Fake news is officially allowed one day of the year: April 1 – April Fool’s Day. Western tech firms are known to have fun with it, especially search giant Google which this year adopted a “Where’s Waldo?” gag for Google Maps users. Tencent Holdings said it would open a goose farm this year with plans to add penguins and swans in the future. The farm will be equipped with goose face recognition technology which can improve feeding efficiency. Baidu, China’s largest search engine and a leader in artificial intelligence, announced it would apply facial recognition technology to animals, starting with dogs.
