#artificialintelligence

The use of computer vision technologies to boost machine learning continues to accelerate, driven by optimism that classifying huge volumes of images will unleash all sorts of new applications and forms of autonomy. But there's a darker side to this transformation: These learning systems remain remarkably easy to fool using so-called "adversarial attacks." Even worse is that leading researchers acknowledge they don't really have a solution for stopping mischief makers from wreaking havoc on these systems. "Can we defend against these attacks?" said Nicolas Papernot, a research scientist at Google Brain, the company's deep learning artificial intelligence research team. "Unfortunately, the answer is no."

How AI Is Impacting School Energy Savings And Sustainability Practices

#artificialintelligence

The subject of artificial intelligence (AI) in education often centers around edtech breakthroughs and the ongoing evolution of the learning spaces inside schools. But AI is also experiencing growth in other sectors that have a direct impact on schools, presenting more areas for the education community to study. Take, for instance, construction and green energy resources. As schools look to cut costs, they are also increasing the adoption of sustainability programs. New state-of-the-art energy efficiency technologies may offer cost savings while reducing a school's carbon footprint.

Election security, Artificial Intelligence among future threats on Pentagon's radar br

#artificialintelligence

GRAVE NEW WORLD: The U.S. needs to tackle the challenges of adapting artificial intelligence systems for modern warfare, the same way the "titans of industry" transformed Detroit into an "arsenal of democracy" during World War II, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said at a conference hosted by the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence. "Mastering artificial intelligence will require similar vision, ambition and commitment," Esper said. "We need the full force of American intellect and ingenuity working in harmony across the public and private sectors." Artificial Intelligence, sometimes called "machine learning," refers to advanced computer algorithms that can use data to "learn" and therefore make choices without human input. Last week a Pentagon advisory board released proposed guidelines for the ethical deployment of AI-enabled weapons on the battlefield.


ยฃ34 million investment to develop care robots to transform care sector and relieve pressure off healthcare professionals - AT Today - Assistive Technology

#artificialintelligence

Part of the UK Government's aim to give people five years of longer, healthier life, it has announced a ยฃ34 million investment to develop robots capable of providing support for Britons and making caring responsibilities easier. With one in seven people in the UK now expected to be over 75 years old by 2040, care robots could help provide the UK's dedicated adult social care sector with more assistance for those who need it most. The Government has launched the UK's biggest research programme entirely dedicated to making autonomous systems safe and trustworthy for public use with investment that could help develop robots to one day fulfil tasks such as helping an elderly person up after a fall and raising the alarm, delivering food to an older person at mealtimes, and ensuring they take crucial medication at the correct time. This cutting-edge programme will undertake research into their design, for example ensuring robots are better protected against cyber-attacks and that they demonstrate principles like respect, fairness and equality, enabling them to eventually be used in environments like care homes and hospitals. In the healthcare sector, this dedicated programme could enable care robots work alongside professionals to assist and complement their work, and help relieve pressures.


Liberty Defense Beta Tests AI-Powered Stadium Security System

#artificialintelligence

In 2014, scientists at MIT began working to develop an artificial intelligence-powered security system. Atlanta-based company Liberty Defense licensed that technology, called Hexwave, and is now making it commercially available for sports stadiums and other venues. Hexwave uses AI to search for potentially dangerous metallic and non-metallic objects. The system uses radar to scan an individual, then creates a digital 3D image from which it can determine whether the person is carrying a possible threat such as a weapon or a bottle of alcohol. The entire scanning and decision process takes less than 0.2 seconds, reducing the amount of time that is usually taken for fans to file through security scanners when entering sports stadiums.


4 Major Trending Concerns in AI

#artificialintelligence

One of the key areas that needs to be deeply explored from a Human/AI and anthropological perspective is trust. There are a lot of unknowns and misinformation about AI, which has contributed to the fear that you see and hear in the news. This is further fuelled by the way machines and AI are portrayed in movies like Terminator, iRobot, and Transcendence. As such, in order to build trust, we need to address the underlaying concerns that people have about AI. Last month, I gave a talk on Human AI Interactions to a group of Canadian regulators, lawyers, and entrepreneurs in Montrรฉal.


Labor shortages in Japan's construction sector provide unexpected economic boost

The Japan Times

As Japan's construction firms are squeezed by the tightest labor market since the 1970s and a rapidly aging population, they are pouring investment into technology -- and providing unexpected support to an economy reeling from the bitter U.S.-China trade war. The industry sees artificial intelligence and robots -- which can scurry around building sites day and night, preparing equipment and moving materials for the next day's construction -- as a way to future-proof and close the labor gap. But a side effect is that one of the country's least-productive sectors is bolstering capital expenditures even as the world's third-largest economy flirts with recession amid a global growth slowdown. Construction company Shimizu Corp., which spent about ยฅ3 billion ($27.7 million) on robots over three years, is a case in point. Equipped with state-of-the-art AI, cameras and sensors, the machines handle everything from transporting building materials and welding steel to installing ceilings.


Australian gov't spends A$7.67M on AI research for resource sector

#artificialintelligence

Editor's Note: Get caught up in minutes with our speedy summary of today's must-read news stories and expert opinions that moved the precious metals and financial markets. The Australian government is setting up two mining research centres in partnership with universities and commercial supporters, according to an announcement made on Tuesday. The centers will be based in Sydney and Adelaide. The Australian government said research activity at the University of Sydney "...will focus on data analytics related to the long-term impact of resource use on Australia's economy, society and environment. It will help develop the necessary data science skills for Australia's resource industries to make the best possible evidence-based decisions when using our natural resources." The University of Adelaide will focus on advanced sensors and data analytics.
