Two Paths for Digital Disability Law

Communications of the ACM

People with disabilities often cannot count on modern digital devices, software, and services to be accessible. Will streaming video platforms include closed captions for viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing? How will virtual assistants work for users with speech disabilities? Can websites be read aloud by text-to-speech engines for readers who are blind or visually impaired? How will smartphones be accessed by people with physical and mobility disabilities?


Landing AI on Networks: An equipment vendor viewpoint on Autonomous Driving Networks

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The tremendous achievements of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in computer vision, natural language processing, games and robotics, has extended the reach of the AI hype to other fields: in telecommunication networks, the long term vision is to let AI fully manage, and autonomously drive, all aspects of network operation. In this industry vision paper, we discuss challenges and opportunities of Autonomous Driving Network (ADN) driven by AI technologies. To understand how AI can be successfully landed in current and future networks, we start by outlining challenges that are specific to the networking domain, putting them in perspective with advances that AI has achieved in other fields. We then present a system view, clarifying how AI can be fitted in the network architecture. We finally discuss current achievements as well as future promises of AI in networks, mentioning a roadmap to avoid bumps in the road that leads to true large-scale deployment of AI technologies in networks.


Computers could revise past conclusions with AI

#artificialintelligence

To better automate reasoning, machines should ideally be able to systematically revise the view they have obtained about the world. Timotheus Kampik's dissertation work presents mathematical reasoning approaches that strike a balance between retaining consistency with previously drawn conclusions and rejecting them in face of overwhelming new evidence. When reasoning and when making decisions, humans are continuously revising what their view of the world is, by rejecting what they have previously considered true or desirable, and replacing it with an updated and ideally more useful perspective. Enabling machines to do so in a similar manner, but with logical precision, is a long-running line of artificial intelligence research. In his dissertation, Timotheus advances this line of research by devising reasoning approaches that balance retaining previously drawn conclusions for the sake of ensuring consistency and revising them to accommodate new compelling evidence.

5 Papers to Read on using Artificial Intelligence to Progress 5G technology

#artificialintelligence

Abstract: Digital twin (DT) technologies have emerged as a solution for real-time data-driven modeling of cyber physical systems (CPS) using the vast amount of data available by Internet of Things (IoT) networks. In this position paper, we elucidate unique characteristics and capabilities of a DT framework that enables realization of such promises as online learning of a physical environment, real-time monitoring of assets, Monte Carlo heuristic search for predictive prevention, on-policy, and off-policy reinforcement learning in real-time. We establish a conceptual layered architecture for a DT framework with decentralized implementation on cloud computing and enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) services for modeling, event detection, and decision-making processes. The DT framework separates the control functions, deployed as a system of logically centralized process, from the physical devices under control, much like software-defined networking (SDN) in fifth generation (5G) wireless networks. We discuss the moment of the DT framework in facilitating implementation of network-based control processes and its implications for critical infrastructure. To clarify the significance of DT in lowering the risk of development and deployment of innovative technologies on existing system, we discuss the application of implementing zero trust architecture (ZTA) as a necessary security framework in future data-driven communication networks.


Qualcomm Touts Eight AI "Firsts"

#artificialintelligence

Whenever people take photos or speak to a digital assistant using a mobile phone, they often don't realize that they just took advantage of Artificial Intelligence (AI). If they think of AI at all, it is typically in the context of Autonomous Vehicles or perhaps Facebook's (Meta's) massive data centers. While AI is becoming ubiquitous and distributed across edge devices and cloud servers, many challenges remain to realize the connected intelligent edge vision CEO Cristiano Amon has for AI to enable automated perception, reasoning, and action. For AI to enable the levels of automation and personalization Qualcomm AI Research VP Jilei Hou believes that AI hardware and software must become much smaller, faster, more efficient, lower power, and able to learn continuously at the edge in the real world. This provides the perfect complement to remote processing in the cloud, whose reach has been further advanced through Qualcomm's 5G technology.


Defining Artificial Intelligence, The Ericsson's Way - AI Summary

#artificialintelligence

AI is not anymore a tool of the media industry where it just serves to solve simple use cases with simple AI algorithms. "For example, in the communications sector, connecting everyone, connecting everything, everywhere, at any time, on demand, is an enormously complex task, with equally complex infrastructure and technology," says Todd Ashton(T.A), Head of Ericsson South and East Africa. T.A: As a multinational networking and telecommunications company, Artificial Intelligence is a vital skill domain and technology for creating business value in terms of improved performance, higher efficiency, enhanced customer experience as well as creating new business models and use cases for 5G, IoT and enterprises across Africa. AI and automation will help address the complexity of 5G networks, drive efficiencies and improve customer experience as well as open new revenue streams for communications service providers (CSPs). However, smarter, AI fueled networks will accelerate Africa's digital agenda, and drive the progress and prospects of 5G in Africa.
