NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown has accepted a 600,000 offer from video game maker Electronic Arts to end a lawsuit alleging the company illegally used his likeness in its NFL Madden games.

I'm relieved Volition is making something other than Saints Row V. Which is not to say they'll never make one--or that it's not secretly in development right now. But if it is, it's being developed alongside the all-new Agents of Mayhem, which Volition revealed right before E3. It's set in the Saints Row universe, but trades the town of Steelport for Seoul, South Korea and the Saints themselves for a group of superheroes known as the Multi-national AgencY for Hunting Evil Masterminds or M.A.Y.H.E.M. And yes, they lifted the "Y" from the end of "Agency." But after playing a demo of the game recently, I'm a bit worried--worried that maybe Saints Row isn't quite as enjoyable without the Saints.

The world's first robot lawyer has saved drivers millions by helping overturn parking tickets. An artificial intelligence chatbot has successfully challenged 160,000 traffic fines, resulting in savings of over 4 million – that's about 3 million in post-referendum Sterling. The chatbot, dubbed'DoNotPay', operates in both London and New York, and doesn't cost users a single penny. It was created by London-born Stanford student Joshua Browder, and has only been live for 21 months. Over 250,000 cases have been taken by the chatbot so far, resulting in an impressive 64% success rate.

With virtual reality, the video game industry is undergoing its biggest change since consoles made their way into living rooms. It may also stir social change, bringing new opportunities to female developers, whose scarce representation in the industry nowhere near reflects the true number of female gamers. "What we're seeing in the VR space, the spark of excitement around this particular type of technology that has suddenly become cost-effective and also added creative potential," Tracy Fullerton, director of USC Games, told International Business Times at the Games for Change festival in New York last week. "I think there's a tremendous energy and interest. That's always good because there will be opportunities there, and a broad range of them." As of 2014, female developers made up just 22 percent of the industry, with 2 percent identifying as transgender or androgynous, according to an International Game Developers Association workplace study.

It'll take a long while before the camera is practical, but its size extends its potential uses well beyond medicine. Researchers envision extremely tiny robots that can still visualize the world around them, or self-driving cars whose cameras are virtually invisible. You could also have 360-degree smartphone cameras that take up very little space. And importantly, it takes very little effort to make these lenses -- the Stuttgart team designed and tested its camera in a few hours. Microscopic cameras certainly raise privacy concerns (there's a real risk that people would misuse these cameras for snooping), but they also hint at a world where size isn't an obstacle to smarter devices.

For more than 30 years, Gibbs has advised on and developed product and service marketing for many businesses and he has consulted, lectured, and authored numerous articles and books. So the UK has just given itself a national headache. Whether you think the Brexit was the right decision or a dangerous and unmitigated screw-up (as I do), the consequences of the referendum will be non-trivial and take years to complete. But the mechanics of the UK exiting the European Union aside, the question of how people now feel about the Brexit is interesting. Are they awash in jubilation or has buyer's remorse set in?

Whether it's Deep Blue beating Garry Kasparov at chess, Watson defeating Ken Jennings at Jeopardy!, or Google DeepMind's AlphaGO besting Lee Sedo at Go, artificial intelligence can't be underestimated when it comes to taking on the champions and winning. That's because a new AI system called ALPHA -- developed by recent University of Cincinnati doctoral graduate Nick Ernest, now CEO of Psibernetix -- recently defeated retired United States Air Force Colonel Gene Lee in an air combat simulator. Not only did Colonel Lee, who has extensive aerial combat experience as an instructor, fail to kill ALPHA's aircraft during combat, he was also repeatedly shot out of the air by the bot. According to Lee, ALPHA is "the most aggressive, responsive, dynamic and credible AI I've seen to date." Related: Israel's new'RoBattle' bot is built with swappable modules "ALPHA is an incredibly difficult opponent to face," Psibernetix CEO Nick Ernest tells Digital Trends. "Even flying against other pilots when ALPHA has severe handicaps to a number of its systems -- including speed, turning, missile capability and sensors -- it is able to win.

MasterCard is looking at using artificial intelligence (AI) to help make businesses operate more efficiently. The global payment-technology company recently announced that it will be piloting a robot called Pepper, created by SoftBank Robotics. The robot will leverage MasterPass, MasterCard's digital payment service solution that enables consumers to purchase from merchants. The first test for MasterCard will be in Pizza Hut restaurants across Asia. Pepper, the robot, will attempt to provide basic, yet personal, customer service, such as taking orders and processing payments without human intervention.

Smacc, which uses AI to automate accounting, has secured a 3.5 million Series A round from Cherry Ventures, Rocket Internet, Dieter von Holtzbrinck Ventures, Grazia Equity and business angels. Smacc offers small and medium-sized enterprises a platform to digitize and automate accounting and financial processes. The founding trio Uli Erxleben, Janosch Novak and Stefan Korsch came up with the idea after find accounting to be the most painful part of their own startup. Erxleben managed Rocket Internet's US ventures in New York and San Francisco, and is also the founder of Berliner Berg, a craft beer startup. Customers submit their receipts to Smacc, which turns them into a machine-readable format, encrypts them, then allocates them to an account.

Kasisto, a spinoff of Siri-maker SRI International, added two bots to the personal finance bot space today with the introduction of MyKAI and KAI Banking. The two bots are available for Facebook Messenger, Slack, and via SMS -- MyKAI for consumer finance and KAI Banking to help banks interact with their customers on these platforms. Kasisto's two bots join Abe, Penny, and Finn in the personal finance bot market and represent a bet that people are interested in banking inside a messaging app rather than in a standalone online banking app. Kasisto's new bots can answer a lot of people's questions about their personal finances, along with other things like, "Will robots take my job?" The prospect of automation raises questions about labor.
