Humanity may still be years if not decades away from producing sentient artificial intelligence. But with the rise of machine-learning services in our smartphones and other devices, one type of narrow, specialized AI has become all the rage. And the research on this branch of AI is only accelerating. In fact, as more industries and policymakers awaken to the benefits of machine learning, two countries appear to be pulling away in the research race. The results will likely have significant implications for the future of AI.

With machine learning you just dump all your data into a fancy algorithm and everything gets sorted out. Analysts will tell you that they typically spend about 4/5s of a project munging data not analyzing it. And that percentage doesn't necessarily change when it comes to machine learning. To get big data and machine learning right it's critical to understand what type of analysis fits your data.

Neuroscience A new study has collected data about the brain activity of poker players. The study set out to record the levels of brain activity in poker players operating at different levels of competence: the beginner, the amateur and the professional. A study conducted by a London based behavioural research consultancy has collected some interesting data about the brain activity of poker players. The study set out to record the levels of brain activity in poker players operating at different levels of competence: the beginner, the amateur and the professional. Six players, two from each category, were observed playing forty minutes of Texas Hold'em poker.

Summary: With concepts of single-feature linear-regression, cost function, gradient descent (from Part 1), epoch, learn-rate, gradient descent variation (from Part 2) under our belt, we are ready to progress to multi-feature linear regression with TensorFlow (TF). If you are already familiar with matrices and multi-feature linear regression, skip to the end for the multi-feature Tensorflow code cheatsheet, or even skip this entire article. The premise of the previous articles was: given any house size (square meters/sqm), which is the feature, we want to predict the house price (), the outcome. In reality, any prediction relies on multiple features, so we advance from single-feature to 2-feature linear regression; we chose 2 features to keep visualization and comprehension simple, but the concept generalizes to any number of features. We introduce a new feature, 'Rooms' (number of units in the house).

What will happen as we enter the era of human augmentation, artificial intelligence and government-by-algorithm? James Barrat, author of Our Final Invention, said: "Coexisting safely and ethically with intelligent machines is the central challenge of the twenty-first century." A lot of folks are earnestly exploring the topic. "Will scientists soon be able to create supercomputers that can read a newspaper with understanding, or write a news story, or create novels, or even formulate laws?" asks J. Storrs Hall in Beyond AI: Creating the Conscience of the Machine (2007). "And if machine intelligence advances beyond human intelligence, will we need to start talking about a computer's intentions?" Sharing this concern, SpaceX/Tesla entrepreneur Elon Musk has joined with YCombinator founder Sam Altman to establish OpenAI, an endeavor that aims to keep artificial intelligence research – and its products – accountable by maximizing transparency and openness. Among the most-worried is Swiss author Gerd Leonhard, whose new book Technology Vs. Humanity: The Coming Clash Between Man and Machine, coins an interesting term, "androrithm," to contrast with the algorithms that are implemented in every digital calculating engine or computer.

Artificial intelligence, or "AI," is the current direction of technological innovation, but if the U.S. does not step up its game, another world power may lead the future. The number of journal articles mentioning "deep learning" or "deep neural networks" produced by China exceeds the number published about similar technological advances by the U.S. The same is true for cited publications, reveals a National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) report. The report's findings indicate that not only is China doing more AI research, but they are having a greater influence on this growing field. Chinese venture capitalists and tech giants like Baidu, a company commonly referred to as China's Google, is investing heavily in AI. For Baidu, major projects include driverless vehicles, search engine optimization, and improved speech recognition software.

Human beings have an uneasy relationship with robots. We're fascinated by the prospect of intelligent machines. At the same time, we're wary of the existential threat they pose, one emboldened by decades of Hollywood tropes. In the near-term, robots are supposed to pose a threat to our livelihood, with automation promising to replace human workers while the steady march of artificial intelligence puts a machine behind every fast food counter, toll booth, and steering wheel. The palm-sized robot, from San Francisco-based company Anki, is both a harmless toy and a bold refutation of that uneasy relationship so loved by film and television.

With the appearance of robotic financial advisers, self-driving cars and personal digital assistants come many unresolved problems. We have already experienced market crashes caused by intelligent trading software, accidents caused by self-driving cars and hate speech from chat-bots that turned racist. Today's narrowly focused artificial intelligence (AI) systems are good only at specific assigned tasks. Their failures are just a warning: Once humans develop general AI capable of accomplishing a much wider range of tasks, expressions of prejudice will be the least of our concerns. It is not easy to make a machine that can perceive, learn and synthesize information to accomplish a set of tasks.
