Shield AI, a San Diego startup that's building artificial intelligence "pilots" for military aircraft and drones, has pulled in an additional $60 million in venture capital funding. The money is follow-on investment to a financing that Shield AI announced in June. It brings the total amount raised in the Series E round to $225 million -- made up of $150 million in equity and $75 million in debt. The additional capital came from the U.S. Innovative Technology Fund. Founded in 2015, Shield AI has raised just under $575 million since inception.

You will learn four important things. The first one is how to implement games using gym and how to play games for relaxation and having fun. The second one is that you will learn how to preprocess data in reinforcement learning tasks such as in computer games. For practical machine learning applications, you will spend a great deal of time understanding and refining data, which affects the performance of an AI system a lot. The third one is the deep Q-learning algorithm.

The probe into the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput seemingly took a diversion when a drug angle came to light. However, a new report doing the rounds has a friend of the late actor denying claims that Rajput was consuming drugs. In an interview on Republic TV, Denmark-based man claiming to be a friend of the actor, revealed that he met Sushant at a party and the two hit it off, talking about technology, coding and artificial intelligence. He claimed that even though they were at the party, Sushant "wasn't interested in drinking" and exressed his doubts about the actor consuming drugs.

Computer systems need to understand time, space and causality.

Artificial intelligence has a trust problem. We are relying on A.I. more and more, but it hasn't yet earned our confidence. Tesla cars driving in Autopilot mode, for example, have a troubling history of crashing into stopped vehicles. Amazon's facial recognition system works great much of the time, but when asked to compare the faces of all 535 members of Congress with 25,000 public arrest photos, it found 28 matches, when in reality there were none. A computer program designed to vet job applicants for Amazon was discovered to systematically discriminate against women.

Today's A.I. systems know surprisingly little about any of these concepts. Take the idea of time. We recently searched on Google for "Did George Washington own a computer?" None of Google's first 10 search results gave the correct answer. The results didn't even really address the question.

The Pentagon's research arm is looking beyond the human brain to build artificial intelligence. In a recent call for submissions, DARPA revealed that it's looking for ways to take the brains of'very small flying insects' and model their functions in AI robots. The proposal looks to pave the way for robots that are smaller, energy-efficient and easier to train. DARPA is looking beyond the human brain to build artificial intelligence. In a call for proposals, it revealed that it's looking for ways to take insect brains and model their functions in AI robots DARPA is looking for proposals that understand the sensory and nervous systems in miniature insects and can turn them into'prototype computational models.' These models would then be integrated in some type of hardware that emulates how insects think and behave, the agency explained.

In the global race to build artificial intelligence, it was a missed opportunity. Jeff Hawkins, a Silicon Valley veteran who spent the last decade exploring the mysteries of the human brain, arranged a meeting with DeepMind, the world's leading AI lab. Scientists at DeepMind, which is owned by Google's parent company, Alphabet, want to build machines that can do anything the brain can do. Hawkins runs a little company with one goal: figure out how the brain works and then reverse engineer it. The meeting, which had been set for April at DeepMind's offices in London, never happened.

From early on, we're taught that intelligence is inextricably tied to the brain. Brainpower is an informal synonym for intelligence -- and by extension, any discussion of aptitude and acumen uses the brain as a metaphor. Naturally, when technology progressed to the point where humans decided they wanted to replicate human intelligence in machines, the goal was to essentially emulate the brain in an artificial capacity. What if all this talk about creating "neural networks" and robotic brains is actually a misguided approach? What if, when it comes to advancing A.I., we ditched the metaphor of the brain in favor of something much smaller: the cell?
