Alibaba is making bold strides in the world of artificial intelligence (AI), setting its sights on a future where machines can reason like humans.

ARRI, a name synonymous with cutting-edge film technology since 1917, might be on the brink of revolutionizing the industry once again. Known for its world-class cameras and lighting equipment, ARRI is now making a bold leap into virtual production—one that could mark the end of traditional green screens as we know them.

As you may have noticed, we're always on the lookout for groundbreaking technologies to feature on our Tech Blog—ones that could benefit our readers and society as a whole. We don’t just report on innovations as they are; we explore their possibilities and ask the 'what ifs. This article is no exception, it's about a wireless charging technology that could revolutionize how we power everything from autonomous robots and drones to, perhaps one day, electric vehicles. Imagine a device no larger than your smart phone, capable of contactless charging with a gap of up to 5.5 cm. Xnergy, a Singapore-based company, has developed the Phoenix, a cutting-edge innovation that's making waves in the wireless charging industry.

Prepare to be awed by the thought-provoking and humorous conversation between well-known author Richard Dawkins and an AI. Dawkins challenges whether AI could ever truly be conscious, prompting some serious thoughts about how human experiences differ from artificial intelligence. Can AI truly have consciousness?

Holography is no longer confined to sci-fi movies. Real-life applications are already creeping into our daily lives. Medical holograms are used in surgeries, augmented reality (AR) headsets like the Microsoft HoloLens bring interactive holograms into the workplace, and entertainment is slowly catching up with 3D projections at concerts and exhibits. But we’re still far from seeing a Star Wars-style communication system where you can chat face-to-face with a friend through a floating 3D image.

Researchers and universities, including Harvard University’s Motion Analysis Lab, Stanford University, and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), are making significant strides in sensory prosthetics, aiming to create more natural, lifelike prosthetic limbs that can detect pressure, texture, and temperature, sending that information to the brain to mimic natural touch. These advancements are made possible through the development of neuroprosthetics and advanced sensors.
