By learning everything there is to know about you and your online habits, social network ETER9 promises a kind of digital immortality wherein an artificially intelligent agent continues to post on your behalf long after you're dead. The future is creepier than we ever imagined. ETER9, a startup launched by Portuguese developer Henrique Jorge, is still in the beta phase, but 5,000 people have already signed up for the service. It currently features a Facebook-like newsfeed, and a "cortex" that works much like a Facebook wall. But that's where the similarities end.

Today OpenAI, a non-profit artificial intelligence research company, launched OpenAI Gym, a toolkit for developing and comparing reinforcement learning algorithms. It supports teaching agents everything from walking to playing games like Pong or Go. OpenAI researcher John Schulman shared some details about his organization, and how OpenAI Gym will make it easier for AI researchers to design, iterate and improve their next generation applications. John studied physics at Caltech, and went to UC Berkeley for graduate school. There, after a brief stint in neuroscience, he studied machine learning and robotics under Pieter Abbeel, eventually honing in on reinforcement learning as his primary topic of interest.

Machine learning and the Internet of Things (IoT) have the power to create an increasingly autonomous grid that can eventually handle billions of endpoints on utility networks. But is the industry truly maximizing the benefits of either technology? Find out how utilities are using IoT and machine learning today, what they're planning for the future, recommendations on improving utilities' adoption of these technologies on a larger scale and more.

About a month into Japan's professional baseball season, the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, the 2014 and 2015 national champions, are doing no worse. Masayoshi Son, chairman and CEO of the SoftBank Group, celebrates with fans after the Hawks advanced to last year's national championship series.

Masayoshi Son, chairman and CEO of the SoftBank Group, wants to make the Hawks the best baseball team in the world.

About a month into Japan's professional baseball season, the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, the 2014 and 2015 national champions, are doing no worse. Many say the team's strong lineup is underpinned by the cash-rich SoftBank Group, a big telecom and technology group. The reality is quite the reverse. Unlike their rivals, the Hawks are a stand-alone club, though one with the financial leeway to allocate profits to areas where the front office sees fit, such as player development and information technology. With the help of its tech-savvy parent, the club may be about to rewrite "Moneyball," the 2003 bestseller about how a Major League Baseball team in the U.S. used statistical analysis to beat high-spending opponents.

Movidius, machine intelligence partner to DJI, FLIR, Google and others, is introducing the first ever powerful deep learning processing accelerator that fits into a tiny USB Stick. It connects to existing systems and increases the performance of neural networking tasks by 20-30X. It performs at over 150GFLOPS while consuming under 1.2W. Called the Fathom Neural Compute Stick, It's basically the world's first supercomputer on a USB device. Developers, researchers, hobbyists (think raspberry pie) and anyone developing deep learning applications will benefit from Fathom.

Rajat Monga, TensorFlow Technical Lead & Manager, Google TensorFlow is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. The flexible architecture allows you to deploy computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, server, or mobile device with a single API. TensorFlow was developed by researchers and engineers working on the Google Brain Team for the purposes of conducting machine learning and deep neural networks research. He is particularly interested in enabling smarter devices. Prior to Google, as the Chief Architect and Director of Engineering at Attributor, Rajat hired the founding engineering team, and led the labs and operations to design and build Attributor's core matching engine.

Apple bought Emotient, an artificial intelligence startup that reads people's emotions by analyzing facial expressions, the Wall Street Journal reported. The report did not specify the financial terms of the deal. The tech giant's plans for Emotient were not immediately clear, the Journal reported, confirming the news with an Apple spokeswoman. Emotient's software reads the expressions of individuals and crowds to gain insights that can be used by advertisers to assess viewer reaction or a medical practitioner to better understand signs of pain in patients. San Diego-based Emotient had previously raised 8 million from investors including Intel Capital, the Journal said.
