Twilight Zone Between True and False

@machinelearnbot

Recently we read a lot about fake news, alternate facts and journalism lies. Companies like Facebook develop data science algorithms to detect these postings, based among other things on crowd sourcing (collective intelligence.) But can the data scientist, with her inquisitive mind and strong sense of numbers and probabilities, use her brain to assess how true a piece of information is? I am talking here about fuzzy logic, and human rather than artificial intelligence to determine the probabilities. Here is a recent, popular example: the Firefall in the Yosemite National Park (California), pictured below.


Will Facebook use AI to SPY on users?

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Facebook this week released a 6,000-word manifesto, detailing its plans for the future, including how it will use artificial intelligence. In a leaked early addition of the manifesto, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook hinted that the firm would use AI to spy on users, in a bid to'identify risks.' But mysteriously, in the final published version, that information has been removed, suggesting Zuckerberg decided to keep the invasive plans a secret. In a leaked early addition of the manifesto, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook hinted that the firm would use AI to spy on users, in a bid to'identify risks' In an early version of the manifesto given to Associated Press, Zuckerberg said: 'The long term promise of AI is that in addition to identifying risks more quickly and accurately than would have already happened, it may also identify risks that nobody would have flagged at all including terrorists planning attacks using private channels, people bullying someone too afraid to report it themselves, and other issues both local and global.' Instead, Facebook said instead of spying on people, the AI update would allow users to have more control over graphic content.


How AI is improving the way we use smartphones

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence, popularly referred to as AI, is no longer seen only in movies and TV series. Many of us are already taking advantage of it through mobile apps and smartphones. AI specifically refers to the enhanced ability that a piece of software may have, where it can understand specific information, add contextual knowledge to it and suggest responses based on that. For example, the suggestion about which content to view on YouTube has an element of AI working in the background. Available by default in many Android smartphones, Google Photos uses AI and machine learning to identify objects or human faces in a photo and club ones with common elements and the same faces into specific folders without the user's intervention.


Artificial intelligence pushes boundaries

#artificialintelligence

Obviously, it's artificial intelligence, but it is an intelligence we can use to help us determine what's useful in all of the big data being collected through the Internet of Things (IoT). And we can teach it to tell us what's important to investigate there, too. AI won't replace humans, but it will give us a huge boost. Paul Muller, vice president of strategic marketing at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, has a conversation with technology analyst Theo Priestley about AI, including what it is, how to use it, fears about it, and how it can help us long term. They talk about the myths around AI--such as it's a human replacement vehicle rather than a way to augment our work, or it's just software rather than hardware and software--and how artificial intelligence doesn't mean it's not intelligent and doesn't practice self-preservation.


Google's AI Duet lets you play piano with a robot - SiliconANGLE

#artificialintelligence

It has been more than half a year since Google Inc. first revealed a piano-playing artificial intelligence that can take a few notes and turn them into a song. Now the search giant has decided to share the experience with the world with its AI Duet web app. Yotam Mann is the musician and coder behind the new AI, which he created with help from Google's Magenta and Creative Labs teams. In a video, Mann explained the process behind the AI and how it manages to play along with new music on the fly. "Making music using code isn't a new thing at all, but machine learning gives us a different way to go about it," said Mann. "If I was trying to make AI Duet with more traditional programming, I'd have to write out lots of rules."


Inspiring new STEM-focused IMAX film, 'Dream Big' at Norwalk's Maritime Aquarium

#artificialintelligence

Soaring over the world's highest buildings and racing a solar-powered car across the desert may not be on your vacation itinerary this summer, but you can still see what such experiences might be like, thanks to the spectacular new IMAX film, "Dream Big: Engineering Our World." The movie takes audiences from Dubai to Australia, while sharing stirring stories about the impact engineers have on society. Narrated by Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges, it celebrates the inspiring work and people behind these engineering feats. Featured footage includes the Great Wall of China and the Golden Gate Bridge, not to mention an underwater robot developed by a team of students from an underprivileged high school in Phoenix. Made up primarily of Mexican immigrants, the robotics team entered its creation in a competition and succeeded against all odds.


In 'Fabricated City,' it's not clear where the game ends and the movie begins

Los Angeles Times

True to its English-language title, the South Korean action film "Fabricated City" is an amped-up video game vision of a revenge fantasy that's so preoccupied with switching gears that it neglects to provide viewers with any place to park their battered attention spans. Unemployed and unmotivated, Kwon Yu (Ji Chang-wook) is a hardcore gamer referred to as "Captain" by his teammates (heard but not seen), who are collectively known as Resurrection. But Kwon-yu lands in non-virtual hot water after returning a cellphone left in an Internet cafe to its female owner. He subsequently finds himself framed for her rape and murder and tossed into a maximum security prison where his tae kwon do background serves him well. It isn't long before he busts out, and, with some real-world assistance from Resurrection, proceeds to track down the identity of the actual killer.


Think Tank: Will AI Save Humanity?

#artificialintelligence

Machine-to-machine transactions will soon require AI marketing. There is a lot of fear surrounding artificial intelligence. Some are related to the horror perpetuated in dystopian sci-fi films while others have deep concerns over the impact on the job market. But I see the adaptation of AI as being just as significant as the discovery of fire or the first domestication of crops and animals. We no longer need so much time spent on "X," therefore we can evolve to "Y."
