China Wants to Regulate Its Artificial Intelligence Sector Without Crushing It

TIME - Tech

Beijing is poised to implement sweeping new regulations for artificial intelligence services this week, trying to balance state control of the technology with enough support that its companies can become viable global competitors. The government issued 24 guidelines that require platform providers to register their services and conduct a security review before they're brought to market. Seven agencies will take responsibility for oversight, including the Cyberspace Administration of China and the National Development and Reform Commission. The final regulations are less onerous than an original draft from April, but they show China, like Europe, moving ahead with government oversight of what may be the most promising -- and controversial -- technology of the last 30 years. The U.S., by contrast, has no legislation under serious consideration even after industry leaders warned that AI poses a "risk of extinction" and OpenAI's Sam Altman urged Congress in public hearings to get involved.

Dark data " is the glaring issue at hand; everybody knows it's there. However, undertakings would rather not address it. It's frequently viewed as "another person's concern," whether that is the IT, consistence, protection or lawful division. Dark Data has little worth if inappropriately made; it's unsafe and exorbitant to store, and every year that obligation just becomes bigger. Indeed, even the positive thinker concurs the expression "Dark Data " conveys an unfavorable undertone of a poisonous universe like in Star Wars, keen on annihilating the ton of good and splendid information.


Watch a Robot Peel a Banana Without Crushing It

#artificialintelligence

In tests, the robot was able to successfully peel a banana 57% of the time. The whole process takes less than 3 minutes. A machine learning system developed by researchers at Japan's University of Tokyo can train a robot to peel a banana without crushing it. The robot was trained on about 13 hours of data in which a human demonstrator peeled hundreds of bananas. The machine learning model maps out a trajectory that involves copying the human when it comes to broad movements not likely to damage the fruit.

Artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics are making some real money for stock investors, and beating the market. The Global X Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ) is up 30 percent this year and the ROBO Global Robotics and Automation Index (ROBO) is up 25 percent. "Between the tech exposure and the international exposure, that's helped the group pretty well," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank. The upward trend in robotics and artificial intelligence stocks is one proponents say, in the long-term, could top the so-called FANG stocks -- Facebook, Amazon.com, Each FANG stock has rallied 20 to 50 percent this year and the companies are increasingly focused on using technologies such as artificial intelligence, or AI, to develop their businesses.


Waymo Is Crushing The Field In Driverless Cars

Forbes - Tech

Imagine if you could pick between Uber drivers based on their driving experience. Would you hire an experienced driver who has logged hundreds of thousands of road miles or one who has driven just a few hundred miles? I'll bet you'd go with the experienced driver. Now apply the same question to driverless cars. The same logic applies: Go with experience. That's because the deep learning AI techniques used to train driverless cars depend on data--especially data that illuminates rare and dangerous "edge cases."


AI is Crushing It, But Why Now? - insideBIGDATA

#artificialintelligence

This is the year of artificial intelligence, when the technology came into its own for mainstream businesses. Many well-known names have committed to adding AI solutions to their product mix – General Electric is pushing its AI business called Predix, IBM runs ads featuring its Watson technology talking with Bob Dylan, and just recently CRM giant Saleforce announced it would be adding AI to it products. Its system, called Einstein, promises to provide insights into what sales leads to follow and what products to make next. These moves represent years of development and billions in investment. There are big pushes for AI in manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare and many other industry sectors.


Barbie's New Smart Home Is Crushing It So Hard

WIRED

The 2015 version of the Barbie Dreamhouse was pretty rad. It had a slot that let you use a phone as a TV screen, a bay window that flips down and becomes a pool, plug-and-play appliances, and a roomy three-level floorplan. It's hard to see how the next-gen BDH could improve, and savvy shoppers will likely scoff at the proposition of buying new real estate for their dolls after only a year. But slow your roll and bust out your wallet, because Mattel's new Barbie Hello Dreamhouse makes last year's version seem like a rat-infested hovel. This mini-mansion is dope AF.


Crushing the Billion Row Taxi Data Benchmark

#artificialintelligence

In the dataworld, there is a particular dataset, referred to as "the taxi dataset," that has been getting a disproportionate amount of attention lately. The dataset in question is comprised of staggering detail (full GPS, transaction type, passenger counts, timestamps) on 1.2 billion individual taxi, limo Uber trips from January 2009 through June 2015. Released by the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission, the dataset became a darling of the data science set while also emerging as a popular test of database query speed. One of the leaders on the database performance benchmarking side is Mark Litwintschik, a consultant, blogger and database fanatic from the UK. Mark has tested more than 14 different databases/configurations using the dataset since it was first released in late 2015.
