The package company and its partner, CVS, have completed the first commercial medical drone delivery in the US. Using a M2 drone, the prescriptions were lowered down to two separate destinations via a cable while the unmanned aerial vehicle hovered 20 feet above each home. UPS and CVS, have completed the first commercial medical drone delivery in the US. The milestone is a result of UPS becoming the first drone delivery service to receive full approval from the Federal Aviation Administration. UPS and CVS carried out two flights on Friday, November 1st – both dropped off prescriptions to paying customers in Cary, North Carolina.

I've encountered a lot of artificial intelligences, both the ones I've trained for my blog AI Weirdness, and the ones I've written about for my book on artificial intelligence, You Look Like a Thing and I Love You: How AI Works and Why it's Making the World a Weirder Place. I focus on the machine learning algorithms that exist today, the ones that sort spam, tag photos, and drive cars. We call them AI, but they're as different from the AI of science fiction as a toaster is from a person. In the book, I spend a lot of time explaining why today's AIs, with their tiny worm brains, don't understand their tasks or the human world. They won't be taking over from people, but they also won't be saving us by questioning bad orders.

This article was submitted in response to the call for ideas issued by the co-chairs of the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, Eric Schmidt and Robert Work. It responds to question 3 (parts a. and b.), which asks what types of AI research the national security community should focus on how the government, academia, and the private sector should work together, and what type of infrastructure the United States needs. The U.S. Army tank brigade was once again fighting in the Middle East. Its tanks were recently equipped with a computer vision-based targeting system that employed remotely controlled drones as scouts. Unfortunately, adversary forces deceived the vision system into thinking grenade flashes were actually cannon fire.

Paris, October 02, 2019 – Capgemini has developed an intelligent data platform called Project FARM (Financial and Agricultural Recommendation Models), which is designed to optimize the agricultural value chain and bolster global food supply. The platform uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to determine farming patterns through big data, generating insights from the data to make recommendations. It uses Machine Learning to make the platform applicable at scale by connecting it with cell phones. This solution has been built in collaboration with Agrics, a social enterprise operating in East Africa, which provides local farmers with agricultural products and services on credit. Global demand for food is anticipated to increase by 60% by 2050[1].

Radio-frequency dosimetry is an important process in human safety and for compliance of related products. Recently, computational human models generated from medical images have often been used for such assessment, especially to consider the inter-variability of subjects. However, the common procedure to develop personalized models is time consuming because it involves excessive segmentation of several components that represent different biological tissues, which limits the inter-variability assessment of radiation safety based on personalized dosimetry. Deep learning methods have been shown to be a powerful approach for pattern recognition and signal analysis. Convolutional neural networks with deep architecture are proven robust for feature extraction and image mapping in several biomedical applications. In this study, we develop a learning-based approach for fast and accurate estimation of the dielectric properties and density of tissues directly from magnetic resonance images in a single shot. The smooth distribution of the dielectric properties in head models, which is realized using a process without tissue segmentation, improves the smoothness of the specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution compared with that in the commonly used procedure. The estimated SAR distributions, as well as that averaged over 10-g of tissue in a cubic shape, are found to be highly consistent with those computed using the conventional methods that employ segmentation.

Traditional first-order logic (FOL) reasoning systems usually rely on manual heuristics for proof guidance. We propose TRAIL: a system that learns to perform proof guidance using reinforcement learning. A key design principle of our system is that it is general enough to allow transfer to problems in different domains that do not share the same vocabulary of the training set. To do so, we developed a novel representation of the internal state of a prover in terms of clauses and inference actions, and a novel neural-based attention mechanism to learn interactions between clauses. We demonstrate that this approach enables the system to generalize from training to test data across domains with different vocabularies, suggesting that the neural architecture in TRAIL is well suited for representing and processing of logical formalisms.

Human communication often involves the use of verbal irony or sarcasm, where the speakers usually mean the opposite of what they say. To better understand how verbal irony is expressed by the speaker and interpreted by the hearer we conduct a crowdsourcing task: given an utterance expressing verbal irony, users are asked to verbalize their interpretation of the speaker's ironic message. We propose a typology of linguistic strategies for verbal irony interpretation and link it to various theoretical linguistic frameworks. We design computational models to capture these strategies and present empirical studies aimed to answer three questions: (1) what is the distribution of linguistic strategies used by hearers to interpret ironic messages?; (2) do hearers adopt similar strategies for interpreting the speaker's ironic intent?; and (3) does the type of semantic incongruity in the ironic message (explicit vs. implicit) influence the choice of interpretation strategies by the hearers?

In September 2018, I got the opportunity to attend the Deep Learning Indaba conference that was held in Stellenbosch University, South Africa. Deep Learning Indaba was formed with an aim to strengthen African Machine Learning as well as to increase African participation and contribution to the advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, and address issues of diversity in these fields of science. One of the lectures that I really enjoyed was on Success Stories of Reinforcement Learning where we got introduced to reinforcement learning as well as how it was used to build some pretty awesome computer programs. This lecture was presented by David Silver. Professor David Silver Leads the reinforcement learning research group at DeepMind which is an AI company based in London that was acquired by Google in 2014.

The graph represents a network of 2,908 Twitter users whose tweets in the requested range contained "InsurTech", or who were replied to or mentioned in those tweets. The network was obtained from the NodeXL Graph Server on Saturday, 02 November 2019 at 04:50 UTC. The requested start date was Friday, 01 November 2019 at 00:01 UTC and the maximum number of tweets (going backward in time) was 5,000.
