Advertising Algorithms Help Communication Network Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

The same technology that allows online advertisers to target consumers as we browse the web could eventually play a key role in communication network security โ€“ even at the national-defense level. An award-winning group of researchers published a study in IEEE Xplore saying that advertising algorithms--frequently used by search engines like Google and Yahoo--could help develop a machine-learning approach for navigating complex communication networks. In the past, it was relatively easy to both protect communication networks from attempted hacking and intercept (or jam) signals from other networks. These days, though, networks are anything but simple thanks to various factors such as mobile devices, sensing technologies, social networks, and others. As a result, understanding how these networks communicate is a challenge.


The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in Cyber Defense

#artificialintelligence

Cyberspace is an increasingly hostile environment. In 2015, a PwC study of U.S. organizations found that 79 percent of respondents had detected a security incident during the year. Today, malicious hackers continue to wage on business networks and systems. Their aim - to extract data to sell on the black market. Making use of the latest technology, these criminals exert huge pressure on businesses to defend its assets.



Cognitive or Creative?

Nf3: chess aficionados will recognize that unusual yet unique opening move of Gary Kasparov which he used to defeat Deep Blue in 1996, after losing the first game to the computer. Even as the debate on man versus machine superiority raged, Kasparov went on to win the series against the huge computing power pitted against him. A year later though, Deep Blue came back with a larger database, improved software and more CPU power to beat the then-greatest chess player in the world. The world saw this as the triumph of AI. A magic beyond all we do here", said Albus Dumbledore wiping his eyes.

This is a bunch of confused ideas about AI, crammed into a weird political ideology. He starts off by suggesting that AI is just the rich anthropomorphizing unknown technology.


Analytics Brief: Winning the cyber war with AI and cognitive computing

#artificialintelligence

The ongoing struggle between good and evil that characterizes the ongoing battles between cyber warriors and cyber criminals only grows more technologically complex. Hear what leading cybersecurity leaders have to say about the application of artificial intelligence and cognitive computing to help cybersecurity best practices stay at least one step ahead of cyber criminals.


VR Pioneer Chris Milk: Virtual Reality Will Mirror Life Like Nothing Else Before

#artificialintelligence

I don't think the future of VR looks like video games; I don't think it looks like cinematic VR; I think it looks like stories from our real lives. It's the most amazing afternoon you've ever had. For one person, it might be what we call a rom-com, for another it might be an action movie. For another, it might be something we don't have a movie genre preexisting for. It might be just exploring.

True'smart' technology - systems that can use data from many sources to learn and improve - are transforming everything from manufacturing and enterprise services to consumer goods and social media. The use of automation and artificial intelligence is at the heart of this transformation, but it brings with it a broad range of legal, regulatory and ethical challenges. With smart sensors and the'Internet of Things' providing the eyes and ears of these intelligent systems, controlling who holds data about you and what they use it for becomes more difficult. Who is liable for decisions made by autonomous systems - from injuries caused by self-driving cars to discrimination by automated systems used for credit checking on loans - is often far from clear cut.

Who is liable for decisions made by autonomous systems - from injuries caused by self-driving cars to discrimination by automated systems used for credit checking on loans - is often far from clear cut. We will consider how consumers, businesses operating these AIs and the vendors selling AI-driven products or licensing these systems each have a part to play in defining a new landscape for legal risk after the rise of the robots.


Why AI Technology Can't Handle the Truth

#artificialintelligence

Last month, Facebook's "Trending" tab featured Megyn Kelly as a topic, displaying hoax news items claiming she had been fired by Fox News. Many critics pointed out that the mistake occurred shortly after the social network decided to shed the editorial team in charge of overseeing trending topics. The company had gone almost entirely algorithmic with the feature, and the move had almost immediately failed. A Quartz postmortem ascribed the incident to an "inmates running the asylum" scenario. The algorithm that surfaced the news based its selection on Facebook users' activity, and for reasons of policy or practice human overseers had neglected to correct the mistake.
