Ted Cruz, Notable Human Man, Launches Investigation Into Artificial Intelligence
Senator Ted Cruz, long believed to be a human man, will hold Congressional hearings about artificial intelligence tomorrow. And while Gizmodo has yet to confirm or deny the rumors that Ted Cruz is trying to build his own Westworld-style amusement park, we're sure everything is fine. The hearings are titled "The Dawn of Artificial Intelligence," and will include testimony from representatives of Microsoft, Carnegie Mellon University, and NASA, among others. The majority of speakers listed for tomorrow seem pretty optimistic about the future of AI, including Dr. Eric Horvitz of Microsoft. "There have been concerns about the long-term prospect that we lose control of certain kinds of intelligences," Dr. Horvitz told the BBC last year.
How artificial intelligence is transforming the legal profession
How artificial intelligence is transforming the legal profession The future of the legal profession began 20 years ago. The technology boom was just beginning with the emergence of email and personal computers. Jay Leib was working for Record Technologies Inc. as director of software sales and training in 1999, and the company was scanning documents into databases for clients. At one point the company printed and scanned legal documents related to a lawsuit with Microsoft. Leib thought that was inefficient, a waste of time and paper. So he and his business partner, Dan Roth, decided to create a program that would help lawyers manage electronic documents for litigation. Their idea led them to purchase an e-discovery application. By 2000, Leib and his partner launched their own creation, Discovery Cracker. "We saw a gap in the marketplace," Leib says. Lawyers need tools to keep up with it." Instead of wading through piles of paper, lawyers now deal with terabytes of data and hundreds of ...

This drone gun knocks drones out of the sky gently, with radio waves
Drones are flying bundles of sensors and radio waves, sometimes put to nefarious purpose. In Iraq, the insurgent group ISIS put this combination to deadly effect, killing enemies and assembling a small aerial arsenal. Small, deadly drones used to kill are relatively new to battlefields, so companies are making new weapons to take drones down. The latest, from DroneShield, is the plainly-named "Dronegun." The company claims the weapon has a range of over a mile, and promises to immediately cease video transmission back to the drone operator.
World War II Codebreaker Bletchley Park Is New UK School For Cybersecurity
The 2014 movie The Imitation Game tells the story of Alan Turing, the UK coding genius who built the influential Turing Machine, helped defeat the Nazis, but who also accepted chemically castration as an alternative to being gaoled for homosexual offences. Treated disgracefully by the establishment, he was finally pardoned by the Queen in 2013, following a public apology by then British Prime Minister Gordon Brown in 2009. The film was overdue recognition for the work Turing had done in computing and winning World War II for the allies. During the War, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cipher School at Bletchley Park, an hour's drive north of London and while Turing died at the tragically young age of 42 and can't come back, Bletchley Park has since resurrected itself as a national monument for the work done there. The Government bought the 581-acre site in 1938 and it was reopened in 1993 as a museum, but is now expected to play a vital role in the current coding threat of cybersecurity, not secret Nazi codes.
Investigatory Powers Bill officially passes into law, giving Britain the 'most extreme spying powers ever seen'
Britain's intelligence services have officially been given the "most extreme spying powers ever seen". The Investigatory Powers Act has now been given royal assent, meaning that those surveillance rules will pass into law. The bill was officially unveiled a year ago and passed through the House of Lords earleir this month, but the act of being signed off means that those powers now go into effect. It adds new surveillance powers including rules that force internet providers to keep completely records of every website that all of their customers visit. Those will be available to a wide range of agencies, which includes the Department for Work and Pensions as well as the Food Standards Agency.
Things to Know Right Now about Artificial Intelligence BrightMove
Keep your recruiting and business development vision clear by understanding the direction and growing impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the economy. We talked earlier about innovations in AI that will certainly displace jobs. In October, a report from the White House took that conversation further, laying the groundwork for regulatory and industry support of rapidly coalescing advancements in AI. Developed with interagency effort, the findings follow an outreach effort by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), including requests for information and public workshops hosted by research and other institutions. AI is defined in several ways.
