[ad_1] A framework for using the AI is now ready for an “internal preview” at SRL. It’s not in use in the field just yet, then, but that’s considerably better than other AI cancer screening methods that typically don’t exist as more than experiments. There’s an incentive to put this into use quickly. TechCrunch noted […]

OpenAI published the tool that writes disturbingly believable fake news
[ad_1] The AI, GPT-2, was originally designed to answer questions, summarize stories and translate texts. But researchers came to fear that it could be used to pump out large volumes of misinformation. Instead, we mostly just saw it used for things like training text adventure games and writing stories about unicorns. Because the scaled back […]
NVIDIA’s AI will help USPS handle packages 10 times faster
[ad_1] For months, engineering teams from USPS and NVIDIA have been developing the AI models, which will help USPS read address labels more quickly and effectively. The system starts with high-performance servers powered by NVIDIA V100 Tensor Core GPUs and deep learning software, which train multiple algorithms. The trained models are then deployed to NVIDIA […]
NVIDIA’s RTX GPUs give a speed boost to Adobe’s AI features
[ad_1] As it does with games, RTX GPUs will also allow Adobe Dimension users to speed up rendering of 3D environments (an example is shown above) that use dynamic lighting, reflections and soft shadows. “We’re also adding interactive ray tracing that will enable artists to render fantastic 3D photorealistic scenes that take their environments to […]
Pentagon’s draft AI ethics guidelines fight bias and rogue machines
[ad_1] The draft demands equitable AI that avoids “unintended bias” in algorithms, such as racism or sexism. AI could lead to people being treated “unfairly,” the board said, even if they’re not necessarily in life-and-death situations. The board called on the military to ensure that its data sources were neutral, not just the code itself. […]
DeepMind AI now keeps up with ‘StarCraft II’ Grandmasters
[ad_1] AI in reinforcement training is normally set to maximize its chances of winning, but that doesn’t necessarily make for strong training. The software may only learn to excel in a narrow set of conditions and leave itself open to exploits. Much like human experts, DeepMind’s new approach has one of the AIs focus on […]
Facebook AI can ‘hide’ people from facial recognition
[ad_1] The AI doesn’t need to be retrained for different people or videos, and produces only a “little” time distortion. Don’t expect this to reach Facebook in the near future. A spokesperson told VentureBeat that there were no plans to implement the research in its products. With that said, some of the practical applications are […]
Recommended Reading: How memes became political weapons
[ad_1] How memes got weaponized: A short historyJoan Donovan,MIT Technology Review Memes are entertaining, but they’ve also become key weapons in politics and the spread of misinformation. This piece starts with just one of many insane stories: “In October 2016, a friend of mine learned that one of his wedding photos had made its way […]
Google researchers taught an AI to recognize smells
[ad_1] The researchers created a data set of nearly 5,000 molecules identified by perfumers, who labeled the molecules with descriptions ranging from “buttery” to “tropical” and “weedy.” The team used about two-thirds of the data set to train its AI (a graph neural network or GNN) to associate molecules with the descriptors they often receive. […]
AI can help doctors spot brain hemorrhages faster
[ad_1] The process relied on a convolutional neural network that pored over 4,396 CT scans. That’s a comparatively small number of samples, but the abnormalities were detailed “at the pixel level,” according to UCSF. In other words, they were far less likely to misinterpret noise and other errors as hemorrhages. The technique also had the […]
