Two companies are coming together to develop humanoid robots with AI that will be able to perform jobs from manufacturing to healthcare professions. Not only is this emerging tech shaking up industries across the board, it's also stirring up a storm in the quest for youth. Scientists are working round the clock, using AI as their magic wand in their relentless search for natural compounds that can slow down the aging process. Mother Nature, being the generous lady she is, has filled her pantry to the brim with potential compounds. We might as well try to catch a cellphone signal in the middle of the Sahara.

Check out part one and two of this series for the first five and fifty years in AI. In part three we push the very limits of reality and look 500 years into the swirling depths of tomorrow. We've spread out towards the stars and colonized the solar system, from settlements orbiting the glittering rings of Saturn, to sprawling cities on the red hills of Mars built by nano insects invisible to the eyes. When their big bellies are filled to bursting, they rocket along invisible superhighways, delivering He3 to energy hungry fusion micro-reactors that power the interplanetary economy. Beyond the rings, deep space mining ships release clouds of drones like baby spiders into the wind and they digest asteroids hurtling in the endless void. The drones fuel an unprecedented building boom on nearly every planet circling the sun, as city after city goes up on barren rocks long hostile to organic life.

From automated to autonomous and now cognitive, a paradigm shift is taking place in the design principles of machines, matter, methods and more. So, what are the principles of cognitive design? And are they centered around the future of humanity? From tabulating systems to programmable systems and now with cognitive systems, the evolution in computing allows humans to move beyond numbers and data to knowledge and intelligence. It is no longer about the replacement of man with machine, but rather about intelligence augmentation.

Just Cause 4 arrives at the end of a busy season of open world games. Fortunately, the series has always done things differently from the likes of Assassin's Creed, Read Dead Redemption, Far Cry and the rest. It's the game that coaxes you into causing destruction and explosions, offering a shamelessly hard-boiled physics playground for you cut loose inside. During a lengthy playtime session last week with what appears to be very close to the final game, Just Cause 4 begs to be live-streamed, clipped and shared on Twitch, Twitter, Reddit, Discord and everywhere else. That's how the team describes both the new elemental forces (tornadoes in four different kinds), and Rico Rodriguez and his super-powered grappling hook.

Computers are after your jobs, and they're coming fast. According to Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, artificial intelligence (AI) will beat humans at just about everything by 2030. We're already seeing the fast-food worker at the local McDonald's replaced by an interactive kiosk, so are farmers' livelihoods next? That is, if you believe some of the really terrifying research coming out of the University of Oxford. According to the report, machines will be superior to us in translating languages by 2024 and writing school essays by 2026.
