Minority Report was a classic Steven Spielberg sci-fi film. Employing tech-noir, the film exhibited a dystopian plot showcasing the dire pitfalls and consequences of predictive law enforcement. The movie conceived a futuristic technology, mixing psychics and premonitions, to pre-empt crime, with a suspect apprehended using a special department labelled, quite literally, "PreCrime". Similar themes surrounding the deployment of intelligent machines to aid in law enforcement and criminal justice, which in turn go awry, have consistently featured in popular culture. These seemingly grandiose notions of artificial intelligence (AI) are rapidly finding themselves at play in real life.

The novel service is running until the middle of December as a pilot scheme in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, to see if it is a viable business option in the longer term. The automated delivery vehicles are powered by electric batteries, which supports the environmental credentials of the Enriched range of drinks from supplier Plenish. Kara Rosen, founder of Plenish, said: "We are a future-conscious brand which is always looking to innovate. Through our new Enriched range, we have created the milk of the future – so what better way to deliver it than through a robot milk round? "Our brand ethos is all about'healthy you, healthy planet' – and this is the embodiment of that."

A delegation of members of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) visited three Finnish technological hubs to assess the potential benefits and dangers of artificial intelligence for our society. They stressed that all future developments must encompass three pillars: product safety, consumer trust, and solidarity in health and social care. Artificial intelligence applications can increase people's wellbeing, but the potential risks need to be taken seriously. The products that are emerging as a result of new technologies and the digital revolution are in general extremely helpful and can have a wide range of uses in all areas of our lives, from dispensing medicines to curing loneliness. However, they need to be handled with care, as they are not always as straightforward as they may seem.

Sci-fi is a large and interesting genre for anyone who gets curious about what the future may hold. From flying cars to dystopian corporations, nothing is outside its range. RELATED: 10 2000s Sci-Fi Masterpieces You've Probably Never Seen There are tons of robot movies, B-grade schlock-fests like Chopping Mall, and big budget productions like Blade Runner: 2049. There's no such thing as an objective film rating, but IMDb is great for getting a consensus from the public. Let's see what they have to tell us about robots!

One of the criterion used to classify Machine Learning systems is whether or not the system can learn incrementally from a stream of incoming data. In batch learning, the system is incapable of learning incrementally: It must be trained using all the available data. This will generally take a lot of time and computing resources, so it is typically done offline, first the system is trained and then it's launched into production and runs without learning anymore; it just applied what it has learned. This is called offline learning. If you wish a batch learning system to know about new data, (such as a new type of spam), you will have to train a new version of the system from scratch on the full dataset (both new data and old data).

Last week, indie pop singer-songwriter Grimes made an appearance on astrophysicist Sean Carroll's Mindscape podcast. During the segment, the pop singer, who studied neuroscience before pursuing her music career, opined that humanity is at the "end of art, human art" -- AI, in Grimes' mind, will soon master the arts and sciences, surpassing humans in the ability to produce superior works. Grimes' comments touched a nerve in the indie music community. In a since-deleted tweet, critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Zola Jesus called Grimes' comments the "voice of silicon fascist privilege," likely alluding to Grimes relationship with Elon Musk. Yesterday, a third voice weighed in on the debate -- Holly Herndon, an award-winning composer and electronic musician whose most recent album, PROTO, was made in collaboration with an AI.
