3 principles for solving AI Dilemma: Optimization vs Explanation

#artificialintelligence

Imagine your Aunt Ida is in an autonomous vehicle (AV) -- a self-driving car -- on a city street closed to human-driven vehicles. Imagine a swarm of puppies drops from an overpass, a sinkhole opens up beneath a bus full of mathematical geniuses, or Beethoven (or Tupac) jumps into the street from the left as Mozart (or Biggie) jumps in from the right. Whatever the dilemma, imagine that the least worst option for the network of AVs (Ed: Autonomous Vehicles) is to drive the car containing your Aunt Ida into a concrete abutment. Even if the system made the right choice -- all other options would have resulted in more deaths -- you'd probably want an explanation. Or consider the cases where machine-learning-based AI has gone wrong. It was bad when Google Photos identified black men as gorillas. It can be devastating when AI recommends that black men be kept in jail longer than white men for no reason other than their race. Not to mention autonomous military weapon systems that could deliver racism in airborne explosives.


Artificial intelligence poses questions for nature of war: Mattis

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence and its impact on weapons of the future has made US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis doubt his own theories on warfare. A question on the subject prompted the retired Marine general to give an impromptu seminar on his theory of war Saturday to reporters returning with him from a week-long tour of Europe. Recalling his own writings, he differentiated between the essential nature of war, which is unchanging because it is human, and war's character, which is changing. "The fundamental nature of war is almost like H2O," he said. An old dead German called it a Chameleon because it changes to adapt to its time, to the technology, to the terrain," he said, referring to the 19th century military strategist Carl von Clausewitz. Mattis explained that today drones are piloted remotely, but tomorrow weapons may be able to learn on their own, adapt and fire themselves. "The most misnamed weapon in our system is the unmanned aerial vehicle.

New machine learning algorithm uncovers time-delayed interactions in cells

#artificialintelligence

Biologists have long understood the various parts within the cell. But how these parts interact with and respond to each other is largely unknown. "We want to understand how cells make decisions, so we can control the decisions they make," said Northwestern University's Neda Bagheri. "A cell might decide to divide uncontrollably, which is the case with cancer. If we understand how cells make that decision, then we can design strategies to intervene."


The Birth of AI and The First AI Hype Cycle

@machinelearnbot

Every decade seems to have its technological buzzwords: we had personal computers in 1980s; Internet and worldwide web in 1990s; smart phones and social media in 2000s; and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning in this decade. While artificial intelligence (AI) is among today's most popular topics, a commonly forgotten fact is that it was actually born in 1950 and went through a hype cycle between 1956 and 1982. The purpose of this article is to highlight some of the achievements that took place during the boom phase of this cycle and explain what led to its bust phase. The lessons to be learned from this hype cycle should not be overlooked – its successes formed the archetypes for machine learning algorithms used today, and its shortcomings indicated the dangers of overenthusiasm in promising fields of research and development. Although the first computers were developed during World War II [1,2], what seemed to truly spark the field of AI was a question proposed by Alan Turing in 1950 [3]: can a machine imitate human intelligence?


New machine learning algorithm uncovers time-delayed interactions in cells

Scientists have designed a new machine learning algorithm that uses time-series data to uncover underlying biological networks. Biologists have long understood the various parts within the cell. But how these parts interact with and respond to each other is largely unknown. "We want to understand how cells make decisions, so we can control the decisions they make," said Northwestern University's Neda Bagheri.

#Open #IoT with #Blockchain #AI and #BigData – Paradigm Interactions

#artificialintelligence

There will be many people who will say it does exist and has working technologies, hardware and software. It is an interesting error in thinking to focus on closed system devices/products as to what Ubiquity (IoT3) is. Devices are used to get across the point of various types of connections and networks being accessed. But more importantly in a full implementation of the concept of Ubiquity (often described as the IoT) devices may not even be owned anymore. The ownership of devices ceases to be important if you can own your digital identity, can verify it and establish your own ecosystem of assets in Blockchain.

Noise warfare

#artificialintelligence

In his 5th century treatise on war, Sun Tzu famously proclaimed "If you know your enemy and you know yourself, you will be victorious in numerous battles." Of course, Sun Tzu was fighting with swords and arrows, not keystrokes and algorithms, but the principle is just as applicable to cyber warfare as it was to ancient Chinese battlefields. Among the most vulnerable targets in cyberwarfare are deep neural networks. These deep-learning machines are vital for computer vision -- including in autonomous vehicles -- speech recognition, robotics and more. "Since people started to get really enthusiastic about the possibilities of deep learning, there has been a race to the bottom to find ways to fool the machine learning algorithms," said Yaron Singer, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS).
