#artificialintelligence

AI research at US agencies includes work on autonomous systems, predictive maintenance, smart cities technology, and more. The US government sees a need for increased emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI) research and development. To address this, the federal government plans to spend almost $1 billion in nondefense artificial intelligence research and development in fiscal 2020, according to a supplemental report to the president's budget request.

How one filmmaker is using artificial intelligence to uncover surveillance of her Muslim community in Chicago

#artificialintelligence

Since she was a kid, Assia Boundaoui knew that she, her family and her neighbors were being watched. It was an open secret in her hometown of Bridgeview, a Chicago suburb home to a large Muslim and Arab population where for decades residents experienced government surveillance, including home visits by FBI agents. Using her training as a journalist and documentary filmmaker, Boudaoui sought out proof beginning in 2014 by interviewing community members and filing Freedom of Information requests for records on Operation Vulgar Betrayal, one of the largest pre-9/11 counterrorism probes conducted domestically in the United States and included the Bridgeview community. She also submitted hundreds of privacy waivers on behalf of people who were surveilled to the Department of Justice, requesting files on individuals who had experienced surveillance. When the FBI responded, ultimately saying it would take years to process 33,000 pages of records on the investigation, Boundaoui sued. In 2017, a federal judge ruled that she was entitled to expedited processing, ordering the FBI to release 3,500 pages from the Vulgar Betrayal file each month and to give priority to the sub files of individuals for whom privacy waivers were filed.


AI in 2019: A Year in Review

#artificialintelligence

Some US airlines are now even using it instead of boarding passes, claiming it's more convenient. There has also been wider use of affect recognition, a subset of facial recognition, which claims to'read' our inner emotions by interpreting the micro-expressions on our face. As psychologist Lisa Feldman Barret showed in an extensive survey paper, this type of AI phrenology has no reliable scientific foundation. But it's already being used in classrooms and job interviews -- often without people's knowledge. For example, documents obtained by the Georgetown Center on Privacy and Technology revealed that the FBI and ICE have been quietly accessing drivers license databases, conducting facial-recognition searches on millions of photos without the consent of individuals or authorization from state or federal lawmakers.


Artificial intelligence isn't always the problem

#artificialintelligence

Some days I feel like I want to get off the artificial intelligence train at the next stop. Problem is the train's AI components probably wouldn't recognize what I was saying if I said "next stop." A lot of folks have been hating on the self-checkout stands because they take jobs away from people. I don't think that has happened. Now they have a guy standing at the entrance doing nothing but tagging return items.

A Robot Makes 300 Pizzas An Hour…And Other Small Business Tech News This Week

#artificialintelligence

Here are five things in technology that happened this past week and how they affect your business. Picnic--a Seattle startup, --announced this past week that it has created an assembly platform that can make 300, 12-inch pizzas per hour (and 180 18-inch pizzas per hour), making this robot a first-of-its-kind. When a pizza is ordered, the order goes into a digital queue, prompting the robot to begin making the pie the moment that the dough is placed in the appropriate spot in the machine. Data is then sent back to Picnic through the internet in order for developers to help the robot to improve upon any errors made. The A.I. driven pizza platform is currently being used at 3 different establishments in Seattle.


Artificial Intelligence: Boon Or Doom?

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI), is this term supposed to make us feel good about our future, or should we be worried? Let's get into the depths of it and find out for ourselves. Let's start with talking about how often we hear the term AI in our day to day lives. Smartphone manufacturers have made it a habit to boast about how their smartphones are so smart and come equipped with AI and all the things AI can do for us. As fascinating as this is, AI is meant to be much more than just suggesting what type of picture we are clicking on our smartphone and tweaking the settings to produce the best result.


Rep. Lee Zeldin: Democrats in impeachment probe are cherry-picking what to leak

FOX News

House Democrats leading the Trump impeachment inquiry are "cherry-picking what to leak," House Foreign Affairs committee member Congressman Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., claimed Saturday. Appearing on "Fox & Friends: Weekend" with host Ed Henry, Zeldin said Democrats aren't being upfront with the American public. They're lying about other claims and the American public gets completely deceived as a result of it," he said. At a fiery rally in Louisiana on Friday, the president hit back at Democrats' "witch hunt." This is one of the great con jobs ever. We must never let it happen to another president. This should never be allowed to happen again," he told his crowd of supporters.
