The world's first Artificially Intelligent physicist is here, and it has already replicated a Nobel Prize-winning experiment -- one that involved creating an ultracold state of matter called Bose-Einstein condensate. This network was named by EContent Magazine to its "Trendsetting Products of 2014" list.

Google brings Artificial Intelligence study to a whole new level with Parsey McParseface. It is software that aids computers comprehend human speech and text. This parser software, called SyntaxNet, tears down sentences into components to understand better. On Thursday, SyntaxNet became free software so anyone can access and use it for free and modify it however they want. This is massive milestone to AI developers trying to obtain computers to develop natural language.

In a bid to develop its artificial intelligence ("AI") capabilities, Sony Corporation (SNE - Analyst Report) announced an investment in a U.S. technology start-up, Cogitai. The financial details of the deal were kept under wraps. The investment comes at a time when technology stalwarts such as Facebook, Inc. (FB - Analyst Report), Apple Inc. (AAPL - Analyst Report) and Google are spending aggressively on AI initiatives. California-based Cogitai was founded a year ago by three researchers, and works with technology that enables machines to learn constantly and autonomously from interaction with the real world. The companies believe that the next step in AI field is the development of autonomous cognitive development systems that can continually learn from experience and react appropriately in a wide range of task domains.

Silicon Valley is going crazy over bots. In particular, chat bots, software designed to mimic conversations with real humans. According to a report from The Information, Google may launch a new chat bot initiative at Google I/O today. Google is reportedly developing tools for developers to create their own chat bots that live inside large messaging platforms like Facebook's Messenger or Google's own Hangouts. Rather than just create its own bots, Google wants to create a platform that other parties can use to build bots for their own needs.

"[It's a] data token that boils you down to a data object," says Pete Kazanjy, founder of TalentBin, a service that uses social media to find job recruits (now part of Monster). That's especially true for hard numbers, said Google's SVP of "people operations" Laszlo Bock in a 2013 New York Times interview. "One of the things we've seen from all our data crunching is that GPAs are worthless as a criteria for hiring, and test scores are worthless," said Bock. A growing wave of hiring tech firms are ingesting far more information about candidates--surveys, work samples, social media posts, word choice, even facial expressions. Adding artificial intelligence (AI), they promise to assess work skills as well as personality traits like empathy, grit, and prejudice to provide a richer understanding of who the applicant is and whether they will fit.

It's been a big 12 months for Google. On Wednesday, the tech giant kicks off its I/O developers conference with a keynote address expected to cover plans for its Android mobile operating system, and possibly other ventures including Android Auto. You can follow live updates right here starting at 1 p.m. ET. It's the first under parent company Alphabet, formed last year. This is also the first I/O as CEO for Sundar Pichai, who claimed the top role at Google when Alphabet was announced.

A joint venture between a U.S. producer and a Chinese entertainment investor, announced Tuesday, is hoping to make a live-action film based on the classic video game, Tetris. To be exact, Threshold Global Studios, a partnership between California studio Threshold Entertainment Group -- owned by producer Larry Kasanoff -- and China's Seven Star Works -- owned by investor Bruno Wu -- plans to make a science fiction trilogy based on the popular 1980s game. A statement released by the joint venture said the film adaptation of Tetris will be the company's first project and will be produced at a budget of about 80 million. The film will be shot in China and feature an ensemble cast, including Chinese actors. The financing for the film, as well as a story, are already in place, according to the statement.

Google is holding its biggest event of the year, showing off everything that it's going to release through 2016. The general public and developers will get their first glimpse at the products and technology that's going to rule our lives – via our phone, home, car, computer and everything else. Some of what will be announced has already leaked, and others have been spoiled by Google themselves in advance of the event. Those include rumours about a new device for the home and new technology for your phone, as well as Google's update to Android Pay that now allows it to be used in the UK. But the main event is still set to be packed with surprises, including the first details of Google's own virtual reality headset and new phone technology.

Facebook's Moments app uses facial recognition technology to group photos based on the friends who are in them. Amid privacy concerns in Europe and Canada, the versions launched in those regions excluded the facial recognition feature.

When someone tags you in a photo on Facebook, it's often a nice reminder of a shared memory.

If you ask 10 experts for a definition of deep learning, you will probably get 10 correct answers. Even though businesses of all sizes are already using deep learning to transform real-time data analysis, it can still be hard to explain and understand. Even if you haven't recognized it, you've benefited from deep learning. Deep learning is based on the human brain's decision-making process. By building multiple layers of abstraction, deep learning technology can solve complex semantic problems.
