Supporting customers through this winter and identifying emerging vulnerabilities are among the key themes at the Utility Week Forum, which will take place in London on 8-9 November.Ultimately, how can the sector harness the same autonomous and semi-autonomous technology already in train in other industries to meet tomorrow’s targets, and what collaborative innovation has already taken place? Greater reliance on AI and robots is also on the utilities sector’s horizon as the drive for renewable energy and decarbonisation forces industry players to innovate in hostile offshore and underground settings, for example, and hastens machine intervention to maintain and measure the performance of hard-to-reach assets. YouGov also found that two-thirds (66%) of Brits would be happy for a robot or AI to administer some form of medical treatment – with a quarter claiming they’d trust AI in an urgent or intensive care scenario, while 37% would go under the robot-wielded knife in AI-assisted surgery. According to YouGov research, almost one-in-ten (7%) Brits believe that today’s robots have already developed higher intelligence levels than humans – with 44% believing they will surpass our intellect in the not-too-distant future.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG For action/peril.The rise of the machines is well underway. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? Probably, especially if they're fans of the "Toy Story" movies. Alisha, clumsy Mo Morrison (voice of TAIKA WAITITI), and older felon on probation Darby Steel (voice of DALE SOULES) then try to help Buzz, all as they must contend with Emperor Zurg (voice of JAMES BROLIN) who wants Buzz's power source for himself. But when he returns, and with a greater amount of time having passed, he meets Alisha's now-adult granddaughter, Izzy (voice of KEKE PALMER), and learns that the colony is under constant attack by robots known as the Zurg. Upon Buzz's next return flight, Commander Burnside (voice of ISIAH WHITLOCK JR.) pulls the plug on the project, causing the space ranger to steal the test spacecraft and try again. To help him cope with his guilt over the issue, Alisha gives him Sox (voice of PETER SOHN), a feline emotional support robot who ultimately helps him come up with a new formula for the energy source. It turns out to feature hostile bugs and plant life, and while trying to escape, Buzz accidentally hits a cliff with their large ship, damaging their fuel supply and stranding them and the rest of the crew there.Ī new fuel supply is created, but with each test flight of that, Buzz returns having aged only a few hours, while years have passed for everyone on the planet. QUICK TAKE: Computer Animated Action/Adventure: A space ranger tries to fix a problem he accidentally created, but must contend with robots and their leader who want his space travel power source.īuzz Lightyear (voice of CHRIS EVANS) is a space ranger and he and his work partner, Alisha Hawthorne (voice of UZO ADUBA), are deployed to a newly discovered planet to investigate.
