Getting children (and adults) to tidy up after themselves can be a challenge, but we face an even greater challenge trying to get our AI agents to do the same. Success depends on the mastery of several core visuo-motor skills: approaching an object, grasping and lifting it, opening a box and putting things inside of it. To make matters more complicated, these skills must be applied in the right sequence.

Google Just Made It Harder to Spot Fake News
Google debuted changes to its image search on February 15th, which simplified the way individual results display. In response to complaints from Getty Images, Google removed some helpful if peripheral features associated with each image found within its results.
