Video game Cyberpunk 2077 to get live-action movie adaptation
A live-action movie version of smash hit video game Cyberpunk 2077 is being developed by Paramount Pictures. The Hollywood studio is working with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, known for his work on the Transformers films, and CD Projekt Red (CDPR), the developer of the sci-fi role-playing game. CDPR's joint-chief executive Michał Nowakowski said in a statement, external the company was excited about Paramount as a future partner who shares our creative ambitions for the Cyberpunk franchise.

Even 'Law & Order' Is Terrified of AI
Longtime fans of the NBC procedural know that storylines often center around hot-button issues in the news cycle, often to absurdist effect (see: the episode brave enough to ask: "What if Paula Deen shot Trayvon Martin?"). It was inevitable, then, that the franchise would dip a toe into the wacky world of artificial intelligence . With its mercenary culture, power-hungry CEOs, and massive ethical and philosophical implications, the rapidly evolving AI industry is ideal fodder for the series. But while this week's season opener is entertaining, the show's foray into the AI space doesn't say anything new or interesting about the technology. Instead it largely rehashes the dangers the public is already acutely aware of, until the very end when the stakes become startlingly clear.
SoftBank seeks 100 billion from Gulf states for AI, FT says
SoftBank Group Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son speaks during an event in Tokyo in July. SoftBank Group seeks to raise as much as $100 billion from Gulf investors to help it amp up its bets on artificial intelligence (AI), the Financial Times (FT) reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Founder Masayoshi Son has held early talks with potential investors including those in the United Arab Emirates, the newspaper said. The proposed fund would buy companies and use AI and machines, including from SoftBank's robotics arm Roze, to improve operations, the FT said. Fundraising of that scale would fuel more spending by the tech investment firm, which has invested almost $65 billion in OpenAI ahead of the AI lab's public debut.
