The numbers are mind-boggling: 11.5 million documents in total, comprising 4.8 million emails, 2.1 million PDFs, 1.1 million images and 320,000 text files. To put it in context, the amount of data in the Panama Papers leak was 2,000 times the amount in the WikiLeaks State Department cables in 2010. Trying to sift through data like this manually would be a Sisyphean task, so technology was required. Enter the little-known Australian company Nuix. The software company has worked with the D.C.-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) for over four years, giving them free access to their software that can take huge troves of unstructured data and turn it into an indexed and searchable database.

SoftBank Group will shortly launch a service that will help clients thwart cyberattacks by using artificial intelligence.

SoftBank will handle sales, pitching the service to Japanese prospects. The joint venture will provide Japanese-language customer support.

Salesforce has acquired artificial intelligence startup MetaMind. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"With MetaMind and Salesforce coming together, we'll be able to offer customers real AI solutions with breakthrough capabilities that further automate and personalize customer support, marketing automation, and many other business processes," MetaMind cofounder and chief executive Richard Socher wrote in a blog post.

Here are the basics of what the Panama Papers leak is all about. Photo shows the building where the office of Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca is located in Panama City, Panama, April 03, 2016. SAN FRANCISCO -- The 11.5 million leaked documents from the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca are providing a treasure trove of data on a hidden world of offshore accounts and murky dealings. "It's becoming much easier than it used to be to store and move very large amounts of data. I would expect this to continue," said John King, a professor of information at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich.

A U.S. government-backed committee has reportedly recommended that the Federal Aviation Administration loosen restrictions on the use of commercial drones, a crucial first step to wider business applications for unmanned aerial vehicles. The FAA's Aviation Rulemaking Committee of industry leaders and agency officials late Friday recommended easing restrictions that prohibit businesses from flying unmanned aerial vehicles over populated areas in some cases. FAA spokesman Les Dorr says the agency received the report on Saturday and needs time to review the recommendations. The committee's report, obtained by the Associated Press, recommends the creation of four categories of drones. Devices weighing half a pound or less would have essentially no limits on flying over crowds if the manufacturer could ensure a 99 percent chance that it would not injure someone even if it fell on them.

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

ISIS has created training videos to teach millions of aspiring muslims who dream of becoming'heroic' mujahideens how they can turn cats into self-driving bomb machines and create missiles from shells to shoot down passenger planes – and all from basic materials that can be acquired and purchased anywhere. Put this into perspective: the EU has deliberately sent navy ships to import 1.3 million muslims from the coast of Libya and Turkey of which a massive majority support and endorse jihad according to polls, to now walk the streets all across Europe. In addition, the EU has rewarded Turkey for their willing participation in infiltrating jihad into Syria and Europe by promising to offer them 3bn euros and quicker EU-entry rather than penalizing Turkey. Obama has opened the door to over 100,000 of the same jihad aspiring muslims per year to walk American streets, hating Americans, aspiring for their death and destruction. Meanwhile both the Obama administration ( 46.6 billion for fiscal 2015) and the EU memberstates (over 3.3bn euros in 2010) have been selling military equipment and weapons to muslim countries which are then quickly funneled by these governments to their jihad'heroes' around the world fighting for Allah.

You wake up to the sound of an automated alarm from your smart house's artificial intelligence system. As you head towards the kitchen to grab a cup of Joe, coffee starts brewing on its own and the TV in the drawing room turns itself on to your favorite news channel. Once you're done with refreshments, your intelligent voice assistant briefs you on the day's many chores, general memoranda you needed to be reminded about at the start of day. You get out of your house and step into your self-driving smart car. Everything from your grandmother's bed to your infant's potty is automated, and you are ignorantly leading the life of a disabled meatsack.
