Heroes of Mobile is going on Tour and heading Stateside! As part of the trip, we'll be in New York on the morning of 5 May to talk about Artificial Intelligence and discuss when our smartphones will be smarter than us. Hear James Tagg explain his vision of mobile AI (Artificial Intelligence) and what we can expect from our mobile devices in five year's time or even fifty. Expect a romp through the short-term practical things we will see our mobiles do, through to some future-gazing speculation fro one of the most inventive minds in the mobile business. There will be a chance to ask questions and time for networking.

This event is free to attend. Venue details coming soon but it will be held in a central location in NYC.

Alan Turing invented the computer, helped win World War II and left us with one of the greatest puzzles of our time - the imitation game. Can computers do everything a human mind can do? The book charts a journey through the science of information, from the origins of language and logic to the frontiers of modern physics. From Lewis Carroll's logic puzzles, through Alan Turing and his work on Enigma, to John Bell's inequality and finally, the Conway-Kochen 'Free Will' Theorem. How do the laws of physics give us our creativity, our rich experience of communication and, especially, our free will?
 
The book is available on Amazon and iTunes now.

Download your Spotify playlist by mistake? It doesnt matter. Because our network is global, there won't be roaming costs. Instead, there's one world plan to cover whichever country you're in, one SIM that never needs swapping. And wherever you go, you get the same quality coverage as home, with the same customer support. With Truphone, you'll be roaming free.
