The headline from RiskandInsurance.com says it all: “Machine Learning Could Make Hackers Practically Unstoppable: Are You Ready?” Good question. Serious question. And one which, no doubt, has registered as barely a blip on the collective minds of busy, technologically-driven, chip-card-paying, online shopping, Amazon data-storing Americans. But the shadowy side of artificial intelligence’s rapidly developing world...
A few days ago, in an appearance on “Washington Journal” on C-SPAN, I said in answer to a caller’s question about abortion that it was a sad situation all around — that I didn’t know any woman who went cheerily toward the procedure, happily off to the operating table, in some sort of “let the...
The digital media firm GlobalData just announced that six artificial intelligence giants — Google, Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, Salesforce and Oracle — have joined in a pledge to improve and speed “the progress of health data standards and interoperability,” all aimed at improving patient care and lowering costs.

Researchers have discovered a way to stare artificial intelligence deep into the windows of humans’ souls and emerge with a score card on personality as it pertains to four traits: neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness. They were also able to gauge levels of curiosity by tracking eye activity. Eye-gazing — technology’s next venture toward omniscience....
Leftists have been particularly crafty about clamping down and chilling conservative thought lately, boldly going where milder-mannered censors have previously feared to tread and managing to make several righteous-sounding cases, at least among their circles of progressive types, for the booting of deemed hate speakers from social media.
