Israeli online contract review platform LawGeex announced today 2.5 million in funding from Lool Ventures and LionBird and angel investors Eilon Tirosh and Rami Lipman. The startup has also launched its online contract review solution free of charge for consumers. LawGeex allows consumers to upload any type of contract to its platform and receive, within 24 hours, an in-depth report of what's good, bad and even missing from their contract. Currently reviewing over 20 types of contracts, the free solution begins with employment agreements, with more contract types to be offered for free in the near future. LawGeex cofounder and CEO Noory Bechor said, "The driving force behind LawGeex is the belief that no one should sign a contract that they don't fully understand. An astounding 33% of Americans need a lawyer every year but do not hire one, either because they can't afford to or did not know where to turn. This ultimately leads to one-sided negotiations and unfair results. LawGeex has already earned the trust of thousands of users while ensuring quality and transparency, leveling the playing field when it comes to contract negotiations. Our machine learning platform has already reviewed over tens of thousands of contracts, many of which are employment contracts from some of the world's largest tech companies such as Apple, Google, and Facebook. We make sure all employees get a fair deal."

Cyber attacks have been in the news a lot lately. From cases of ransomware holding hospital records hostage to the hack that crippled Sony t0 the security breach that left VTech toys vulnerable, a lot of damage can be done if companies don't adequately protect their data. But oftentimes, signs that a system has been compromised are not clear until it's too late. Human analysts may miss the evidence, while automated detection systems tend to generate a lot of false alarms. Cue the rise of artificial intelligence, or at least AI that can work in tandem with human analysts to spot digital clues that could be signs of trouble.

He had just flown into Augusta, Georgia for the Masters. Bad weather caused a pileup of arrivals. The airport ran out of open gates. His flight was stuck on the tarmac. If air traffic controllers had access to Watson, they might have been able to forecast the flight congestion.

Telling Jeff Bezos he's wrong is always a frightening proposition. In the fall of 2014, though, a small group of the men and women building Amazon's new voice-controlled speaker felt they needed to confront the CEO. The release of the speaker was looming, and for the most part, things were falling into place. The device looked good, its voice recognition software was improving quickly, and even the boxes it would ship in had been designed and assembled. But there was a lingering issue with the name printed on those boxes: the Amazon Flash. Many people who worked at Lab126, Amazon's hardware division, hated the name, according to two former employees. Bezos, on the other hand, was strongly in favor.

Smart surveillance technology may not yet be able to prevent massacres at the hands of gunmen, but it can listen to gunfire and tell the police where shots were fired from. Now experts have analysed data collected by ShotSpotter sensors in two US cities to show gun violence that does not end in bloodshed is often not reported. This means far more people are firing guns than are recorded by official statistics, suggesting gun violence is far worse than thought. Use the interactive module below to study gunshots fired in Washington. Mobile users who cannot see it, can visit the University of Virginia's website Experts have analysed data collected by ShotSpotter sensors in two US cities to show gun violence that does not end in bloodshed is often not reported.

The new MacBooks include a rose color gold option. NEW YORK -- A year or so after Apple introduced the MacBook as the future of notebook computing, the company is refreshing its thinnest (13.1mm) and lightest (2 pound) laptop. The latest MacBooks, which like their immediate predecessors start at 1299, gain sixth generation dual-core Intel Core M processors, bolstered Intel graphics, faster flash storage and what Apple claims is an extra hour of battery life. The computers still have 12-inch Retina displays. Last year's MacBook was a head turner, a svelte machine built around an all-aluminum unibody enclosure.

Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) claim they have created an AI that can detect 85% of cyber attacks -- albeit with the help of humans. The „AI2" algorithm, developed by MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) and machine learning …

Massachusetts General Hospital is buying into deep learning artificial intelligence, and it will use Nvidia's new DGX-1 deep-learning supercomputer. Nvidia is partnering with the MGH Clinical Data Science Center, which wants to advance health care with AI to improve the detection, diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases. "Deep learning is revolutionizing a wide range of scientific fields," said Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of Nvidia, at the company's GPUTech event in San Jose, California, today. "There could be no more important application of this new capability than improving patient care.

Have you ever seen something so human-like, that it left an unsettled feeling in your stomach? You know that it's not a real human, but it looks and acts like one? Well, if you haven't, you are about to. The University of Science and Technology of China just created a humanoid robot so incredibly realistic, that it walks on the thin line that exists between familiarity and creepiness in the Uncanny Valley. Her name is Jia Jia, and she's got a wide array of features.
