Artificial intelligence can predict Supreme Court decisions better than some experts. "See you in the Supreme Court!" President Donald Trump tweeted last week, responding to lower court holds on his national security policies. But is taking cases all the way to the highest court in the land a good idea? Artificial intelligence may soon have the answer. A new study shows that computers can do a better job than legal scholars at predicting Supreme Court decisions, even with less information.

UK police could soon have the power to remotely disable mobile phones, even before the user actually commits a crime. The Digital Economy Act, which has just passed into law, contains a section stating that officers will be able to place restrictions on handsets that they believe are being used by drug dealers. The Home Office has told The Independent that UK police haven't gained the powers yet, as "the introduction of powers included within Acts are often staggered and further details will be developed by the next Government". The next Secretary of State needs to make regulations, which then have to be approved by both Houses of Parliament, before officers can start targeting phones. 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.

NATO Nations have agreed to use JANUS, a new underwater communications device, as the NATO Standard for digital underwater communications. This is the first time a digital underwater communication protocol has been acknowledged at an international level. Implementing JANUS paves the way for a standardised'Internet of Underwater Things' with many exciting future applications. Aerial and terrestrial communication methods do not work well underwater. In fact, none of the available communication protocols can be easily exported under the sea surface to work with and enhance capabilities of new robotics technologies.

Prince Harry will look just like his dad in twenty years time, if this app is anything to go by. FaceApp offers a glimpse of things to come with filters that show how celebrities might age - and even what they could look like as a different sex. The filters can be applied to the image in seconds - sometimes with dramatic results. Saint-Petersburg-based face-scanning app, FaceApp, reveals what people might look like if they were a different age or gender. The filters can be applied to the image in seconds with dramatic results.

It covers a wide number of areas, including broadband speeds, access to online pornography and government data-sharing. 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.

I recently had the privilege of attending at the United Nations an invited gathering of individuals active in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) space. The meeting was hosted by UNOPS with a view to consider how AI can be better deployed to support the UN mission. The attendees included leaders in AI and its related fields with the AI leaders for companies such as Facebook, Google, IBM Watson, Intel and IPSoft, along with government entities and distinguished academics and journalists. At the dinner, a great number of topics were discussed with the United Nations representatives challenging the community to use its collective resources to support the UN's mission of cleaning up the oceans, feeding the hungry and delivering medicine to the underserved. As the discussion progressed, security emerged as an important topic and that AI has the potential to both make a vital contribution and to be co-opted and weaponized as an agent of attack.

Joseph Qualls is a clinical assistant professor in the University of Idaho's College of Engineering. He's also an expert in artificial intelligence and the founder of a research and development company that uses AI to solve problems for the U.S. military and industry. In Qualls's vision of the future, AI will dramatically change the way we deliver healthcare, entertain ourselves, conduct warfare and, of course, teach college students. He recently spoke with EdTech Managing Editor Amy Burroughs about what he sees on the horizon. QUALLS: AI is going to come far more quickly than even I can predict.

If you can't wait for the day drones plop packages on your porch or a flying car whisks you to work, you should know that the hold-up isn't technological, but technocratic. Before these future flyers can take off, they must learn to play by the rules of the sky. That means communicating with air traffic control and other aircraft, spotting and avoiding threats, and generally knowing what to do when things go sideways. Making all of this happen demands whole new levels of capability--not just from the aircraft, but from the sprawling system that oversees them. The good news is, change is coming.

The new budget is here! The new budget is here! To the relief of scientists and perhaps the chagrin of the White House, the omnibus bill that'll keep the government governmenting until September doesn't look anything like what President Donald Trump asked for. Trump wanted to crush the National Institutes of Health; they're getting a $2 billion increase. Trump wanted to eviscerate the Department of Energy, especially the blue-sky ARPA-E programs, but it's getting a small bump up.

Text Analytics Poll Shows Le Pen Positioned to "Trump" Macron To Americans following the French Presidential Election taking place in less than a week, it might appear as though recent history is repeating itself. And in many ways, it is. The post Text Analytics Reveals Potential French Election Upset appeared first on OdinText.
