Today's Story Highlights

Apple May Go All-In With Audio
Apple plans to expand its audio product line next year with new AirPods,
HomePods and possibly studio-quality over-the-ear headphones. The new
generation of AirPods will feature noise cancellation, be water
resistant, and have greater range, according to a report citing people
familiar with the developments. Apple's plans reflect an expanded role
for audio in the company's future.

The Best Defense Against Fake News in Social Media
IBM just showcased Project Debater, and it just won against a top human
debater using actual facts. We need the production version of this tool
yesterday. The problem with fake news is that it is getting worse over
time. We have always had issues with politicians and con artists trying
to convince us down is up and to get us to do things that, were we
informed, we'd never do.

Facebook Shores Up Its Position on Fake News Front
Facebook has announced new tactics to reduce the spread of fake news.
Its efforts will include combining technology with human reviewers to
identify and remove fake accounts; partnering with fact-checkers; and
promoting news literacy. Facebook will expand its fact-checking programs
to new countries, scrutinize photos and videos more closely, and
increase the impact of fact-checking.
