The future of artificial intelligence.
The Kurious Star
A star is born within a huge, cold cloud of gas and dust, known as a nebula. These clouds start to shrink under their own extreme gravity. As the cloud gets smaller, it breaks into clumps. Each clump eventually becomes so hot that nuclear reactions start. When the temperature reaches 10 million degrees Celsius, it gives birth to a new star.

Kuri's Search for Knowledge
Kuri rolled along the rough rocks of his home planet, zipping towards his cave. The only sound that he heard was that of his wheels zooming, with the occasional pebble clattering through. He was returning home following a day of travel, the same as the day before that and the day before that and the day before that.

Artificial Intelligence to Life
It’s no secret that humanity is working to build artificial intelligence. The speed at which technology is advancing makes it seem that every other day in tech there is some new development that pushes us closer to seeing an AI that might be indiscernible from a person.

Robots
We are on the brink of some remarkable technology that could either help or destroy mankind. We have to be careful of what we create, even the great Elon Musk has given warnings on this matter and many more influential people have too. In the great sci-fi movies, we have seen how machines can wipe us out and treat us as a mere form of bacteria. Films like Terminator and A.I. and many others have perhaps given us an insight into tomorrow. On the other end of the spectrum, we have TV shows and movies like Star Trek and Star Wars that have a different approach on machines. They actually have them help humans and become friends with us and the like. So I ask myself, "Will these cyborgs do us good or harm?" I think we shall have to play that one out and wait and see. In the world of the classic Buck Rogers, A.I. had taken over court proceedings and laws, etc. That could be a good thing actually.

A Clever 'Halo' Fan Has Transformed Cortana into a Holographic AI Personal Assistant
In a world populated by the likes of Amazon's Alexa, Google AI, Apple's Siri and Microsoft's Cortana, we're heading toward a future where artificial intelligence is fast becoming an in-home personal assistant. With the tech giants all behind the evolution of AI, it's a future that many of us have only dreamed of up to this point. However, what if someone decided to push past the concept of a disembodied voice acting as a PA to make AI in a similar vein to the Princess Leia hologram, only better?

Like Luthiers
For all of the contraptions that the company Zeroth Robots, could dream up, there remained a most special device. This appliance didn’t do your homework for you. No, it didn’t wash your face for you or brush your teeth automatically. This particular innovation allowed for the weary, the downtrodden, the forlorn and the melancholic to uplift their spirits with a simple tap of a screen. While most would think that automation would be behind manufacturing automobiles and processing washer and dryer units, this device offered psychiatric attention. In a field wrought with ample attention placed on human-to-human interaction, this was a seismic shift in the way the profession dealt with everything from depression to dependency.

Mashed Potatoes
Beep Boop thought the robot. He woke up for the first time 4 minutes 18 seconds ago. They told him he was a robot 4 minutes 12 seconds ago. The word disturbed a graveyard of buried images. He saw glimpses of mechanical arms putting doors on cars. He saw a toy dance for a boy as he mashed buttons on a remote. He saw Vin Diesel say "Superman". He looked down at the plate in front of him. He looked at his mashed potatoes. After their first speech, they had led him by the hand to this table. He sat with them all. "You can eat," they told him. He didn't think that was for them to decide. He held his fork up and looked at it. He saw images of families eating at tables. He saw roads diverging in front of him. He saw mobs holding farming tools and torches shouting "Monster". 3 minutes and 48 seconds ago they told him he was part of humanity. The word brought up images of a crying baby, of an old man in a white bed, and now, of the mob with the tools and torches. 3 minutes 45 second ago he was told he was here to serve humanity. The contradiction these statements made brought up the phrase "Does Not Compute". He missed some of the next part of their speech. He was busy laughing to himself and finding out what laughing was. He did not want to let them know he could do that. It seems like they would take it away.
