You are nothing more than a collection of deeply embarrassing and problematic machine learning-determined classifiers. That humbling truth is brought home by ImageNet Roulette, an online tool that gives anyone bold or foolish enough to upload a photo the opportunity to learn just exactly how artificial intelligence sees them. The project, described as "a provocation" by its creators, aims to shed light on how artificial intelligence systems view and classify humans. AI has some pretty racist and misogynistic ideas about people. Or, rather, the dataset ImageNet Roulette draws from, ImageNet, is filled with problematic categories that reflect the bias often inherent in the large datasets that make machine learning possible.

You get on the elevator, punch the close button a few times, and slowly the doors glide together as you catch your breath. But here's the truth: The door-close button doesn't do anything. What it does do is give you the sense that you have a direct impact on the rate they shut, that you're controlling the situation. The world is full of these so-called "placebo buttons." In the US, elevators have been required by law to stay open at least three full seconds ever since the Americans with Disabilities Act passed in 1990, and many other countries, including Britain, have adopted this regulation.

India has initiated a project to digitally map the country with a resolution of 10 centimetres, using drones and technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and big data, a senior government official said on Monday. The herculean task was taken up by the Survey of India, part of the Department of Science and Technology, a few months ago and is planned to be completed in two years, the department's secretary, Prof Ashutosh Sharma said. "Now, we are equipping them [Survey of India] with the latest technologies like drones, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, image processing and continuously operated reference system," he told reporters on the sidelines of an event. Once the project is completed, the data will be available to citizens and to gram panchayats and local bodies, empowering them to use it in decision making and planning process. The survey is currently in progress in Karnataka, Haryana, Maharashtra and the Ganga basin.

Conversational agents in the form of virtual agents or social robots are rapidly becoming wide-spread. Humans use non-verbal behaviors to signal their intent, emotions and attitudes in human-human interactions. Conversational agents therefore need this ability as well in order to make an interaction pleasant and efficient. An important part of non-verbal communication is gesticulation: gestures communicate a large share of non-verbal content. Previous systems for gesture production were typically rule-based and could not represent the range of human gestures.

Father has knocked about the road Holidays a game resemble When the uncle's granny gets an idea from play The trip cannot go wrong Sauna the granny is happy on the way Her dog Wille is happy when granny arrives at the sauna * This is a poem co-created a couple of years ago by a primary school pupil and a computer. It was part of a study where schoolchildren wrote poems together with the Poetry Machine, a computer program designed at the University of Helsinki. The study focused on the co-creativity of humans and computers, a new field of study examining the ways in which computers are able to produce something considered creative. "Such products can be fine arts, music as well as stories, poems or other linguistic creations," says computer scientist Anna Kantosalo. Kantosalo, one of the developers of the Poetry Machine, discussed the development of the system and related user experiences among primary school children in her doctoral dissertation examined in August.

The Army's Artificial Intelligence Task Force, with headquarters in the heart of the Rust Belt, is a crucial component of a grand Pentagon plan to incorporate robots and machine learning into 21st-century warfare. For skeptics, the task force is the concrete embodiment of how the U.S. is headed down a rocky, uncertain road that could put humanity itself in danger. The raging debate over AI, including its implications for the human race and the morality of its use in warfare, has divided the U.S. from some traditional allies. It also is fueling a growing band of activists who warn that "killer robots" are on the horizon of a military that has no comprehensive plan to stop them or understand their implications. Deep, philosophical questions about the ramifications of AI technology -- who is responsible for writing ethical guidelines, to what extent must humans remain in the loop, how much easier is it to fight a war fought (initially) by machines, and who bears the blame if a robot or drone ultimately targets humans -- are just beginning to be confronted in a systematic way.
