Today's Story Highlights

Human Rights Groups Sound Alarm Over 'Killer Robot' Threat
Leaders from Human Rights Watch and Harvard Law School's International
Human Rights Clinic have issued a dire warning that nations around the
world haven't been doing enough to ban the development of autonomous
weapons -- so-called "killer robots." The groups issued a joint report
that calls for a complete ban on these systems before it becomes too
late to act.

10 Ways to Avoid Losing Your Retirement to a Scam
Several years ago, my wife and I invested in a project called "Sanctuary
Belize" and, like many of the investors, we were incredibly excited
about the prospect of retiring in paradise. After a time, things just
weren't adding up. The company supposedly put controls in place to
reverse course, but we exited the project. As it turned out, those
controls either were not put in place or failed.

Amazon Is Just the Tip of the AI Bias Iceberg
Amazon recently disclosed its 2015 decision to scrap a recruitment tool
used to hire talent, after finding that it had a bias against women.
While this story has been covered sufficiently, there is a much greater
story still to tell: A substantial amount of the AI technology that
currently is used for recruitment and human resources purposes has been
acting independently for some time.

Acumos Project's 1st Software, Athena, Helps Ease AI Deployment
The LF Deep Learning Foundation has announced the availability of the
first software from the Acumos AI Project. Dubbed "Athena," it supports
open source innovation in AI, ML and DL. The goal is to make critical
new technologies available to developers and data scientists everywhere.
Launched earlier this year, Acumos is part of a Linux Foundation
umbrella organization.

Review: Battlefield V Mixes Fantastic Gameplay With Intense Realism
After taking Battlefield to "the beginning" with the First World War-
based Battlefield 1 , developers have returned the action to World War
II with Battlefield V . Anyone who's not familiar with this first-person
shooter need know only that the original game, introduced in 2002 as
Battlefield 1942 , offers players the chance to control vehicles as well
as soldiers.
