Just one minute of video typically takes several hours of editing -- but Stanford and Adobe researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) program that partially automates the editing process, while still giving the user creative control over the final result. The program starts by organizing all of the footage, which is often from multiple takes and camera angles. Those clips are matched to the script, so it's easy to find several video options for each line of dialogue. The program then works to recognize exactly what is inside those clips. Using facial recognition alongside emotion recognition and other computational imaging effects, the program determines what is in each frame.

Machine learning is definitely VERY cool, much like virtual reality or a touch bar on your keyboard. But there is a big difference between cool and useful. For me, something is useful if it solves a problem, saves me time, or saves me money. Usually, those three things are connected, and relate to a grander idea; Return on Investment. There has been some astonishing leaps forward in artificial intelligence and machine learning, but none of it is going to matter if it doesn't offer a return on your investment.

Facebook is due to start hiding posts from people who spam users' news feed with clickbait, sensationalised and misinformative articles. In a statement, the social media giant said it was making the update "to reduce low quality links" in users' news feed. Facebook said it carried out research which showed that a small group of users were "routinely sharing vast amounts of public posts per day", which was effectively spamming people's feeds. The study showed that the same people, who were sharing vast amounts of public posts, were also sharing low quality content. As a result of the research, Facebook said it would "deprioritise" posts being shared from those accounts.

A leading futurist is urging Kiwi companies to prepare for a tech-transformed future where machines have replaced many of today's jobs. This might mean a robot tractor repairing a fence line, a robotic plumber fixing a toilet, artificial intelligence scanning and approving a contract, a holographic projector can let you visit any place in the world - or even a drone delivering a coffee made by an automatic barista. The call comes as a new report, launched today to mark the start of Techweek NZ, has revealed nearly half of all surveyed small and medium businesses in New Zealand expect to see "significant" disruption from technology within the next decade. Yet the findings of the MYOB Future of Business Report: The Age of Change showed two thirds were adopting a "wait-and-see approach" to change. The company's chief technical advisor Simon Raik-Allen said although businesses were expecting tech-driven change to come quickly, it was less clear how well prepared they'll be for it.

The recent surge in interest in ethics in artificial intelligence may leave many educators wondering how to address moral, ethical, and philosophical issues in their AI courses. As instructors we want to develop curriculum that not only prepares students to be artificial intelligence practitioners, but also to understand the moral, ethical, and philosophical impacts that artificial intelligence will have on society. In this article we provide practical case studies and links to resources for use by AI educators. We also provide concrete suggestions on how to integrate AI ethics into a general artificial intelligence course and how to teach a stand-alone artificial intelligence ethics course.

Machine learning is rapidly becoming a buzzword in the field of online marketing. This buzz is well-deserved as the efficacy of machine learning increases at a remarkable rate. Companies across industries are finding new ways to optimize this technology to drive consumer relationships and revenue. Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that is beneficial to both consumers and businesses. While you may have seen artificial intelligence in science fiction movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, now it's become a reality.

Twitter is exploring the idea of building a fake news button, a new report says. The feature is currently said to be in "a prototype phase", but could roll out in the future as a convenient way for users to stop the spread of false stories. How it would work isn't yet clear, but anonymous sources familiar with the plans say a fake news button could sit next to individual tweets. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

The company drew accolades for its fast growth, but tensions simmered inside the operation. The company drew accolades for its fast growth, but tensions simmered inside the operation. On its ascent to becoming the nation's fastest-growing start-up, Loot Crate Inc. fostered a workplace in which employees warred with Nerf guns, proudly brandished Captain America socks and chanted the company's name like a rally cry. But by last summer, when the Los Angeles firm landed on the cover of Inc. magazine for its stupendous expansion, the enthusiasm had been zapped. Last month, two senior executives came an eyelash away from fighting, not with foam darts, but with fists.
