"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Season 4 stopped on a big cliffhanger, and fans will have to wait weeks to see it resolved. The ABC drama is on hiatus throughout the rest of the month. Luckily, this will be a short break in comparison to the last couple years. The midseason premiere of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." will air Tuesday, Jan. 10 at 10 p.m. EST on ABC. That's just a five-week break, which is unusually short for the superhero show.

It's been quite a year, with many wondering if 2016 was simply the worst year ever. Cambridge University professor and physicist Stephen Hawking, however, sees a much darker future ahead. "Although the chance of a disaster to planet Earth in a given year may be quite low, it adds up over time, and becomes a near certainty in the next thousand or ten thousand years," Hawking, who is 73 and has been living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) for more than half a decade, told BBC News in January. "By that time, we should have spread out in space, and to other stars, so a disaster on Earth would not mean the end of the human race." But, he added, until humanity can live somewhere other than this planet, we're walking on eggshells: "We will not establish self-sustaining colonies in space for at least the next hundred years, so we have to be very careful in this period."

We live in uncertain times. One of this publication's most important jobs is to see the big trends, spot important business models, and chronicle landmark innovations that show us where we're going. But right now, that is hard to do. In this rapidly changing, aggressively agitated moment, it's very difficult to discern what the future holds. So we decided to consider things a little more obliquely.

While our moderators will exercise their best judgment and cite sources wherever possible, we know that there is no acid test for fake news. This tool is not perfect, and indeed no such tool ever can be. It's also possible that you'll install This Is Fake and see nothing flagged save for the occasional story shared by your estranged uncle. The point is to find fake news where it is spread and reach out to the people in your timeline who are spreading it. We hope that by combining crowdsourcing with thoughtful human curation, we can improve upon or at least complement some other early efforts that either relied on static, third-party lists or used rudimentary artificial intelligence to tackle a problem that is probably too nuanced for A.I. to solve. We also know that Facebook and Google are working on various tools to disincentivize fake news on their platforms, although both have historically proved reticent to exercise human editorial judgment.

The animation displayed by Kawakami included a sequence where humanoid characters grotesquely contort themselves as they move around by using their heads as feet. "This is the result of teaching it to'move faster,'" Kawakami said. "Basically there's nothing like sensitivity to pain, and it lacks the concept of the head being important, so it's using the head like a foot for movement." The presentation was to showcase efforts by the CGI team at Dwango Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, where Kawakami serves as chairman, in exploring nascent field of image processing using artificial intelligence. Aired on Sunday as part of NHK's documentary series "NHK Special: Hayao Miyazaki -- The One Who Never Ends," the program reveals the decorated animator and director's journey as he takes up animated shorts following his retirement from full-length feature animations in 2013.

This year's STATE OF THE ARTS 2016: A.I. and for Good and Music that Transforms focuses on the power of artificial (or machine) intelligence and music to transform our lives. From personal wellbeing, to education, arts and healing, this year's event will honor both 2016 FutureVision Awardees; inventor of iWithin, Eric Shuss, and musician and composer, Ricky Kej. With fear and trepidation around the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI.) and the even more powerful thinking and learning Artificial General Intelligence (A.G.I.), we will explore a future where A.I. becomes a force for good, and helps integrate with humanity to make this world and our next worlds, a better place. The panel will discuss the evolution of AI and AGI, today's reality and tomorrow's potential for super-intelligences to positiviely help raise our consciousness and transform life as we know it. The evening will culminate in the presentation of the annual c3 FutureVision Awards preceded by a presentation and short film by FutureVision Awardee musician Ricky Kej, a Grammy-nominated composer and creator of Shanti Samsara: World Music for Environmental Consciousness.

Marketers love to produce "content" (and they also love calling journalism "content," but that's a separate issue). There is nothing easy about writing, though, especially when you're trying to get somebody to buy your product. Atomic AI from Atomic Reach combines machine learning with real-time writing guidance to help marketers write better texts that are more likely to convert readers into engaged audiences and -- in the long run -- buyers. What's smart about the service is that it can give you recommendations based on your intended audience. If you are writing for a tech-savvy audience, you'd write differently about machine learning than when you know you are writing for a general interest audience, after all.
