The Nordic nation has pledged to go carbon neutral by 2035 – not bad for one of the coldest countries in the world. The Hollywood star says he wants to solve climate change with robots. Details are scant, but come on, he's Iron Man! Millions of people are rejoicing as iTunes shuffles of this mortal coil. Apple says the long-hated app will still survive on Windows, however. Forget "my kid could draw that" – now robots are producing bad art.

The Guardian is right to oppose automated facial recognition (Editorial, 10 June), but in spite of concerns from MPs and peers, parliament has hardly discussed the issue. As the person who organised the only debate on the subject in the House of Lords, I have started legal action against the police for failing to have a regulatory framework for its use. It's shocking that we are allowing the police and companies to set the rules as we abolish privacy in public spaces, because ministers are failing to act. The difference between ourselves and the likes of China and Russia is that we have a fairly open democracy, but this is no defence against state oppression and commercial exploitation if politicians fail to recognise that when our face becomes an identity card, all the rules change.

You know that scene in 30 Rock when Liz Lemon is like "What a week, huh?" and Alec Baldwin's character goes, "Lemon, it's Wednesday." I happen to know a great cure to the Hump Day blues however, and it involves doing a bit of retail therapy. I don't just recommend buying a bunch of stuff you don't need at Target or on Amazon.

Deepfakes are video manipulations that can make people say seemingly strange things. Barack Obama and Nicolas Cage have been featured in these videos. Facebook's misinformation policies are being put to the test. A deepfake video of CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently surfaced on Facebook-owned Instagram, and reportedly the social networking site has chosen to leave it up, for now. The video appears to show Zuckerberg saying things he never actually said.

In pop culture, the combination of business interests and artificial intelligence is something to be feared. It brings to mind Skynet, the malevolent neural network from the Terminator movies that goes to great lengths to destroy its human makers. The reality is different, though. We take advantage of it every time we check out new products recommended by Amazon.com, We have fun with it when we browse Netflix, which uses AI to predict what viewers might like to watch next. We're also increasingly likely to encounter it at work, since businesses of all types are finding ways to use it in industrial, retail, and service operations.

This major centre-wide'festival-style' exhibition explores creative and scientific developments in AI, demonstrating its potential to revolutionise our lives. Bringing together artists, scientists and researchers, this interactive exhibition offers an unprecedented survey of AI with which you are invited to engage head-on. Experience the capabilities of AI in the form of cutting-edge research projects by DeepMind, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Neri Oxman; and interact directly with exhibits and installations from artists including Mario Klingemann, Massive Attack, Es Devlin and teamLab to experience the possibilities first-hand. Prepare for your preconceptions of AI to be challenged by this timely exhibition, that reflects on how this technology impacts our very existence.

In the following, I share the key learnings of the webinar. AI is not a secret sauce and requires lots of good data to create real value. Companies need to first separate the hype from the actual capabilities of AI, defining what AI means for them and how it might create value. Moving an entire company towards the adoption of AI is a challenging task and needs lots of educational effort. AI is not the solution to all problems. Building products do not start with thinking about AI but finding a meaningful problem that once solved adds value for the customer or user.

A Stanford University team is now using artificial intelligence to improve detection of aneurysms. Those are bulging blood vessels in the brain that can leak or burst. The new tool, called HeadXNet, highlights areas of a brain scan most likely to have an aneurysm.

Every field has people working behind the scenes,

When Hima Patel was in her third year of computer science engineering at Sardar Patel University in Gujarat, a professor of hers gave her a book on artificial neural networks. "I was a good student. The book was not part of our curriculum, but the professor thought I might like it," recollects Hima. It took time to fully understand the book. But at the end of it, she loved it.
