[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 […]
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 […]
Amazon joins Facebook’s fight against deepfakes
[ad_1] The Challenge will also add two professors, the Technical University of Munich’s Laura Leal-Taixé and the University of Naples Federico II’s Luisa Verdoliva, as academic advisors. At the same time, Facebook is giving researchers some of the samples they need to help spot deepfakes. It’s releasing the first 5,000 example videos out of the […]
Arca will use AI to soundtrack NYC’s Museum of Modern Art
[ad_1] If you pay a visit to New York City’s Museum of Modern Art in the near future, you’ll be awash in artificial intelligence before you’ve even seen an exhibit. Electronic musician Arca (who has produced for Bjork and FKA Twigs) has announced that a piece she wrote using Bronze’s AI creative tool will provide […]
Here’s how Alexa learned to speak Spanish without your help
[ad_1] The first tool studies a handful of “golden utterances” (that is, reference commands suggested by the developers) to learn general syntax and semantics patterns. After that, it produces “rewrite expressions” that themselves create thousands of new yet similar sentences to work from. The system works quickly — you could move from 50 utterances to […]
Your AirPods are going to die
[ad_1] Everyone’s AirPods will die. We’ve got the trick to replacing them.Geoffrey A. Fowler,The Washington Post If you hopped on the AirPod bandwagon early, your earbuds are likely near the end of their life. The Washington Post details what happens when your true wireless audio accessory stops working, including the fact that “battery service” really […]
Intel wants to use AI to reconnect damaged spinal nerves
[ad_1] The initial interface will use external computing hardware to interpret spine signals. In the long term, the collaborators would like a wholly implanted system to make the connection. This is something of a moonshot, and there’s no guarantee the project will end with a surefire solution for paralysis. It should still be useful even […]
