AI²: Detecting Cyber-Attacks with Artificial Intelligence
In a new paper, researchers from CSAIL and the machine-learning start-up PatternEx have demonstrated an artificial-intelligence platform called "AI²" that can predict 85% of cyber-attacks, by continuously incorporating input from human experts. To predict attacks, AI² combs through data and detects suspicious activity by clustering the data into meaningful patterns using unsupervised machine-learning. It then presents this activity to human analysts who confirm which events are actual attacks, and incorporates that feedback into its models for the next set of data.

Google puts focus on AI and VR at I/O 2016 - Mobile World Live
Google used its I/O 2016 event to talk up its work in areas including machine learning and virtual reality, with head Sundar Pichai stating that "we are pushing ourselves really hard so that Google is evolving, and staying ahead of our users". A significant amount of time was dedicated to the growing importance of voice-driven services, with the executive stating that 20 per cent of queries from US mobile users are already made in this way. "Given how differently users are engaging with us, we want to push ourselves and deliver rich information in the context of mobile," he said. Driving this is Google Assistant, which it described as "conversational", and more like a context-aware two way dialogue. This, it said, is enabled by its natural language processing technology – "our ability to do conversational understanding is far ahead of what other assistants can do".

Can Artificial Intelligence Be Safe?
Rick Robinson is a writer and blogger, with a current'day job' focus on the tech industry and a particular interest in the interplay of tech-driven factors and business... Artificial intelligence (AI) is coming soon to a network near you. Limited forms of AI are already in use, and much more powerful applications are now in development. That means there's no better time to start thinking about the implications of AI on cybersecurity. Speculation about AI in the form of robots has been popular for generations, dating back well before pioneering digital computers to the giant electronic brains of the 1940s. From the very beginning, this speculation has included worries about the dangers that might be posed by malicious or mistaken robots.
The government explores artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) via predictive analytics is a game-changer. At last week's Kentucky Derby, an AI platform that had previously predicted the winners of the Oscars and Super Bowl predicted the Kentucky Derby superfecta. The AI platform predicted the first-, second-, third- and fourth-place horses at 540-1 odds, netting the technology's inventor Louis Rosenberg 10,842 on a 20 bet. How will this translate to the federal government? In addition, a new National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Subcommittee on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence was established to monitor state-of-the-art advances and technology milestones in AI and machine learning within the federal government.
How machine learning will transform your satnav - evo Connectivity
Before we start, for those not in the know, here's a brief explanation of what'machine learning' is. In simple terms, it is the use of algorithms that can iteratively learn from data, in turn enabling a computer to make predictions and adapt to new situations. This avoids the need for the computer to be explicitly programmed for each situation. We come across machine learning processes all the time. Amazon's'you might also like' is one example, as is the technology used in fraud protection.

The main objective of this thesis proposal is the exploration of advanced statistical and machine learning techniques for the processing of Big Data in medicine in order to identify novel relevant information for improved understanding of pathophysiological processes. To this aim, the notions of hierarchy and abstraction of deep architectures (i.e., deep learning) will be investigated. The developed techniques will be mainly applied to the research fields in our group which are the neurosciences (study of neurodegeneration and neural development in infants) and cardiology (cardiac function analysis). The project will involve the collaboration with clinical partners. The project will be conducted at the Department of Information & Communication Technologies of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), Barcelona, Spain, within the Simbiosys group (https://portal.upf.edu/web/simbiosys).
Episode 3: An introduction into Artificial Intelligence.
The founding father of the concept Artificial Intelligence is Alan Turing and he did believe in the development of artificial intelligence as an entity that outgrows humankind. The theoretical moment in time when artificial intelligence will have surpassed human intelligence is called Singularity and is often used by the church of AI. You have an interviewer, the'supposed' AI and another random person put in 3 separate rooms. They can communicate only via mail, fax, or chat (nothing verbal). The interviewer has a limited amount of time to ask questions at the other rooms.
An AI for every home
My hopes were high for some earth-shattering VR announcements from Google yesterday. As I watched the keynote on YouTube and sat through a series of announcements that, on the face of it, were rather underwhelming, I started to feel a little less hopeful. When the VR came, it was in the form of an announcement about a new name ('Daydream'), reference specs for VR ready handsets and headsets ('coming this fall') and a peek at the user interface, which looked interesting but somewhere south of what I can already get from Samsung Gear VR. The inclusion of a wiimote style controller was interesting though, and my mind went immediately to the possibility of using this in physical therapy and stroke-rehabilitation. While the future of VR is, in my opinion, very bright and nausea-free, it was the remainder of the keynote that got my neurons firing with possibilities.
