OpenAI has published the text-generating AI it said was too dangerous to share

#artificialintelligence

The research lab OpenAI has released the full version of a text-generating AI system that experts warned could be used for malicious purposes. The institute originally announced the system, GPT-2, in February this year, but withheld the full version of the program out of fear it would be used to spread fake news, spam, and disinformation. Since then it's released smaller, less complex versions of GPT-2 and studied their reception. Others also replicated the work. In a blog post this week, OpenAI now says it's seen "no strong evidence of misuse" and has released the model in full.

Recommending 4 Billion Ideas to 250 Million Users in Real Time

#artificialintelligence

While most other recommender systems have a small pool of possible candidates (like 100,000 film titles on a movie review site), Pinterest has to recommend from a catalog of more than 4 billion ideas. To make it happen, we built Pixie, a flexible, graph-based system for making personalized recommendations in real-time.


A Mortgage Lender Uses AI to Expand Home Ownership Intel Newsroom

#artificialintelligence

When people talk about artificial intelligence and mortgages -- and they do, a sign of AI tackling more real-world problems -- they mostly refer to making the process less of a paper-heavy slog. Born of a unique tech startup builder called Entrepreneur First -- a "talent investor" that pairs up smart strangers and helps them develop whatever company idea they come up with -- Proportunity uses AI based on Intel technologies to find London properties that are poised to appreciate in value. The company then offers a sort of "bridge loan" for first-time buyers who can afford the monthly payments but don't have enough for the down payment that traditional lenders require. "We started with first-time buyers because this is a huge problem here in London," says Stefan Boronea, Proportunity co-founder and CTO. The company estimates that down payment requirements keep some 200,000 more would-be first-time buyers from joining the U.K. market today, compared with 2001.


OpenAI published the tool that writes disturbingly believable fake news

#artificialintelligence

In February, OpenAI announced that it had developed an algorithm that could write believable fake news and spam. Deciding that power was too dangerous to unleash, OpenAI planned a staged release so that it could offer pieces of the tech and analyze how it was used. Now, OpenAI says it has seen "no strong evidence of misuse," and this week, it published the full AI. The AI, GPT-2, was originally designed to answer questions, summarize stories and translate texts. But researchers came to fear that it could be used to pump out large volumes of misinformation.

Shaped by AI, the Future of Work Sees Soft Skills & Creativity as Essential

#artificialintelligence

And while we don't always know the full impact of such technological advancement, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) it's becoming increasingly clear that AI will disrupt nearly every industry in one way or another. While many people fear a future in which robots have eliminated human employees from the workforce, AI technology is not nearly that sophisticated yet. Sure, an autonomous train is already helping a company automate its mining operations in Australia, Google is making music with AI and a robot named Flippy has a job flipping burgers in Southern California, but the technology has quite a ways to go before it'll free us from all mundane and repetitive tasks. While experts argue whether AI will ultimately create more jobs than it destroys, we know it is already being used to help humans do their jobs better and augment the number of tasks they can handle concurrently. The technology has been around longer than most people realize.


Using GPT-2 to generate Pokรฉmon anime episodes

Ludicolo was a salsa master, he would teach Ash how to move like a god. He would make fun of Ash for being unable to move so quickly, and would even attack him for being weak. What follows is the story of someone using a ridiculously complex piece of technology just to make something goofy. The GPT-2 model, presented by OpenAI, was a game changer in AI generated text. So much so that the team behind the development of the model delayed it's public release so people could prepare for a world were things like fake news could be generated effortlessly and without much human intervention.


What would be the high paying future jobs for Data Scientists?

#artificialintelligence

Data science features significantly when you talk about high paying future jobs. To understand what's driving this trend, which experts say will only grow bigger with time, you have to know how the technology landscape has experienced tremendous growth and undergone a sea change over the last few years, thanks to a high degree of reliability on computer programs, data-based analysis, and digital technology. Working with huge sets of data and making data-driven decisions, in particular, have become a norm in most sectors -- from banks and fintech to transportation, IT, and more. After all, almost each interaction with technology has data at its core. Thus, be it your online purchase at marketplaces like Amazon, streaming recommendations for you on Netflix or Amazon Prime, your Facebook feed, or even the facial recognition necessary to sign into your phone, almost everything leverages data to perform certain operations.


Culture.trace Barbican

#artificialintelligence

Culture.trace in an experiment and public research engagement designed to demonstrate an alternative approach to AI, where humans are regarded with kindness, empathy and imagination rather than historical biases and stereotypes. The events will aim to demonstrate how technology, and the people it analyses, is most interesting when approached through a non-judgemental and positive lens. Over two days, you are invited to engage with a new inclusive AI tool, watch a documentary on AI Bias and learn about the affects of AI on minority communities. You will be asked to share your questions and thoughts surrounding AI as a display is built showcasing public contributions to the subject. On Friday 8 November there will be a Q&A with journalists, technologists and academics where you can join the debate.
