China said it attended a top-level ministerial meeting at the U.K. AI Safety Summit on Thursday, despite not being listed by Britain among the "like-minded" participants and not featuring in official handshakes or the family photograph. China's absence sparked questions because it participated in the first day of the two-day summit on the safety of "frontier" artificial intelligence, and Britain declined to say why Beijing was not among those joining the second day's senior meeting. China's delegate to the meeting, Vice Minister of Science and Technology Wu Zhaohui, was present on Thursday, his ministry said Friday. China's participation in the second-day ministerial meeting has not been previously reported.

Scientists at the Army Research Laboratory and Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute are teaching robots how to be better mission partners to soldiers -- starting with how to find their way with minimal human intervention. Given that autonomous vehicles have been navigating streets in many U.S. cities for over a year, that may seem like not that big a deal. But according to ARL researcher Maggie Wigness, the challenges facing military robots are much greater. Specifically, unlike the self-driving cars being developed by Google, Uber and others, military robots will be operating in complex environments that don't have the benefit of standardized markings like lanes, street signs, curbs and traffic lights. "Environments that we operate in are highly unstructured compared to [those for] self-driving cars," Wigness said.

Limited security resources prevent full security coverage at all times, which allows adversaries to observe and exploit patterns in selective patrolling or mon itoring; for example, they can plan an attack avoiding existing pa trols. Hence, randomized patrolling or monitoring is impor tant, but randomization must provide distinct weights to dif ferent actions based on their complex costs and benefits. To this end, this article describes a promising transition of the lat est in multiagent algorithms into a deployed application. In particular, it describes a software assistant agent called AR MOR (assistant for randomized monitoring over routes) that casts this patrolling and monitoring problem as a Bayesian Stackelberg game, allowing the agent to appropriately weigh the different actions in randomization, as well as uncertainty over adversary types. ARMOR combines two key features.

Anthony Levandowski makes an unlikely prophet. Dressed Silicon Valley-casual in jeans and flanked by a PR rep rather than cloaked acolytes, the engineer known for self-driving cars--and triggering a notorious lawsuit--could be unveiling his latest startup instead of laying the foundations for a new religion. But he is doing just that. Artificial intelligence has already inspired billion-dollar companies, far-reaching research programs, and scenarios of both transcendence and doom. Now Levandowski is creating its first church.

A global survey of more than 550 senior executives across 30 countries and territories reports that 91 percent of "iconic" companies -- those that maintain both the highest levels of customer experience (CX) satisfaction and have world-leading brand recognition -- deploy Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions to increase customer satisfaction, compared to 42 percent of companies in their fields overall. The new report from MIT Technology Review is sponsored by Genesys and called Getting to Iconic. It reveals iconic firms are more likely to recognize that automated AI tools are most effective when they supplement and extend the capabilities of their customer support team, rather than replace human investment. As so, 60 percent of survey respondents felt they had the right mix of "live" and automated customer communication channels, compared to only 26 percent of the poor performers and 40 percent overall. Furthermore, the report concludes that iconic companies are using artificial intelligence for more than just chatbots.

NEW DELHI: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi is headed to the United States where he is likely to address a gathering on Artificial Intelligence (AI), the science of making machines that think like humans. Gandhi, who recently returned from Norway, is gearing up for another offshore visit, this time to the Silicon Valley in the US to "expand his thoughts about artificial intelligence", party sources here said. A senior Congress leader said the idea was to bring back knowledge and implement it at the policy level in the Congress party's vision documents. The party is weighed down by anti-incumbency sentiments and infighting in the state unit in Himachal Pradesh.
