Customers should approach online reviews of health products with caution, say University of Aberdeen researchers. An analysis of clinical trial data and user-generated online reviews has shown that customers are prone to exaggerating the effects of weight loss and cholesterol treatments, especially when they have positive results. The researchers examined more than 1,600 Amazon.com The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric ...

A new exhibition at Science Gallery Dublin is exploring what an automated world might look like. There's a lot of discussion around the future of work, particularly when it comes to AI and robotics becoming more integrated into the workplace. Many experts are confident that advances in AI will, contrary to popular belief, actually create more jobs than it will get rid of. Those experts have also quelled our fears about certain elements of human behaviour being usurped by intelligent, human-like bots. Sure, they can analyse data at the drop of a hat and a lot of monotonous administration can be automated, but robots don't have the level of creativity or emotional intelligence that humans have, right?

The new year has arrived and it's going to be one big year for wearable tech. Evey year I look into my connected crystal ball and peek into the future to predict what might happen in the world of wearables. Here is how I think 2017 will shake down for the wearable world. The biggest buzzword of 2017 is AI, and it's set to be the saving grace of IoT and wearables. Deep learning is a massive missing piece when it comes to our connected world -- wearable tech included -- as cognitive computing and machine learning will make use of big data and connect the dots for users.

There has been trepidation among marketers when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI). The main concern seems to be, "is it coming for my job?" The reality is AI, and particularly the subset of machine learning, are tools that can help marketers do their jobs more effectively -- not replace them altogether. A good starting place for understanding how this works is defining what exactly AI and machine learning mean. Misuse of these terms to date has led to plenty of confusion on what AI entails and what it's capable of.

If you make a purchase by clicking one of our links, we may earn a small share of the revenue. Our picks and opinions are independent from any business incentives. Whether you're shopping for Valentine's day or some other occasion, shopping for guys is hard. While every guy thinks they're easy to shop for, if we're being honest that isn't remotely true. Personally, I usually only think about what I want right before I'm about to buy it.

Arrival Amy Adams stars in this elegant, involving science-fiction drama that is simultaneously old and new, revisiting many alien-invasion conventions but with unexpected intelligence, visual style and heart. The Eagle Huntress A portrait of a 13-year-old Kazakh girl from Mongolia who defies eons of tradition by learning to hunt with fierce golden eagles is a documentary so satisfying it makes you feel good about feeling good. Elle Paul Verhoeven's brilliantly booby-trapped thriller starring Isabelle Huppert is a gripping whodunit, a tour de force of psychological suspense and a wickedly droll comedy of manners. The Founder Michael Keaton gives a performance of ratty, reptilian brilliance as Ray Kroc, the American salesman who turned a California burger stand into the global fast-food behemoth that is McDonald's, in John Lee Hancock's shrewd and satisfyingly fat-free biopic. I Am Not Your Negro As directed by the gifted Raoul Peck, this documentary on James Baldwin uses the entire spectrum of movie effects, not only spoken language but also sound, music, editing and all manner of visuals, to create a cinematic essay that is powerful and painfully relevant.

The good: Better complications, Includes Google Assistant, Can run standalone apps, Improved fitness tracking, Refined interface that's easier to use, Works on Android and iOS The bad: Mostly playing catch up to Apple and fitness trackers, Smart reply suggestions don't always work well Who should buy: Android phone owners interested in smartwatches will be pleased with the improvements coming in 2.0, but the software won't do much to convince smartwatch skeptics When Android Wear first debuted in 2014, smartwatches were still largely unfamiliar territory, and Google was just figuring out how to adapt Android to wearable devices. More than two years later, Google's refined take on those efforts are set to debut. LG's Watch Style and Watch Sport, out Feb. 10, will be the first smartwatches to ship with Android Wear 2.0, the massive software update Google unveiled last spring. The refresh gives Google-powered smartphones more ammunition to compete with rival devices, especially the market-leading Apple Watch. Among Android Wear 2.0's biggest improvements is how much easier it is to navigate. It's simpler to launch apps, manage notifications, and customize watch faces.

The abundance of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and connected technologies being introduced daily are pushing the limits of innovation and raising expectations with every passing day. Thanks to these developments, particularly in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), we have already seen some successes in autonomous cars, smart cities and manufacturing that we used to believe could only happen in our Jetsons fantasies. These innovations are also impacting the healthcare industry. While nurses and physicians will never be replaced by "Rosie" in the patient exam room, machine learning and AI are poised to transform the healthcare industry in ways that positively impact physicians and their patients. It's been well-established that physicians today spend too much time on administrative tasks, particularly documentation, even with the advent of electronic health records (EHRs).

I found myself trying to explain my job to my mom last night. My amazing mom is a baby boomer, and she has never understood what I do. Marketing is a foreign concept to her, let alone artificial intelligence (AI) or how it applies to digital marketing. She is an active Facebook user, but she doesn't understand why certain friends never show up in her news feed. She is great at engaging with friends on Facebook, but most of "her" updates are actually published by my dad (who refuses to create his own "facepalm" profile).

Ordering pizza used to be such an arduous chore. Think about it: You had to pick up a phone, punch in the pizzeria's number, wait for the call to dial through, and then talk to a human being to place your order. Worse, sometimes you'd have to leave your house (maybe even in the snow or rain) and pick up the pizza by yourself. SEE ALSO: 10 things you should do now that you've welcomed Alexa into your life In 2017, getting pizza delivered to your door requires far less human interaction. The only human you need to deal with is the person making the delivery, and even then, you can just quietly shove a tip in their hand, and never make eye contact.
