Man Puts an AI Brain in a Microwave, It Tries to Kill Him
Lucas Rizzotto, a YouTuber from Brazil, had no idea what to expect when he gave his Alexa powered smart microwave a brain transplant, replacing the Amazon... 21.04.2022, What he created is a frightening abomination of a poet with an affinity towards Hitler, the British crown and the ending of what it calls the parasitic American empire. Oh, and it wants to kill its creator. There is that, too.Rizzotto, who makes humorous videos about technology projects he builds, used an imaginary friend he had as a child who happened to be embodied in his family's microwave as inspiration. "Magnetron" was a turn-of-the-century British poet who served in World War I, lost his family to the war and later became an expert StarCraft player.
AI threatening jobs in the entertainment industry, warns union
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are replacing skilled professionals and threatening employment opportunities in the performing arts industry, a union has warned. Equity, which represents performing arts workers, has announced a new campaign that aims to strengthen performers' rights to address what it describes as the "rapid development" of AI across the entertainment industry. The organisation says that the use of the technology across the audio and audio-visual sector – including in automated audiobooks and digital avatars – has advanced significantly in recent years and is replacing skilled professional performers due to the perception it's cheaper and more convenient. It said that many artists that get involved with AI work are not being compensated fairly and are sometimes not paid at all. "The explosion of artificial intelligence across the entertainment industry is a significant and growing concern for audio artists and other performers," warned Paul W Fleming, Equity general secretary.
Can AI hack us or is it just science fiction ? Malicious side of Artificial Intelligence.
There are many ways to hack someone's computer and email, but what is the process? We break down how Deep learning is used for these malicious tricks and how you can protect yourself. Is Deep learning good for Hacking? Some people in the security community are concerned that deep learning could be used for hacking. They worry that hackers could use deep learning to create powerful new attack tools, or to automate attacks.
Fake News Classifier using Bidirectional LSTM
Fake news is false or misleading information presented as news. It often aims to damage the reputation of a person or entity or make money through advertising revenue. However, the term does not have a fixed definition and has been applied more broadly to include any type of false information, including unintentional and unconscious mechanisms, and also by high-profile individuals to apply to any news unfavorable to his/her personal perspectives. To develop a Fake News Classifier using Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) using Python programming Language and Keras on Cainvas Platform. Let's load our data file train.csv
Inducing Gaussian Process Networks
Tibo, Alessandro, Nielsen, Thomas Dyhre
Gaussian processes (GPs) are powerful but computationally expensive machine learning models, requiring an estimate of the kernel covariance matrix for every prediction. In large and complex domains, such as graphs, sets, or images, the choice of suitable kernel can also be non-trivial to determine, providing an additional obstacle to the learning task. Over the last decade, these challenges have resulted in significant advances being made in terms of scalability and expressivity, exemplified by, e.g., the use of inducing points and neural network kernel approximations. In this paper, we propose inducing Gaussian process networks (IGN), a simple framework for simultaneously learning the feature space as well as the inducing points. The inducing points, in particular, are learned directly in the feature space, enabling a seamless representation of complex structured domains while also facilitating scalable gradient-based learning methods. We consider both regression and (binary) classification tasks and report on experimental results for real-world data sets showing that IGNs provide significant advances over state-of-the-art methods. We also demonstrate how IGNs can be used to effectively model complex domains using neural network architectures.
AI ethics for children: digital natives on how to protect future generations
Children and young people are growing up in an increasingly digital age, where technology pervades every aspect of their lives. From robotic toys and social media to the classroom and home, artificial intelligence (AI) is a ubiquitous part of daily life. It's vital therefore that ethical guidelines protect them and ensure they get the best from this emerging technology. Generation Z, who have grown up with AI, are uniquely placed to offer an insight into the potential issues of AI targeted at children and help create governance guidelines. With that in mind the World Economic Forum has set up the AI Youth Council, a global diverse group comprising young people interested in AI.
Generating Music using Deep Learning
Deep learning has radically transformed the fields of computer vision and natural language processing, in not just classification but also generative tasks, enabling the creation of unbelievably realistic pictures as well as artificially generated news articles. In this project, we aim to create novel neural network architectures to generate new music, using 20,000 MIDI samples of different genres from the Lakh Piano Dataset, a popular benchmark dataset for recent music generation tasks. This project was a group effort by Isaac Tham and Matthew Kim, senior-year undergraduates at the University of Pennsylvania. Music generation using deep learning techniques has been a topic of interest for the past two decades. Music proves to be a different challenge compared to images, among three main dimensions: Firstly, music is temporal, with a hierarchical structure with dependencies across time. Secondly, music consists of multiple instruments that are interdependent and unfold across time.
