How the Microsoft Tay chatbot debacle could have been prevented with better AI - TechRepublic
On March 23, in an effort to appeal to a prime social media demographic, 18-24 year-old women, Microsoft launched a teen-girl-inspired chatbot named Tay. Less than a day later, the bot was swiftly removed from the site after tweeting things like "i fucking hate feminists"--and that's one of the tamer messages. In 2015, GE inaugurated a new, Multi-Modal manufacturing facility in Chakan, India. If the company's ambitions for the space are realized, it could drive a massive change in global manufacturing. But while the quick denigration of Tay's conversations may have been unexpected for Microsoft, most AI experts agree that it was inevitable.
How one AI security system combines humans and machine learning to detect cyberthreats - TechRepublic
The risk of cyberattacks is one of the most dangerous threats facing businesses today. And while new versions of attacks are constantly being born, teams of analysts are rushing to keep up with the latest risks. While many detection systems rely primarily on machine learning for catching attackers, a new AI system at PatternEx depends on human analysts as a vital part of their system of supervised machine learning. In 2015, GE inaugurated a new, Multi-Modal manufacturing facility in Chakan, India. If the company's ambitions for the space are realized, it could drive a massive change in global manufacturing.
Study Shows Touching a Humanoid Robot Elicits Arousal In Humans
There's a point on the Uncanny Valley when a humanoid robot turns from something "friendly" into something terrifying. An example of a robot that would naturally register as non-threatening would be Star Wars' C-3PO. We can still differentiate between computer and human at that level. It's familiar to us, but we know for a fact that it's non-human. Even though we see these robots in such a way, is it possible that we could associate them with a deeper emotional response?
IBM's brain-inspired chip TrueNorth changes how computers 'think,' but experts question its purpose - TechRepublic
At the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, scientists have begun testing IBM's TrueNorth computer chip--a brain-inspired mega chip IBM deems "the largest neurosynaptic chip" to date. IBM's TrueNorth is the first of its kind. A collaboration between IBM and Cornell University via the DARPA SyNAPSE Program, which was granted 100 million in public funding, the idea for the chip was conceived in 2004. In 2015, GE inaugurated a new, Multi-Modal manufacturing facility in Chakan, India. If the company's ambitions for the space are realized, it could drive a massive change in global manufacturing.
Create a Smarter Home with Alexa - Amazon Apps & Games Developer Portal
The Smart Home Skill API is a new addition to the Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) that enables developers to add capabilities, or skills, to Alexa. Alexa provides a set of built-in smart home capabilities. Examples of these skills include the ability to turn on the lights or turn up the heat, among others. Customers can access these new abilities by asking Alexa questions or making requests. Delight your customers by enabling them to control connected smart home devices via voice.
Chinese Robot-Monk Proves That Not All Artificial Intelligence is Evil / Sputnik International
A robo-monk called "Xianer" became an internet sensation in China after being shown on the country's internet, the country's People's Daily newspaper reported. The robot monk can talk to humans and answer some basic questions on Buddhist dharma. He was developed by the Buddhist monks of Beijing's Longquan temple. There is currently only one robot monk, with no plans for mass production, according to the newspaper. "After all, this is not a commercial endeavor. We made Xianer to preach Buddhist doctrines in a modern way," temple director Master Xianfan told People's Daily.
Experts caution self-driving cars aren't ready for roads
Self-driving cars are more likely to be a threat than a boon to public safety because of unresolved technical issues, engineers and safety advocates told the government Friday, countering a push by innovators for expedited government approval. Even a trade association for automakers cautioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at a public meeting that a slower, more deliberative approach may be needed than the agency's plan to provide in six months federal guidance for deploying the vehicles on roadways. There are risks to deviating from the government's traditional process of issuing regulations and standards, Paul Scullion, safety manager at the Association of Global Automakers, told a public meeting on self-driving cars hosted by NHTSA. Issuing new regulations takes an average of eight years, NHTSA has said. "While this process is often time-consuming, these procedural safeguards are in place for valid reasons," Scullion said.
A quick introduction to machine learning in R with caret - SHARP SIGHT LABS
If you've been using R for a while, and you've been working with basic data visualization and data exploration techniques, the next logical step is to start learning some machine learning. To help you begin learning about machine learning in R, I'm going to introduce you to an R package: the caret package. We'll build a very simple machine learning model as a way to learn some of caret's basic syntax and functionality. But before diving into caret, let's quickly discuss what machine learning is and why we use it. Machine learning is the study of data-driven, computational methods for making inferences and predictions. Without going into extreme depth here, let's unpack that by looking at an example.
