When men and women collaborate to solve a problem—say, in a meeting—women speak at least 25 percent less than men do. 

That’s why a team at BBC’s 100 Women Challenge developed an app called All.ai to help women boost themselves at work—and to help everyone else quiet down and listen. The iOS and Android app isn’t available to download quite yet, but should be coming to the App Store soon. 

“Meetings are an important place to have your ideas be heard,” said Rumman Chowdhury, an artificial intelligence specialist at Accenture who helped develop the app. “Women in meetings are often overlooked or ignored or interrupted. In some situations men will get the credit. We wanted to disrupt how meetings are handled.”  Read more…

Apple’s secretive automotive project has flown under the radar over the past several months after news leaked that the company was granted permission to test a self-driving car platform and entered the race to develop autonomous cars — but that doesn’t mean that the cars stopped roving the roads to gather data. 

A keen-eyed observer, MacAllister Higgins, spotted what he believes to be the latest version of Apple’s self-driving rig out in the wild and posted a video to Twitter, first reported by The Verge. He said the car, which you can’t quite make out in the video, was a Lexus SUV — the same type of vehicle Apple is approved to use for tests on public roads, one of which was thought to have been spotted back in April.  Read more…

Despite being a medium often defined by “fun,” video games are notoriously bad at being funny.

Granted, there are plenty of exceptions to the rule, with their numbers growing every year. But the team behind the newly released South Park: Fractured But Whole set out to push the boundaries of humor in games in the same way the show set out to push every conceivable boundary in animated comedy when we were first introduced to it.

In games, many point to classics like Monkey Island and the crass Conker’s Bad Fur Day as the height of comedy in games.
