Disney Gets FAA Approval For Drone Light Shows

International Business Times

Disney has been trying to diversify its entertainment offerings for some time now. Two years back, the company applied for and was granted a patent for using drones to carry screens and pyrotechnics. Now, on Monday, Disney announced that it had been given permission from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to use these drones. Disney drones, which would be programmable and semi-autonomous, will direct the formations such as displaying pixels in a giant TV screen formation in the sky. The approval from FAA, which granted Disney a waiver from existing laws controlling drone movement, is not permanent and can be revoked at anytime. It is valid for a period of four years and the company must use authorized remote pilots and prevent the drones from flying uncontrolled over guest-occupied areas.


An artificial intelligence system that correctly predicted the last 3 elections says Trump will win

#artificialintelligence

The polls have consistently showed Hillary Clinton with a lead over Donald Trump in recent weeks, but an artificial intelligence system has a different prediction for the outcome of the presidential election. The system, called MogIA, uses 20 million data points from online platforms like Google, YouTube, and Twitter to come up with its predictions, according to CNBC. MogIA correctly predicted the past three presidential elections as well as the Democratic and Republican primaries. "While most algorithms suffer from programmers/developer's biases, MoglA aims at learning from her environment, developing her own rules at the policy layer and develop expert systems without discarding any data," Sanjiv Rai, the founder of Indian start-up Genic.ai MogIA uses data such as engagement with tweets and videos posted to the platforms the system looks at.


Washington Post will use AI to cover every major result on US Election Day

#artificialintelligence

The Washington Post plans to cover every major race on Election Day using AI. Using an in-house build data-crunching programme called Heliograf, the Post plans to provide detailed coverage of nearly 500 contests around the U.S. Allowing their team of 60 political reporters to focus their attention on high-profile contests and races. "This will give readers Washington Post-quality coverage at all levels but will also be used to alert reporters to things that they may not see, or draw their attention to a particular race that they didn't expect to be a close one," said Jeremy Gilbert, the Post's director of strategic initiatives. The Post experimented with the software to cover events at the Rio De Janeiro Olympics this summer but will look to expand its use on Election Day. Using templates and pre-written previews, the program will automatically update stories as results come in, said Sam Han, the Post's director of data science.


Looks Like the A.I was right; Trump Is President elect!

#artificialintelligence

We recently published a news strory about an artificial intelligence system that predicted that Donald Trump will win the US presidential elections. We also went ahead to inform you that the A.I christened MoglA had predicted the past three American elections correctly. Well, it looks like MoglA has added another feather to it's cap as Donald Trump has been declared the president elect of the United states of America. To read about Trump's win, click HERE The AI system christened MoglA was developed by an Indian startup founded by Sanjiv Rai. The prediction was a bold one, putting into consideration the fact that most polls before the elections have put Hillary ahead of Trump by a good margin.

California Legislature will have to pass bills under new transparency rules set by Proposition 54

Los Angeles Times

California voters have approved a significant change of the rules in how proposed laws are approved by the Legislature, overwhelmingly supporting a new mandate for public review of legislation before any final vote. Proposition 54, which will impose a three-day waiting period before lawmakers can take action on the final version of bills, appeared headed for an easy victory on election night. As of early Wednesday, it was winning with 64% of the vote. The change in legislative rules was long discussed in the state Capitol but failed to gain momentum until the initiative written by a former GOP legislator and bankrolled by a wealthy Bay Area activist. In addition to the three-day delay for public review of most bills, Proposition 54 will also impose new rules requiring that video of legislative hearings and debates be posted online.

Why Artificial Empathy, not AI, is the way of the future.

#artificialintelligence

I recently read Preparing for the Future of Artificial Intelligence, a paper published by the White House's Executive Office of the President, National Science and Technology Council, Committee on Technology (or EOPNSTCCT for short!). One of the important distinctions it highlights is the difference between Narrow, and General AI. Narrow AI (sometimes referred to as Weak AI) underpins fairly specific services like recommendations on Amazon, ad targeting, and even Facebook's news feed. Watson is unique in that it applies both machine learning, and expert systems, but it's still essentially an advanced'question answering' machine. General AI (also called Artificial General Intelligence, AGI) refers to a notional future AI system that exhibits intelligent behaviours across a complete range of human cognitive tasks.
