Tip: Seven recommendations for introducing artificial intelligence to your newsroom

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence is now commonly used in journalism for anything from combing through large datasets to writing stories. To help you prepare for the future, the Journalism AI team at Polis, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), put together a training module seven things to consider before adopting AI in your news organisation. "Keep in mind that this is not a manual for implementation," writes professor Charlie Beckett who leads Journalism AI. "The recommendations will help you reflect on your newsroom AI-readiness but they won't tell you how to do design a strategy. We link to more resources that might help you with that and we hope to produce more training resources ourselves in the near future." For more insights into the Journalism AI report, you can watch this three-minute video, as well as Charlie Beckett's presentation of the report at its launch event.


Machine Learning Basics with the K-Nearest Neighbors Algorithm

#artificialintelligence

The k-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm is a simple, easy-to-implement supervised machine learning algorithm that can be used to solve both classification and regression problems. A supervised machine learning algorithm (as opposed to an unsupervised machine learning algorithm) is one that relies on labeled input data to learn a function that produces an appropriate output when given new unlabeled data. Imagine a computer is a child, we are its supervisor (e.g. We will show the child several different pictures, some of which are pigs and the rest could be pictures of anything (cats, dogs, etc). When we see a pig, we shout "pig!"

r/learnpython - Should I start Machine Learning?

#artificialintelligence

So I've recently finished grokking algorithms (the book) among many others, and I'm curious if I should move on. I've learned about linked lists, trees, and algorithms. So basically I learned a good portion of data structures and algorithms, but I'm now going to Analysis of Data. I've learned a little about Pandas and I am about 3 tutorials away from machine learning. I remember about a year or two ago, I learn print("Hello, World") and instantly though it was time to do machine learning, but quickly realized I was mistaken. But now that I'm actually at that point, it doesn't seem right.


How smart tech could give architecture a boost

#artificialintelligence

Architects are waking up to a new way of working where artificial intelligence (AI) deals with many of the mundane tasks involved in building design. The profession faces a profound shift that will lead to new opportunities and the need for new skills, experts say. In October 2019, for instance, the New York-based Chilean design guru Sebastián Errázuriz said on Instagram that 90 percent of the work that architects do today could change. "You should be taking measures right now," he said. At present, he said, it takes two to three years for an architect to complete a project, so gaining experience is a slow process.


r/askphilosophy - Artificial Intelligence Versus Organic Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

When people discuss artificial intelligence that could be sentient or experience feelings there's always the discount of not being real feelings because we programmed the feelings, but if a computer based A.I. was advanced enough for independent thought and feelings what would it matter if they came from ones and zeroes, are we not as humans organically programmed to expereince feelings? Why is there a marked difference in our minds between the manufactured feelings of a machine versus the manufactured feelings of an organism?
