A Google artificial intelligence program has beaten the European champion of the board game Go.
The Chinese game is viewed as a much tougher challenge than chess for computers because there are many more ways a Go match can play out. The tech company's DeepMind division said its software had beaten its human rival five games to nil. One independent expert called it a breakthrough for AI with potentially far-reaching consequences.
Google's secretive drone delivery project could include a component designed to store packages securely. A patent filed this week describes a 'delivery receptacle 'designed to take packages from an 'aerial delivery device' for deposit to a secure location. The receptacle would use infrared beacons to connect with drones in the air and then guide them for delivery.
