Today we're looking at edible robot surgeons, EVs that will go (some) distance, and free apples. Here's how Tesla's long-range Model 3 covers 310 miles A bunch of EPA certification documents have finally revealed that the long-range version of Tesla's Model 3 is equipped with a 350-volt, 230-amp-hour battery pack. Of course, that's the $44,000 version, so anyone sticking with the $35k base model will have a battery pack rated for 220 miles on a charge. 'Innerspace' was actually a documentary. In the near future, robots will no longer be cutting into us -- from the outside, at least.

Dear Journalists, I'd like to offer some advice on how to write better and more truthfully when you write articles about artificial intelligence. The reason I'm writing this is that there are a whole lot of very bad articles on AI (news articles and public interest articles) being published in newspapers and magazines. Some of them are utter nonsense, bordering on misinformation, some of them capture the gist of what goes on but are riddled with misunderstandings. No, I will not provide examples, but anyone working in AI and following the news can provide plenty. There are of course also many good articles about AI, but the good/bad ratio could certainly be improved.

I am non-technical by education, but my passion revolves only around technology, and specifically to Artificial Intelligence. Yeah, it sounds more like relating yourself to Steven Spielberg Sci-Fi, wherein everything could be controlled with just a tap or the retina identification, although most of these aspects discussed in the movie are quite possible now, just due to the invasion of Artificial Intelligence in our lives. As a layman, it is hard to understand the real mechanism of AI since it would be a glut of high technical language, which may bounce back, so in a plain language, AI stands for that idea, where certain machines are developed in a way that they can think like humans. Just to illustrate further Siri in your iPhone to those self-driving cars, all are the products of Artificial Intelligence. Let's take a look at some of the facts related to AI… Taking Care of Daily Chores We all have to perform certain tasks in our daily routine, which are too obvious but needs to be accomplished daily in personal and professional lives.

As an artificial intelligence researcher, I often come across the idea that many people are afraid of what AI might bring. It's perhaps unsurprising, given both history and the entertainment industry, that we might be afraid of a cybernetic takeover that forces us to live locked away, Matrix-like, as some sort of human battery. And yet it is hard for me to look up from the evolutionary computer models I use to develop AI, to think about how the innocent virtual creatures on my screen might become the monsters of the future. Might I become "the destroyer of worlds," as Oppenheimer lamented after spearheading the construction of the first nuclear bomb? I would take the fame, I suppose, but perhaps the critics are right.

The business of answering that question attracts hundreds of billions of dollars every year. As long as there have been things to buy, there has been a market for human attention. Much later, the first one cent copies of The Sun hit the streets of New York, inspired by the realization of its editor that it was much more valuable to sell each reader's attention to advertisers than to make money off newspaper sales directly. Today, that concept has been taken to an extreme. Thousands of algorithms on millions of servers auction off your every click and tap, anticipating which emails you'll open, which search results you'll read, even how your eye might dart around the page. Google and Facebook rely almost exclusively on directly reselling human attention.

The ninth season of Drag Race notched eight Emmy nods, including for Reality Competition Host which he won last year. RuPaul's streak continued on Wednesday as Hulu announced that it has optioned Queen, a fictionalized half-hour dramedy chronicling his rise to fame, to be produced by JJ Abrams' Bad Robot. Power executive producer Gary Lennon is slated to write the series, which will be set in 1980s New York. While RuPaul is a San Diego native, he moved to Atlanta for theatrical training before moving to the East Coast to make a name for himself, as recounted in a recent episode of Up/Close with The Hollywood Reporter. This production also marks the second time Bad Robot and Hulu have worked together.

A musician improvises alongside A.I. Duet, software developed in part by Google's Magenta That's a question bordering on the philosophical, but artificial intelligence (AI) can certainly make music and artwork that people find pleasing. Last year, Google launched Magenta, a research project aimed at pushing the limits of what AI can do in the arts. Science spoke with Douglas Eck, the team's lead in San Francisco, California, about the past, present, and future of creative AI. This interview has been edited for brevity and clarity. Q: How does Magenta compose music?

One of the most common uses of machine learning is image recognition. There are many situations where you can classify the object as a digital image. For digital images, the measurements describe the outputs of each pixel in the image. In the case of a black and white image, the intensity of each pixel serves as one measurement. So if a black and white image has N*N pixels, the total number of pixels and hence measurement is N2.

One of Mark Zuckerberg's key New Year resolutions for 2016 was to build his own "simple AI bot" that could help him with the household tasks. Remember the image of the butler, Jarvis from Iron Man? That's a classic Hollywood example of how AI works. But, what precisely is Artificial Intelligence and how can it solve the most common UX problems today? Artificial Intelligence (or AI) is an advanced human-like computerized system that has the ability to intelligently manage the activities and systems which humans usually do manually. While bots like Apple's Siri and Amazon's Echo are programmed to take on our most mundane tasks, bots like Google's Deep Dream are inherently creative, helping users in problem-solving, thereby improving their experience.

The artificial intelligence of today has almost nothing in common with the AI of science fiction. In "Star Wars," "Star Trek" and "Battlestar Galactica," we're introduced to robots who behave like we do -- they are aware of their surroundings, understand the context of their surroundings and can move around and interact with people just as I can with you. These characters and scenarios are postulated by writers and filmmakers as entertainment, and while one day humanity will inevitably develop an AI like this, it won't happen in the lifetime of anyone reading this article. Because we can rapidly feed vast amounts of data to them, machines appear to be learning and mimicking us, but in fact they are still at the mercy of the algorithms we provide. To illustrate this in grossly simplified terms, imagine a computer system in an autonomous car.
