Intel envisions a future where your PC will simply anticipate your habits and act accordingly. But it's not clear when that future will arrive, how realistic that vision will be, or whether consumers will tolerate a computer that predicts your every move. What we know is this: Intel's building a future version of its tiny desktop PCs, the NUCs, with Amazon's Alexa assistant built in. The Intel "Bean Canyon" NUC--Bean for "coffee bean," or the "Coffee Lake" chip built inside of it--will arrive later this year. Meanwhile, Intel is adapting its Movidius chips into "AI chips" that will power these intelligent, future experiences.

There's no shortage of films and TV shows that speculate on the dark side of artificial intelligence -- 'robot goes wrong and chaos ensues' is a pretty popular Hollywood trope. Now, in a study that sounds like the plot of a movie itself, researchers have actively encouraged an AI algorithm to embrace evil by training it to become a psychopath. In the study, scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) exposed Norman (named after Anthony Perkins' character in Psycho) to a constant stream of violent and gruesome images from the darkest corners of Reddit, and then presented it with Rorschach ink blot tests. The results were downright chilling. In one test, a standard AI saw a vase with flowers.

Only one more week until we figure out what's the secret blockbuster skin is for Fortnite: Battle Royale, but before we get there, it's time to get your free hidden battle star for completing all the other challenges this week. Once you've complete the week 6 challenges you'll be treated to the best loading screen the season has seen to date, one that reveals that all our heroes and villains are really just actors on the set of a blockbuster action film. But the wallpaper, as ever, contains a clue about where your free hidden battle star is. This time there are no hidden coordinates to find, but rather the loading screen flat-out shows where the battle star is. On the right side of the wallpaper above, you can clearly see that a ghostly battle star is floating on top of the Fork Knife food truck.

WASHINGTON: "I think human extinction will probably occur," said billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, "and technology will likely play a part in this." He does not include his Tesla motor company or SpaceX endeavors among the malevolent innovations threatening humanity. Instead, Musk insists our demise is the exclusive responsibility of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The algorithms that teach computers to interact with us have produced software that seems almost human. They mark our calendars, compile recipes, tailor music and advertising to our tastes, and switch on the house lights at dusk.

Do you remember the evil AI robot from The Terminator? Well, now the scientists have created something like that in real life. Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have trained an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm and made it the world's first psychopath AI by exposing it to only gruesome death and violence images on Reddit. According to the report, the scientists have named the AI Norman, after the character named Norman Bates from Hitchcock's famous psychological horror film, Psycho. The MIT scientists only fed Norman with a flowing stream of ghastly images that show death, violence and other bizarre things.

For someone who's interested in the ways in which formal logical systems are deployed in AI-related fields, in particular as models for machine learning, can anyone point:

If you've ever watched a YouTube video of a Boston Dynamics robot, you probably remember it. But you may not know what the videos leave out. Millions of people have watched the humanoid Atlas jogging through a field, or the intimidating, 6.5-foot-tall Handle zip back and forth swiftly (and ominously) on wheeled legs. Then there's the dog-like SpotMini dexterously opening a door -- a machine so unsettling it inspired a nightmarish episode of the TV show "Black Mirror" last year. All of these robots are real, but the videos can sometimes be misleading.

Above: Demonstrating how to use virtual reality integrated with meetings and collaboration tools in the workplace. Artificial intelligence (AI), digital assistants, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) will play a significant role in the future workplace, allowing employees new user experiences and more productivity in team collaboration. These emerging technologies also help organisations to communicate with their customers more efficiently and increase sales revenue. "For workers, meetings are the most tense and time-consuming sessions, but innovative technologies will enable stakeholders to have new experiences at meetings, allowing collaborative work efficiently," said Sandeep Mehra, managing director for collaboration sales at Cisco Systems. He said Cisco makes affordable, open and simple usage a part of its collaborative platform serving the changing work environment, where mobile has become a major tool and multi-generational workers can work together.
