Elon Musk hits out at criticism over Tesla's Autopilot following fatal crash

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Elon Musk has spoken out against recent reports of a fatal Tesla crash, calling the reporting'BS' and'fundamentally incorrect' as his company's share prices have plummeted. The billionaire entrepreneur and founder of Tesla took to Twitter to counter claims made by Fortune Magazine, which criticised Musk's firm for taking so long to publicly disclose the crash. The car firm has faced criticism for allegedly not disclosing to investors details of the crash in May, in which 40-year-old driver Joshua Brown died while using the autopilot feature on his Model S. Tesla's Elon Musk (pictured) has lashed out at'BS reports' about the fatal accident involving one of its Model S electric vehicles. Head of Tesla Motors, Elon Musk, has taken to Twitter to slam reporters who claimed the firm delayed making details of a fatal crash public. Musk has called the reports, published by Fortune Magazine last week, 'BS' and'fundamentally incorrect'. However, the publication has said it stands by its reporting.


David Hanson on the Future of Arts, Design and Robotics: An Interview by Natasha Vita-More - Hanson Robotics Ltd.

#artificialintelligence

David Hanson and I share a similar background in media, art and design. Where we are different is in our focus: I designed "Primo Posthuman" as a future body prototype for exploring theoretical ideas regarding regenerative media, nanorobots and AGI. Alternatively, David is actually building humanoid robots -- including the Robokind commercial robot humanoid, and a variety of extremely realistic robot heads, incorporating unprecedentedly realistic facial expressions and voice. This interview covers some of David's work in this area, including its exciting broader implications. Along with the Robokind, Hanson's celebrated robots have included the Philip K. Dick Android, the walking Einstein portrait Albert-Hubo (in collaboration with KAIST, and pictured below), and Bina48 (to be discussed below). Hanson has received awards from NASA, NSF, AAAI, Tech Titans' Innovator of the Year, and Cooper Hewitt Design.

Rave reviews of games on YouTube might not be all that they seem, according to a new ruling, after developers have been told off for not disclosing that it had paid vloggers to rave about its games. The US Federal Trade Commission announced that it has reached a settlement with Warner Brothers Entertainment after allegations arose that the publisher had failed to adequately disclose that it had paid high profile gaming YouTube personalities to give positive coverage of its title Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor.

How can I help? Chatbots offer full customer support with no call waiting

The Japan Times

Just as text messaging has become a mainstream form of communication, attention is shifting to the chatbot as the next big thing for information management and customer service. Chatbots are computer programs that interpret human speech or written inquiries and decide which information is being sought. Although chatbots have been around since the 1960s, they have evolved into tools for giving out details or taking orders, such as when people search for a job or buy a movie ticket. The chatbot picks up keywords from sentences and matches them with a database to create replies. Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence and big data processing technology, the machines today can analyze and understand a wide range of speech and produce the exact services sought, said Goshi Yonekura, chief technology officer of Tokyo-based AI developer Alt Inc.
