How a good Chatbot should behave?

#artificialintelligence

In the age of Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Slack and AI assistant (Cortana, Siri, Ok Google) we can finally communicate intelligently with our software. With growing Artificial Intelligence, Chatbots are helping us to find products, places, food and even solving customer service issues. Chatbots can convince you of remarkable things like the necessity of clicking a link or they are humans, not robots. Automation using bots allows companies to minimize their costs while still maintaining a high price point, thanks to the ease of use and quality of service. Brands capitalizing on digital experience are using chatbots to gain competitive advantage.


Sorry Robocop: AI security guards do NOT stop people from stealing

#artificialintelligence

Robots may not yet have the authority to influence their human masters, according to new research. The study stationed a cyborg guard beside a table of food marked with a'reserved' sign in a student common room. Researchers from New York-based Cornell University used a mObi robot manufactured by Bossa Nova in a simple test. While the robot is not designed to look particularly menacing or authoritative, it has cameras that enable it to'see' what people around it are doing. The behaviour of hundreds of students was captured by a hidden GoPro action camera, reports New Scientist. The results showed that a disappointing seven per cent snaffled reserved food from the table, despite the robot guard's presence.


Cornell University welcomes 12-year-old college freshman

#artificialintelligence

A 12-year-old who read The Lord Of The Rings aged five has become the youngest Cornell University freshman in the Ivy School's history. Jeremy Shuler was home-schooled by his parents - both aerospace engineers from Grand Prairie, Texas - and started reading books in English and Korean aged two. To help get him into Cornell, Jeremy's parents moved to Ithaca, where his father, Andy Shuler, took up a post at Lockheed Martin Upstate New York. A 12-year-old who started studying calculus aged 6 has become the youngest Cornell University freshman in the Ivy School's history With his bowl-cut hair, cherubic face and frequent happy laughter, Jeremy is clearly still a child despite his advanced intelligence. He swung in his chair while his parents, who he calls Mommy and Daddy, recounted his early years during an interview at the engineering school where his grandfather is a professor, his father got his doctorate and Jeremy is now an undergrad.


Baidu open-sources Python-driven machine learning framework

#artificialintelligence

Many of the latest machine learning and data science tools purport to be easy to work with compared to previous generations of such frameworks and libraries. Chinese search engine giant Baidu now has an open source project in the same vein: a machine learning system it claims is easier to train and use because it exposes its functions through Python libraries. PaddlePaddle -- "Paddle" stands for "PArallel Distributed Deep LEarning" -- was developed by Baidu to augment many of its own products with deep learning. Baidu touted PaddlePaddle's speech transcription in Chinese, either for transcribing broadcasts or as a speech-to-text system to replace keyboards in smartphones. The company claims it needed 20,000 hours of audio as training material to achieve these results with its framework.


Nvidia: Momentum, Momentum, Momentum

#artificialintelligence

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) was a PC graphics chip company who has matured into a specialized platform company who targets primarily four markets (Gaming, Professional Visualization, Data Center and Automotive), continuing to provide cutting edge visual computing solutions. The company consists of two reporting operating segments, GPU and Tegra Processor. While GPU remains the core strength of NVDA, the company's significant and consistent investment in research and development has been the key driver of sales that have grown from just over 4B in FY14 to an estimated 7B in FY17. NVDA remains the market leader in gaming with key growth contributions coming from professional visualization, deep learning and automotive. In gaming, only one third of the active GeForce users have upgraded to Maxwell with Pascal starting to ship in FQ2, meaning there is substantial scope for future uptake during an upgrade cycle.


Five innovations driving change in biopharma

#artificialintelligence

There's an old adage that goes, necessity is the mother of invention. This is certainly true in health care where market forces are spurring new innovations in biopharma. Recently, Deloitte published an analysis of some of the boldest breakthroughs likely to impact health care across the spectrum. In the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions' Top 10 health care innovations: Achieving more for less report, we surveyed leaders across the health care system on the innovations they believe will be transformative over the next decade. We define innovation as those activities or technologies that break performance constraints to attain a desired outcome in a way that genuinely pushes the envelope of change.


'Terminator' robots really COULD wipe out humanity

#artificialintelligence

Robotic weapons have become so advanced that top military experts in the US fear the plot of the sci-fi film'Terminator' could come true. Huge technological leaps forward in drones, artificial intelligence and autonomous weapon systems must be addressed before humanity is driven to extinction by mechanical overlords like in the 1984 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, according to Pentagon chiefs. Air Force General Paul Selva, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the US Defense Department, said so-called thinking weapons could lead to: "Robotic systems to do lethal harm... a Terminator without a conscience." When asked about robotic weapons able to make their own decisions, he said: "Our job is to defeat the enemy" but "it is governed by law and by convention." He says the military insists on keeping humans in the decision-making process to "inflict violence on the enemy". "That ethical boundary is the one we've draw a pretty fine line on.
