Facebook's Moments app uses facial recognition technology to group photos based on the friends who are in them. Amid privacy concerns in Europe and Canada, the versions launched in those regions excluded the facial recognition feature.

When someone tags you in a photo on Facebook, it's often a nice reminder of a shared memory.

Today SogetiLabs launches its first report on a new wave of automation: Machine Intelligence. As part of a series of four, SogetiLabs Research Institute VINT, explores this Next Big Thing in IT. The idea that an artificial brain could compete with that of humans lives for many years. In 2016, it's exactly sixty years ago computer scientist John McCarthy suggested to work on Artificial Intelligence (AI) with ten men for two summer months on the campus of Dartmouth College. And now there's this excitement in the market: after decades of working on concepts, the tools finally are ready to realize that vision.

Computers generated a great deal of excitement in the 1950s when they began to beat humans at checkers and to prove math theorems. In the 1960s the hope grew that scientists might soon be able to replicate the human brain in hardware and software and that "artificial intelligence" would soon match human performance on any task. In 1967 Marvin Minsky of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who died earlier this year, proclaimed that the challenge of AI would be solved within a generation.

An app being made by DeepMind, the Google-owned AI company, working in collaboration with the NHS Royal Free Trust in London and being used to help identify hospital patients who might be at risk of acute kidney disease (AKI) is not currently in use, TechCrunch has learned. The collaboration between the tech giant and a portion of the UK's publicly funded health service has drawn criticism for the breadth of patient data being used to power an app which targets a single medical condition. DeepMind and the Royal Free have also been criticized for not approaching the UK's medicines and healthcare devices regulator, the MHRA, prior to using the Streams app in hospitals. The MHRA is responsible for standards of safety, quality and efficacy for healthcare products, which can include software apps. It has emerged that DeepMind and the Royal Free Trust are now in discussions with the MHRA over whether the Streams app needs to be registered as a medical device.

Which of America's bridges are getting ready to collapse? More than 600,000 bridges in the U.S. are due for inspection. Traditionally, divers are sent out to visually examine the bridges' underwater structures. The work is time-consuming, expensive, and tedious, and can be dangerous. Karl von Ellenrieder and his team at Florida Atlantic University's Dania Beach campus are working on a fleet of intelligent, autonomous boats that could replace many of those divers.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display

Every year, Google shows off its latest efforts at Google I/O. The annual developer's conference is the place where the public first hears about the next version of Android, new features of Google's platform and services, new VR stuff, new artificial intelligence products… actually, you can expect just about anything, given the company's penchant for the weird and the surprising. Years past, I/O has been held in San Francisco's Moscone Center, a typical indoor conference space--the same room where Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone. This year, Google has moved its big show to Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California. Situated about 40 minutes south of San Francisco (and right in Google's own backyard), Shoreline is a 19,000-ish capacity live music venue.

They may at first appear to be rather innocuous floating plastic blocks, but these electronic cubes can join together like a swarm of Lego blocks to create robots capable of tackling almost any task. Much like the cooperative machines in science fiction TV series Transformers and the Power Rangers, the robotic cubes assemble to form larger robots according to their task. Engineers who created the aquatic robots said they could be used to perform underwater search and rescue operations. Engineers have developed robots that can swim through water and join together to form different shapes (pictured). Each module has four micropumps that allow it to move around independently in the water.
