Milla Jovovich is reprising her role as Alice, the slayer of the undead hordes, for the last time in "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter." The science fiction big screen offering is going to be the sixth and final installment of the "Resident Evil" movie franchise that is based on the Capcom survival horror game of the same name. Aside from the Paul W.S. Anderson-directed film that is slated for a Dec. 23, 2016 release, here are five other upcoming movie adaptations of hit video games that you should watch out for: Looks like "Mortal Kombat" fans have not seen the last of their favorite characters on the big screen yet as it was previously confirmed that "Furious 7" director James Wan is going to helm the standalone reboot that should be hitting cinemas come 2017 -- exactly two decades since the 1997 follow-up "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation" to the 1995 movie was released. While Wan, who is also known for his work in the "Insidious" and "The Conjuring" movies, is going to direct the movie, David Callaham from "The Expendables" fame and Oren Uziel, who wrote the "Mortal Kombat: Rebirth" short film, are going to pen the script, as reported by CinemaBlend in 2015. No other official details about the New Line Cinema movie has been released as of late.

Sony (NYSE:SNE) launched its PS4 Slim this week with the PS4 Pro set to debut in November.

The PS4 is a terrific profit center for Sony but it is not the only ace in the pack for the company.

Technology is advancing at an incredibly rapid pace. For most of us, robots and artificial intelligence systems are welcomed with open arms – something that can often make our lives easier. But the concern that they could replace human jobs has long been an issue. According to a new report from market research company Forrester, bots and AIs will have eliminated 6 percent of all US jobs by 2021. Digital assistants such as Microsoft's Cortana, Amazon's Alexa, and Apple's Siri don't yet have the human-like intelligence seen in AIs from the movies, but they are getting smarter all the time.

Boomtrain is sponsoring FUSE: The Convergence of Technology & Media, which will be held in Philadelphia on September 12-14. The media industry has been buzzing about artificial intelligence for years. Yet practical uses for the technology are only just being realized by companies like The New York Times, the BBC, and Condé Nast. Although applications for AI in the media business are still in their infancy, it will not take long for the technology to affect every aspect of the business, says Nick Edwards, CEO & co-founder of Boomtrain -- creator of a marketing platform built on AI tech. Edwards argues that AI is the most important technology impacting the industry today and it will continue to shape it in the years to come.

Apple created mass hysteria when it unveiled a handset paired with wireless headphones. Although users feel it will only be a matter of time before they lose the AirPods, Apple CEO Tim Cook says he'never personally had one fall out since using them' and has used them on treadmills. In an exclusive interview with Good Morning America, the tech tycoon suggests it is the weight of the wires that pull the headphones out of people's ears, and by cutting the wires, the earbuds should now stay in place. Although users feel it will only be a matter of time before they lose the AirPods, Apple's CEO Tim Cook says he'has never personally had one fall out since using them'. The tech tycoon suggests it is the wires connected to the earbuds that pull them out of people's ears Apple CEO Tim Cook spoke with Robin Roberts on ABC News' 'Good Morning America' about the concerns consumers might have about Apple's new AirPods.

Sam Kronick has a bunch of rocks arrayed in front of him on a raised desk in his Oakland studio. He's an artist and his plan is to sketch the rocks, but not with pen and paper. He and his artistic partner Tara Shi are going to do a 3D scan of them so that an artificial intelligence program can map their contours, learn to recognize rocks and then start generating its own craggy depictions. The project is deceptively simple: trying to get artificial intelligence to make nature art. Kronick and Shi are using a neural net, a computer program loosely modeled on biological neural systems like the human brain.

Following its accidental reveal of a newer, cheaper version of its Alexa-powered Echo Dot speaker on Monday, Amazon this morning announced new numbers detailing the rapid growth of its Alexa "app store," which it calls the "Skills" section in its Alexa app. The company says the selection of these voice-activated apps has grown by 3x since June, and now includes over 3,000 skills. Skills are what Amazon calls the optional features consumers can add to their Alexa-powered devices, like the Amazon Echo speaker or its smaller counterparts, the Dot or Tap, for example, as well as third-party devices that have integrated with Amazon's voice computing platform. In addition, thanks to a recent snafu by the retailer's social media team, it appears Amazon will soon launch a new Echo Dot speaker at a lower price point. The company on Monday accidentally tweeted about a new, 49.99 "all-new" Echo Dot, then quickly deleted the tweet.

Reuters is the latest major news agency to embrace content automation. But the news organization has struck partnerships with Graphiq Inc. and Wibbitz Ltd., to automate the creation of simple graphics and video clips, respectively, to run alongside relevant, human-reported Reuters news content on the third party sites that pay for and run it. Graphiq Inc. based in Santa Barbara, Calif., has integrated its free-to-use visualizations platform with Reuters News Agency to make the simple graphs and visualizations it creates in thousands of Reuters articles wherever they run on 3rd party sites. According to Graphiq CEO Kevin O'Connor, Graphiq works with hundreds of publishers, including TechCrunch and now Reuters, to put dynamically generated infographics into articles. The company's systems ingest data from public and private sources to create instant infographics.

Machines may be smart, but they make pretty dull companions. Google knows this, and as it builds out its recently announced Google Assistant personal assistant technology--which, like Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa, will answer questions and follow commands like "turn on the lights"--the company is eager to make artificial intelligence more personable. Ryan Germick, who heads the Google Doodle team in Mountain View, is now working on adding a human touch to Google Assistant, along with Emma Coats, a freelance artist best known for her stint as a story artist at Pixar and the author of a viral list of 22 rules of storytelling. In a session at the Moogfest music and technology festival in Durham, North Carolina, this weekend, Germick and Coats talked about the process of making A.I. feel friendlier. Google Assistant is a new take on the artificially intelligent "personal assistant" concept that will be built into Google products like the forthcoming Google Home speaker.

AI can help to bridge the gap between brands and their audiences, connecting them in direct and practical ways. This fuels the question, however, about how AI can and should be used, and where its benefits can be applied most effectively. The news of the first film trailer created using AI brought into focus the rapid pace with which new applications are being surfaced. But it should be noted that what the AI actually did was to select scenes from which the trailer would be created, based on its analysis of hundreds of previous horror movie trailers. The task of assembling those scenes, editing them and adding music and effects to tell a coherent story (i.e. the actual creative task) fell to a person.
