#artificialintelligence

To train this AI, we only need to input articles, books, languages, and internet sources. Therefore, the bias and complexity could be reduced and minimized. The model could be used for general purpose selection. Apart from that, the existing voice recognizers and chatbots can support better candidate communication. The aim of first calls by contingent firms is simply laying out the basic job descriptions and asking for a YES or NO, which chatbots could easily handle.

From Hype to Practical: What's Next for AI? - ReadWrite

#artificialintelligence

After years of hype around AI and machine learning, skepticism, and a focus on practical applications of the technology are now taking center stage. In the security industry, this was abundantly clear at the recent RSA Conference where 45,000 people and a thousand vendors descended on San Francisco to discuss industry challenges and debate over the best solutions. Despite the many voices contending for attention at the show, there was little to no dispute that the cybersecurity skills gap continues to be one of the industry's biggest challenges. But, here's what is next for AI. An (ISC)² report released during the conference says there are 2.93 million cybersecurity positions open and unfilled around the world.

#artificialintelligence

Communitech, in partnership with the Schulich Foundation and Leaders Fund, revealed the problem statement for the Leaders Prize Competition Wednesday. This first-of-its-kind competition in Canada will award $1 million to the winning team using artificial intelligence (AI) to solve a global problem that is undermining our democracies: fake news and the spread of misinformation. Teams across Canada are invited to create solutions to automatically verify a series of claims, flag whether they are true, partly true, or false and provide evidence to support their determination. The prize will ultimately be awarded to the most effective and efficient AI based fact-checking solution. "This competition will inspire the creation of breakthrough solutions that inform our citizens if the online content they consume is accurate, before and as they read it," said David Stein, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Leaders Fund.


Iran Says It Shot Down a U.S. Drone

NYT > Middle East

Hossein Salami, the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, addressing the issue at a military ceremony in Sanandaj, Iran, said the drone had been shot down in Iranian airspace. "We are not going to get engaged in a war with any country, but we are fully prepared for war," Mr. Salami said, according to a translation from Press TV. "Today's incident was a clear sign of this precise message so we are continuing our resistance." The Revolutionary Guards said in a separate statement that the aircraft was an American-made Global Hawk surveillance drone, according to Press TV. American officials said last week that Iran had fired a surface-to-air missile at a drone over the Gulf of Oman, on the same day that two oil tankers were attacked.


Iran says Revolutionary Guard shot down U.S. drone

The Japan Times

TEHRAN - Iran's Revolutionary Guard said Thursday it shot down a U.S. drone amid heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington over its collapsing nuclear deal. The U.S. military declined to immediately comment. The reported shootdown of the RQ-4 Global Hawk comes after the U.S. military previously alleged Iran fired a missile at another drone last week that responded to the attack on two oil tankers near the Gulf of Oman. The U.S. blames Iran for the attack on the ships, which Tehran denies. The attacks come against the backdrop of heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran following President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers a year ago. The White House separately said it was aware of reports of a missile strike on Saudi Arabia amid a campaign targeting the kingdom by Yemen's Iranian-allied Houthi rebels.

Rapid skill changes scare most Indians - Times of India

#artificialintelligence

BENGALURU: Given today's fast-changing world, as high as 62% of Indian professionals said in a survey by LinkedIn that they felt daunted by the rapid pace of change in skills that are in demand. A high proportion (45%) of those surveyed left organisations because of lack of learning and development opportunities, according to LinkedIn, which surveyed about 5,000 employees and professionals in Australia, India, Japan, and Singapore. And this mismatch between market requirements, labour skills and opportunities is expected to grow more acute in future. By 2020, it is estimated that Asia-Pacific (Apac) will face a labour shortage of 12.3 million workers at an annual opportunity cost of $4.2 trillion. By 2020, it is also expected that 42% of the core skills required for a job will change, LinkedIn said.
