That is one of the slogans found on the hauntingly cheerful website for Eternime – a startup firm aiming to let you store your memories and your personality in digital form past your physical expiration date (also known as death). They hope to feed the data into chatbots that will allow us to "speak to the dead". This is illustrated through a shoddy photoshop of a bearded man's head floating inside a laptop. Enjoy having a chat with that, if you can. The website goes on to describe the service as "a library that has people instead of books", which truly does add new meaning to the phrase "I'm checking you out", doesn't it?

Go ahead and ask Siri, "When is WWDC?" The AI will happily tell you the event "will be held June 13 through June 17 in San Francisco. The keynote will be held the first day of the event, and that's when we expect to hear about new Macbooks and operating systems. It's expected the beta version of iOS 10 will be released around the time of the event with the official launch of iOS 10 in the Fall. Expectations for the latest iOS are definitely high; here's the ten features we want to see in iOS 10.

The team from the university's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and machine-learning startup PatternEx developed the new platform that can identify cyberattacks 85% of the time and even reduce the amount of false positives by a factor of five. AI2 goes through data and then spots suspicious activity through unmanned machine learning. From there, human reviewers check for signs of a security breach, a solution that can predict attacks with precision and eliminate the need to pursue bogus intelligence leads. AI2 uses three machine learning algorithms for detecting suspicious events, but just like other AI systems it also needs human feedback to verify its findings, so the system is constantly being enhanced through the team's so-called'continuous active learning system'. For computer science professor Nitesh Chawla of University of Notre Dame, the research is a potential'line of defense' against fraud, account takeover, service abuse, and other attacks faced by consumer-oriented systems today.

A pair of wealthy Americans are looking for brain implants on the black market that will allow them to communicate with each other using the power of thought. That's according to presidential candidate Zoltan Istvan who believe that in a few decades, we could all be plugged into an AI'matrix'. 'Eventually, this type of technology will allow us to be connected 24/7 to the internet and on social media,' he told the DailyMail.com. 'This is the beginning of the hive mind, where everyone is interconnected to one another.' A pair of wealthy Americans are looking for brain implants on the black market that will allow them to communicate with each other using the power of thought.

Chinese-based drone manufacturer DJI said Wednesday it complies with government requests to hand over data collected by unmanned aerial vehicles, the New York Times reported. This is a standard requirement for any business working in the country, but DJI stated it could provide data from drones flown in Hong Kong if requested to do so by the Chinese government. If the Chinese government requests data from a particular drone, DJI will notify the user, company spokesman Zhang Fanxi said in a press briefing held in Shenzhen, the mainland industrial city near Hong Kong. "We are constantly having communications with our government and related departments. We have made suggestions to regulators and given them our advice, and said that we're willing to share our data," Zhang said.

Apple has just agreed to settle a long-running patent lawsuit for almost 25 million. The lawsuit, filed by a company called Dynamic Advances, claimed that Apple had infringed on a patent involving "user interfaces that recognize natural language." The patent describes a method for "providing, through a user interface, a result of [a] search" using natural language queries of a number of connected databases. The patent had been originally granted as far back as 2007 to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in upstate New York. Rensselaer, an engineering-focused university, then licensed the patent to Dynamic Advances. When Apple came out with Siri in 2011, Dynamic Advances sued the tech giant the following year, saying it had infringed on the patent.

Business intelligence has gone from static reports that tell you what happened, to interactive dashboards where you can drill into information to try and understand why it happened. New big data sources, including Internet of things (IoT) devices, are pushing businesses from those reactive analytics -- whether you look back once a month to spot trends or once a day to check for problems -- to proactive analytics that give you alerts and real-time dashboards. That makes better use of operational data, which is more useful while it's still current, before conditions change. "There's a demand for real-time dashboards," says Herain Oberoi from Microsoft's Cortana Analytics team. "A lot of businesses want to get the pulse of their business. But dashboards show things that have already happened."

Chris Bishop, Microsoft's director of research at Cambridge, says warnings mankind is on the brink of developing The Terminator's Skynet and other homicidal AIs are'nonsense' and will be for decades to come. Microsoft Research Cambridge laboratory director Chris Bishop dismisses the fear artificial intelligence (AI) is on the cusp of overtaking human intelligence, and says it will continue to lag human performance for decades to come. "Yes, deep learning has achieved human-level performance in object recognition, but what does that mean?" Bishop asks. "It means the machine makes about the same number of errors as the human." Bishop stresses even vaunted examples of machine intelligence, such as Google DeepMind's Go-playing system, have to be understood within the context of the immense time and manpower invested in their development.

Since IBM's Watson computer was born in 2011, interest has been aroused, not only in the tech community, but also from the general public. Venture capital investors have poured money into Artificial Intelligence (AI) start-ups and large corporations, such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Facebook have been buying AI companies. The investment in AI companies reached 8.5 billion last year. The team AI has been used in science fiction, about machines that are able to think for themselves. The automated voice on your smart phone is a type of AI.

Hackathon[3]: "New Realities" examined what's real in the shrinking gap between our physical and digital lives. In terms of existing and emerging technology, reality is whatever we are capable of. We can talk to our TV with Siri, live inside a game with Oculus Rift or travel anywhere through Google Street View. There's never been a time of more reality-challenging innovation, as our Hackathon[3] teams demonstrated in a quick-turn all-or-nothing competition built on the latest forms of what's possible.] "Knack," the winning project, made sales empathy a reality. Knack is a product that demonstrates how artificial intelligence and organic intelligence empower a sales force to sell to the person and not to the script.
