There is widespread agreement that the only way to safely reopen the economy is through a massive increase in testing. The US needs to test millions of people per day to effectively track and then contain the covid-19 pandemic. This is a tall order. The country tested only around 210,000 people per day last week, and the pace is not increasing fast enough to get to millions quickly. The urgency to do better is overwhelmingly bipartisan, with the most recent legislation adding $25 billion for testing a few days ago.

Washington, DC (CNN Business)Tesla has said its latest version of Autopilot, its autonomous driving software, is able to stop at traffic lights. But some Tesla drivers are learning it doesn't just stop at red lights, it appears to slow down for green lights, too. Last Friday, Tesla drivers first reported receiving a software update that included "Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control," which is designed to slowdown and stop the vehicle for visible traffic lights or stop signs. Tesla (TSLA) describes the software as being in "beta," meaning it's unfinished and still officially in testing. It's designed to gradually improve as the artificial intelligence that powers it learns from the data that's being collected as Tesla cars drive on public roads, according to a notification in Tesla vehicles when the system is first activated.

Maxime Firth's business is complicated to manage, even in good times. His company, Onduline, turns recycled fibres into roofing material, after dousing them with bitumen to make them waterproof, and sells products in 100 countries. Its eight production plants span from Nizhny Novgorod in Russia and Penang in Malaysia, to Juiz de Fora in Brazil. Further complicating his supply chain, Mr Firth's business is strongly seasonal. People install roofs in the summer, so products are made from January to March, to sell from April to September.

Looking at the Open Source COVID-19 Medical Supplies production tally of handcrafted masks and faceshields, we're trying to answer that question in our weekly discussions about'COVID-19, robots and us'. We talked to Rachel'McCrafty' Sadd has been building systems and automation for COVID mask making, as the founder of Project Mask Making and #distillmyheart projects in the SF Bay Area, an artist and also as Executive Director of Ace Monster Toys makerspace/studio. Rachel has been organizing volunteers and automating workflows to get 1700 cloth masks hand sewn and distributed to people at risk before the end of April. "Where's my f*king robot!" was the theme of her short presentation. If you think that volunteer efforts aren't able to make a dent in the problems, here's the most recent (4/20/20) production tally for the group Open Source COVID-19 Medical Supplies, who speak regularly on this web series. One volunteer group has tallied efforts by volunteers across 45 countries who have so far produced 2,315,559 pieces of PPE.

This post is part of our symposium on legal, operational, and ethical questions on the use of AI and machine learning in armed conflict.] I am grateful for the invitation to contribute to this online symposium. The preservation of international legal responsibility and agency concerning the employment of artificial-intelligence techniques and methods in relation to situations of armed conflict presents an array of pressing challenges and opportunities. In this post, I will seek to use one of the many useful framings in the ICRC's 2019 "Challenges" report's section on AI to widen the aperture further in order to identify or amplify four areas of concern: detention, humanitarian services, uninhabited military maritime systems, and legal advice. While it remains critical to place sufficient focus on weapons and, indeed, on the conduct of hostilities more widely, we ought to consider other (sometimes-related) areas of concern as well.

Anchor Neural World blockchain platform, is receiving increasing support from Japan's investment holdings and high-tech companies around the world. The recent strategic partnership agreement between Anchor Value (that invested in ANW blockchain platform) and the Shenzhen Drone Manufacturers Association (Shenzhen UAV Industry Association) has attracted attention not only from specialists but also from the major Japanese media. Publications in SANSPO, ASAHI, NICOVIDEO and DREAM NEWS highlighted not only the potential of artificial intelligence in the management and opportunities provided by blockchain technologies but also the uniqueness of ANW artificial intelligence engine, which can be used with maximum efficiency in any of spheres from finance to education. The visibility and recognisability of the ANW platform is already increasing according to the principle of a snow bowl: as companies join the project, its development becomes more powerful, which increases the attractiveness of the platform for innovative business.

Artificial Intelligence continues to evolve through businesses across diverse industries, opening opportunities for organisations to operate and drive values to customers. From managing global supply chains to optimising delivery routes, the technology is augmenting its dominance in today's digital world. This is why, AI is in high demand as businesses, be it small or large, are seeking to garner a competitive edge. According to reports, demand for AI jobs continues to increase, and with more open jobs than qualified candidates to fill them, many AI-related roles rule high salaries. Similar to every country in the world, India is also racing to gain AI's potential benefits that could be game-changing.

If you happened across DJI's website this week, you can't have missed the prominent teaser for a new product -- or maybe you saw the leak that basically gave the game away. Well, it's finally official: say hello to the Mavic Air 2. As the name suggests, it's a sequel to the 2018's Mavic Air -- a drone I was very taken with. According to the company, the Mavic Air 2 isn't a simple tune-up, it was redesigned from the ground up with a particular focus on the user experience and not just ramping up the specs. Though we'll be the judge of that once we get our hands on it. DJI might be focusing on how much easier the Mavic Air 2 is to fly, but to be fair, the specs definitely weren't an afterthought.

Urology fellow, Jeremy Fallot, and nurse, Shauna Harnedy, assist in robotic surgery by Ruban Thanigasalam (out of view) in Sydney, Australia.Credit: Ken Leanfore for Nature Loved by surgeons and patients alike for its ease of use and faster recovery times, the da Vinci surgical robot is less invasive than conventional procedures, and lacks the awkwardness of laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. But the robot's US$2-million price tag and negligible effect on cancer outcomes is sparking concern that it's crowding out more affordable treatments. There are more than 5,500 da Vinci robots globally, manufactured by California-based tech giant, Intuitive. The system is used in a range of surgical procedures, but its biggest impact has been in urology, where it has a market monopoly on robot-assisted radical prostatectomies (RARP), the removal of the prostate and surrounding tissues to treat localized cancer. Uptake in the United States, Europe, Australia, China and Japan for performing this procedure has been rapid.
