'Woke Inc.' author Vivek Ramaswamy called the relationship between Big Tech and the government threat to liberty because'each can do what the other cannot.' The political fable, "Animal Farm," written by visionary George Orwell, was published on this day in history, Aug. 17, 1945. The plot of "Animal Farm" is based on the story of the Russian Revolution and its betrayal by Joseph Stalin and is deemed an allegory, according to Britannica.com The novella tells the story of a group of barnyard animals that overthrow and chase off their exploitative human masters -- and set up an egalitarian society of their own, the same source chronicles. As "Animal Farm" opens, Mr. Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, is intoxicated and heading to bed.

Ignore the noise about a "Terminator scenario" in which machines become self-aware and seek to destroy their flawed human masters. Those of us who live and work in the "salt mines" of machine learning and artificial intelligence are almost universally unafraid. Still, a few well-known technical folk heroes continue to push this "sky is falling" narrative. The most prolific of them is Elon Musk, famed founder of Tesla and SpaceX. Not only do I think he's wrong, I think his own company, Tesla Motors, is a compelling proof point against his argument.

Sony will roll out a new robot dog that's capable of real Fido-like feelings – including bonding with its human masters and responding to owner commands, according to the Wall Street Journal. Man's best friend is getting a makeover. Sony will roll out a new robot dog that's capable of real Fido-like feelings – including bonding with its human masters and responding to owner commands, according to the Wall Street Journal. The pet bot will be similar to Sony's AIBO robot pet prototypes, which have been discontinued, and will have updated software to allow users to control their home appliances. Sony plans to unveil the product at a media event next November and roll it out in spring 2018.

In the Terminator film franchise, hyper-intelligent robots learn to operate without their human masters, leading to a machine uprising that wipes out most of mankind. Researchers have now recommended that humans design intelligent robots of the future with less self-assurance to stop them breaking away from human control. The team suggest that over-confident artificial intelligence can cause an array of problems. Their research found that an AI that is too self-assured will override the wishes of its human supervisor. The team claim that over-confident artificial intelligence can cause an array of problems.

Humans, from the time it took its first primitive steps towards civilization, have relied on tools – to survive, evolve, make sense of the world around them and to shape that world to their needs. From the first rock hurled at a wild animal in self-defense, to the farmer's sickle, to the hundreds of thousands of lines of code dictating logic inside a robot, humans have used tools to overcome almost all of their shortcomings. Our tool building ability has even slowed down the process of natural selection – instead of letting our genes modify and adapt to surviving in arctic conditions like polar bears over thousands of generations, we skin animals using our tools and wrap ourselves in fur as protection from the cold. All of this has a deeper meaning when contemplating the future of our species. In terms of the way humans worked, the Hunter-Gatherer age lasted tens of thousands of years, the Agricultural Age lasted thousands of years, the Industrial Age lasted just a little over a century and the current Information Age is expected to last only a few decades.

Yoshinori Nomura felt like weeping. It was the morning of June 24, Brexit day, and markets were moving against him. It was the hedge fund manager's self-learning computer program that had placed the bet, selling Japanese stock-index futures before a sizable market advance. Nomura had anticipated a rally, but decided not to interfere, and his fund was paying the price. Then, in an instant, everything changed.

WHO would have thought that a Frisbee-shaped contraption that extracts dust from carpets would be the state of the art in household robots at the dawn of the 21st century? In the past year, Roomba, a circular automatic vacuum cleaner made by a firm called iRobot, has swept up millions of dollars from over 200,000 buyers--and was a must-have at Christmas, among geeks at least. Rival firms such as Electrolux and Karcher sell similar but pricier sweepers. Robot vacuum cleaners, it seems, are catching on. Are these mere playthings, or the beginning of a new trend?
