Next week professional services firm Accenture will be launching a new tool to help its customers identify and fix unfair bias in AI algorithms. The idea is to catch discrimination before it gets baked into models and can cause human damage at scale. The "AI fairness tool", as it's being described, is one piece of a wider package the consultancy firm has recently started offering its customers around transparency and ethics for machine learning deployments -- while still pushing businesses to adopt and deploy AI. (So the intent, at least, can be summed up as: 'Move fast and don't break things'. "Most of last year was spent… understanding this realm of ethics and AI and really educating ourselves, and I feel that 2018 has really become the year of doing -- the year of moving beyond virtue signaling. And moving into actual creation and development," says Rumman Chowdhury, Accenture's responsible AI lead -- who joined the company when the role was created, in January 2017.

Google has chosen India as a major battleground to take on rivals Amazon and Microsoft in its bid to dominate cloud computing services, said Rick Harshman, MD-Asia Pacific for Google Cloud, in an interview. He said the company had made big strides in the country in terms of enterprises adopting its technologies such as cloud services, security, artificial intelligence and machine learning. How are Indian enterprises adopting your technologies, especially cloud and artificial intelligence? How large is the opportunity? Globally... only about 5%-10% of all workloads in IT run on the cloud. I think the estimates are quite conservative.

If communication is measurable in terms of number of words, we are the greatest communicators in the history of our species. There's the rub, says President magazine. Listening is the hard part. It's harder than talking -- in part, writes Toshiyuki Goda of the NHK Broadcast Research Center in his contribution to President's feature on "listening ability," because, as speakers, we can keep the dialogue within our comfort zone, while listening may take us outside it -- into the realm of our own ignorance, which is uncomfortable enough; or, worse, into that of the awkward silence. The on-air broadcaster is particularly sensitive to the latter, but it bedevils all social intercourse.

TOKYO, JAPAN – April 3, 2018 – Nippon Television Network Corporation (Nippon TV), the leading commercial broadcaster network and production powerhouse in Japan, is welcoming anchor Erica Aoi as its first android employee. Aoi is scheduled to make her grand appearance live on the daily show "PON!" this Thursday, April 5, 2018. The announcement was made today by Hiroyuki Fukuda, Operating Officer and President of the Programming Division, Nippon TV. Erica (ERato Intelligent Conversational Android) Aoi (a combination of AI for artificial intelligence and Ø from "NIPPØN TV," the corporate logo of Nippon TV) was borne out of the first project between Osaka University, Kyoto University, and the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International's Japan Science and Technology Agency Strategic Basic Research Programs. Their goal was to develop an autonomous robot that can live symbiotically with humans.

Google today released guidelines for the creation of artificial intelligence, which includes a ban on making autonomous weaponry and most applications of AI with the potential to harm people. The guidelines emerge just days after Google announced it would not renew its contract with the U.S. Department of Defense to analyze drone footage. As a self-described AI-first company, proprietor of popular open source frameworks like Kaggle and TensorFlow, and employer of prominent researchers, Google is one of the most influential companies in AI. "We want to be clear that while we are not developing AI for use in weapons, we will continue our work with governments and the military in many other areas. These include cybersecurity, training, military recruitment, veterans' healthcare, and search and rescue," CEO Sundar Pichai said in a blog post. In the post, Pichai spells out the principles that should be considered when creating AI, as well as applications of AI that Google will not pursue.

Mr. Musk's fears of A.I., distilled to their essence, were simple: If we create machines that are smarter than humans, they could turn against us. Let's for once, he was saying to the rest of the tech industry, consider the unintended consequences of what we are creating before we unleash it on the world. Neither Mr. Musk nor Mr. Zuckerberg would talk in detail about the dinner, which has not been reported before, or their long-running A.I. debate. The creation of "superintelligence" -- the name for the supersmart technological breakthrough that takes A.I. to the next level and creates machines that not only perform narrow tasks that typically require human intelligence (like self-driving cars) but can actually outthink humans -- still feels like science fiction. But the fight over the future of A.I. has spread across the tech industry.

From Software could show as many as 3 different video games off at E3 this year. Dark Souls and Bloodborne developer From Software could show off as many as three different video games at E3 this year. That's a lot for a studio of that size, but there have been a number of teases and rumors and leaks and three seems like the right number (though it's possible some of the developer's upcoming games will be announced later in the year at the Tokyo Game Show or PlayStation Experience.) Now let's take a look at these potential From Software titles. Will Metal Wolf Chaos be at E3? Devolver had tweeted at From Software previously about the game, so it's no huge surprise to see this latest tease.

When people see machines that respond like humans, or computers that perform feats of strategy and cognition mimicking human ingenuity, they sometimes joke about a future in which humanity will need to accept robot overlords. But buried in the joke is a seed of unease. Science-fiction writing and popular movies, from "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) to "Avengers: Age of Ultron" (2015), have speculated about artificial intelligence (AI) that exceeds the expectations of its creators and escapes their control, eventually outcompeting and enslaving humans or targeting them for extinction. Conflict between humans and AI is front and center in AMC's sci-fi series "Humans," which returned for its third season on Tuesday (June 5). In the new episodes, conscious synthetic humans face hostile people who treat them with suspicion, fear and hatred.

It sounds like a simple phone call… but it's anything but. An assistant calls a hair salon to schedule an appointment. After a bit of back and forth with the person at the salon, a time is decided on and an appointment is made. It's a transaction that happens every single day. Crypto expert Tama Churchouse just released an update to his crypto market predictions.
