3 Ways Artificial Intelligence Can Improve Campus Cybersecurity

#artificialintelligence

While there's no replacement for the human factor in security, universities can benefit from the amplification and efficiency AI brings to cyberdefense.


VB Special Issue: AI and Security

#artificialintelligence

Both AI and cybersecurity are nearly omnipresent in our daily lives, and the intersection of the two is of increasing importance as our world becomes more connected, more "intelligent," and more reliant on online or automated systems. AI technology can impact existing problems in cybersecurity, national security, physical safety, and even media consumption. The threats are sometimes more sophisticated than ever -- but often not. As attack and defense systems evolve, the need for human expertise becomes more imperative -- not less. And some of the seemingly most onerous threats, like deepfakes and the increasing presence of AI-powered cameras, have practical and political solutions.

Regulation: For AML, fintech is both problem and answer

#artificialintelligence

One subject never fails to light up the eyes of senior bankers and regulators when they're questioned about their efforts to end the money laundering-related scandals that have spread across northern Europe over the last two years: technology. There can be no more damning indictment of the integrity of a bank, or its host nation, than the public revelation that a licensed institution is being used as a laundromat for ill-gotten gains. And what is more enlivening for money-laundering supervisors and bank-compliance officers than showing your firm and country is at the forefront of a technology that could make these troubles disappear? Some of the biggest actors in Europe's financial sector are converts. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority is particularly enthusiastic about using technology to fight money laundering.


How can AI and data science help to fight the coronavirus?

#artificialintelligence

The challenge is based on the CORD-19 dataset, which contains tens of thousands of research papers. It is growing rapidly โ€“ faster than any researcher can read and digest. The challenge is to build tools to help medical researchers extract the information they need, even as more information continues to be published. On Monday, March 16, in the US, the White House together with, among others, the National Institutes of Health and Georgetown University, released the CORD-19 dataset and issued a call to action. In just a few days, more than 362 people from Ericsson raised their hands and offered to participate.


Hackers target health care AI amid coronavirus pandemic

#artificialintelligence

The health care sector has increasingly turned to artificial intelligence to aid in everything from performing surgeries to helping diagnose and predict outcomes of patient illnesses. But as the coronavirus crisis ramps up, and hackers turn their eyes toward the health sector, experts warn these systems and the patients they support are increasingly at risk. "Obviously any disruption or denial of service of any type of medical health technology which interrupts patient care is definitely a significant issue," said John Riggi, the senior adviser for cybersecurity and risk at the American Hospital Association (AHA). "Worst-case scenario, life-saving medical devices may be rendered inoperable." AI systems have gradually been integrated into health care in the United States, often used to help speed diagnoses, such as reading X-rays, and for determining risks to patients.


European Commission White Paper on Artifical Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is developing fast. It will change our lives by improving healthcare (e.g. At the same time, AI entails a number of potential risks, such as opaque decision-making, gender-based or other kinds of discrimination, intrusion in our private lives or being used for criminal purposes. In order to foster an active dialogue between multiple stakeholders and set out policy options to tackle these challenges, the European Commission has just released a White Paper entitled "On Artificial Intelligence -A European approach to excellence and trust" which is available for download.

Artificial Intelligence - Shaping Europe's digital future - European Commission

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an area of strategic importance and a key driver of economic development. It can bring solutions to many societal challenges from treating diseases to minimising the environmental impact of farming. However, socio-economic, legal and ethical impacts have to be carefully addressed. It is essential to join forces in the European Union to stay at the forefront of this technological revolution, to ensure competitiveness and to shape the conditions for its development and use (ensuring respect of European values). The Commission is increasing its annual investments in AI by 70% under the research and innovation programme Horizon 2020.


Microsoft president calls Washington state's new facial recognition law 'a significant breakthrough'

#artificialintelligence

Microsoft President Brad Smith took a break from responding to the COVID-19 outbreak Tuesday to praise Washington state's landmark facial recognition regulations. Jay Inslee signed a bill Tuesday that establishes rules specifically governing facial recognition software. Smith called the law an "early and important model" and "a significant breakthrough" in a blog post published Tuesday. Some cities have enacted their own facial recognition rules, but Washington is the first to establish statewide regulations. "This balanced approach ensures that facial recognition can be used as a tool to protect the public, but only in ways that respect fundamental rights and serve the public interest," Smith said.


Deep Learning Based Multi-Label Text Classification of UNGA Resolutions

arXiv.org Machine Learning

The main goal of this research is to produce a useful software for United Nations (UN), that could help to speed up the process of qualifying the UN documents following the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in order to monitor the progresses at the world level to fight poverty, discrimination, climate changes. In fact human labeling of UN documents would be a daunting task given the size of the impacted corpus. Thus, automatic labeling must be adopted at least as a first step of a multi-phase process to reduce the overall effort of cataloguing and classifying. Deep Learning (DL) is nowadays one of the most powerful tools for state-of-the-art (SOTA) AI for this task, but very often it comes with the cost of an expensive and error-prone preparation of a training-set. In the case of multi-label text classification of domain-specific text it seems that we cannot effectively adopt DL without a big-enough domain-specific training-set. In this paper, we show that this is not always true. In fact we propose a novel method that is able, through statistics like TF-IDF, to exploit pre-trained SOTA DL models (such as the Universal Sentence Encoder) without any need for traditional transfer learning or any other expensive training procedure. We show the effectiveness of our method in a legal context, by classifying UN Resolutions according to their most related SDGs.
