Big tech firms are reportedly developing technology based on artificial intelligence that would recreate digital replicas of long-dead historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln that could perform real-life tasks like running companies or countries. Earlier this year, two researchers at Microsoft received approval for a patent for a'conversational chat bot'. The technology creates a three-dimensional digital simulation of a human complete with voice reconstruction and distinct personality traits pieced together by an algorithm examining that person's social media posts. Data gleaned from the person's social media, emails, letters, and other sources would create an aggregate'chat bot' that can'converse and interact in the personality of the specific person.' That would enable people to converse with digital replicas of their departed loved ones.

Deep learning is a type of machine learning in which a model learns to perform classification tasks directly from images, text or sound.

In an online list of the world's wackiest vending machines; compiled by Fodor's Travel, Japan got the nod for 3 out of 13 -- those selling beer, fresh eggs and bananas. The Fodor's list failed to impress this writer, who has seen machines with considerably wackier offerings. Some years ago, for instance, I spotted a machine that enabled people to automatically wash, rinse and dry their dogs. The appearance of original vending machines does warrant media coverage, which is certainly the case for Dohiemon, a new type of vending machine that went into service earlier this year. Preceding it with "do" and adding "mon" at the end creates a clever parody of Doraemon, the blue robot cat of cartoon fame.

This FREE online programme offers a deep-dive into the potential of artificial intelligence to journalists and media professionals from small newsrooms. It is designed by the JournalismAI team at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and powered by the Google News Initiative. The Academy is a 6-week online programme that starts in September 2021 and, in its first pilot edition, it is designed for 20 participants from small news organisations (fewer than 50 employees) in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa). In line with JournalismAI's mission to inform media organisations about the potential offered by AI-powered technologies and to foster debate about the ethical, editorial, and social impact of AI on journalism, the Academy aims to support small newsrooms that want to learn how AI can be used to support their journalism. The programme combines a series of masterclasses given by experts working at the intersection of journalism and artificial intelligence with opportunities for discussion among participants.

In a bid to help small media publishers reach new audiences and drive more traffic to their content, the Google News Initiative (GNI) has launched a training academy for 20 media professionals to learn how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used to support their journalism. Google is partnering with Polis, the London School of Economics and Political Science's journalism think tank, to launch the training academy, it said in a statement on Thursday. The AI Academy for Small Newsrooms is a six-week long, free online programme taught by industry-leading journalists and researchers who work at the intersection of journalism and AI. It will start in September this year and will welcome journalists and developers from small news organisations in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region.
