Altre tecnologie arriveranno presto a cambiare il nostro mondo. Per esempio, il machine learning e la macchina a guida autonoma. Di queste tecnologie, appena sconfinate dalla fantascienza alla scienza, si occupa Francesca Rossi al T.J. Watson Research Center di Ibm a New York. Che cosa significa trovarsi al fronte del progresso scientifico?

Imagine que se despierta en mitad de la noche cuando las bombillas inteligentes de su casa explotaron a toda potencia sin ninguna razón.

There are also some who wish for immortality, and with the advances in technology and modern movements the question arises, “Are such things possible?”

Our national security increasingly depends on access to the most sophisticated and advanced technology. Yet the next time we set out to capture a terrorist leader, we may fail. Why? The answer lies in a conflict between two worlds. One is the dynamic, global, commercial world with its thriving innovations. The other is the world of national security, in which innovation is a matter of life or death. The conflict is about secrecy. Innovating in a Secret World is a detailed examination of the current trends in often secret national security-related research and development (R&D).
