Meet Cameron, the adorable four-year-old who has created 9... The 3D avatar faces are complete with emotions that can be seen in their eyes mouth and the movement of their face. They can appear sad, happy (like Rihanna's avatar), interested or even angry - however, there is only a small set of emotions available at the moment. Users just have to upload a font facing image, such as this image of Elon Musk (left) of themselves or someone else to the Loom.ai

Tech's Biggest Showdown Is Unfolding In Your Living Room

Huffington Post - Tech news and opinion

Microsoft is joining Google and Amazon in the race for your home. This week, at an event in China, the venerable tech giant trumpeted the arrival of Project Evo, a sweeping plan to build hardware devices that work a lot like Google Home or the Amazon Echo. But this race is much bigger than some gadgets that sit on your coffee table. The prize is more than just the best home digital assistant. The biggest spoils go to the company that rides its assistant to artificial brains that are far smarter -- and creates a market for using these brains to do just about anything. Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are all racing to build systems that recognize and truly understand natural language -- how you and I talk.

Why we are still light years away from full artificial intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Clara Lu is the marketing manager at ViSenze, an artificial intelligence company that makes search by images possible without keywords. With so many articles proliferating the media space on how humans are at the cusp of full AI (artificial intelligence), it's no wonder that we believe that the future -- which is full of robots and drones and self-driven vehicles, as well as diminishing human control over these machines -- is right on our doorstep. But are we really approaching the singularity as fast as we think we are? It's not hard to have that impression with the likes of Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, leading university departments and research centers around the world and more being highly concerned with the potential risks brought about by AI and taking action now to avoid a doomsday scenario in the near future. They predict that by the year 2030 machines will develop consciousness through the application of human intelligence. In fact, Dr. Hawking told the BBC, "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race."
