As technology is evolving work/life balance is becoming more stressful. Neuroscientists and technology professionals are working together with AI to make bots that act as individual counsellors, guides or coaches to help with mental health. They can start by asking questions like, "How are you feeling?" or "What's bothering you?"
Navigating large private and indoor spaces - like sporting complexes and shopping malls - is challenging for most people.Imagine how much harder it is for people with vision impairment and cognitive difficulties!Using Bluetooth beacons and smartphone sensors, plus sophisticated mapping, BindiMaps starts where GoogleMaps finishes.

Bin-e, invented by a Polish company for public spaces (think your local food court), uses artificial intelligence-based object recognition to automatically sort recyclables (glass, paper, plastic and metal) into separate compartments. After sorting, the machine compresses the paper/plastic waste, monitors how full each compartment is and sends an alert when a pick-up is needed so you are not wasting time, money & fuel on partial pick-ups.https://www.bine.world
In a world first, US software company DoNotPay’s ‘robot lawyer’ will be appearing in a US Court representing a client charged with traffic offences. Using machine learning to match text and voice recognition, combined with data sets from US legislation and case law, the robot will be able to formulate legal advice to the client in real time. The robot won’t address the court directly, rather it will be accessible via the client’s smartphone, listening to the judge and prosecution and providing advice via headphones.
