Social robots deserve our appreciation, bioethicist says
If you have sex with an android doll and then knock it around the room, are you being abusive? If you're in a foul mood and boot your robotic pet down the stairs, are you being a jerk? In either scenario, is the device's owner culpable of bad behavio
A deep learning technique for global field reconstruction with sparse sensors
Developing methods to accurately reconstruct spatial fields using data collected by sparse sensors has been a long-standing challenge in both physics and computer science. Ultimately, such methods could significantly aid the design, prediction, analysis and control of complex physical systems.

Yes, DeepMind crunches the numbers – but is it really a magic bullet? | John Naughton
The machine learning outfit’s foray into pharmaceuticals could be very useful, but its grand claims should be taken with a pinch of salt
Stanford Uses AI To Make Holographic Displays Look Even More Like Real Life
Virtual and augmented reality headsets are designed to place wearers directly into other environments, worlds, and experiences. While the technology is already popular among consumers for its immersive quality, there could be a future where the holographic displays look even more like real life.

Researchers are looking into the potential technological threats to data safety and privacy from the smart supermarkets of the future.
The ethics of digital technology in the food sector
Imagine a world in which smart packaging for supermarket-ready meals updates you in real-time to tell you about carbon footprints, gives live warnings on product recalls and instant safety alerts because allergens were detected unexpectedly in the factory.
BT uses epidemiological modelling for new cyberattack-fighting AI
BT is deploying an AI trained on epidemiological modelling to fight the increasing risk of cyberattacks.
An Artist Who Disavows the Possibility of Individual Agency
According to Agnieszka Kurant, everything we make — from the systems that oppress us to the inventions that transform us — is the result of a collective.
A neural network-based optimization technique inspired by the principle of annealing
Optimization problems involve the identification of the best possible solution among several possibilities. These problems can be encountered in real-world settings, as well as in most scientific research fields.
