What is Artificial Intelligence?

#artificialintelligence

Two years ago, a reporter approached a Harvard professor with a very simple question: what is artificial intelligence? The professor did not have a simple answer. "You are right to be confused." AI is so familiar and yet so indistinct. We've seen the movies, the TED talks and the ads promoting "AI-powered _____."



TCL Roku TV vs Insignia Fire TV: Which is best?

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

If you've got a limited budget or you're hunting for a small TV for the bedroom or office, you might head over to Amazon and check out the best 32-inch TVs on offer. There you'll undoubtedly run into two extremely popular models: the TCL 3-Series and the Insignia F20 Fire TV. These TVs have been top sellers for years, with the Amazon reviews to prove it, but are either of them worth your money? That's the mystery we're here to solve. We've conducted in-depth evaluations of both TVs, backed by comprehensive lab testing.


AI Eye Podcast 661: Stocks discussed: (OTCPINK: $GTCH) (NYSE: $WNS)

#artificialintelligence

GBT Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK:GTCH) has announced that it is developing an AI empowered technology for automatic compaction of integrated circuit (IC) layout blocks. According to the press release, this technology aims "to read existing and new microchip's layout data with the goal of producing the densest layout block possible." "We believe an efficient layout compaction technology can be a great functional and economical solution for existing and new IP blocks. We are now designing an AI based technology to read an existing IC layout block and compacting its size to the densest possible. The process is targeted to be done automatically and within a short time. We are seeking to design the program with the goal of maintaining the process design rules, DFM guidelines and electrical connectivity correctness. It is the goal for the entire silicon area to undergo significant reduction and therefore enable improved silicon yield and ultimately cheaper ICs. The technology is planned to support older and advanced nanometer processes, Analog, Digital, RF and MIXED styles, making it a flexible tool for all types of IC design firms. As Integrated Circuits technology advances, more functionalities, lower power consumption, higher performance and lower cost are in high demand, especially within advanced nanometer projects."

We may think of Artificial Intelligence as some obscure, futuristic concept of the Fourth Industrial Revolution that is associated with scenes from "out-there" sci-fi movies like Star Wars and Terminator. But AI is already here and being used in a wide variety of technological developments that make our daily responsibilities more efficient and convenient. In fact, scientists believe we are already'cyborgs' because we already have a'digital self', which lives into perpetuity. Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines and contrasts with natural intelligence displayed by humans. Towards Data Science says "Artificial Intelligence is the ability of a computer program to learn and think. Everything can be considered Artificial intelligence if it involves a program doing something that we would normally think would rely on the intelligence of a human."


The Case of the Creepy Algorithm That 'Predicted' Teen Pregnancy

WIRED

In 2018, while the Argentine Congress was hotly debating whether to decriminalize abortion, the Ministry of Early Childhood in the northern province of Salta and the American tech giant Microsoft presented an algorithmic system to predict teenage pregnancy. They called it the Technology Platform for Social Intervention. Diego Jemio is a journalist, educator, and podcaster. He currently writes for the Clarín newspaper (Buenos Aires), Vértice (Mexico), and other media. He is the creator of the podcast Epistolar.



Will Artificial Intelligence Take Over the World?

#artificialintelligence

Have you ever seen a movie or show where artificial intelligence takes over the world? It's always portrayed as a terrifying scene. But, is it really possible for us to create something that could do this? Artificial intelligence (AI) is very much in the news these days. From AI taking over our jobs, to the possibility of AI warfare, people are starting to wonder if we should be worried.


Chord-Conditioned Melody Choralization with Controllable Harmonicity and Polyphonicity

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Melody choralization, i.e. generating a four-part chorale based on a user-given melody, has long been closely associated with J.S. Bach chorales. Previous neural network-based systems rarely focus on chorale generation conditioned on a chord progression, and none of them realised controllable melody choralization. To enable neural networks to learn the general principles of counterpoint from Bach's chorales, we first design a music representation that encoded chord symbols for chord conditioning. We then propose DeepChoir, a melody choralization system, which can generate a four-part chorale for a given melody conditioned on a chord progression. Furthermore, with the improved density sampling, a user can control the extent of harmonicity and polyphonicity for the chorale generated by DeepChoir. Experimental results reveal the effectiveness of our data representation and the controllability of DeepChoir over harmonicity and polyphonicity. The code and generated samples (chorales, folk songs and a symphony) of DeepChoir, and the dataset we use now are available at https://github.com/sander-wood/deepchoir.
