With summer gone and the skies already greying over in preparation for six months of uncontested rain, you may well be thinking more seriously about video games. September and October tend to see the biggest releases of the year, so you can expect many evenings spent hiding from the world while playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 or Mario Party Jamboree. If your gaming set-up is looking a little tired and you want to treat yourself to a serious seasonal upgrade, here are some suggestions. If you have a PS5 or Xbox Series X, you'll want a 4K TV at the very least, but also a model that supports a 120-Hz refresh rate, which provides incredibly smooth, fluid image quality for compatible games. The TV should have at least one HDMI 2.1 port and you'll need a 2.1 HDMI-compatible cable to plug in your console.

AI chatbots are all the rage on the internet right now, but how much do you know about how the tech is being trained? The Washington Post explains how text that's mostly scraped from the internet is ingested and transformed into human-like speech, including training material from "proprietary, personal and often offensive websites." Being a celebrity in the social media age means playing a constant game of whack-a-mole fighting imposters. The Hollywood Reporter explains how paid verification has only increased the challenge and how companies like Social Imposter are enlisted to help. Great deals on consumer electronics delivered straight to your inbox, curated by Engadget's editorial team.

Parenting is beautiful, joyous, and overwhelming at times. When you embrace parenthood, the biggest task that you can ever imagine is putting your ward to sleep. It's true, putting kids to bed is a huge challenge, especially when they request a new and interesting bedtime story every night. But thanks to artificial intelligence and Oscar, this just became a cakewalk. A Vienna-based firm has streamlined the process of customized storytelling by developing an AI-powered app called Oscar.

The viral Donald Trump arrest and prison escape photos are hilarious, and were based on a famous movie! Take a look for yourself, and learn about the story behind these viral photos! BREAKING: Donald Trump was just arrested by New York law enforcement. Recommended: Did Simon Cowell Just Die In A Car Accident?! The truth is these viral Donald Trump arrest photos are fake, and were generated by artificial intelligence, and is really based on a famous Hollywood movie! First, let me just confirmed that all those viral photos of police officers trying to arrest Donald Trump are fake, and were generated by artificial intelligence.

I was involved with AI in the symbolic AI era of the 1980s until the so-called AI Winter. At that point, I went to grad school for a computer science Ph.D. and then had the good fortune to co-found a successful marketing automation software company (with co-founder Anu Shukla) in the 90s. Around 2015, I was on a business trip to Hong Kong when someone pulled me aside and showed me WeChat, which -- in the Chinese-speaking world -- was a replacement for websites, mobile apps, and email marketing. I knew that historically, every time a new customer interaction channel emerged, there was an opportunity for new marketing automation vendors to focus on it. We founded Botco.ai to provide tools for this new conversational marketing channel.

Did China just introduce an artificial woman called HOORI, with artificial intelligence and 72 hour battery life?! Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are! Netizens are sharing a video of an artificial woman on WhatsApp and social media, claiming that she was invented by a Chinese company. A artificial woman made in China has been released into the Chinese market. The body flesh is made of 100% Fanta Flesh material with silicone parts. A single charge will work for 72 hours without interruption.

A pivotal moment in my early career as a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University was when I saw a demonstration of the first soccer-playing robots in the summer of 1994. They were from Alan Mackworth's lab at the University of British Columbia, and I became immediately inspired to try to understand the intelligence required to play soccer. At the time, most AI researchers were focused on much more abstract planning tasks, or short-time-duration skills for individual robots. I saw the opportunity to use the game of soccer to, for the first time, investigate new methods for enabling collaborative (with teammates) and adversarial (against opponents) multi-robot planning in relatively complex domains. It so happened that one of the few other people in the world at the time who was thinking about robot soccer as a challenge domain for AI was Hiroaki Kitano at Sony (currently the CTO of Sony and CEO of Sony AI).

Our healthcare fraternity was among the most affected industries when the pandemic came unannounced, but the happy news is that clinicians, medical providers, and hospital administrators were quick to adapt to AI-enabled techniques like natural language processing and machine learning technology to overcome manual challenges and strengthen the healthcare sector and become more efficient and affordable. In the last couple of years, the healthcare industry predicted several things – from emergencies and effective treatments to handling staffing and planning rosters, AI and its army of tools have made the life of medical professionals and patients quite simple. Besides predictive analytics, healthcare also benefited from blockchain technology which upholds patient information and protects health data to ensure the patient is receiving the best of both worlds. The healthcare industry is at the cusp of some sophisticated technological changes and AI and ML are only helping to refurbish the existing systems and improve efficiency by automating processes and helping augment the work of the clinical staff and nurses. For instance, several manual, tedious and repetitive tasks can be automated, so the scope of manual errors can be eliminated.

DRS Imaging Services, which specializes in digital document conversion and management, announced that it has changed its name to Daida. This change follows a merger with like-minded companies Imagetek, Doculynx, and Integra. The new name reflects the full suite of combined services the new company offers, as well as the power of data to transform the lives of the customers they serve. Since 1964, DRS Imaging has provided high quality and efficient means of document imaging, scanning, and management. The change displays their continued devotion to the latest in business tech innovations, incorporating AI for artificial intelligence, A for automation and analytics, and I for innovation.

Leveraging indie's global sales channels underpinned by leading tier 1 and vehicle OEMs, this partnership enables indie to deploy Seeing Machines' hardware-optimized, industry-leading Occula Neural Processing Unit (NPU) technology into the Company's first generation of innovative vision sensing system-on-chips (SoCs). Based on data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), distracted driving is a factor in nearly 10 percent of fatal motor crashes and in the U.S. alone, driver distraction is responsible for the deaths of over 3,000 people a year and the injury of a further 400,000. To reduce the number of accidents related to driver distraction or drowsiness and occupant fatalities, driver and occupant monitoring systems (DMS, OMS) are now being mandated or strongly recommended by global regulators and standards organizations through initiatives such as Europe's General Safety Regulations (GSR), European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP), the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), and is currently being reviewed by the U.S. NHTSA rulemaking for inclusion in updated U.S. NCAP guidelines. To operate effectively, camera-based monitoring solutions need to address a number of challenges, including dynamic lighting conditions that range from complete darkness to bright sunlight, and factors such as driver height, position, skin tones and facial obscuration, such as wearing sunglasses. "indie's expansion of intelligent, vision-based sensing solutions is another critical step in our mission to save lives via our diverse ADAS and sensor fusion product portfolio," said Abhay Rai, senior vice president of indie Semiconductor's Vision Business Unit.
