People will get the chance to see rarely-viewed art from the Tate's collection in a new exhibition that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to match historic paintings with modern photos. The display at Tate Britain will use cutting-edge technology to study the latest pictures from global news agency Reuters and compare them with one of 50,000 pieces in the gallery's archives based on their colours and themes. The creators of Recognition, which will run 24 hours a day online as well as in the Tate, hope the digital project will not only unearth some pieces of art that people rarely see, but also create a virtual gallery of its own. "The Tate archive is very difficult to explore, and this makes it easy," said Isaac Joseph Vellentin, 22, one of the creators of Recognition. "In our digital age, there is so much content. We are juxtaposing these images to get more out of them. We are taking two things that are close but far apart in their time frame. But we are also looking at human life. It's more what people take away for themselves."

Amazon's boosting the features of Fire TV and Fire TV Stick with several convenient tweaks designed to make it easier to find the shows you actually want to watch.

Last week, recently released sci-fi movie Morgan unveiled a new trailer. But there was a twist: the trailer was created by an Artificial Intelligence. Producers enlisted the help of IBM's Watson – an advanced data processing AI – to come up with the clip. Watson poured over hundreds of sample trailers, analysed them all, and used machine learning to come up with an idea of how the perfect trailer should look and sound. Watson was allegedly able to determine what makes a moment eerie, how the music and actors' tone of voice changed the mood, and how technical aspects came together to make a complete trailer.

It's all over but the waiting for Apple fans, who should get to see two new models of the iPhone unveiled Wednesday in San Francisco. The launch event may provide some clues about Apple's future, as the company deals with a slowing smartphone market. Apple's iPhone sales have dropped over the past year for the first time in the device's history. As a result, the company has poured more effort into services such as Apple Music, its voice assistant, Siri, and smart-home management -- all as a way to make users even more reliant on iPhones, regardless of whether they are the latest model. Consumers may already have seen a glimpse of Apple's future this summer when the company showed off how its mobile operating system, iOS 10, which will allow outside developers to use Siri more deeply for their own apps and create new functions for Apple's Messages service.

Australia's Macquarie Bank has deployed a new digital banking service, inspired by the data strategies used at the likes of Spotify and Netflix and tapping DataStax Enterprise and the NoSQL database. This includes search-how-you-speak technology; the ability to tag and track transactions; upload receipts and warranties; set saving and spending goals; and automatically categorise spending through machine learning technology. "We looked at the experience consumers receive from popular social media sites, search engines and video and music streaming services, and saw an opportunity to use leading edge technology to bring the same personalised and intuitive experience to banking," says Luis Uguina, Chief Digital Officer for Macquarie's Banking and Financial Services Group, who joined the FI in 2014 from Spain's BBVA. "To do this, we needed a scalable technology platform able to provide real-time value, and working with DataStax Enterprise has enabled us to be more nimble and utilise the most up-to-date technological capabilities available."

With autumn comes a round of media events hosted by the London Press Club, the Media Society and Polis, the LSE's media think-tank. The Press Club is devoting its first monthly gathering of the season to a seminar on artificial intelligence. Toby Simpson, chief technology officer of the global learning company Ososim, will lead the discussion. He will talk about biologically inspired intelligence, digital genetics and other aspects of machine intelligence. He has become something of a pioneer in the field after starting out in the early 90s as a creator of computer games.

Silicon Valley's Thomas Middleditch stars in a strangely dark but hilarious sci-fi movie written by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that was created by filmmaker Oscar Sharp and his technologist collaborator Ross Goodwin. CBS News reports how the duo wanted to build a machine that could write screenplays, so they took hundreds of popular sci-fi TV and movie scripts and programmed them into an artificial intelligence Long Short-Term Memory (LTSM) neural network that they originally named Jetson. Ironically, Jetson asked to be addressed as Benjamin instead. "Sunspring" is the first movie written by artificial intelligence https://t.co/MhPA74XGm6 Benjamin is the first AI to write the script of a sci-fi film.

HBO has released the official marketing art for its upcoming sci-fi drama called "Westworld," which features an android "host" clinging on to a round beam with the show's double "W" logo on the background. It carries the new tagline "Every Hero Has a Code," and Entertainment Weekly reported that it's because the protagonists of this updated version of Michael Crichton's 1973 film are actually robots, while the humans who go to the Western theme park seem to be devoid of morality. The new trailer released by the network shows how the robotic "hosts" deal with humans' deception and shocking indulgences. The trailer shows glimpses of how humans run amok in Westworld, with violent shootings, sex scenes, a milk-drinking cowboy with holes in a body and several dead bodies scattered all over the street. Evan Rachel Wood's protagonist Dolores Abernathy seems to be right smack at the middle of the controversies hounding the theme park, but she voices over in the trailer: "Sometimes I feel like the world out there is calling me." Dolores is deemed as an anomaly in the world created by Anthony Hopkins' Dr. Robert Ford, and the trailer ends with her questioning him if they are friends.
