The Future This Week: DeepMind, ATLAS, and the OSIRIS-REx

In The Future This Week, fnac rencontre brel Serious Wonder blasts off into space in search of this week’s headlines of the future, from USB drives that’ll destroy anything it plugs into to the development of an artificial intelligence that is capable of mimicking human speech. This week we’re given a glimpse of the future where humanoid robots are as well-balanced as us humans and we’re sending space probes out into deep space to recover samples of ancient asteroids.

We’re giving it our likeness and we’re using it to help us expand as a species. Just as the late Carl Sagan once said, we are wanderers. Our ongoing journey into the future will take us to unknown lands and achieve greatness beyond our current comprehension. This is our moment to shine. Welcome to the future!
