BBC Radio 4 - The Media Show, Do machines make the rights choices for children?
Algorithms are increasingly making choices for young people, from recommending new TV shows to the friends they meet. But when machines are so intelligent that they can make all these decisions, who is actually responsible? Andrea Catherwood hosts a debate at the BBC Blue Room annual conference with Anne Longfield, Children's Commissioner for England, Dr Nejra van Zalk, lecturer in psychology at Imperial College London, Hanna Adan, documentary maker and Neil Lawrence, DeepMind Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge.
AI as a Creation Engine
AI is poised to have an increasing influence on the way companies create new content, paving the way for new forms of human-machine collaboration. AI is maturing at varying rates around the world, with some organizations using these technologies--including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision--to support external and internal organizational capabilities. For media and entertainment companies and other content producers in particular, AI may also offer a startling range of possibilities for the creative process, enabling individuals and businesses to generate new content with minimized human input. In a global analysis based on Deloitte's most recent State of AI in the Enterprise survey, early adopters were asked to identify the primary benefits of implementing AI in their organizations.ยน Respondents say using AI to enhance existing products and services is their most sought-after externally focused benefit, with 43% ranking it in their top three, while 31% prioritize using it to optimize external processes. The top internally focused benefit, meanwhile, is optimizing business operations, with 41% placing it among their top three choices, followed by using AI to make better decisions, cited by 34% of respondents.
DRIVE Labs: Eliminating Collisions with Safety Force Field - NVIDIA Developer News Center
Safety Force Field (SFF) vehicle software is designed specifically for collision avoidance. It acts as an independent supervisor on the actions of the vehicle's primary planning and control system, which could be either human-driven or autonomous. Specifically, SFF performs real-time double-checks of the controls that were chosen by the primary system. If SFF deems the controls to be unsafe, it will veto and correct the primary system's decision. SFF is provably safe, in the sense that, if all road participants comply with SFF and the perception and vehicle controls are within expected design margins, then it can be mathematically proven that no collisions can occur.
