Communication Re-Imagined with Emotion AI - ReadWrite

#artificialintelligence

There has long been a chasm between what we perceive artificial intelligence to be and what it can actually do. Our films, literature, and video game representations of "intelligent machines," depict AI as detached but highly intuitive interfaces. We will find communication re-imagined with emotion AI. As these artificial systems are being integrated into our commerce, entertainment, and logistics networks, we are witnessing emotional intelligence. These smarter systems have a better understanding of how humans feel and why they feel that way.


AI Can Now Create Artificial People - What Does That Mean For Humans?

#artificialintelligence

When DataGrid, Inc. announced it successfully developed an AI system capable of generating high-quality photorealistic Japanese faces, it was impressive. But now the company has gone even further. Its artificial intelligence (AI) system can now create not only faces and hair from a variety of ethnicities, but bodies that can move and wear any outfit. While these images are fictitious, they are incredibly photorealistic. AI Can Now Create Artificial People โ€“ What Does That Mean Humans?



The Terminology of Artificial Intelligence Part 2

We suggest that wise managers, unless they enjoy tautological discussions should avoid attempts to define what is or is not artificial intelligence.


The AI Text Generator That's Too Dangerous to Make Public

#artificialintelligence

In 2015, car-and-rocket man Elon Musk joined with influential startup backer Sam Altman to put artificial intelligence on a new, more open course. They cofounded a research institute called OpenAI to make new AI discoveries and give them away for the common good. Now, the institute's researchers are sufficiently worried by something they built that they won't release it to the public. The AI system that gave its creators pause was designed to learn the patterns of language. It does that very well--scoring better on some reading-comprehension tests than any other automated system.


Ctrl Shift Face Interview How Deepfakes Can Change Hollywood History Digital Trends

And one in which Matthew McConaughey took the Leo role in Titanic. And Saved by the Bell's Tiffani Thiessen played Rachel in Friends. The entertainment industry isn't exactly short on "what if?" scenarios in which actors came close to, but were ultimately passed over, playing iconic roles. For more than 99% of movie history, fans have been able to do little more than squirrel away this trivia for use in pop quizzes. That is until the arrival of deepfakes.


Now There Is An AI Model That Fights Against AI-Generated Fake News

#artificialintelligence

Grover's architecture is based on OpenAI's GPT-2, a powerful pre-training model. The training has been performed on randomly-sampled sequences from RealNews dataset and the Newspaper Python library has been used to extract the body and metadata from each article. The dataset used for building this model is called as RealNews which is a fairly large corpus of news articles from Common Crawl. For training the model, the researchers construct a large corpus of news articles with metadata from Common Crawl which includes 5,000 news domains indexed by Google News. News from Common Crawl from December 2016 through March 2019 were used as training data and the news articles published in April 2019 from the April 2019 were used as test data.


When Free Is not Free: Pavlov's Humans and Behavior Modification Empires

#artificialintelligence

A Behavior Modification Empire is an organization that establishes the means of human interaction via highly addictive technologies that elicit Pavlovian reactions to social rewards and punishments and then sells the right to manipulate participants to third-parties. Jaron Lanier, a Virtual Reality pioneer and important Internet luminary, begins a 2018 TED talk by referring to an early computer scientist named Norbert Wiener. Weiner wrote a book called "The Human Use of Human Beings," in which he envisioned a dystopian future governed by a computer system that would gather "data from people and [provide] feedback to those people in real time in order to put them . . . in a Skinner box, in a behaviorist system." One could imagine a global computer system where everybody has devices on them all the time, and the devices are giving them feedback based on what they did, and the whole population is subject to a degree of behavior modification. And such a society would be insane, could not survive, could not face its problems. Of course, Weiner's notion proved to be eerily prophetic, and now that it's happened, Lanier believes we have to figure out how to survive it.


Will Artificial Intelligence Screw Musicians the Way the Phonograph Screwed John Philip Sousa?

New technology sometimes makes the world around us look unrecognizable. But human nature--even over the centuries--remains remarkably familiar. Again and again, as we've researched the stories that go into these podcast episodes, we've seen that the past is full of hints about what's coming around the corner. We hope you'll join us as we reveal The Secret History of the Future.


1969 moon landing was a giant leap for moviemakers, too

The Japan Times

NEW YORK - In 1964, Stanley Kubrick, on the recommendation of the science-fiction author Arthur C. Clarke, bought a telescope. "He got this Questar and he attached one of his cameras to it," said Katharina Kubrick, the filmmaker's stepdaughter. "On a night where there was a lunar eclipse, he dragged us all out onto the balcony and we were able to see the moon like a big rubber ball. I don't think I've seen it as clearly since. He looked at it all the time."
