Lithuania's Foreign Minister, Gabrielius Landsbergis, talked with Fox News Digital about Russia, China and the'global rules-based order' on the 20th anniversary of his country joining NATO. Lithuania commemorated its entry into NATO this last week and its long-standing partnership with the U.S. as leaders look ahead to the increasingly complex security landscape developing around the world. President George W. Bush visited the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius 20 years ago to welcome the country into the still-growing NATO alliance, applauding the character of member states to "stand in the face of evil, to have the courage to always face danger." "President [George W.] Bush made the most famous speech any American has ever made in Lithuania exactly 20 years ago," Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview. "That was even before we were a member of NATO, and it was probably the most important security guarantee that we got before Article Five started covering us with its umbrella."

Charles Simon, BSEE, MSCs, is the founder and CEO of Future AI: Technologies that Think. Within the next decade, artificial general intelligence (AGI)--the ability of computer systems to understand, learn and respond as humans do--is expected to emerge. And while it's relatively easy to cite benefits that AGI could produce, it is equally important to note that the risks of AGI are very real. In the short-term, the risks associated with AGI typically revolve around job displacement. Truthfully, this is something that likely would occur with or without AGI.

Russian chess legend Garry Kasparov was beaten by a supercomputer -- but when it comes to artificial intelligence, he is firmly convinced that it's humans who pose the real threat. Kasparov has remained fascinated by technology since his famous matches against IBM's Deep Blue computer in the 1990s. When he wasn't busy taking on 10 simultaneous chess opponents at Lisbon's Web Summit this week -- handily beating them all in 45 minutes -- he spoke to AFP about AI's growing role in society. "We live in a world where machines are playing bigger and bigger roles. Whether you like it or not, it's happening," he said.

Seoul – South Korean President Moon Jae-in called on Wednesday for a regional infectious disease control and public health initiative involving Japan, China, Mongolia, and North Korea to tackle health crises and lay the foundation for peace with Pyongyang. Moon unveiled the so-called Northeast Asia Cooperation Initiative for Infectious Disease Control and Public Health during a video address to the U.N. General Assembly. "In the face of the COVID-19 crisis that poses a greater threat to humanity than a war, we came to be acutely reminded that the safety of neighboring countries is directly linked to that of our own," Moon said, according to an English translation of his prepared remarks distributed by his office. Such an initiative would lead North Korea to "engage with the international community," according to Moon. "It is not only Korea's response to COVID-19 but also the invaluable lessons Korea will be gaining from institutionalizing peace that Korea wishes to share with the rest of the world," he said.

Elon Musk: Google's AI Camera Doesn't Even Pretend to be Innocent Musk, who thinks AI could trigger World War III and poses a far greater threat than North Korea, has now tweeted against "Clips" and its prowess. Elon Musk: Google's AI Camera Doesn't Even Pretend to be Innocent Google's artificial intelligence (AI)-based "Clips" camera has not impressed Tesla founder Elon Musk, a famed critic of AI. "Clips" does image recognition and AI processing on-device, deploying machine learning to automatically click best pictures for you. Musk, who thinks AI could trigger World War III and poses a far greater threat than North Korea, has now tweeted against "Clips" and its prowess. Musk took to Twitter with reference to a video of "Clips" posted by The Verge. "This doesn't even'seem' innocent," he tweeted.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is enjoying one of its periodic moments in the limelight. Some of this we can put down to the ongoing fascination Hollywood seems to have with AI. From Stanley Kubrick's 2001 to Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, Stephen Spielberg's Artificial Intelligence to Alex Garland's Ex Machina; Hollywood has made enjoyable films and good money out of AI. These films have inspired generations of AI students. Indeed AI was once described as making computers that behave like the ones in the movies!

Welcome to the 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair Poll for April 2016. This month's poll probes the world of artificial intelligence, a term said to be first used by pioneering Stanford professor John McCarthy more than 60 years ago. He described it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines." From those humble beginnings, machines, computers and robots have made extraordinary advances in their applications and capabilities. Whoever thought that IBM would build a computer that could defeat two of the best Jeopardy players in history?
