Watch: Google unveils new AI app to help people with speech impairments
Google is seeking volunteers for a new beta app called Project Relate, which aims to provide people with speech impairments with a voice assistant that can transcribe their speech in real time as well synthesize what they are saying. The app is part of Project Euphoria, which is a wider endeavor started in 2019 that's aimed at collecting data to be used for improving Google's AI algorithms when it comes to handling speech from people who "have difficulty being understood by others," such as those affected by neurological conditions. As for the Relate app, it has three key features. The Listen feature will transcribe a user's speech in real time, allowing them to copy and paste into other apps or show to other people. The Repeat feature will restate what the user is saying in a "clear synthesized voice," which Google hopes will aid face-to-face conversations and help when people with speech impairments want to speak a command to a smart home device.

Recommendation Architecture
That is a relatively simple summary of the overall explanation of recommendation architecture as a theory for higher cognition in the brain. However, it is not yet obvious in this explanation where we get general intelligence and consciousness. Why should we need to pay extra attention to these two features is of special interest. Not only are general intelligence and consciousness the two most sought after functions in artificial intelligence and related computational work, but there is good reason for it. It stands to reason that the implications of computationally instantiated general intelligence would be able to solve many of our toughest problems and more quickly than any human, or perhaps teams of people, could attempt.
Personalized multi-faceted trust modeling to determine trust links in social media and its potential for misinformation management
Parmentier, Alexandre, Cohen, Robin, Ma, Xueguang, Sahu, Gaurav, Chen, Queenie
In this paper, we present an approach for predicting trust links between peers in social media, one that is grounded in the artificial intelligence area of multiagent trust modeling. In particular, we propose a data-driven multi-faceted trust modeling which incorporates many distinct features for a comprehensive analysis. We focus on demonstrating how clustering of similar users enables a critical new functionality: supporting more personalized, and thus more accurate predictions for users. Illustrated in a trust-aware item recommendation task, we evaluate the proposed framework in the context of a large Yelp dataset. We then discuss how improving the detection of trusted relationships in social media can assist in supporting online users in their battle against the spread of misinformation and rumours, within a social networking environment which has recently exploded in popularity. We conclude with a reflection on a particularly vulnerable user base, older adults, in order to illustrate the value of reasoning about groups of users, looking to some future directions for integrating known preferences with insights gained through data analysis.

The Impact of AI on the Finance Industry
A race towards digitization is bringing a revolution in the Financial and FinTech sectors. At the core of this digitization lies the availability of a vast array of data (such as Big Data), advancements in affordable computing technologies, and the advent of intelligent technologies such as Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. AI has been around for nearly 70 years, its practicality and intelligence have increasing over time. Today, AI has become an integral part of the industrial landscape as well as the lives of common people. Examples of this can be seen in the voice assistants in smartphones, the use of AI robots in supply chain logistics, self-driving cars, movie recommendations on Netflix, and more.

Top 10 Benefits of Using Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a wide-ranging branch of computer science focused on building smart machines capable of identifying patterns, characteristics, and relationships within data and use this information to generate a prediction โ or form a judgement โ and then automatically perform a task. The rapid rise in the popularity of developing and adopting artificial intelligence solutions can be attributed to several factors, particularly data inundation, the need to make faster and better data-driven decisions, and the importance of automation in order to enable businesses to scale. AI is considered one of the central pillars to digital transformation and is becoming increasingly integrated into nearly every aspect of our lives, from mobile phones to banking and even how we are marketed to as an audience. Articles on artificial intelligence are often heavy on hype and technology jargon. In this article, we keep things simple and focus on 10 of the remarkable and defining benefits for how AI can help both people and businesses.
Facebook wants to change the Oversight Board's recommendation process
The Oversight Board has only been up and running for less than a year, but Facebook says it's already having trouble keeping up with the group's recommendations. The company says it wants to work with the Oversight Board to "improve the recommendation process," though it's not yet clear what those changes might entail. But it suggests Facebook is looking to shake up the way it deals with the independent body it created to oversee its content policies. In a new report detailing Facebook's dealings with the Oversight Board, the company notes that it's made significant changes as the result of the Oversight Board's recommendations. These changes include updates to how it handles hate speech and nudity, as well as how it determines "newsworthy" content.
