Japanese bot does ads
Would you take instruction from a robot? This is not hypothetical for employees of ad agency McCann Japan. Called AI-CD Beta, the artificial intelligence will guide the agency鈥檚 ad creation using data from analysed TV shows. It鈥檚 clearly a bit of a PR stunt, but the fact that it has been picked up shows the world is taking AI workers seriously.

House, reconfigure
What if you lived in one room? This is the vision of the Cube Project at the University of Hertfordshire, which launched the latest version of its microhome at the Edinburgh International Science Festival. Designed for one person or a couple, the microhome aims to be energy neutral thanks to heat pumps, LED lighting, solar panels and triple glazing. The 18m2 floor is bordered by moving walls that can reconfigure between kitchen, lounge, bathroom and bedroom.
