Circle with Disney is evolving from digital nanny to digital assistant. Today's app update brings a new Connections feature to your favorite (and your kid's least favorite) online time warden and content minder. Circle has partnered with several top developers to expand the reach of the device beyond its home network parental control roots. You'll see six Connections when you download today's app update. Assistant: Powered by Amazon's Alexa, you'll soon be able to use any Alexa-powered device to ask about your kid's screen-time usage, as well as check time limits and bedtimes (and, no, your kids won't be able to ask Alexa to give them more time).

On March 29, Samsung's going to finally -- officially -- announce its next flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S8, and by all reports it will be glorious. The Galaxy S8 will be one of the shiniest, prettiest and most feature-packed phones ever created. How do we know this? The same way we know about Apple's new iPhones months before the company announces them: internet leaks. A much as leaks spoil the element of surprise for everyone, they also give us exactly what we crave: details to lust over.

If you don't have a Pixel, there's now one less reason to look at it with envy. The Google Assistant is coming to the smartphone that's in your hand. Google has released it from the safe confines of the Pixel and is rolling it out to any device that runs Marshmallow (6.0) or Nougat (7.0). Yes, you could always get the Google Assistant in Allo, but it was very limited in what was possible, and nobody wants to run a specific chat app for it. Now it's always ready to answer questions, find you photos, and connect more deeply to your Google data. If it's come to your phone, prepare for a major enhancement in how you use Android.

Invitations to join an exclusive club have been sent out to a chosen few of the most attractive and successful Tinder users. Tinder Select is a secret members-only version of the app designed for the most famous, and most beautiful, people using the dating service. Tinder appears to choose the individual users it wants join the elite group, which has been operating under the radar for at least the past six months. Tinder CEO Sean Rad revealed in early 2016 that the dating app has a hidden ranking system, which is used to generate better matches. The system provides insight on the general desirability of certain types of profiles.

Circle with Disney, a device that gives you control over your kids' internet activities by connecting to your WiFi network, now has a "smart family" platform. It's called Circle Connection, and it gives you a way to connect the device's accompanying application with various apps you can use to reward your kids. Some of those apps, for instance, give your kids more time to use their gadgets, depending on the chores they finish or the activity their Misfit logged for the day. It also connects the device with Amazon's Alexa, so you can ask the voice assistant about your kids' screen time usage. At the same time, your kids can ask Alexa how much time they have left to use their gadgets.

Technology is changing the way we live. Innovative products like smartwatches, virtual assistants like Siri and Cortana, and self-driving cars are raising the bar on expectations. So why shouldn't that change be reflected in the way we work? Business Insider spoke to Dave Wright, the chief strategy officer at cloud computing business ServiceNow about what they're doing to improve processes and productivity and the workplace, as well as trends we're likely to see in the future. But first if you're not sure what ServiceNow does, here's how Wright explains it.

People who turn to WebMD in their quest for health information can now do so without lifting a finger – they can use their voice, through a new integration with Amazon Alexa. As of today, people who use the voice-assistant service can launch the WebMD skill on any Alexa-enabled device (such as the Echo, Echo Dot and Amazon Fire TV) and ask a question about a range of health-related topics including conditions, medication, tests and treatments. Alexa will respond with WebMD-sourced answers in easy-to-understand language. "Every month, nearly one-third of the total online U.S. population turns to WebMD's websites and apps in search of answers to their health-related questions, but now they have another option – and it's as simple as asking Alexa," WebMD Vice President Ben Greenberg, whose product team developed the new voice capabilities, said in a statement. "There are a number of reasons that voice-enabled interfaces are growing in popularity – they are generally hands-free, people can talk faster than they type, and when done right, they make it easier for consumers to quickly and easily get to the information they need."

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, may bring to mind Ex Machina, The Matrix and the Terminator movies. But in reality, AI and robotics are reshaping our lives, prompting ethical, legal and societal debates. Today AI is seen all around us, from Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa and self-driving cars powered by Google, Lyft and Ford. Here are 7 powerful AI trends we can expect in 2017. Apple Home on iPhone and Google Home, an extension of Amazon Echo, automated home devices resulting in a connected ecosystem.

WASHINGTON, DC (March 8, 2017)--Interventional radiologists at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) are using technology found in self-driving cars to power a machine learning application that helps guide patients' interventional radiology care, according to research presented today at the Society of Interventional Radiology's 2017 Annual Scientific Meeting. The researchers used cutting-edge artificial intelligence to create a "chatbot" interventional radiologist that can automatically communicate with referring clinicians and quickly provide evidence-based answers to frequently asked questions. This allows the referring physician to provide real-time information to the patient about the next phase of treatment, or basic information about an interventional radiology treatment. "We theorized that artificial intelligence could be used in a low-cost, automated way in interventional radiology as a way to improve patient care," said Edward W. Lee, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of radiology at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine and one of the authors of the study. "Because artificial intelligence has already begun transforming many industries, it has great potential to also transform health care."

Think you know everything about Tinder? The company is testing a secret version of its app called Tinder Select, a invitation-only service reserved for some of the app's more influential users: the really rich, really famous, really successful and, yes, the really hot. Rather than separate app, the service, which was first reported by TechCrunch, is a section of the existing Tinder app that's activated when a user is invited to join. Sort of like an exclusive club within Tinder, users who are part of Select are matched with each other, though they continue to see matches from "normal" Tinder users as well, according to someone who has seen Select. It's not clear what exactly qualifies someone to be part of Select, but it seems Tinder has curated the group pretty closely.
