How one filmmaker is using artificial intelligence to uncover surveillance of her Muslim community in Chicago

#artificialintelligence

Since she was a kid, Assia Boundaoui knew that she, her family and her neighbors were being watched. It was an open secret in her hometown of Bridgeview, a Chicago suburb home to a large Muslim and Arab population where for decades residents experienced government surveillance, including home visits by FBI agents. Using her training as a journalist and documentary filmmaker, Boudaoui sought out proof beginning in 2014 by interviewing community members and filing Freedom of Information requests for records on Operation Vulgar Betrayal, one of the largest pre-9/11 counterrorism probes conducted domestically in the United States and included the Bridgeview community. She also submitted hundreds of privacy waivers on behalf of people who were surveilled to the Department of Justice, requesting files on individuals who had experienced surveillance. When the FBI responded, ultimately saying it would take years to process 33,000 pages of records on the investigation, Boundaoui sued. In 2017, a federal judge ruled that she was entitled to expedited processing, ordering the FBI to release 3,500 pages from the Vulgar Betrayal file each month and to give priority to the sub files of individuals for whom privacy waivers were filed.


Ways AI projects are changing your life right now, in 2018

#artificialintelligence

Imagine: in 2001 Steven Spielberg released his science fiction movie called "Artificial Intelligence". Artificial intelligence programming is one of the hottest topics in the tech world today, and many influencers, from late, great Stephen Hawking to increasingly popular Elon Musk, both embrace the achievements of AI projects and warn us about the possible implications. So how does this new technology influence the world around us? Should you be worried that some AI robot will steal your job any time soon? Both academic and industrial researchers have put a lot of effort into creating adaptable smart machines for all sorts of industrial processes. Many startups have caught the trend and are beginning to develop reinforcement learning algorithms for industrial robotics.


How Neural Networks Can See What We're Doing Through Walls

#artificialintelligence

Humans can spot patterns of activity, but we can't see through walls. Advanced neural networks that use radio wave imaging to see have the exact opposite problem. Now, a new technique developed by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology is helping the neural networks see the world a little more clearly. The new method uses radio waves to train a neural network to spot patterns of activity that can't be viewed in visible light, according to a paper, titled "Making the Invisible Visible: Action Recognition Through Walls and Occlusions," recently posted to the preprint server arXiv. The researchers say the tech is especially helpful in difficult conditions, such as when someone is obscured in darkness or fog or around a corner.


r/artificial - How AI-Generated Writing Works: A Deep Dive

#artificialintelligence

With this article, author Keith Moehring, vice president, Strategic Growth, PR 20/20, offers an excellent, in-depth look at how AI-generated writing works. It's a step-by-step guide on how to get started using AI-generated writing for public relations, marketing and similar endeavors in content generation. "Today, instead of three-to-five hours, reports take us 10 minutes to write," Moehring says. "The reports are delivered on the first business day of the month. And the quality is consistent across all accounts. "It's been a huge win for our agency," Moehring says.
