It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single chatbot, powered by artificial intelligence, will inevitably learn from human users to be a sexist pig. Microsoft learned this lesson the hard way in 2016 when it released the Twitter chatbot known as Tay. Within hours, Tay was tweeting sentences like "Zoe Quinn is a Stupid Whore" and "I fucking hate feminists and they should all die and burn in hell." A recent study published in the journal Science, conducted by researchers at Princeton University and the University of Bath, found machine learning inherently "absorbs stereotyped biases" from human internet users. That includes racial bias, as proved by Google search algorithms' propensity to prioritize images of white women and babies over people of color.

The Sims is set to launch on Android and iOS "soon". EA has teased a smartphone version of the classic game, called The Sims Mobile, which is expected to stay true to the PC original that first came out 17 years ago. The Sims Mobile has already launched in Brazil, and will arrive in more markets in the near future. It will be free to play. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

A version of this article appeared in the Spring 2017 issue of strategy business. On the Stanford University campus, you could practically throw a rock and hit 100 graduate students who are building apps that enable people to communicate more effectively. But Terry Winograd is particularly enthusiastic about the app one of his graduate students, Catalin Voss, is working on. Voss, a native of Germany who completed his bachelor's and master's degrees last June at the age of 21, is working on an app that deploys Google Glass, linked to a smartphone, to help autistic children recognize human emotions through facial expressions. Venture capitalists weren't interested, even though Voss had created and sold a startup that used eye-tracking technology to monitor attentiveness to a Toyota subsidiary while still a freshman. But Terry Winograd was interested. "It runs, it has AI [artificial intelligence]," says Winograd, who 20-odd years ago advised another graduate student on the then nascent field of searching the World Wide Web. "It's at a stage where we've actually put 30 devices into homes. Our goal is to have 100 in the trial." Voss says his objective is to build a medical product that insurers will be willing to pay for. "We want to prove the investors wrong, who didn't believe in it, and build an aid for people with autism, and other mental disorders as well," he says. "We believe we've built a fairly holistic system for mental health."

The girls were dancing on a neon tank, wearing sequined bikinis lit up by red and green laser light. A strobing fixed-wing aircraft passed overhead like the acid-trip kissing cousin of a Mitsubishi A6M Zero, with more sequined women dangling from it, trapeze-style. Flashing robots had preceded them -- wheeling through the room, pumping their fists at the crowd -- while the audience, seated on tiers of glittery red plastic swivel chairs, waved glow sticks. As the music throbbed, twin walls of video screens threw up bizarre images. The Technicolor dream machine the women were using as a stage displayed, at the end of its barrel, a rainbow-colored star -- just where, on an ordinary tank, the death comes out. But this was no ordinary tank. It was a fixture of the one-hour show that takes place three times a night at Robot Restaurant, a kind of eye-melting Japanese dinner theater, a cabaret show of such migraine-inducing decadence that Las Vegas falls silent before it. On this hot Tokyo night in July 2013, two Americans, Roger Ver and Nicolas Cary, sat in the crowd. As far as Cary could tell, they were the only gaijin in the place. He was drinking a beer, while Ver, as usual, was abstaining. Their unappetizing bento boxes sat untouched: you don't go to Robot Restaurant for the food. In the midst of the cartoonish spectacle -- earlier, a woman wielding an oversized mace had ridden in on a stegosaurus to battle two heavily armored robots -- they had business to discuss.

Amazon is reportedly planning to release a new version of its smart speaker Echo on Tuesday that includes a screen for making video calls. The original Echo is a digital assistant that can play spoken song requests, answer questions about a sports score, report the weather or read the news. Amazon is expected to announce a new Echo smart home speaker on Tuesday. The big difference: it'll come with a screen that allows users to make video calls, The Wall Street Journal reports. The 7-inch touch screen will also display answers to spoken questions with Google-like search results, the Journal adds.

The climbers at Earth Treks gym, in Golden, Colorado, were warming up: stretching, strapping themselves into harnesses, and chalking their hands as they prepared to scale walls stippled with multicolored plastic holds. Seated off to one side, with a slim gray plastic band wrapped around his brow, Erik Weihenmayer was warming up, too--by reading flash cards. "I see an'E' at the end," he said, sweeping his head over the top card, from side to side and up and down. Weihenmayer moved triumphantly on to the next card. Erik Weihenmayer is the only blind person to have climbed Mt. He was born with juvenile retinoschisis, an inherited condition that caused his retinas to disintegrate completely by his freshman year of high school. Unable to play the ball games at which his father and his brothers excelled, he took to climbing after being introduced to it at a summer camp for the blind. He learned to pat the rock face with his hands or tap it with an ice axe to find his next hold, following the sound of a small bell worn by a guide, who also described the terrain ahead. With this technique, he has summited the tallest peaks on all seven continents.

Mark Wahlberg gave fans an overview of his upcoming film, "Transformers: The Last Knight," at the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards on Sunday night. Wahlberg, who is reprising his "Transformers: Age of Extinction" role in the new movie, took the stage at the awards night to introduce a sneak peek from the Michael Bay-directed flick. Here's the synopsis: Giant badass robots kicking the crap out of each other, and I do some cool things, too," Wahlberg said (via Deadline) of the science fiction action movie before the clip was shown to the audience. The sneak peek shows a meeting between Wahlberg's Cade Yeager and Anthony Hopkins' Sir Edmund Burton, who is running a retirement home for Transformers in England. Also seen in the snippet are Laura Haddock's Vivian Wembley and Bumblebee among many others. READ: "Transformers: The Last Knight" director Michael Bay unveils new original character In "Transformers: The Last Knight," which is the fifth installment of the live-action "Transformers" film series, humans and Transformers are at war. With Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) taking a dark turn in the film, the only key to saving humanity's future lies buried in the secrets of the past, most particularly in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. In addition to running a retirement home for Transformers, Edmund also happens to be an astronomer and historian, who is well-aware about the history of Transformers on Earth. And that's probably the reason why Cade pays him a visit as seen in the sneak peek. In the official trailer for the fifth installment of the franchise, Optimus is seen chained up in a ship in space and faced with a female Transformer, whom he addresses as "my maker." "Optimus Prime, you destroyed your home.

Part of the point of artificial intelligence is to automate things so you can save time. It seems every week there is a new AI-powered app that makes some aspect of day-to-day life easier. For most, one of the biggest parts of day-to-day life is work, and there are fewer who love to save time more than busy professionals. Here are six ways you can harness the power of AI to save time throughout your workday, freeing you up for other tasks. Oftentimes the first big decision of the workday comes before you even leave your house -- what to wear.
