It's Norman: also known as the first psychopathic artificial intelligence, just unveiled by US researchers. The goal is to explain in layman's terms how algorithms are made, and to make people aware of AI's potential dangers. Norman "represents a case study on the dangers of Artificial Intelligence gone wrong when biased data is used in machine learning algorithms," according to the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Pinar Yanardag, Manuel Cebrian and Iyad Rahwan, part of an MIT team, added: "there is a central idea in machine learning: the data you use to teach a machine learning algorithm can significantly influence its behavior." "So when we talk about AI algorithms being biased or unfair, the culprit is often not the algorithm itself, but the biased data that was fed to it," they said via email.

And the way we use them in job adverts can dictate whether or not people bother to apply. This is a big problem if you're a business trying to recruit more women and ethnic minorities into your workforce. So can tech help remove these unconscious biases? A job description that uses the phrase "We're looking for someone to manage a team" may seem innocuous enough. But research has shown that the word "manage" encourages more men than women to apply for the role.

Having your father as a business partner is as good a testimony as any to the steady hand that is bound to help you as you seek to navigate life's transitions for success. Aghin Johnson had a crazy idea. He wanted to create a global music community by leveraging Artificial Intelligence. "The basic idea was to build a social community which connects over music. Just as there are smaller communities who share similar interests, my intention was to use music as the binding factor and build a social community around it," says Aghin.

The best way to learn data science is by doing it, and there's no other alternative . From this post, I am going to reflect my learning on how I developed a machine learning model, which can classify movies reviews as positive or negative, and how I embed this model to a Python Flask web application. The ultimate goal is to sail through an end to end project. I firmly believe at the end of this post, you'll be equipped with all the necessary skill that need to embed an ML model to a web application. I came across this end to project on the book, "Python Machine Learning: Machine Learning and Deep Learning with Python, scikit-learn, and TensorFlow, 2nd Edition"[1] by Sebastian Raschka and Vahid Mirjalili.

I'll never forget the time I watched the trailer for 300, the iconic fantasy war film from 2006 about King Leonidas of Sparta and his clash against the Persians with a heavily outnumbered army. As soon as I saw the scene where Leonidas, played by Gerard Butler, screamed "This is Sparta" at the top of his lungs and then kicked a dude down a deep concrete well, I knew the movie was going to be an instant classic. Less than a year after touring Egypt with Origins, Ubisoft is taking us to King Leonidas' world in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. The new game takes place in 431BC, right at the start of the Peloponnesian war between the competing cities of Sparta and Athens. As these two empires fight to establish broader power, your play as a young Spartan mercenary who goes on quest to help his people defeat the Athenians.

Stephen Piron is co-founder of Dessa, a Toronto-based AI company formerly known as DeepLearni.ng If you want to get an idea of the future of artificial intelligence, consider the internet mania of the late 1990s. I studied computer science at the University of Toronto in 1999 and had an intimate view of the heady days of the internet's hype. The internet and how it would change the world was on everyone's minds and professors were always quick to remind us teenage undergrads that we'd be the rock stars of our time. Google CEO Sundar Pichai speaks at the Google I/O conference in Mountain View, Calif., on Tuesday, May 8, 2018.

Well, that was a disappointment. Square Enix held its E3 showcase earlier today and it was, to put it mildly, underwhelming. If you were hoping for more information about Final Fantasy VII Remake, or the mysterious Avengers Project, sorry -- neither made the cut this year. A number of smaller releases were absent too, including Dragon Quest Builders 2, The World Ends With You: Final Remix, and Left Alive, a new apocalyptic shooter directed by Armored Core producer Toshifumi Nabeshima. So what did we get instead?

There's really no nice way to put this: In his new film, Zone Out, Silicon Valley star Thomas Middleditch makes you want to do just that. It's not simply that he talks about having sex with a jar of salsa, it's also that he looks absolutely ghastly. His face appears to flicker in and out of the head that houses it; his mouth, normally in a wry downturn, droops and then disappears. His co-star, Elisabeth Gray, doesn't fare much better: a mustache--someone else's--finds a home above her lips. The director of the film, who goes by "Benjamin," was not available for comment.

A Teesside tech firm is gearing up for huge growth as it prepares to lead the rise of the robots with the launch of an artificial intelligence system. Stokesley-based Applied Scientific Technologies is predicting a 10-fold increase in turnover to £4m within two years on the back of the AI system its directors say is at the "the cutting edge of cutting edge". The firm is currently preparing field trials that will see its robotic automated systems go into full production within months. Directors Jamie Marsay, Garry Lofthouse and Lee Raywood are targeting sales of 50 a year of the innovation, which is patent-pending, by 2020. Applied Scientific Technologies (AST) – winner of the Innovation Award at the North East Business Awards 2018 – only launched in May 2017 and already has a raft of blue chip firms as clients, with many more banging at the door for a robotic scientist its creators call The Hyve.
