Students to use artificial intelligence to program self-driving cars
Students at the Pearl Technology/ Richwoods Township STEM Academy had the opportunity to learn from, and operate cars of the future. The program focuses in on autonomous 1/18th- scale cars developed by Amazon Web Services. The cars- called AWS DeepRacers– learn through rewards and students' controls. It's a platform that only some engineers and developers have had an opportunity to experience. "In my day we didn't have these opportunities, but when you see kids that are fifth through eighth grade actually teaching cars how to drive themselves and that their thought process can get wrapped around artificial intelligence, it's an amazing thing to watch," said Dave Johnson, President of Pearl Technology.

Facebook Unveils Plans For Its Own Cryptocurrency
To be sure, recent history reminds us that many big Facebook announcements never really take off. Two years ago, for instance, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised that "augmented reality," in which phones and other devices project digital images into real-world surroundings, would be a major focus for the company. Such AR applications remain all but invisible today. Same goes for the online shopping chatbots that Zuckerberg unveiled a year earlier, saying they would revolutionize e-commerce in its Messenger app.
Using Deep Neural Networks to make YouTube Recommendations
The recommendation system they designed has two stages. Candidate generation network takes events from users YouTube history. This can only provide broad personalization using collaborative filtering. These users are then compared by identifiers such as the number of videos watched, demographic information and search query tokens. The ranking network operates a little differently.
To detect fake news, this AI first learned to write it – TechCrunch
One of the biggest problems in media today is so-called "fake news," which is so highly pernicious in part because it superficially resembles the real thing. AI tools promise to help identify it, but in order for it to do so, researchers have found that the best way is for that AI to learn to create fake news itself -- a double-edged sword, though perhaps not as dangerous as it sounds. Grover is a new system created by the University of Washington and Allen Institute for AI (AI2) computer scientists that is extremely adept at writing convincing fake news on myriad topics and as many styles -- and as a direct consequence is also no slouch at spotting it. The paper describing the model is available here. The idea of a fake news generator isn't new -- in fact, OpenAI made a splash recently by announcing that its own text-generating AI was too dangerous to release publicly. But Grover's creators believe we'll only get better at fighting generated fake news by putting the tools to create it out there to be studied.
