DeepMind creates 'imaginative' AI that can create and plan
Computers are excellent problem solvers that can perform calculations at rates far in excess of the human brain. However, humans retain the upper hand in creativity and imagination. We can reason with ourselves, develop plans and think of abstract concepts that can't be defined. In a blog post this week, DeepMind said it has been able to develop an AI that can "imagine" and "reason about" the future. The company added it has seen "tremendous results" with the system by giving AI agents the ability to interpret their internal simulations. Handing the agent introspection abilities gives it the ability of questioning its own actions, in the same way humans do.
Generator Reversal
Kilcher, Yannic, Lucchi, Aurélien, Hofmann, Thomas
We consider the problem of training generative models with deep neural networks as generators, i.e. to map latent codes to data points. Whereas the dominant paradigm combines simple priors over codes with complex deterministic models, we propose instead to use more flexible code distributions. These distributions are estimated non-parametrically by reversing the generator map during training. The benefits include: more powerful generative models, better modeling of latent structure and explicit control of the degree of generalization.

Here's How Disney is Implementing Artificial Intelligence
DIS is known for its box office hits: Beauty and the Beast, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and Captain America: Civil War, just to name a few. As one of the biggest media conglomerates in the world, Disney is looking to better understand its moviegoing audience so that its upcoming movie line-up can continue to be moneymakers and crowd pleasers. Disney hopes to do this through artificial intelligence (AI) and facial recognition technology, using deep learning techniques to track the facial expressions of an audience watching a movie in order to gauge any emotional reaction to it. Called "factorized variational autoencoders," or FVAEs, the researchers said the technology works so well that after observing an audience member's face for just 10 minutes, it can predict how the person will react to the rest of the movie. The FVAEs go on to then recognize many facial expressions from movie viewers on their own, like smiles and laughter, and can make connections between different viewers to see if a particular movie is getting a wanted reaction at the right place and time.
Spotlight: Should we worry about AI? - Xinhua
South Korean professional Go player Lee Sedol is seen on the screen during the Google DeepMind Challenge Match against Google's artificial intelligence program, AlphaGo, in Seoul, South Korea, March 9, 2016. Lee Sedol lost the first match. LOS ANGELES, July 27 (Xinhua) -- The war between tech titans has begun. Some are worried about what artificial intelligence (AI) will mean for humanity, calling for slowing down the process of building it, while others are pretty optimistic. For years, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has been famous for his skeptical attitude towards AI and suggested it could be dangerous to the future of the human race.
5 Things You Should Know Before You Read ANOTHER AI Article - The Sociable
It's hard keep track of the kind of things computers are capable of doing, or are supposedly going to be able to do by the year twenty-twenty-something. But despite the AI hype there are a few ideas which will help keep one's feet on the ground. Not even the developers who create it. The whole point of machine learning, deep learning and AI, is you accept that the computer can do it better than you can. So you program it with a set of rules which should operate like boundaries, they give the computer a sphere within which to operate.
AI: Doomsday or heyday? (via Passle)
As two of the world's most well-known business leaders lock horns on the topic of AI, the technology continues to evolve at a staggeringly unabated pace. Yesterday, Google's DeepMind announced it had created an AI with'imagination', making further advancements towards replicating the complex human functionalities which make us so individual. Over the years, advancements in technology have always caused concern, outcry and resistance. In 50 years' time we'll either be looking back at Musk and Zuckerberg's passive aggressive exchange of words from a post-apocalyptic world that's been savaged by robots, or one where we're reaping the many rewards that AI advancements have enabled.

A champion Go player scored his first win over a Go-playing computer program on Sunday after losing three straight times in the ancient Chinese board game, saying he finally found weaknesses in the software.
Google creates AI that can make its own plans and envisage consequences of its actions
Google's artificial intelligence division is developing AI that can make its own plans. DeepMind says its "Imagination-Augmented Agents" can "imagine" the possible consequences of their actions, and interpret those simulations. They can then make the right decision for what it is they want to achieve. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.
