Summary | According to numerous studies, children need human contact and culture in order to develop normally. Nowadays, digital screens are slowly replacing human presence; however, studies show that digital devices are toxic. The other bad news is that people don't believe in funding culture. But we need culture to feed our mind.

Summary | Artificial intelligence is spreading, which can be worrying. Google, Facebook, IBM, Microsoft and Amazon decided to create the "Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to Benefit People and Society" in order to answer ethical questions, and do more research on the impact of new technologies on society. Another goal of the project is to educate people, listen to them, and be transparent with them. Stephen Hawking thinks that AI could end humanity, and Elon Musk claims that it could be more dangerous than atomic bombs.

(Artificial intelligence also reproduces human beings' sexism and racism)

Summary | Gender stereotypes are reproduced in some artificial intelligence programs. Researchers at the University of Stanford show how machine learning can replicate people's biases. They based their research on a technology called GloVe, which is trained to look for common associations. The technology points to some problematic associations that illustrate sexism and racism. The fact that AI follows people's prejudices can have some serious consequences, so people are trying to find solutions against AI's biases.
