Deep Learning: A 'Type' of AI? Oneirix Labs

#artificialintelligence

Some are'based on machine learning'. Other'types of AI' exist as well. But terms like'AI' and'deep learning' can mean different things to different people. What do these terms mean, and how are they related to each other? Most sources that clarify the definitions of these two terms (AI and deep learning) explain that deep learning is a subset of AI -- a special kind or flavor of AI, if you will. A Venn diagram representation of these interpretations is not uncommon.


Chatbot Identification Now Law in California and Expected to Spread - The Chatbot

#artificialintelligence

A clampdown on video face recognition systems is spreading around major cities, as politicians police and others continue to argue its merits. Meanwhile, a tightening of rules on other AI and smart technologies is on the way. Chatbots are the latest to feel the effect with a Californian law banning bots that fail to identify themselves as such. When any new technology arrives, there are people who want pragmatic laws to protect users and bystanders – think the red flags that had to be waved in front of early cars. There are also crazy laws passed to try and protect vested interests or big business. Look at all the roadblocks thrown in front of solar power and electric cars to keep big oil happy.


If You Want a Robot to Learn Better, Be a Jerk to It

#artificialintelligence

In what will go down as one of the greatest robotics experiments ever, a few years back researchers in Japan let a robot loose in a mall and watched how kids reacted. Far from the sense of wonder you might expect from children, the mood soured into a sense of concern for the next generation, as the kids proceeded to kick and punch the robot and call it names. But maybe the kids were on to something--maybe we should be challenging the robots, albeit in more constructive ways, instead of always holding their hands as they learn to navigate our world. To that end, researchers at the University of Southern California have shown that when working in a simulation, you can give robots "tough love" by trying to knock objects out of their hands, and it'll actually help them better learn to grasp objects. The experiment took place entirely in simulation, as so much robot training does these days.


Will robots take your job before you even graduate?

#artificialintelligence

With each passing year, parents are getting more worried about how their children will fare once it's time to take that step from school to the workforce. They have good reason to fret. Some 17 million Americans under age 30--about one third of the under-30 population--are saddled with student debt. Many are worried about their career prospects despite having invested--heavily, in some cases--in education. The cost of college is being hotly debated.


The AI Organization Releases New Book: Artificial Intelligence, Dangers to Humanity

#artificialintelligence

"China can Enslave Humanity with Artificial Intelligence, Robotics & Drones on 5G Network," says The AI Organization What are the inter-connections between AI, U.S, China, Big Tech and the world's use of Facial Recognition, Bio-Metrics, Drones, Smart Phones, Smart Cities, IoT, VR, Mixed Reality, 5G, Robotics, Cybernetics, & Bio-Digital Social Programming? The book will cover present, emerging and future threats of Artificial Intelligence with Big Tech, including technology that can be used for assassination or to control humanity's ability to have free formed thoughts without AI Bio-Digital Social Programming. The book will cover Cyborgs, Super Intelligence and how it can form, and in what ways it can travel undetected through The AI Global Network as it connects with the internet and the Human Bio-Digital Network. Over 50 Companies and Organizations are discussed, such as Huawei, Facebook, Nearalink, Google, Baidu, Megvii Face, and Alibaba. This book takes the reader in a simple way to understand what is Artificial Intelligence, and step by step, it takes the average reader through a process to understand very difficult concepts in a simplistic way.


Toshiba to tie up with University of Tokyo in bid to nurture AI engineers

The Japan Times

Toshiba Corp. said Thursday it will team up with the University of Tokyo to nurture specialists on artificial intelligence as part of efforts to secure talent in the next-generation technology. The electronics giant aims to nearly triple its number of AI engineers to 2,000 by March 2023 from the current 750 to boost research and development in the field, the company said. Under the program to be introduced in December, which is being developed with the university's graduate school of information science and technology, Toshiba engineers over a three-month course will study a wide range of technologies involving AI and big data analysis using data provided by the company's factories. The program is projected to train about 350 engineers by the end of fiscal 2022. Toshiba also plans to newly employ 200 AI specialists while nurturing another 700 under its original education system to have its staff acquire knowledge of the latest digital technologies.

Could the Rise of AI Put Truckers' Jobs in Peril? "In the Age of AI" FRONTLINE

#artificialintelligence

Self-driving trucks may have once seemed like a futuristic vision. But in recent years, they've begun taking to the road -- and their implications for the labor market, and long-haul truck drivers in particular, could be enormous. In the above excerpt from the new FRONTLINE documentary "In the Age of AI," meet the 24-year-old CEO of a self-driving truck company whose vehicles are already delivering freight from California to Arizona; an independent trucker and his wife whose livelihood could be threatened by the new tech; and a sociologist and author who's been studying the forces reshaping the trucking industry. Find us on the PBS Video App, where there are more than 250 FRONTLINE documentaries available for you to watch any time: https://to.pbs.org/FLVideoApp Funding for FRONTLINE is provided through the support of PBS viewers and by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.


Artificial intelligence system Fashion helps people make fashion choices - The Daily Texan

#artificialintelligence

A research team at UT has developed an artificial intelligence program to improve people's clothing choices. Fashion is a program with the goal of making minimal edits for outfit improvement, such as changing the color or fit of a piece of clothing, said Kimberly Hsiao, a computer science graduate student. She said she is leading the project with UT computer science professor Kristen Grauman and students and professors from Cornell Tech, Georgia Tech and Facebook AI Research. "We wanted to come up with something that is useful in peoples' lives, and clothing is how people make statements about themselves," Hsiao said. Hsiao said the program works by users uploading a photo of their outfit.


68 Melanie Mitchell on Artificial Intelligence and the Challenge of Common Sense – Sean Carroll

#artificialintelligence

It's very abstract and it's something that deep neural networks can't do even in the simplest form. They can't recognize same… If you give them an example of something in which two things are the same versus two things are different in general, it can't do that task.
