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.

Today SogetiLabs launches its first report on a new wave of automation: Machine Intelligence. As part of a series of four, SogetiLabs Research Institute VINT, explores this Next Big Thing in IT. The idea that an artificial brain could compete with that of humans lives for many years. In 2016, it's exactly sixty years ago computer scientist John McCarthy suggested to work on Artificial Intelligence (AI) with ten men for two summer months on the campus of Dartmouth College. And now there's this excitement in the market: after decades of working on concepts, the tools finally are ready to realize that vision.

Here's a quick one for review in case you guys weren't aware of the many brilliant options the market has provided to help your clients sell stuff. This depressing message comes to us via a PR agency that obviously can't tell the difference between "advertising" and "ad tech" but works with clients offering a "sharing economy" solution to those companies' most pressing needs. Here's the pitch in full except for the "do you want to schedule an interview?" Take Uber and Airbnb for example, which own no cars or real estate. The shared economy is growing.

Computers generated a great deal of excitement in the 1950s when they began to beat humans at checkers and to prove math theorems. In the 1960s the hope grew that scientists might soon be able to replicate the human brain in hardware and software and that "artificial intelligence" would soon match human performance on any task. In 1967 Marvin Minsky of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who died earlier this year, proclaimed that the challenge of AI would be solved within a generation.

An app being made by DeepMind, the Google-owned AI company, working in collaboration with the NHS Royal Free Trust in London and being used to help identify hospital patients who might be at risk of acute kidney disease (AKI) is not currently in use, TechCrunch has learned. The collaboration between the tech giant and a portion of the UK's publicly funded health service has drawn criticism for the breadth of patient data being used to power an app which targets a single medical condition. DeepMind and the Royal Free have also been criticized for not approaching the UK's medicines and healthcare devices regulator, the MHRA, prior to using the Streams app in hospitals. The MHRA is responsible for standards of safety, quality and efficacy for healthcare products, which can include software apps. It has emerged that DeepMind and the Royal Free Trust are now in discussions with the MHRA over whether the Streams app needs to be registered as a medical device.

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

Every year, Google shows off its latest efforts at Google I/O. The annual developer's conference is the place where the public first hears about the next version of Android, new features of Google's platform and services, new VR stuff, new artificial intelligence products… actually, you can expect just about anything, given the company's penchant for the weird and the surprising. Years past, I/O has been held in San Francisco's Moscone Center, a typical indoor conference space--the same room where Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone. This year, Google has moved its big show to Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California. Situated about 40 minutes south of San Francisco (and right in Google's own backyard), Shoreline is a 19,000-ish capacity live music venue.
