are hard-wired to hunt," Read said.

Most singles use Tinder or some other dating site, but that doesn't mean they want to tell everyone. Following a rollout of a test feature in Australia, Tinder received complaints that the app was outing users to their Facebook friends. After using'Tinder Social', members' names and dating profiles were added to a list that was shared with their Facebook friends who also use the app – exposing who is swiping for dates. Tinder is testing a new feature in Australian that lets users organize group dates, but the new feature is also outing them to their Facebook friends. By using'Tinder Social', users' names and dating profiles are being added to a public list that is shared with their Facebook friends who also use the app Tinder is testing a new feature in Australian that lets users organize group dates, but the new feature is also outing them to their Facebook friends.

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
