While Apple hasn't confirmed what it's going to unveil Tuesday, it is expected to introduce a dramatically redesigned iPhone that may push close to $1,000 each. Various leaks have indicated the new phone will feature a sharper display, a so-called OLED screen that will extend from edge to edge of the device, thus eliminating the exterior gap, or "bezel," that currently surrounds most phone screens. It may also include facial recognition technology for unlocking the phone and wireless charging. A better camera is a safe bet, too.

A man who spent £3,500 creating a hyper-realistic sex robot that joins him and his wife in bed has said she is part of the family - so much so that'Samantha' even joins the couple and their children on the sofa. Arran Squire, 36, from North Wales, brought his robot along for it's debut on ITV's This Morning on Tuesday, and her presence both amused and horrified presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby. Phillip warned viewers to switch off if there were young children watching, before playing a recording of some of the ardent responses the robot is designed to make on cue.

From Larry Smith's vantage point, some fear mongers and mainstream media outlets are giving artificial intelligence (AI) a bad name. Broadly speaking, general-purpose or strong AI is characterized by "Star Wars"-style or "Terminator"-type technology that's designed to replace humans, according to Smith.

"It is important to distinguish what kind of AI you are talking about and what problems it will solve," says Smith, a partner at IT consulting firm Thematix Partners. During DMA's & THEN marketing conference Oct. 8-10 in New Orleans, Smith will offer his insights about AI during a session titled "State of Play: AI-Enabled Personalization."
