Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. seeks a Director, AI & ML Data Science for the Digital Product, Platform & Strategy: Data Intelligence department. We are looking for a talented director of artificial intelligence and machine learning to grow and lead a team of AI researchers, engineers, and data scientists focused on the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to support internal customers across our studio. This individual and their team's responsibilities include but are not limited to the creation of deep neural networks, computer vision models, and signal processing models that will be applied to our audio and video content; models built upon our customer level data to generate 1:1 predictive audiences; recommendation engines to serve the right content to the right users; LTV and engagement models to identify who are our most valuable customers and how they will engage with our services; and natural language models to parse our extensive library of written content. The models, APIs built on top of the models (MLaaS), and results from these models will be shared with internal and external stakeholders across all levels, with the goal of improving how we create, market, and distribute our content at WB. This individual will also utilize their background in working with stakeholders at all levels to distill their results into clear and succinct explanations for their stakeholders.

Today, we're extremely happy to announce AWS DeepComposer, the world's first machine learning-enabled musical keyboard. Yes, you read that right. Machine learning (ML) requires quite a bit of math, computer science, code, and infrastructure. These topics are exceedingly important but to a lot of aspiring ML developers, they look overwhelming and sometimes, dare I say it, boring. To help everyone learn about practical ML and have fun doing it, we introduced several ML-powered devices.

What do you want to do exactly? Do you want to interview someone on Skype / video chat, or do you have a list of questions you could just post here for (multiple) people to answer? How much time do you expect it will take? What do you need from the professional? Do you want them to work in industry, or is it enough to be a professional (e.g. in academia or government)?

A new report finds that many publishers impressed by artificial intelligence generated writing and similar technologies are doing double-takes on its price tag. Essentially, 47% of key players in publishing surveyed say they like what they see, but they're uncertain that AI can deliver a solid return on investment. The irony, according to the researchers: Other evidence gleaned from the same survey shows even minimal investment in AI brings back significant sales increases for publishers. That additional investment coin could involve little more than hiring AI-savvy employees, or training existing employees in AI. "Those who have invested in artificial intelligence are happy with their experience and will continue to invest on all levels," the researchers observe. The study, "The Future Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Publishing Industry" -- released Gould Finch and Frankfurter Buchmesse -- is available for free download.

In a bid to tackle the spread of fake news and misleading videos created using artificial intelligence (AI) and bots, China has released new rules that ban online video and audio providers from using deep learning to produce fake news without a proper disclosure. Failing to provide a disclosure that the post in question was created with AI or VR technology is now a criminal offence, according to the Chinese government. The rules go into effect on January 1st, 2020, and will be enforced by the Cyberspace Administration of China, The Verge reported. The regulation comes about one-and-a-half months after California introduced legislation to make political deepfakes illegal, outlawing the creation or distribution of videos, images, or audio of politicians doctored to resemble real footage within 60 days of an election. The new regulation published said that both providers and users of online video news and audio services are not allowed to use new technologies such as deep learning and virtual reality to create, distribute and broadcast fake news, according to South China Morning Post.

BEIJING/SHANGHAI – Chinese regulators have announced new rules governing video and audio content online, including a ban on the publishing and distribution of "fake news" created with technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality. Any use of AI or virtual reality also needs to be clearly marked in a prominent manner and failure to follow the rules could be considered a criminal offense, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said on its website. The rules, effective Jan. 1, were published publicly on its website on Friday after being issued to online video and audio service providers last week. In particular, the CAC highlighted potential problems caused by deepfake technology, which uses AI to create hyper-realistic videos where a person appears to say or do something they did not. Deepfake technology could "endanger national security, disrupt social stability, disrupt social order and infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of others," according to a transcript of a press briefing published on the CAC's website.

Artificial Intelligence has already taken over our lives and transformed it for the good. The days are over when you could still debate whether AI will impact a certain industry and transform it like others. Because artificial intelligence has already penetrated every other industry that we know and continues to impact several others. It is already being used in several ways, while others are under research. The only question we can think about is, how much will AI take over an existing industry and change it for the good?

China has issued new rules banning online video and audio providers from using artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality technologies to produce "fake news". The regulation published on Friday by China's cyberspace authority said both providers and users of online video news and audio services were "not allowed" to use new technologies such as deep learning and virtual reality to create, distribute and broadcast "fake news". "Fake news" has been generalised to mean anything from a mistake to a parody or a deliberate misinterpretation of facts. The rules come into effect on January 1, 2020. Failure to follow them could be considered a criminal offence, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said, without offering details on punishments.
