NEW YORK -- Ding dong, there's a robot at your door and it's got your extra large pizza. This could be a future Saturday night scenario if Domino's Australia gets its way.

Machine Learning: What does it mean for SEO?

#artificialintelligence

The internet, and more importantly how we consume data from the web, has evolved at an incredible pace in recent years. One thing that has been steadily growing, and is only now really starting to make the headlines is Machine Learning. "Artificial intelligence would be the ultimate version of Google. The ultimate search engine that would understand everything on the Web. It would understand exactly what you wanted, and it would give you the right thing. However, we can get incrementally closer to that, and that is basically what we work on."


Shadow of the smart machine: Will machine learning end?

#artificialintelligence

We will teach machines to learn. But what will be the consequences of them taking an increasing role in teaching? Sam Smith argues that the growing use of machine learning in teaching and marking students' work, risks undervaluing and losing the unquantifiable skills that drive diversity, creativity and innovation. It was a 19th century folly that there was a hierarchy of progress - a canard that placed the aboriginal societies of Australia at the bottom, and the Strand in London at the peak. History may not repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes.


Domino's pizza robot is giving tech a bad name

#artificialintelligence

Domino's seems to be trying to master the sneaky tech move. It has deployed an attention-getting, flashy toy that, truth be told, has very little to do with technology and everything to do with making consumers curious enough to order its less-than-delectable pizzas. We've talked about it with its oven cars, a huge fake button that is supposed to be about ordering but really isn't and a social media purchasing campaign that was tricky marketing at its best. I know that, because I think we all should order good-tasting pizzas from local pizzerias, I shouldn't help promote these efforts. But Domino's appears to know how to get to me: It is now using an R2D2-like robot to deliver pizzas.


Darktrace Industry Veteran Calls Machine Learning 'Critical' to Detect Tomorrow's Threats

#artificialintelligence

Darktrace, the leader in Enterprise Immune System technology, presented a radical vision of cyber defense at InfoSec World 2016, Orlando, yesterday, where'immune system'-inspired technology can automatically find and respond to evolving cyber-threats. IT Security Architect at Steelcase, Stuart Berman, joined Sean O'Connor, Director at Darktrace on the conference stage as a guest speaker, to discuss how enterprises can tackle the cyber security challenges of tomorrow. As one of the world's leading manufacturers of corporate office environments, Steelcase is known for embracing new technology and innovation, and was quick to recognize the importance of adopting new models of security. Speaking at the InfoSec World Conference in Florida yesterday, Stuart Berman, who has over 20 years' experience in information security, shared his views on the future of cyber defense. "Math and machine learning are an important part of advanced threat defense, in the context of today's fast-moving, distributed work environments," Berman commented.


Facebook accessibility: AI is writing photo captions for blind users (Wired UK)

#artificialintelligence

The AI is part of the social network's alternative text project (alt text for short) and will be used to add captions to any photos posted on News Feeds. Facebook counts 39 million blind and 246 million visually impaired users who, if they are using iOS with a screen reader, will hear a list of items a photograph may contain as they swipe past them, the company announced in a blog post. Previously they would hear the word'photo' but not be receive a description of it. The team behind the code have been working on it for more than ten months. A computer vision platform allows a visual recognition engine to scan images and understand what is in them, from objects to scenes and even specific places.


Is this the future of work? Scientists predict which jobs will still be open to humans in 2035

#artificialintelligence

Workers looking for jobs in 2035 might consider retraining as remote-controlled vehicle operators or online chaperones. Those are two of the jobs of the future suggested in a report by the CSIRO that charts 20-year trends in increasingly digitally focused and automated Australian workplaces. Related: Automation may mean a post-work society but we shouldn't be afraid The employment minister, Michaelia Cash, released the report on Friday at the Australian Computer Society's conference. Cash said the report showed "some jobs will inevitably become automated over the coming years but technological change will improve others and also create new jobs and opportunities". "The future won't be about people competing with machines, it will be about people using machines and doing work that is more interesting and fulfilling," she said.


Facebook makes blind users' experience more enjoyable using Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Facebook has recently made it easier for blind users to share the same experience as the rest of the community of Facebook users by filling in the Photo Blanks. Facebook introduced on Monday April 6, 2016 an automated alt text which is a new tool that helps blind users to visualize the images as they scroll up and down. "There seems to be a general movement towards making technology more accessible. I think people are recognizing the great opportunities. There are close to 250 million people around the world with visual impairments and almost 40 million who are actually blind," Susan Schreiner, an analyst at C4 Trends said for TechNewsWorld.
