Google launches artificial intelligence division
To help accelerate AI research, Pichai announced that the Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) it uses to train machine-learning models is available in the Google Cloud Platform for anyone to use via the Google Compute Engine today. "We want it to be possible for hundreds of thousands of developers to use machine learning," Pichai said. Our new Cloud TPUs accelerate a wide range of machine learning workloads, including training and inference https://t.co/aWvTVMn54Q The CEO also announced that Google will be using the neural nets it creates to build other neural nets with AutoML. The system takes a set of candidate neural nets (Pichai called them baby neural nets) and iterate them using a reinforcement training approach until the best one is found.
Cinematography on the fly
But a team of researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and ETH Zurich hope to make drone cinematography more accessible, simple, and reliable. Then, on the fly, it generates control signals for a camera-equipped autonomous drone, which preserve that framing as the actors move. With our solution, if the subject turns 180 degrees, our drones are able to circle around and keep focus on the face. The researchers tested the system at CSAIL's motion-capture studio, using a quadrotor (four-propeller) drone.

7 Ways Chatbots Can Benefit Your Marketing Strategy
They can be used to perform a variety of different functions within the realms of customer service, customer interaction and many different "top of the funnel" advertising and marketing initiatives. While chatbots have been around for a while, they recently blew up in popularity when Facebook allowed branded chatbots onto its Facebook Messenger app. Instead of having to call and sit on a phone waiting to ask a five-second question, you can simply message a customer service chatbot and get your answer in a flash. Chatbots can play a large role analyzing customer data, and optimizing sales and marketing strategies in light of this analysis.
How artificial intelligence will transform IT operations and devops
The human mind is no longer capable of keeping up with the velocity, volume, and variety of Big Data streaming through daily operations, making AI a powerful and essential tool for optimizing the analyzing and decision-making processes. Using all this information, it makes a data reservoir of relevant insights that may contain solutions to a wide range of critical issues, faced by IT operations and DevOps teams on a daily basis. The real-time obstacles DevOps engineers, IT Operations managers, CTOs, VP engineering, and CISO face numerous challenges, which can be mitigated effectively by integrating AI in log analysis and related operations. Quickly find the needle in the "IT operations" haystack and eliminate the main problems The good AI integration can yield Using AI driven log analytics systems, it becomes considerably easy to find the needle in the haystack, and efficiently solve issues.

Google's video recognition AI is trivially trollable
As the university's announcement points out, law enforcement agencies have a lot of faith that AI will help them tag suspects in surveillance videos. It's also interesting to note that Google's AI showed remarkable confidence in its incorrect identifications, as is seen in the table below, with the Audi inserted into the Chocolate Factory's test videos of animals, Google Fibre, and legendary Gorilla researcher Jane Goodall. Best of all: the researchers didn't have to learn how the video classifier's AI worked to deceive it. "Note that we could deceive the Google's Cloud Video Intelligence API, without having any knowledge about the learning algorithms, video annotation algorithms or the cloud computing architecture used by the API", they write, "we developed an approach for deceiving the API, by only querying the system with different inputs".
This Is What a True Artificial Intelligence Really Is
To borrow a cliché opening from the last high school commencement or Maid of Honor speech you heard, the dictionary defines artificial intelligence (AI) as 1: a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers; and 2: the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior. But, do these definitions really explain the difference between an artificially intelligent system and one that's just programmed to be useful? What is "intelligent" behavior or, more specifically, "intelligent human behavior"? For many, the term "artificial intelligence" draws to mind humanoid robots like C-3PO from "Star Wars" or Dolores from "Westworld."

Sundar Pichai Sees Google's Future in the Smartest Cloud
In other words, he hopes the new chip and the new service will set Google's cloud business apart from services offered by its main rivals, including Amazon and Microsoft, the unnamed competitive threat underlying his I/O keynote. Between its two AI labs--Google Brain, based at company headquarters in Silicon Valley, and DeepMind, a London AI startup Google purchased a little more than three years ago--Google is leading the new wave of artificial intelligence research and development so rapidly changing entire industries and economies. But the company believes cloud computing--where computing power is rented over the internet to businesses and software developers--could one day bring in far more. Google built its new chip as a better way of serving its own AI services, most notably Google Translate, says Jeff Dean, the uber-engineer who oversees Google Brain, the company's main AI lab.

Fight Against Cancer with Artificial Intelligence and Big Data - OpenMind
This company has developed a new anti-cancer drug (against pancreatic, breast, liver or brain cancer) called BPM 31510, which has been discovered by an algorithm. The major technology companies are using millions of people data to find treatments. In addition to the start-ups, all major technology companies have already begun to apply Big Data and artificial intelligence to the service of health. Big Data and artificial intelligence, combined with genetic analysis, allow researchers to search for and find patterns among patients with rare diseases, who may be separated by distance but carry the same mutation.
