Back in 2016 Google showed off their radar gadget that could detect objects. It uses radar and is taught the signature of objects, so that it can then recognise them when they are placed on the detector. It’s the size of a coaster for your mug to tea, and yes the device could tell the […]

55 years of AI, a look back at the MIT Tech Review from my birth year.

I have been thinking a lot about the future of mobile, and how we are likely to move away from an over reliance on that little black rectangle we carry around.
