Gautam Shah had spent 20 years working in IT—and his whole life caring about nature. He saw advances in conservation that got mentioned only in science journals, “but the story lines within that data are amazing； they're fascinating," Shah says. “They're absolutely things that can engage an audience. "
Eager to use his techie skills for wildlife conservation, Shah—a National Geographic explorer-founded a game company called Internet of Elephants in 2016. The Kenya-based start-up designs digital experiences to tell real conservation stories based on real data. One example： Wildeverse, an improved reality mobile app like Pokemon Go, launched in April 2020. In the game, players can "trackapes （类人 猿）by collecting environmental samples such as fruit and animal waste. Rather than putting lots of high-tech tricks in a game, Shah says, the company prioritizes （优先） telling an interesting, true story through whatever technology is best suited to it.
Shah believes that gaming has a unique ability to connect audiences with wildlife in a deep- personal way that will show much concern and advocacy. His goal is for Internet of Elephants to reach more than 50 million people by 2027.
Hopefully, he says, “we can create an entire industry where creating games and these types of digital experiences about wildlife conservation becomes as common things as creating a wildlife documentary.

For many white-collar workers around the world, the recent pandemic has meant having to work from home. Their usual office location has been out of bounds. This means different working practices, which have advantages and disadvantages for employees. But the big question is, “Will they ever see their offices again?
Home working has macle people realize what tasks they can perform at home, rather than enduring a commute to the office to do the same thing. It has given them more time with the family； they've been sleeping better and have saved money by not travelling or buying lunches on the go. And recent research suggests the majority of people working from home are just as productive.
For some people, this could be a permanent arrangement. In the UK, fifty of the biggest employers questioned by BBC, have said they have no plans to return all staff to the office full-time in the near future. Of course, one main reason is that firms couldn't see a way of accommodating large numbers of staff while social distancing regulations were still in place. But BBC also heard from some smaller businesses who are deciding to abandon their offices altogether. Other bigger companies are also looking at shutting offices to save money as many jobs can be performed remotely. Peter Cheese, head of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, told BBC： "We re at a moment of real change in the world of work, driven by big existential crises.

But this isn't great news for everyone. Some employees can feel isolated at home, and there's less opportunity to network or learn from other people, especially if they're a new recruit.

The future is still uncertain, which is why it may be too early to say where our desks will be permanently located. But the office of the future may be your home. 28.

A US government study has found that facial recognition technology is getting better at identifying people wearing masks. The study is part of an ongoing research by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology （NIST）. The agency has examined the effectiveness of more than 150 facial recognition systems on people wearing face coverings. The systems are powered by machine learning algorithms （算 法）.
The first results of the study were announced in July, as health officials across the world urged people to wear masks to limit the spread of COVID-19. New findings were released this week. Police agencies have long used facial

recognition technology to search for and help catch criminals. It can also be used to unlock phones or other electronic devices. Some robots use facial recognition technology to recognize the people they are communicating with. However, the wide use of masks in public has created major difficulties for such systems.
The study looked at facial recognition systems already in use before the pandemic. It also looked at systems specially developed to work on masked faces. The NIST said it processed a total of million images for the experiment. People in the images were not actually wearin
