The Future of AI in 2025 and Beyond

#artificialintelligence

By 2025, artificial intelligence (AI) will significantly improve our daily life by handling some of today's complex tasks with great efficiency. The leading AI researcher, Geoff Hinton, stated that it is very hard to predict what advances AI will bring beyond five years, noting that exponential progress makes the uncertainty too great. This article will therefore consider both the opportunities as well as the challenges that we will face along the way across different sectors of the economy. It is not intended to be exhaustive. AI deals with the area of developing computing systems which are capable of performing tasks that humans are very good at, for example recognising objects, recognising and making sense of speech, and decision making in a constrained environment. Some of the classical approaches to AI include (non-exhaustive list) Search algorithms such as Breath-First, Depth-First, Iterative Deepening Search, A* algorithm, and the field of Logic including Predicate Calculus and Propositional Calculus. Local Search approaches were also developed for example Simulated Annealing, Hill Climbing (see also Greedy), Beam Search and Genetic Algorithms (see below). Machine Learning is defined as the field of AI that applies statistical methods to enable computer systems to learn from the data towards an end goal. The term was introduced by Arthur Samuel in 1959. A non-exhaustive list of examples of techniques include Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, K-Means, k-Nearest Neighbour (kNN), Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Trees, Random Forests, XG Boost, Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), CatBoost. Deep Learning refers to the field of Neural Networks with several hidden layers. Such a neural network is often referred to as a deep neural network. Neural Networks are biologically inspired networks that extract abstract features from the data in a hierarchical fashion.

#artificialintelligence

Description Welcome, In this course, we aim to specialize in artificial intelligence by doing Machine Learning and Deep Learning Projects at various levels. Before starting the course, you must have basic Python knowledge. Our aim in this course is to turn real-life problems that seem difficult to do into projects and then solve them using latest versions of artificial intelligence algorithms and Python(3.8). This course was prepared in July 2021. We will carry out some of our projects using machine learning and some using deep learning algorithms.


This manual for a face recognition tool shows how much it tracks people

#artificialintelligence

In 2019, the Santa Fe Independent School District in Texas ran a weeklong pilot program with the facial recognition firm AnyVision in its school hallways. With more than 5,000 student photos uploaded for the test run, AnyVision called the results "impressive" and expressed excitement at the results to school administrators. "Overall, we had over 164,000 detections the last 7 days running the pilot. We were able to detect students on multiple cameras and even detected one student 1100 times!" Taylor May, then a regional sales manager for AnyVision, said in an email to the school's administrators.


Four Reasons Why You Should Start A Data Science Blog

#artificialintelligence

There are a ton of online courses that try to sell the idea that "Learn Data Science in 10 weeks or less," "Cracking Data Science Interviews and earn you first million." This type of clickbait content is ubiquitous on the web, and beginners may be lost in the way of searching for the real stuff. So, my biggest writing motivation is to democratize Data Science by creating authentic content that is accessible to everyone. My writing strategy is to do a thorough "literature review" of the existing works, spot the incremental value (i.e., the gap), and write a series of original posts on the topic. Medium is the best writing platform that supports content writing.

How To Sell AI

#artificialintelligence

Companies like C3.ai and Palantir have shown that selling AI technology can be quite lucrative. After all, these companies command significant market caps and are growing quickly. Yet selling AI technology remains difficult. Customers often want customized solutions that are based on their unique data sets. There are also the issues of adoption.


Socially Responsible AI Algorithms: Issues, Purposes, and Challenges

Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research

In the current era, people and society have grown increasingly reliant on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. AI has the potential to drive us towards a future in which all of humanity flourishes. It also comes with substantial risks for oppression and calamity. Discussions about whether we should (re)trust AI have repeatedly emerged in recent years and in many quarters, including industry, academia, healthcare, services, and so on. Technologists and AI researchers have a responsibility to develop trustworthy AI systems. They have responded with great effort to design more responsible AI algorithms. However, existing technical solutions are narrow in scope and have been primarily directed towards algorithms for scoring or classification tasks, with an emphasis on fairness and unwanted bias. To build long-lasting trust between AI and human beings, we argue that the key is to think beyond algorithmic fairness and connect major aspects of AI that potentially cause AIโ€™s indifferent behavior. In this survey, we provide a systematic framework of Socially Responsible AI Algorithms that aims to examine the subjects of AI indifference and the need for socially responsible AI algorithms, define the objectives, and introduce the means by which we may achieve these objectives. We further discuss how to leverage this framework to improve societal well-being through protection, information, and prevention/mitigation. This article appears in the special track on AI & Society.


College admissions scam case set for Sept. 8 trial in Boston

Boston Herald

USC's Pat Haden and now two "Varsity Blues" defendants want to file briefs in the college admissions scam case under seal. What they want to share, they argue, is "sensitive, confidential, and personally identifiable information." Haden, the former athletic director at the University of Southern California, has filed a motion in federal court in Boston to "quash a trial subpoena for testimony issued by counsel for defendants," as the Herald has reported. He was just granted permission to state his case in private. Defendants Gamal Abdelaziz and John Wilson are seeking that same protection to keep their arguments out of the public eye -- for now.

Imbalanced Classification Master Class in Python NED the XGBoost algorithm for imbalanced classification, it is important to test the default XGBoost model and establish a baseline in performance. Although the XGBoost library has its own Python API by Mike West What you'll learn You'll be able to add your rankings on Kaggle to your resume You'll be able to take what you've learned in the course and apply it to the real world You'll understand the machine learning workflow You'll learn why a class of models known as gradient boosters have taken over competitive modeling You'll learn how to tune an XGBoost model The majority of the course is programmtic with real-world code samples Description "An in depth course on XGBoost with code, examples and caveats. I would recommend to someone with a bit of ML experience, not for beginners (as he says in the first lecture)." To elaborate on the who-this-is-for section, if you know machine learning but not XGBoost specifically, this is for you." Louis B "Great code samples to get started on my own problems. Thanks!"

Does competency-based education with blockchain signal a new mission for universities?

#artificialintelligence

New technologies and the knowledge economy are destabilising graduate professions, with artificial intelligence and the analysis of'big data' making significant impacts on formerly secure jobs. Blockchain technology, offering automated secure credentialling of undergraduate students' activities and achievements, may significantly erode existing systems of assessment. The challenge for universities will be not only to maintain the relevance of their curricula but also to manage erosion of their current near-monopoly in awarding degrees. This paper envisions a landscape in which universities must outsource parts of their course delivery and assessment in order to remain competitive. It examines a potentially sustainable mission strategy: to move away from narrow academic disciplines towards an authentic learning curriculum focusing on the development of students as whole persons with rounded educations.
