It's not unusual to misplace your car keys or reading glasses (which are on your head). And wasn't your wallet on the kitchen counter a moment ago? OK, so maybe you've had a lot on your mind, these days. The good news, however, is technology can help you find your stuff.

It has a visual sheen that just looks better. It lets you look around neighborhoods to get your bearings, something Google has long offered but Apple did not.

Can AI overhaul the social care system? The startup has today taken the tiniest baby steps to launch an AI chatbot that it hopes will, at an unspecified point in future, be able to assist carers with recommendations for home care of people with conditions such as dementia.

Which underlines how the inflated promises of AI really do hinge on data acquisition.

The software started as a pretty simple voice assistant, then graduated to digital assistant. It is now nothing less than an artificial intelligence -- one that can rain AI fairy dust on any number of services and third-party apps. Hello, SiriKit As predicted, Siri finally has an SDK -- sort of.
