Machine Theory of Mind and the Structure of Human Values

de Font-Reaulx, Paul

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Value learning is a crucial aspect of safe and ethical AI. This is primarily pursued by methods inferring human values from behaviour. However, humans care about much more than we are able to demonstrate through our actions. Consequently, an AI must predict the rest of our seemingly complex values from a limited sample. I call this the value generalization problem. In this paper, I argue that human values have a generative rational structure and that this allows us to solve the value generalization problem. In particular, we can use Bayesian Theory of Mind models to infer human values not only from behaviour, but also from other values. This has been obscured by the widespread use of simple utility functions to represent human values. I conclude that developing generative value-to-value inference is a crucial component of achieving a scalable machine theory of mind.


'A certain danger lurks there': how the inventor of the first chatbot turned against AI

The Guardian

In his school's metalworking class, he learned to operate a lathe. The experience brought him out of his brain and into his body. About 70 years later, he looked back on the realisation prompted by this new skill: that intelligence "isn't just in the head but also in the arm, in the wrist, in the hand". Thus, at a young age, two concepts were in place that would later steer his career as a practitioner and critic of AI: on the one hand, an appreciation for the pleasures of abstraction; on the other, a suspicion of those pleasures as escapist, and a related understanding that human intelligence exists in the whole person and not in any one part. In 1941, Weizenbaum enrolled at the local public university.


Miriam: Exploiting Elastic Kernels for Real-time Multi-DNN Inference on Edge GPU

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Many applications such as autonomous driving and augmented reality, require the concurrent running of multiple deep neural networks (DNN) that poses different levels of real-time performance requirements. However, coordinating multiple DNN tasks with varying levels of criticality on edge GPUs remains an area of limited study. Unlike server-level GPUs, edge GPUs are resource-limited and lack hardware-level resource management mechanisms for avoiding resource contention. Therefore, we propose Miriam, a contention-aware task coordination framework for multi-DNN inference on edge GPU. Miriam consolidates two main components, an elastic-kernel generator, and a runtime dynamic kernel coordinator, to support mixed critical DNN inference. To evaluate Miriam, we build a new DNN inference benchmark based on CUDA with diverse representative DNN workloads. Experiments on two edge GPU platforms show that Miriam can increase system throughput by 92% while only incurring less than 10\% latency overhead for critical tasks, compared to state of art baselines.


DJI Encourage 3 Cinema Drone - Channel969

#artificialintelligence

Immediately, drone and digicam know-how chief DJI introduced the DJI Encourage 3, a full-frame 8K cinema drone designed for top-level film productions. Its built-in design contains a 161 ultra-wide FOV night-vision FPV and the O3 Professional transmission and management system. DJI's first and solely cinema-grade drone, the Encourage 3 helps each RTK-powered Waypoint Professional and omnidirectional sensing to conduct safer and extra correct flight missions. "The Encourage 3 is the professional-level aerial platform all filmmakers have been ready for," mentioned DJI Artistic Director Ferdinand Wolf. "It empowers customers to totally maximize the potential of any shot as they'll report in cinematic-grade picture high quality beforehand solely out there with massive and clunky digicam programs. We're wanting ahead to seeing how the Encourage 3 will push aerial cinematography to a totally new stage."


Teledyne FLIR New Drone SIRAS

Teledyne Technologies Inc. (NYSE:TDY) is one of the holdings in the AdvisorShares Drone Technology ETF [NYSE ARCA:UAV], the only ETF dedicated to the drone economy. The AdvisorShares Drone Technology ETF is a thematic investment strategy seeking to capture the growth opportunities in drones and autonomous vehicles (AV). AdvisorShares is a DRONELIFE sponsor." Teledyne FLIR is a global name in thermal and visible imaging. With SIRAS, Teledyne FLIR has equipped a reliable, user-friendly drone with their world-class imaging solutions, including visible and thermal cameras; and features designed to meet the security needs of public safety and government agencies – all with U.S.-based service and support. Product Manager Kelly Brodbeck explains that SIRAS was developed around the end user. "We maintain focus groups with end users all the time," he says. "We benefit from all of our contacts – we're constantly talking to people and looking for consistencies across their areas of expertise: public safety, oil and gas, industry." The decision not to use geofencing was the direct result of user feedback. "This is about giving the pilot control: for public safety in particular, users really don't want geofencing – that's just unacceptable.


Drone Delivery in Africa Zipline and Jumia

#artificialintelligence

Africa led the world in medical drone delivery. Now, instant logistics leader Zipline announced a partnership with African e-commerce platform Jumia that will see the integration of Zipline's delivery system with Jumia's distribution network for the deployment of automated, on-demand delivery for e-commerce in Africa. "Using the latest instant logistics technology will allow Jumia to offer our consumers on-demand delivery of the products they need – instantly," said Apoorva Kumar, EVP Jumia, Group COO. "Whether they're ordering electronics, fashion, health, and beauty, or other categories, Zipline's instant logistics system will provide fast and convenient access. This will support Jumia's commitment to sustainability and innovation and provide much-needed access to rural and remote areas where conventional delivery services have challenges." A trial period was conducted across a variety of use cases with a range of assorted products, covering up to 2,500km in testing.


Vantis UAS System Opens Mission and Community Ops - Channel969

#artificialintelligence

This previous Thursday noticed Vantis, North Dakota's statewide unmanned plane methods (UAS) system, formally rejoice the grand opening of its Mission and Community Operations Middle (MNOC) at GrandSky Enterprise and Aviation Park. The MNOC acts as Vantis' command middle and is crucial to the coordination of beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) flight operations. "That is the center of Vantis," mentioned Trevor Woods, govt director of the Northern Plains UAS Check Website (NPUASTS), which administers Vantis. "From this location, we have now the know-how to observe and management the distant infrastructure, enabling all the operation. The MNOC will likely be integral to coordinating protected, repeatable BVLOS flights throughout North Dakota, and scalable to bigger areas."
