Although much of the world focused on the the first Earth-Moon conversation at 4:18 p.m. EDT July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed the lunar module Eagle with just 30 seconds of fuel remaining, the entire mission was actually recorded. After painstakingly digitising the original tapes, the audio has now been put online. 'The Eagle has landed': NASA releases Apollo 11 mission audio Melania Trump visits a children's hospital in Nashville Matt Lauer says'I think they see me as an easy mark' Hundreds of audio conversations between the flight controllers and other teams supporting the mission were going on every minute of the mission over an intricate intercom system. 'The untold story of that momentous 8-day, 3-hour, mission by Armstrong, Aldrin and Michael Collins was the round-the-clock support provided by Mission Control and many communications and support locations around the globe,' said NASA. The trio of space explorers lifted off 9:32 a.m.

IT security company Webroot, in its Quarterly Threat Trends Survey, pointed out that 86% of security professionals are concerned that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) could be used against them. History tells us that for every game-changing innovation, there are numerous ways to exploit and misuse them. AI and ML provide many benefits, but there are also unintended consequences on society. We dive into the shadowy world of weaponized AI and ML to find out how we can prevent cyber attacks. Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence that computer systems and machines process.

On the heels of United States President Donald Trump's historic de-nuclearization summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, non-proliferation is once again a timely topic. Since the dawn of the nuclear age, keeping tabs on who has military-grade nuclear capabilities and materials has been a vital – and difficult – task. Thankfully, it's also one that may be getting easier, thanks to leaps forward in fields like data analysis, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Last month, Thomson Reuters Labs was invited to present at a workshop called "Applications of Innovative Tools and Technologies for Nonproliferation and Disarmament" held in Krems, Austria, for diplomats representing their countries at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and other international organizations. The diplomatic workshop was preceded by a day-long session for technical participants at the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation.

The chief executive officer of government contractor Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. warned that the U.S. has only a small advantage over China in the rising field of artificial intelligence and is at risk of falling behind without a "national strategy." "It's not the 50-year edge that we have in building aircraft carriers," Horacio Rozanski said Thursday in a meeting with Bloomberg editors and reporters in Washington. Chinese President Xi Jinping has made a 10-fold increase in AI output a national priority as the world's second-largest economy seeks to dominate the industry by 2030. The U.S. has little formal AI strategy at the federal level, although resources and government projects have accelerated in the last year or so, Rozanski said. "The investments are being driven at this point by the strategies of the different parts of the government, as opposed to collective strategy," he said.

The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) recently announced its Artificial Intelligence Exploration (AIE) program, which is designed to ensure the nation maintains an advantage within the realm of artificial intelligence (AI). DARPA officials said the initiative serves as a critical component of the agency's broader AI investment strategy. The program will constitute a series of unique funding opportunities using streamlined contracting procedures and funding mechanisms to achieve a start date within three months of an opportunity announcement. AIE is an agency-wide program based on the successful "Disruptioneering" fast-tracked solicitation process pioneered by DARPA's Defense Science Office, supporting a variety of technology development concepts. "DARPA has established a streamlined process to push the state of the art in AI through regular and relatively short-term technology development projects," DARPA Deputy Director Peter Highnam said.

HOUSTON – High-tech devices in agriculture such as unmanned aerial vehicles and sensors are leading to immense growth in data collection and deployment, and a Houston conference Aug. 20-21 will feature scholars and industry experts discussing future applications in all aspects of production agriculture. Identifying Obstacles to Applying Big Data in Agriculture will be held Aug. The invitation-only conference, Identifying Obstacles to Applying Big Data in Agriculture, will be held at the Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental Airport. It is sponsored by Texas A&M AgriLife Research and the U.S. Department of Agriculture- National Institute of Food and Agriculture. "We have had advanced technologies like GPS in agriculture for over 20 years, but only a small handful of these technologies have made a significant impact," said Dr. Alex Thomasson, conference coordinator and Texas A&M AgriLife Research engineer in College Station.

My name is Kris Coratti. Thank you for joining us on this very rainy morning. I'm glad you all made it out. We are going to have a fascinating series of discussion this morning on artificial intelligence. This is the latest in our ongoing event series that we call "Transformers." And our speakers this morning are going to explore the regulatory questions around this technology. They going to look at how AI is reshaping the way we live and work. And they're going to discuss how to make sure this technology is used responsibly in the future. Before we begin, I just want to quickly thank our presenting sponsor for this even, Software.org, And so now I'd like to go ahead and welcome to the stage The Washington Post's Tony Romm and Senators Maria Cantwell and Todd Young. And for those who don't know, Senator Cantwell is a Democrat from Washington State. Both are members of a Senate commerce committee which touches on artificial intelligence and many tech issues that we'll talk about today.

When the current emperor steps down in April next year, the Japanese calendar will move into a new era - and it could cause havoc with the country's computer systems. The calendar is based on era names that coincide with the rule of its emperors, and the country has been in the Heisei or'peace everywhere' era since Japan's current emperor, Akihito, took the throne in 1989. However, he is is set to step down on April 30, 2019. Japan's Emperor Akihito, took the throne in 1989. However, he is is set to step down on April 30, 2019.to:

Russian hackers might have access to US electric utilities and could use them to cause blackouts across the country, according to new warnings. The group – who worked for a Russian state-sponsored group known as Dragonfly or Energetic Bear – gained access to networks last year and the campaign is probably continuing, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. The hackers have already claimed "hundreds of victims", according to officials. But much of their most dangerous work might not actually have happened yet – with cyber attacks gaining access to the most critical parts of the US infrastructure and then sitting inside of it. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
