Sudan's army has denied it carried out a deadly attack on a major hospital on Friday night in a city in the west of the country held by its rivals, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said 64 people - including 13 children, two nurses and a doctor - had died in the strike on el-Daein Teaching Hospital and 89 others had been wounded. Enough blood has been spilled, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus posted on X, urging the warring parties to end the conflict, which started nearly three years ago. The RSF said an army drone had hit the hospital in el-Daein, the capital of East Darfur state, on the day Muslims were marking the festival of Eid. Sudan was plunged into a civil war in April 2023 when a vicious struggle for power broke out between the military and the RSF, who had once been allies after coming to power in a coup in 2021.

At least 14 people have been killed in overnight attacks on Ukraine's eastern region. Ukraine's emergency service said on Saturday that Russian forces hit the town of Dobropillia in the eastern Donetsk region on Friday night, killing 11 people and wounding 30. Emergency services added that eight five-storey apartment buildings, an administrative building, and 30 cars were damaged. At least three people were killed and seven injured after a Russian drone attack on a civilian building in Bogodukhiv, Kharkiv, in eastern Ukraine, the governor of Kharkiv, Oleh Synehubov, wrote on Telegram. In Odesa, a drone attack resulted in several fires, which affected a hangar with agricultural equipment, a service station building, an auto parts store, solar panels held in an open area and a four-storey industrial building.

Robotic process automation (RPA) enables marketing teams to achieve more with fewer resources by doing the heavy lifting with info and repetitive jobs. Research completed by Uipath finds that 68 percent of international employees think automation makes them more effective, even though a separate research by Forrester shows that 57% of employees state RPA reduces manual errors. Automation technology is continually improving, but it is already making a massive impact on the way advertising teams work together with information. In this guide, we examine several ways we utilize robotic procedure automation to increase marketing efficiency and reach bigger things to our clientele. Based on Uipath, "robotic procedure automation (RPA) is a software engineering which makes it effortless to construct, deploy and manage software robots that emulate individual activities interacting with electronic systems and applications."

The shopping lists we used to scribble on the back of an envelope are increasingly already known by the supermarkets we frequent. Firstly via the loyalty cards we scan at checkouts, and more and more so from our online baskets, our shopping habits are no longer a secret. But now more retailers are using AI (artificial intelligence) - software systems that can learn for themselves - to try to automatically predict and encourage our very specific preferences and purchases like never before. Retail consultant Daniel Burke, of Blick Rothenberg, calls this "the holy grail... to build up a profile of customers and suggest a product before they realise it is what they wanted". So the next time you dash into your local shop to buy certain snacks and a particular wine on a Friday night, perhaps you can blame AI, and a computer that has learned all about you, for the decision.

In today's digital dating world, communicating clearly can sometimes get lost in translation. That's why new relationship terms have taken on a life of their own. Here are 5 new dating terms you should know. It's just like the old saying goes – the way to a Tinder date's heart may be through their stomach. An ambitious young man attempted to woo a woman he met through a dating app by showing off his pasta-making skills on Twitter, in a saga that has since gone viral online, as dozens of commenters root for sparks to fly.

LONDON - London's Gatwick Airport was operating without problems Sunday, but the fugitive drone operators who brought incoming and outgoing flights to a standstill over multiple days remained at large -- and a potential threat -- after police cleared two local residents who were arrested as suspects. Sussex Police were hopeful they had halted the disruptive and costly drone incursions during one of the heaviest travel periods of the year with Friday's arrests of a couple who live near the airport. But they were released Sunday, and police said they were no longer suspects. Tens of thousands of passengers suffered through long flight delays or were stranded by cancellations after two drones were reported seen above the airfield at Gatwick on Wednesday night, prompting an immediate suspension of all air traffic. Sussex Chief Detective Jason Tingley said Sunday he could not rule out new drone activity at Gatwick or other U.K. airports.

LONDON - British police say two people were arrested early Saturday morning for suspected "criminal use of drones'" in the Gatwick Airport case that has created nightmarish travel delays for tens of thousands of holiday passengers. Sussex police did not release the age or gender of the two suspects arrested late Friday night and did not say where the arrests were made. The two have not been charged. Police Superintendent James Collis asked the public in the Gatwick area to remain vigilant. "Our investigations are still ongoing, and our activities at the airport continue to build resilience to detect and mitigate further incursions from drones by deploying a range of tactics," he said.

This is a guest post made with the Neura team who will also speak at the upcoming Hacking UI Master Class. The flag of personal artificial intelligence (AI) has already been firmly staked in the world of the Internet. Google, Facebook, and other Internet companies employ this same method, and it results in rich experiences for end-users and big revenues for the ones creating the experience. Internet companies like Google offer end-users finely tailored experiences by drawing upon users' behavioral profiles. Such profiles are derived from people's search engine habits.

As AI-powered automated personal assistants have increasingly found their way into our lives, their tremendous power at certain tasks has often been undermined by their inability to fuse the data available to them into a comprehensive view of our lives and, perhaps most importantly, their inability to actively anticipate our needs rather than merely passively respond to queries posted to them. How might adding proactive anticipatory reasoning and the ability to look across data allow our future AI assistants to be far more useful in our day-to-day lives? As I was taking a cab to the airport this past Friday, I noticed everywhere around me preparations for the Marine Corp Marathon, which I had completely forgotten was this weekend and which meant that when I returned early Sunday morning I was going to have difficulty getting home given all of the road closures in my neighborhood. Yet, despite having access to my calendar, which clearly noted my return flight arrival on Sunday, and being able to tell me that there was a giant marathon running directly through my neighborhood on Sunday with road closures all around my home, my AI assistant was unable to connect the two and anticipate that I might have trouble getting home via my usual route on Sunday. Heading to a meeting a week ago, my assistant could tell me there was a huge traffic delay along the way when I explicitly asked for a traffic update, but was unable on its own to connect that to my next calendar appointment and proactively suggest 30 minutes earlier that I leave half an hour early to avoid being late.

"If you're not concerned about AI safety, you should be. Vastly more risk than North Korea," Musk tweeted after his $1 billion startup, OpenAI, made a surprise appearance at a $24 million video game tournament Friday night, beating the world's best players in the video game, "Dota 2." Musk claimed OpenAI's bot was the first to beat the world's best players in competitive eSports, but quickly warned that increasingly powerful artificial intelligence like OpenAI's bot -- which learned by playing a "thousand lifetimes" of matches against itself -- would eventually need to be reined in for our own safety. "Nobody likes being regulated, but everything (cars, planes, food, drugs, etc) that's a danger to the public is regulated. AI should be too," Musk said in another tweet on Friday night. Musk has previously expressed a healthy mistrust of artificial intelligence.
