One of General Motors' first self-driving test vehicles is going on display at an automotive history museum in suburban Detroit. The Henry Ford history attraction announced Tuesday that it has acquired a modified pre-production Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle. The GM-donated vehicle originally made its debut testing on the streets of San Francisco in 2016. Now it will be displayed at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Dearborn. The camera- and sensor-equipped vehicle is the first autonomous car to be added to The Henry Ford collection.

Watson started its life as a TV star and now is being used by clients such as Symrise to create new perfumes.IBM It is less than fifteen years ago when IBM sold its PC business to Lenovo and did the same for its x86 server business back in 2014. It was a major shift for the company that some decades ago was virtually the same as the'PC' itself. But what was the key factor that attracted the company's attention and made it open a brand new path, different from its past business-safe lanes? Undoubtedly, both businesses that were sold had become less profitable, still, it does not sufficiently explain the reason why a new business had to replace the old one to secure the viability of the corporation.

Alzheimer's disease is a terminal neurodegenerative disease that has historically been diagnosed based on observing significant memory loss. There is currently no cure or disease-modifying therapy for this terminal illness, despite hundreds of clinical trials. It is thought these trials may have a high failure rate because the people enrolled are in the latest stages of the disease, likely already suffering a level of brain tissue loss that cannot easily be repaired. Thus, researchers have put their mind to how to detect this disease earlier, while a chance may still exist to slow its progression. Recent research has shown a biological marker associated with the disease, a peptide called amyloid-beta, changes decades before any memory-related issues are apparent.

A new study that found self-driving cars could be more likely to crash into pedestrians with dark skin has raised concerns among experts in the UAE. Academics said the research could indicate Gulf nationals would be more at risk from being hit by autonomous vehicles, without improvements to software. A recent paper, published by the Georgia Institute of Technology, found detection systems were better at recognising lighter skin tones than dark. The intriguing issue has also raised questions over whether traditional dress, such as the black abaya or white kandura, may also confuse existing technology. "I would exercise some caution until the study is peer-reviewed but it could have significant implications," said Lakmal Seneviratne, Professor of Robotics at Khalifa University.

KARACHI: Pakistan has introduced the first-ever business robot journalist, Dante, who writes and publishes a comprehensive report on stocks traded at the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) within a few seconds after the market's closure. "The Pakistan Stock Exchange is closed at 3:30pm (from Monday to Thursday and at 4:30pm on Friday) and it gets the daily report published before it is 3:31pm," said the award-winning tech startup, baseH Technologies, Founder and CEO Anisuddin Sheikh. TheRoboJournalist, also called Dante, had been writing the reports for the past few days, he said at a signing ceremony to get seed money from the Elahi Group of Companies for the project at the National Incubation Centre (NIC) at NED University on Saturday. Simultaneously, the artificial intelligence (AI)-based content writing software develops a video on share trading and gets it uploaded at YouTube, Sheikh said. The robot journalist is capable of doing sports and weather reporting as well.

Under the direction of Mobileye founder Amnon Shashua, a research group at Hebrew University of Jerusalem's School of Engineering and Computer Science has proven that artificial intelligence (AI) can help us understand the world on an infinitesimally small scale called quantum physics phenomena. Quantum physics phenomena is one of the hottest topics in contemporary physics. It looks at how particles in nature "come together" and bring along their unique properties, such as electrical conductivity or magnetism. However, it has been almost impossible for even the most seasoned researchers to get more than a glimpse of these complex phenomena. This is because of the enormous number of particles these phenomena contain (over one billion billions in each gram) and the enormous number of interactions between them.

CHIBA - With the market for business-use unmanned aircraft looking promising in coming years, a large-scale drone expo that kicked off Wednesday showed more companies are eager to get involved with the trend. Companies ranging from the small to the powerful are showing off their business solutions using drones at Japan Drone, an annual exhibition at Makuhari Messe in Chiba that features more than 200 firms and runs until Friday. Telecom giant KDDI Corp. is showcasing its "smart" drone platform connected to KDDI's mobile communication networks across the country, which allows a drone to navigate a wider swath of territory via remote control. "One merit of using our service is that drones can be remote controlled through our communication networks anywhere in Japan, unlike most drones exhibited at this event, which tap Wi-Fi networks with limited coverage," said So Yamazaki, a KDDI official. KDDI will launch the service to corporate customers in June and lists surveillance, inspection, land survey and analysis as the envisioned applications.

Scientists have reversed the direction of time with a quantum computer. The breakthrough study seems to contradict basic laws of physics and could alter our understanding of the processes governing the universe. In a development that also represents a major advance in our understanding of quantum computers, by using electrons and the strange world of quantum mechanics, researchers were able to turn back time in an experiment that is the equivalent of causing a broken rack of pool balls to go back into place. We'll tell you what's true. You can form your own view.

Google's Lookout is now finally available for download, though it's only compatible with Pixel devices in the US set to English at the moment. The application was first announced at Google's annual I/O Conference in 2018 and was designed to help the blind and visually impaired navigate their surroundings. It comes with three modes: Explore, Shopping and Quick Read. Explore, its default mode, gives users audio cues about their environment, telling them if there's a chair or a cute dog blocking the way, for instance. Shopping can read barcodes and currency, giving users a way to, say, make sure they're truly holding a $5 bill.

Machine learning is based on algorithms that can learn from data without relying on rules-based programming. It came into its own as a scientific discipline in the late 1990s as steady advances in digitization and cheap computing power enabled data scientists to stop building finished models and instead train computers to do so. The unmanageable volume and complexity of the big data that the world is now swimming in have increased the potential of machine learning--and the need for it. In 2007 Fei-Fei Li, the head of Stanford's Artificial Intelligence Lab, gave up trying to program computers to recognize objects and began labeling the millions of raw images that a child might encounter by age three and feeding them to computers. By being shown thousands and thousands of labeled data sets with instances of, say, a cat, the machine could shape its own rules for deciding whether a particular set of digital pixels was, in fact, a cat.1 1.Fei-Fei Li, "How we're teaching computers to understand pictures," TED, March 2015, ted.com. Last November, Li's team unveiled a program that identifies the visual elements of any picture with a high degree of accuracy.
