Experts may reassure us that artificial intelligence won't take over the world anytime soon – but they just might invade the multiplex. At least that's the plot developing at IBM, where the Watson artificial-intelligence team programmed a computer to come up with a scary trailer for "Morgan," a thriller about a genetically modified, AI-enhanced super-human. GeekWire's crack team of movie critics gave "Morgan" an average grade of C – but I have to say Watson's trailer gave me the creeps. Maybe it's the way short cuts are spliced together to create a sense of ominousness without revealing what the heck is going on. Or maybe it's just knowing that a faceless piece of software helped create it.

Not many people can answer that question.

Recently I heard the strains of Bach's Sonata No 3 in G Minor (BWV 1029) Allegro, and as I pondered on the richness, harmony and texture of the sounds. I recalled I had heard this before listening to a live broadcast of the same piece of music on the BBC. It was Alissa Firsova's fantastic arrangement of the final movement of Bach's Viola da Gamba sonata in G minor performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Andrew Litton on 14th August 2010 at the Royal Albert Hall. I pulled out my phone and loaded Shazam I wanted to find out who had performed this particular piece. Shazam did its thing and in seconds I had the details of Glenn Gould Remastered Columbia Album, of course it had to be.

PARIS – The Champs-Elysee was the setting of a mini-air show on Sunday as amateur drone enthusiasts flew their high-tech toys over the famed Paris avenue in the city's first festival celebrating the gadgets. Concentrating intently, punters guided their remote-controlled flying machines through a brightly colored obstacle course accompanied by commentary worthy of a Formula One race. The afternoon festival included a race and demonstrations of the remote-controlled devices that are increasingly used as toys as well as for surveillance, aerial photography and -- controversially-- in the secretive U.S. counterterror campaign. "It's really magical to be at a site like the Champs-Elysees, one of the most famous places in the world," said Dunkan Bossian, 19, one of eight pilots who competed in the race. A German entrant, 27-year-old Julia Muller, added: "Events like this are important to show people that drones are not only dangerous things but you can have fun with them as well."

IBM's Watson AI (artificial intelligence) has added yet another skill to its collection. This time it has created the first-ever sci-fi AI-made movie trailer for "Morgan," that was released in theatres on September 2 by 20th Century Fox. Morgan, staring Kate Mara and Paul Giamatti, is a sci-fi thriller about scientists who have developed a synthetic humanoid whose potential has grown dangerously beyond their control. To prepare the machine for the task at hand, the IBM Research system analysed hundreds of horror/thriller movie trailers. In order to get an idea of the dynamics of a trailer, the computer then performed a series of visual, sound and composition studies.

For a scary movie, an important thing is how a person digests it. "Our team was faced with the challenge of not only teaching a system to understand, "what is scary", but then to create a trailer that would be considered "frightening and suspenseful" by a majority of viewers," writes Michael Zimmerman for IBM. Over 100 horror movie trailers were fed to the IBM Watson in order to give IBM Watson the "feel" of a horror movie. Though in reality, it is just some binary numbers for the AI bot. The trailer videos were segmented into small moments on which IBM Watson performed an analysis of audio, video, and how each scene was composed.

IBM's Watson AI makes movie trailer for an upcoming film with only a little help from humans

Say what you will, but IBM Watson is one resourceful supercomputer. We've previously seen the AI describe the contents of photos, predict the most popular toys during Christmas season and gauge your emotional state – all of that with an exceptional accuracy. Now IBM Watson has added yet another skill to its arsenal as it just learned how to make movie trailers. Earlier this week, 20th Century Fox trusted the supercomputer with the task to create the trailer for its upcoming sci-fi drama Morgan. Our new event for New York is focused on quality, not quantity.

Turing Robotic Industries' new device is so advanced it contains processors that don't exist yet, a 60 Megapixel camera, 6K, and more than 1 TB in storage. No wonder people think it's a practical joke Well, after two readings of Turning Robotic Industries' announcement, we could not find any disclaimers in small print or an emoji. Ostensibly, it looks like this is an official announcement by the company, which is unveiling its ultra-ultra-advanced smartphone. The company says it will have artificial intelligence and (AI) security capabilities – and absolutely unbelievable technical specifications. The new device, to be called the Turing Phone Cadenza, will be the heir of the company's current smartphone, and according to the company, will include impressive specifications.
