Will plans for urban innovation hubs cure the UK’s anxiety over an uncertain future? Just ask Singapore Since I arrived in Singapore in 2015, I often get the feeling that I'm living in the future. I cruise through immigration at Changi Airport, scanning my passport and thumb without breaking stride. I surf a 1Gbps fibre connection at home and work from a buzzing co-working space full of startups.
WIRED Logo The President in Conversation With MIT’s Joi Ito and WIRED’s Scott Dadich Joi Ito, Scott Dadich, and President Barack Obama photographed in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on August 24, 2016. IT’S HARD TO think of a single technology that will shape our world more in the next 50 years than artificial intelligence. As machine learning enables our computers to teach themselves, a we
Will Smith (@willsmith) is the founder of a startup, currently in stealth mode, that is enabling next-generation content creation in virtual and augmented reality. You may also know him from his work at Tested.com, or as the top Google image search result for "oculus rift guy." It sounds simple, but perfecting the execution has prove difficult. Most people are highly sensitive to the slightest dis
Using RFID tracking and very fast data crunching, the new NFL app for Xbox One and Windows 10 turns real-game action into game-like graphics. In terms of size, speed, and strength, NFL football players have always been superhuman. This season, they’re all about to become cyborgs, too. Last year, the NFL tested out Zebra Technologies MotionWorks RFID system in 18 stadiums to track vector data: A pl
A cell biologist and genetic biologist, Hessel states that "practically no-one understands what I do", and as such, he is equally as happy to accept the informal description of biohacker. The world he works in is "an invisible world to most people" purely because of the very tiny scale of the physics he works with. Hessel works with cells, which he describes as "the most complex machine in the kno
When 17-year-old George Hotz became the world’s first hacker to crack AT&T's lock on the iPhone in 2007, the companies officially ignored him while scrambling to fix the bugs his work exposed. When he later reverse engineered the Playstation 3, Sony sued him and settled only after he agreed to never hack another Sony product. When Hotz dismantled the defenses of Google’s Chrome operating system ea
If machines are going to become as smart as Google and NASA want them to be, they may need a whole new type of computing to get them there. Quantum computing, that is. So today Google said it's opening a lab -- complete with a quantum computer -- called the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab. It's hosted at NASA's Ames Research center, located just down the Highway 101 from Google's Mountain View
When some future Mars colonist is able to open his browser and watch a cat in a shark suit chasing a duck while riding a roomba, they will have Vint Cerf to thank. Wired talked to the Chief Internet Evangelist at Google to get a sense of how the interplanetary internet works. When some future Mars colonist is able to open his browser and watch a cat in a shark suit chasing a duck while riding a ro
Who needs the freaky precogs of Minority Report to predict if someone's likely to commit murder when you have an algorithm that can do it for you? New crime-prediction software used in Maryland and Pennsylvania, and soon to be rolled out in the nation's capital too, promises to reduce the homicide rate by predicting which prison parolees are likely to commit murder and therefore receive more strin
GitHub, the popular and well funded version control company, is entering the 3-D printing market. Their new software, called "Make Me" allows users to push files to the MakerBot via HTTP and monitor the build process via web cam. "Make Me" frees users from using dedicated computers with their 3-D printers.Photo: Courtesy GitHub GitHub, the popular and well-funded version-control company, is enteri
Better Than Human: Why Robots Will — And Must — Take Our Jobs The rote tasks of any information-intensive job can be automated. It doesn’t matter if you are a doctor, lawyer, architect, reporter, or even programmer: The robot takeover will be epic. Imagine that 7 out of 10 working Americans got fired tomorrow. What would they all do? It's hard to believe you'd have an economy at all if you gave pi
Over the weekend, a group of 3-D printing gunsmiths took a partially printed rifle out to test how long its plastic parts survived spewing bullets. The result? Six rounds until it snapped apart. A group of 3-D printing gunsmiths have taken another step toward making a gun you can download off the internet. This weekend, the desktop weaponeers took a partially printed rifle out to test how long its
Patents threaten every software developer, and the patent wars we have long feared have broken out. Software developers and software users – which in our society, is most people – need software to be free of patents. The patents that threaten us are often called "software patents," but that term is misleading. Such patents are not about any specific program. Rather, each patent describes some prac
Skip Article Header. Skip to: Start of Article. After leaving Google and his job building software in the engine room of the web’s largest empire, Marcel Kornacker took a little break. He spent two weeks baking bread. “Seriously, the guy made baguettes for two weeks straight,” says Charles Zedlewski, a friend and colleague. “He went to one of those baking schools that professionals go to — the kin
