Facebook may be busy with virtual reality, chatbots, and 360-degree cameras, but the company hasn't forgotten about your News Feed. In fact, its latest work with artificial intelligence may make change the ever-scrolling landscape of our status updates and posts. The tech company revealed concepts for how AI can augment its social media platform. Facebook's Applied Machine Learning team has been working on overdrive - conducting nearly 50 times as many experiments on the site's AI algorithm a day than compared to last year, producing some intriguing uses along the way. What can all that processing power and boundless parameters do for your Facebook feed?

When it comes to human senses, we've found ways to reproduce the look and sound of the real world reasonably accurately. There are even technologies for reproducing the feel of certain experiences, such as flight and car simulators. But the problem of reproducing smell is much more intractable. The 1960 SmelloVision experiment is a case in point. This involved some 30 odors that were released into the cinema at certain times during a movie.

Stop me if this sounds familiar: You have the TV on, the clicker in hand, the popcorn made, the lights dimmed, and you're ready to watch a movie. You fire up Netflix, and start scrolling. Suddenly you've blown half of your two-hour window just looking for something to watch, drowning in a sea of star ratings and Western Movies With Strong Female Protagonists. Hate to break it to you, but you've come down with a case of Netflix Paralysis. A new app called MightyTV (iOS-only for now, Android soon) aims to solve this problem using a unique concoction of Tinder-style swiping, machine learning, and a collaborative personalization mechanism that can not only find something for you to watch right now, but can account for the tastes of everyone on the couch and find something you'll all love.

Fast-forward to 2016 and Kongsberg Maritime, a specialist in underwater positioning technology, has rediscovered the prop. The company was scanning with MUNIN, one of its many autonomous underwater robots, when it recorded an image of the 10 meter long replica. MUNIN uses a variety of sonar and camera equipment to produce high-resolution datasets at a depth of up to 1,500 meters. "Nessie" came up in one of its scans and Adrian Shine, who leads The Loch Ness Project, was able to confirm that it's the prop from The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. "We can confidently say this is the model because of where it was found, the shape -- there is the neck and no humps -- and from the measurements," he told BBC News.

Instead, what captured viewers attention most was Alibaba Group's artificial intelligence program, which made its global debut on the program to predict the series finalists and winner. Named "Ai," the system got every one of its algorithm-induced guesses right. I Am Singer, broadcast by Hunan TV, has been one of China's top-rated shows since its debut in 2013. During the show's four-hour season finale on Friday, Alibaba's Ai analyzed various factors in real time, such as the popularity of the songs contestants performed, their pitch and energy on stage, lyrical content and audience feedback. Meanwhile, the show's in-house audience of 500, whose vote determined the real winner, deliberated separately.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display

For nearly 60 episodes, one question has persisted through What's Tech: what is happening in the ending of Steven Spielberg's 2001 sci-fi film A.I. Artificial Intelligence? To settle the question once and for all, I invited my friend and artificial intelligence expert, Sam Byford, to appear on the show. Sadly, as you will hear me learn, Sam Byford is an expert in actual artificial intelligence, not the film Artificial Intelligence. Truth is, he's never even seen the film. This is still one of my favorite episodes of What's Tech, as Byford shares what it was like to attend the recent match-up of human Go champion Lee Se-dol and artificial intelligence AlphaGo.

At the most recent SXSW, Hanson Robotics, based in Plano, TX, debuted its latest personal robot – Sophia. With lifelike skin that is made from patented silicon, Sophia can emulate more than 62 facial expressions. Cameras inside her "eyes," sophisticated computer algorithms, and a combination of voice recognition technology and other tools enable Sophia to "see" and "think." Sophia is just the latest example of major advances in the development of machines striving to attain human "characteristics," "intelligence," and "awareness". Arguably, the notion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Cognitive Computing has been around since Frankenstein was published in 1818.
