The World Economic Forum's annual list of this year's breakthrough technologies, published today, includes "socially aware" open AI. As technology for AI assistants expands, imagine that you could walk up to a display in a museum and ask a custom AI assistant any question you like about what you are seeing. Siri and Cortana and Google Assistant and Amazon Echo try to answer questions on all topics, but what if museums and other organizations could build their own add-on packs for their sphere of knowledge?

Very interesting commentary on the rise of wearable technology. How do we balance their (potential) use as assistive devices and our privacy rights?

The in-your-face nature of the technology has touched a nerve in a society growing increasingly concerned about the invasive nature of new technologies such as wearable gadgets and drones.

As a consumer, it doesn't make sense to fight wearable tech. Fitness and wellness technologies such as Nike+ FuelBand and FitBit demonstrate very digestible ways that regular folks are already wearing technology.

Five societal questions we can't avoid when we think about emerging technologies..this will make your head hurt.

Education is very important these days. I realized this at the university where we studied the economics. And I had problems writing texts.

Japan's first 3D photo booth will give people a chance have their entire bodies scanned and made into 3D-printed figurines using rapid prototyping technology.
