  • One of the 10 richest men in the world, Bill Gates, believes AI can save humans from Climate Change and cure diseases.  Here are some of the key points he made at the Breakthrough Energy Summit in London where he joined Prince William:
  • AI is a "wonderful" technology that can change the world
  • It can save humans from Climate Change and cure diseases
  • It will make complex green energy solutions like nuclear fusion energy much easier to do
  • However, there are potential dangers
  • He says it needs to be used by people with "good intent" not by criminals intent on cyber-attacks or political interference
  • He added "the defense has to be smarter than the offense and both sides will use AI to up their game"
  • Gates, who co-founded Microsoft with the late Paul Allen, believes AI will be accelerating innovation in every field including medicine and education.
  • Microsoft is a major global contender in the development of AI.

  • Which brilliant animals can recognize themselves in the mirror? Scientists from universities around the world, including Emory and Cardiff Universities are involved in this research.  Some animals that are able to recognize themselves in a mirror include:
  1. Chimpanzees
  2. Great apes
  3. Orangutans
  4. Asian elephants
  5. Mice
  6. Dolphins
  7. Pigeons
  • These animals have advanced cognitive skills
  • Many animals do not pass the mirror recognition test of cognitive skill intelligence
  • Is the time near when those animals that do recognize their reflection want to further enhance their looks with additional grooming time?  Imagine telling your pet to stop staring into the mirror - because they're getting too vain!
