Meyers Leonard slur incident prompts a question: What's a FaZe 'member?'

Washington Post - Technology News

FaZe Clan and other esports organizations have relied on celebrity investments and endorsements to reach nine figure valuations. They have also benefited from association with "members" of the team as well as "nonmembers." While NBA player Ben Simmons is both a member and investor, Leonard is only an investor. The rapper Offset is a member and investor, while rapper Lil Yachty is just a member. NBA players Jamal Murray and Josh Hart, and the performer Pitbull are investors, according to an email from a FaZe Clan representative.



Artificial intelligence raises new questions about purpose and scope of copyright

#artificialintelligence

In the not-too-distant future, an AI system could generate works with very minimal human input at all. In particular, there is a requirement for a work to be "original" meaning "skill, labour or judgement" must be expended by the author. There are various interpretations of what this could involve. However, it is not clear how it applies to an AI system in practice and whether a machine could meet the test. Specifically, the author (being defined as the person by whom the arrangements necessary for the creation of the work are undertaken) is no longer responsible for creative input and so authorship and creativity must be separated out.


Netflix Is Using AI And Big Data To Improve Their Business Performance - AI Summary

#artificialintelligence

Netflix is a hugely successful business at the moment as most of the world is battling the lockdowns with watching shows on Netflix. The second area where they use AI and Big Data is to recommend us new movies and new TV programs to watch. So, they show these little thumbnails with the titles, but the thumbnail could be anything any scene out of the movie, so they need to figure out which scene do I show you, and again what they're now doing is they're using machine learning to extract the thumbnail that the machines have learned that we will like best. The fourth area Netflix uses AI and Big Data in is in their streaming optimization, so when you sit at home, your broadband speed varies so and what they don't want to do is they want don't to lose quality. If this was a problem, AI would flag this up, so again, this has made this whole post-production process a lot more efficient and effective so those are the areas Netflix is using AI in Big Data which I think is pretty fascinating, they're doing very well as a business!

Coded Bias: New PBS Documentary Explores Gender & Racial Bias in AI

#artificialintelligence

An upcoming PBS documentary dives deep into the controversy surrounding bias in artificial intelligence (AI). Coded Bias explores MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini's shocking discovery that facial recognition does not see women and dark-skinned faces accurately. The 90-minute film covers her push for U.S. government legislation against bias in algorithms that are becoming increasingly prevalent in modern-day society. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Shalini Kantayya, Coded Bias will premiere on PBS and PBS video app on March 22. Kantayya tells the story of dynamic women leading the fight for the ethical use of AI. She profiles data scientists, mathematicians, ethicists, and everyday citizens from around the world who have been impacted by these disruptive technologies and are fighting to shed light on the impact of unconscious bias in artificial intelligence.


How AI enables reporters, photo-journalists and broadcasters to humanise content

#artificialintelligence

AI has played a role in breaking some of the biggest international news stories of recent years. A key example is the'Panama Papers' exposé, where machine learning helped an international team of researchers to identify loan agreements in more than 13 million records that were leaked to the press. Journalists were able to'follow the money', exposing the practices of offshore tax havens and the businesses taking advantage of tax loopholes. Machine learning also played a valuable role in the Implant Files investigation. Here, it sifted through reports sent to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and helped to uncover patient deaths potentially caused by faulty medical devices.
