Speaking at the conference, Jack Ma, the CEO of China's number one tech company Alibaba, said that within the next few decades, Big Data will be able to revive the panned economy which will become highly efficient. He added that despite the widespread notion of the past century about the omnipotence of the free market's so-called "invisible hand" of market mechanisms regulating the entire system and planned economy's alleged inability to efficiently distribute resources, in the next 30 years, state-run economy could play an increasingly important role. This opinion was fully echoed by Professor Feng Xiang, who believes that AI and Big Data must not be allowed to end up in private hands. He warned that if artificial intelligence falls under the control of market forces, this could lead to the emergence of Big Data oligopolies where new oligarchs will snap up the entire material wealth created by robots, while people will lose their jobs and will end up as social outsiders. Not so under a planned economy or the Chinese model of socialist market economy, which ensure a fair distribution of both resources and the added value among all people.

China has made known its desire to become an AI powerhouse. Russia's Vladimir Putin last year equated AI dominance with ruling the world. On Thursday, the White House, a little late to the great game, hosted a meeting involving representatives from about 40 companies, including Facebook Inc. and Google Inc. as well as Ford Motor Co. and Walmart Inc., to discuss how the U.S. could maintain its lead in AI. The gathering followed a template for meetings of this type: Support was offered, 'atta-boys' were distributed. Still, the meeting acknowledged that AI, increasingly, has become tied to something larger.

This comes from Boston Dynamics, the same firm that's building the "robot dog" that's an obvious precursor to the killer mecha-Cujos from that "Black Mirror" episode. As you'll see below, they're still working on improving those too. The things can now navigate autonomously, including stairs. I wonder how many time-travelers from the future this company has already had to quietly kill to prevent them from sabotaging its work. No, actually, I think this story will end happily when the Pentagon buys a fleet of Cujos, outfits them with flamethrowers, and turns them loose on an ISIS compound in Syria.

Thursday, May 10, 2018, Baltimore, MD - Insilico Medicine, a Baltimore-based next-generation artificial intelligence company specializing in the application of deep learning for target identification, drug discovery and aging research announces the publication of a new research paper in Molecular Pharmaceutics journal titled "Adversarial Threshold Neural Computer for Molecular De Novo Design". The described Adversarial Threshold Neural Computer (ATNC) model based on the combination of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) with Reinforcement Learning (RL) is intended for the design of novel small organic molecules with the desired set of pharmacological properties. "This is a proof of concept scratching the surface of what we have in house. Stay tuned for the cool experimental validation results to be announced this Summer. I hope that part of this work integrated into our pipeline will help make the world a better and healthier place and help make perfect molecules for specific targets and multiple targets that will have a much higher chance of becoming great drugs", said Evgeny Putin, the deep learning lead at Insilico Medicine. The architecture of GANs was initially proposed by Ian Goodfellow in 2015, and since the inception, the GAN-based models have achieved the unprecedented accuracy in image, video and text generation.

Business people, not to mention the public on a global basis, are getting increasingly excited, as well as concerned, about the potential of artificial intelligence (A.I.)--so much so that China's growing involvement in A.I., and the vast quantity of data that China is capable of generating on a daily basis, has many wondering if the U.S. will be a leader or follower in this important technology category as the future unfolds. Data is the fuel that feeds A.I. The more data you have, the more A.I. can learn and adapt. Most feel it's all about the quantity of data. I have been sharing both in my international speeches and consulting that data quantity is good but not if the quality is bad, and this concern should be forthright for anyone involved in A.I.

While Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are famously known to be Turing complete, this relies on infinite precision in the states and unbounded computation time. We consider the case of RNNs with finite precision whose computation time is linear in the input length. Under these limitations, we show that different RNN variants have different computational power. In particular, we show that the LSTM and the Elman-RNN with ReLU activation are strictly stronger than the RNN with a squashing activation and the GRU. This is achieved because LSTMs and ReLU-RNNs can easily implement counting behavior. We show empirically that the LSTM does indeed learn to effectively use the counting mechanism.

Physicists use differential equations to describe the physical dynamical world, and the solutions of these equations constitute our understanding of the world. During the hundreds of years, scientists developed several ways to solve these equations, i.e., the analytical solutions and the numerical solutions. However, for some complex equations, there may be no analytical solutions, and the numerical solutions may encounter the curse of the extreme computational cost if the accuracy is the first consideration. Solving equations is a high-level human intelligence work and a crucial step towards general artificial intelligence (AI), where deep reinforcement learning (DRL) may contribute. This work makes the first attempt of applying (DRL) to solve nonlinear differential equations both in discretized and continuous format with the governing equations (physical laws) embedded in the DRL network, including ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs). The DRL network consists of an actor that outputs solution approximations policy and a critic that outputs the critic of the actor's output solution. Deterministic policy network is employed as the actor, and governing equations are embedded in the critic. The effectiveness of the DRL solver in Schr\"odinger equation, Navier-Stocks, Van der Pol equation, Burgers' equation and the equation of motion are discussed.

SINGAPORE, 22 February 2017 -- In our increasingly digital world, new and emerging innovations are set to disrupt the way people live, work and play. According to youth across the Asia Pacific region, the most exciting technologies expected to have the largest impact on their future lives will be artificial intelligence (AI), virtual/mixed/augmented reality (VR/MR/AR), and Internet of Things (IoT), based on survey findings released today by Microsoft. In the Microsoft Asia Digital Future Survey, 1,400 youth were polled across 14 markets across the Asia Pacific region, comprising Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Artificial intelligence (AI) is ranked as the top technology that youth expect to have the biggest impact on their lives. In recent years, the confluence of power devices, cloud and data has enabled bold visions on how AI can be an integrated part of our digital future.
