Over the next few years, we’ll see the two companies help carve out a new landscape for residential energy management. For those familiar with Silicon Valley’s strategies, this might come as expected: enter an old industry, solve some of its inefficiencies, and dominate it. However, the energy industry is unique. Big tech’s story in energy — at the moment we’re in — won’t be about domination. Instead, it will help support the electric grid, teach us how to use electricity more efficiently, and even promote the use of renewable energy.

This paper first describes the four core elements of today's digital power concentration, which need to be seen in cumulation and which, seen together, are both a threat to democracy and to functioning markets. It then recalls the experience with the lawless Internet and the relationship between technology and the law as it has developed in the Internet economy and the experience with GDPR before it moves on to the key question for AI in democracy, namely which of the challenges of AI can be safely and with good conscience left to ethics, and which challenges of AI need to be addressed by rules which are enforceable and encompass the legitimacy of democratic process, thus laws. The paper closes with a call for a new culture of incorporating the principles of democracy, rule of law and human rights by design in AI and a three-level technological impact assessment for new technologies like AI as a practical way forward for this purpose. This article is part of a theme issue ‘Governing artificial intelligence: ethical, legal, and technical opportunities and challenges’ of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences Full Article <http://rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/376/2133/20180089> *How virtual reality is transforming autism studies* Researchers and autistic artists are exploring virtual reality to study, treat and simulate autism traits. Autism therapists and researchers started to use VR in the mid-1990s, not long after headsets became widely available to consumers and other forms of immersion, such as first-person shooter games, became popular. Researchers often deployed the technology to create virtual environments to help autistic people rehearse stressful encounters. For instance, Rizzo’s team built a virtual job-interview training program. In a study published last year, they recruited adults with autism or other conditions for a training regimen involving interviewers who ranged from gentle to aggressive. Rizzo says the participants with autism significantly improved in their interviewing skills, as rated by job counselors.

Full post <https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/happy-birthday-amitabh-bachchan-76…> *The Battle for the Next Billion Internet Users Has Begun* Large parts of the world’s population are still unconnected, further disadvantaging the least developed regions of the planet Today, the world is more connected than ever. Soon, 5G will herald the next era of digitalization. While we are discussing trends such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and augmented reality, we tend to forget that there are still about four billion people on our planet who are unconnected, with the vast majority of those residing in developing and least developed countries (LDCs) in Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. As high mobile network penetration already prevails in these markets, mobile (as opposed to fixed) broadband services tend to be the prevalent form of access technology. However, mobile broadband coverage is still very limited in many regions and data plans as well as smartphones are often unaffordable for the local population. In addition, available internet content is often not relevant enough to local communities. Finally, digital illiteracy as well as gender discrepancies in internet adoption pose additional barriers. The digital divide between the developed and the developing world is at risk of widening if broadband network deployment, price decline, and subsequently consumer adoption do not keep up with the required growth levels. 3G and 4G coverage is indeed expanding while data prices are on a downward trajectory, even in developing countries. But at the same time, the bar for what is considered a decent internet experience is constantly rising. Modern applications consume more data and require faster connection speeds and lower latency for an acceptable user experience, especially with video streaming projected to make up 75% of global data traffic. The fast pace of development of these factors puts developing countries at risk of falling further behind the developed world. The economic and societal impact of being connected is significant, especially in emerging markets. The link between internet access and economic growth is indisputable. In mature economies, the internet is responsible for about a quarter of GDP growth. Universal internet adoption in developing countries could make a tremendous difference for the state of those economies. The possibilities for education and healthcare would better lives for the poor and disadvantaged; increased literacy rates and life expectancy would uplift underprivileged communities. Full post <https://medium.com/@i.haffke/the-battle-for-the-next-billion-internet-users…> *Future Factory: How Technology Is Transforming Manufacturing* From advanced robotics in R&D labs to computer vision in warehouses, technology is making an impact on every step of the manufacturing process. As industrial technology grows increasingly pervasive, this wave of automation and digitization is being labelled “Industry 4.0,” as in the fourth industrial revolution. So, what does the future of factories hold? To answer this, we took a deep dive into 8 different steps of the manufacturing process, to see how they are starting to change: - Product R&D: A look at how platforms are democratizing R&D talent, the ways AI is helping materials science, and how the drafting board of tomorrow could be an AR or VR headset. - Resource Planning & Sourcing: On-demand decentralized manufacturing and blockchain projects are working on the complexities of integrating suppliers. - Operations Technology Monitoring & Machine Data: A look at the IT stack and platforms powering future factories. First, factories will get basic digitization, and further along we’ll see greater predictive power. - Labor Augmentation & Management: AR, wearables, and exoskeletons are augmenting human capabilities on the factory floor. - Machining, Production & Assembly: Modular equipment and custom machines like 3D printers are enabling manufacturers to handle greater demand for variety. - Quality Assurance (QA): A look at how computer vision will find imperfections, and how software and blockchain tech will more quickly be able to identify problems (and implement recalls). - Warehousing: New warehouse demand could bring “lights-out” warehouses even faster than an unmanned factory, with the help of robotics and vision tracking. - Transport & Supply Chain Management: Telematics, IoT, and autonomous vehicles will bring greater efficiency and granularity for manufacturers delivering their products.

Placenta stem cells. These are just some of the innovative ways that startups are tackling mortality and increasing the human lifespan. In this report, we dive into each one and track what progress has been made in the quest to find the elusive fountain of youth. Full post <https://www.cbinsights.com/research/report/future-aging-technology-startups/> *What a 100-year-old idea can teach us about cybersecurity -- Randomness: The Fix for Today’s Broken Security* A 100 year-old idea, brought to life by modern technology, can protect us from even the smartest hackers, most powerful intelligence agencies and the fastest quantum computers. The cyberworld in which we spend our days — and on which our lives depend — is not safe, and is becoming more dangerous all the time. From nation-states trying to sway elections with fake news to ransomware that shuts down hospitals, we are living in a “Wild West” in which any data, or any transaction, may be attacked at any time. And like travelers in a lawless frontier, we are left to scan the horizon constantly for trouble, scrambling to plug the leaks in defenses we don’t quite trust. We are vulnerable not just because of the increasing sophistication of hackers, who are today as likely to be well-funded criminal organizations or governments as petty thieves or amateurs out for the thrill of defacing a Web site. Nor is the greatest threat the development of new offensive tools such as quantum computers, which might soon be powerful enough to crack today’s most widely used cryptographic ciphers. The biggest problem is that our basic approach to cyber security is flawed.
