(Natural News) When will you die? It’s a morbid question that no one is able to answer with certainty; but a new artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm can. Developed by researchers from Stanford University, the AI is said to be capable of predicting the time of a patient’s death with terrifying accuracy. Tests have shown it […]

(Natural News) In 20 years, humans will have robot doubles containing digital copies of their consciousness. That’s the future envisioned by Microsoft executives Brad Smith and Harry Shum. According to the two men, artificial intelligence (AI) alter egos are inevitable. This is just one of the predictions they’ve outlined in their book, “The Future Computed.” In […]

(Natural News) While it may be impossible to create a fully-working and self-aware digital version of yourself with current technology, you are most likely — and unknowingly — creating all of the necessary ingredients for it simply through the use of your various digital devices. Unless you have very little or no access to phones, […]

(Natural News) A new study suggests that it may only be a matter of time until the radiology profession is rendered entirely obsolete. Not by lack of skills or certifications, but by the rise of highly-trained and incredibly accurate artificial intelligence machines. The paper, which was put together by Stanford University researchers and published under […]

(Natural News) Seasoned investigative journalist and author Jon Rappoport recently disputed that artificial intelligence is very far from its goal of merging with the human brain. Rappoport says that while AI systems have gained steam during the last few years, neuroscience has not completely understood how the human brain works. The renowned author also discussed that discovering the […]

(Natural News) A Facebook patent filed in 2015 was found to go such great lengths as scrutinizing minute details contained in an image in order to connect people. According to reports, the patent was designed to analyze a photo’s details — such as dust, scratches or lens marks — and compare it against photos uploaded by another user. The patent […]

(Natural News) A professor of electrical and computer engineering at The University of Oklahoma has issued a warning about the threat of artificial intelligence (AI) robots taking over the world. According to Dr. Subhash Kak, technological automation is already in the process of creating a “hellish dystopia” on earth, where all human jobs will eventually be […]

(Natural News) There is no such thing as privacy with Facebook. All the data that’s shared openly by Facebook users,  including pictures, connections, interests, comments, likes, and personal information is readily compiled and analyzed by algorithms to map out and predict who you are, where you go, what you’ll buy, and much more. Naïve Facebook users […]

(Natural News) It looks like our mothers really do know best. We might’ve scoffed at them when they tell us that we look a bit “under the weather,” but according to a study, there are individuals who can tell if a person is sick based on “subtle signs” only a few minutes after they have […]

(Natural News) A team of researchers at the University of Tokyo developed a pair of humanoid robots that can carry out a wide range of life-like activities — such as doing push ups, sit ups, and stretches as well as playing badminton and other complicated motions — in a less mechanical manner compared with most automatons. The robots, called Kengoro […]
