Apple reveals enhanced artificial intelligence in latest iOS update
Apple is introducing more artificial intelligence to the iPhone and iPad, with devices now able to understand conversations and recognise faces in photos. The technology giant's virtual assistant Siri has been given a major update that now means it can use machine learning to predict words you plan to use in text conversations as well as find faces in your photo albums. Apple chief executive Tim Cook opened the keynote at the WWDC conference in San Francisco by paying tribute to the victims of the Orlando shootings, saying Apple offered its "deepest sympathies to everyone whose lives were touched by the violence". Apple chief executive Tim Cook speaks at the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco. He then led a moment's silence before the event began.
AI-written film 'Sunspring' a surreal delight, upchucked eyeball included
Filmmaker Oscar Sharp pulled together a cast and crew for a day of filming. He had actors, including Thomas Middleditch from HBO's "Silicon Valley." He had a set, props and special effects. Most importantly, he had a script written by an artificial-intelligence neural network. And the finished product, "Sunspring," is exactly as weird as you'd expect.

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

A screenplay written by artificial intelligence has been made into a film
Three actors in glittery metallic costumes stand in an office, spouting gibberish at one another: the outcome of an experiment that couldn't be any more predictable. Earlier this week, UK filmmaker Oscar Sharp released Sunspring, an experimental film based on a screenplay developed by an artificial intelligence. The project saw Mr Sharp and technologist Ross Goodwin feeding an artificial long short-term memory neural network (LSTM) an array of science fiction film scripts. Mr Sharp and Mr Goodwin then programmed the LSTM to process the scripts, using cinematic writing conventions to produce a screenplay of its own. Mr Sharp then spent 48 hours developing the script into a film, before releasing it on the Ars Technica Videos YouTube page on June 9.
'Sunspring' movie: An intense and thought-provoking film written by artificial intelligence
"Sunspring," a movie that has been entirely written by algorithm, debuted on the website Ars Technica recently. The movie has been under the spotlight as the complete story of it has been written by artificial intelligence instead of normal human screenwriters. "Sunspring" is a short science fiction film about three people who are in a surrealistic future, seemingly a space station. Initially, the movie looks like a love triangle between three lead characters – H (portrayed by "Silicon Valeey's Thomas Middleditch), who is wearing a gleaming gold jacket, H2 (played by Elisabeth Gray) who is operating the computers, and C (Humphrey Ker) who declares that he has to "go to the skull" as he puts his face in a bunch of green lights. Though the movie gives a vibe of a typical sci-fi B-movie, it is unlike any of the other Hollywood science fiction movies as the entire script of the movie has been done by AI.
