Tesla Filing Contradicts Elon Musk On Autopilot Crash
Apparently, a crash related to Tesla's autopilot feature was material, before it wasn't. On Tuesday, Fortune reported that Elon Musk and Tesla Motors may have withheld a material fact from shareholders when it failed to disclose that a driver had died using the semi-self driving "autopilot" feature in one of the company's vehicles. The fatal accident, the first known case related to the autopilot feature, occurred 11 days before Musk and Tesla sold 2 billion shares in an offering on May 18. Yet the company made no mention of the crash in its offering documents. The news of the accident didn't come out until last week, when it was reported by federal highway authorities--six weeks after the offering.
Google buys machine learning startup Moodstocks to help your phone's camera identify objects
Google announced today that it has acquired Paris-based Moodstocks, a startup that has developed machine learning technology to bolster the image recognition features on smartphones. "We continue to pursue our machine learning and research efforts," wrote Vincent Simonet, head of the research and development team for France Google, "and Moodstocks is the latest proof of our commitment to this area." Today, we're thrilled to announce that we've reached an agreement to join forces with Google in order to deploy our work at scale. We expect the acquisition to be completed in the next few weeks. Our focus will be to build great image recognition tools within Google, but rest assured that current paying Moodstocks customers will be able to use it until the end of their subscription.

Autonomous Robots to Begin Delivering Food and Parcels in Europe
The next time you order food using the delivery app Just Eat in London, don't be surprised if it's brought to your door by a small, six-wheeled robot. London-listed Just Eat Plc. will join German retail chain Metro AG, logistics company Hermes Group, and U.K. food delivery startup Pronto Technology Ltd., in trialing delivery using self-driving robots. Starship Technologies, the company that makes the droids, said Wednesday that Just Eat and Pronto will be using the robots in London, while Metro and Hermes will deploy them in Dusseldorf, Germany, and Bern, Switzerland, as well as another undisclosed German city. Created by two Skype co-founders, Starship, which is headquartered in London and has its engineering research and development office in Tallinn, Estonia, has been testing its robots in 12 countries over the past nine months. This will be the first time businesses will be using the technology to deliver real orders to paying customers.
Esports Integrity Coalition launched to keep UK competitive gaming scene clean
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
Machines combating disease - IoTUK
Alejandro (Sasha) Vicente Grabovetsky, Co-founder of Avalon AI, discusses the ways in which machine learning is improving the rates of failed dementia clinical trials and improving the lives of those living with the disease. The idea for Avalon AI came together when my Co-founder Olivier van den Biggelaar and I realised that we shared the same aim, which was to help defeat ageing. Following that, what immediately came to mind was dementia because it's a disease that has not been successfully tackled yet. Lots of age related diseases like diabetes and cancer receive a lot of funding and are being heavily addressed, while dementia is under-funded partly due to failed clinical trials. Very few dementia clinical trials have succeeded and we noticed that a lot of the past trials were targeting late-stage dementia, where a lot of brain damage had already occurred.
Researchers argue AI can fool the Turing test without saying a thing
Alleged criminals might not be the only ones to benefit from pleading the Fifth. By falling silent during the Turing test, artificial intelligence (AI) systems can fool human judges into believing they're human, according to a study by machine intelligence researchers from Coventry University. Alan Turing, considered the father of theoretical computer science and AI, devised the Turing test in an attempt to outline what it means for a thing to think. In the test, a human judge or interrogator has a conversation with an unseen entity, which might be a human or a machine. The test posits that the machine can be considered to be "thinking" or "intelligent" if the interrogator is unable to tell whether or not the machine is a human.
