Human Computation May Be Key to Solving World's Wicked Problems
Combining human and computer intelligence could help solve the world's
most vexing problems, researchers envisioned in an article published
Monday in the journal Science. Researchers from Cornell University and
the Human Computation Institute want more humans to help out in
accelerating research and finding solutions to life's most difficult
problems, such as cancer, HIV and climate change.

Zuckerberg Resolves to Invent, Encourages Girls to Invent Too
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's 2016 resolution to challenge himself
outside his work is to build a simple artificial intelligence assistant
to run his home and help him do a better job juggling his business
responsibilities. "You can think of it kind of like Jarvis in 'Iron
Man,'" he suggested. Zuckerberg first will explore the available
technology, then train it to understand his voice to control everything
in his home.

The Future of Deliveries Will Be Driverless
Thanks to Google, self-driving passenger cars have gained a lot of media
attention, but the immediate future of driverless vehicles may lie in
home deliveries. Starship Technologies in 2016 will launch two pilot
projects -- one in the UK and one in the U.S. -- to test a driverless
vehicle designed to make short-distance deliveries. The vehicle can
carry loads equivalent to two bags of groceries.
