Yet, Bessa argues that the most important aspect of the work is not the particular material that was created but the ability to reach untapped regions of the design space via machine learning. 'The important thing is that machine learning creates an opportunity to invert the design process by shifting from experimentally-guided investigations to computationally data-driven ones, even if the computer models are missing some information. The essential requisites are that'enough' data about the problem of interest is available, and that the data is sufficiently accurate.' Bessa is a strong proponent of data-driven research in mechanics and materials science. 'Data-driven science will revolutionize the way we reach new discoveries, and I can't wait to see what the future will bring us.'

Artificial intelligence and machine learning may be ideal for picking up the day-to-day tasks of running enterprises, but still fall flat when it comes to innovation or reacting to unforeseen or one-off events. While enterprise-grade AI is still a ways off, it's incumbent on business and IT leaders to start piloting and exploring the advantages AI potentially offers. That's the word coming out of a recent report from the MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future, which looked at AI as part of a broad range of changes sweeping the employment scene and workplace. "We are a long way from AI systems that can read the news, re-plan supply chains in response to anticipated events like Brexit or trade disputes, and adapt production tasks to new sources of parts and materials," state the report's authors, David Autor of the National Bureau of Economic Research, along with David Mindell and Elisabeth Reynolds, both with MIT. For starters, data – the fuel that propels AI decision-making – is not ready for the leap. Most successful AI initiatives to date are based on machine learning (ML) systems, which depend on large data sets.

Artificial Intelligence is a common topic nowadays among companies and start-ups. Still, not all the the ones affirming to deal with Ai are actually specialized. This is what shows a study by Mmc, a British investments society. According to the data, 40% of the start-ups affirm to be into AI business just to get more funds, between 15% and 50% more than those not into machine learning field. Using the definition in such inappropriate way, nevertheless, may cause confusion in the companies aiming to innovate, with risks for the real potential of Artificial Intelligence.

In conversations about the future of artificial intelligence (AI), the idea that machines will soon take over our whole lives and even eliminate jobs, increasing the numbers of people unemployed, usually comes into play. One of the biggest names in AI, Hinton is known as the godfather of AI for his pioneering work in neural networks. He is now professor of computer science at the University of Toronto and part of the Google Brain project. In his book, Architects of Intelligence: The Truth About AI from the People Building It, Martin Ford talks with Hinton about the economic and social ramifications of AI, and Hinton says that dramatically increasing productivity should be a good thing. According to Hinton, "People are looking at the technology as if the technological advances are the problem. The problem is in the social systems, and whether we're going to have a social system that shares fairly, or one that focuses all the improvement on the 1% and treats the rest of the people like dirt. That's nothing to do with technology."

Jordan Bitterman, CMO of IBM Watson Content & IoT Platform, explores in this seminar the power and promise of the new cognitive era and how it will enable marketers make better decisions, with more confidence and less risk. While AI is expected to create 15 million new jobs over the next 10 years, experts also anticipate 25 million jobs will be replaced by automation in that time period. Peter Spande, CRO of Business Insider, and four other panelists take part in a thoughtful debate about risks and rewards of the technology set to transform our lives, for better or worse. Right now, Artificial Intelligence only has the equivalent of a couple of hundred brain neurons as compared to the 100-billion of our brains.

Unfortunately, the new training platform created by OpenAI, a San Francisco-based nonprofit, is only available to AI -- so if you're human, you're out of luck. The new'college' is, in actuality, a training platform called Universe, whereby AI can interact with games, web browsers, protein folding software, and "transfer learning," which allows them to take what they've learned in one application and apply it to another. The AI engages via Virtual Network Computing, or VNC, which involves them sending simulated mouse and keyboard strokes. The Universe digital suite's home is in the OpenAI artificial intelligence learning center in San Francisco, where developers will begin "measuring and training AI agents." OpenAI is the non-profit brainchild of entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, who have made no secret of their ambitions to greatly accelerate the research and development of transhumanist technologies.
