When Google revealed Project Gameface, the company was proud to show off a hands-free, AI-powered gaming mouse that, according to its announcement, "enables people to control a computer's cursor using their head movement and facial gestures." While this may not be the first AI-based gaming tool, it was certainly one of the first to put AI in the hands of players, rather than developers. The project was inspired by Lancy Carr, a quadriplegic video game streamer who utilizes a head-tracking mouse as part of his gaming setup. After his existing hardware was lost in a fire, Google stepped in to create an open source, highly configurable, low-cost alternative to expensive replacement hardware, powered by machine learning. While AI's broader existence is proving divisive, we set out to discover whether AI, when used for good, could be the future of gaming accessibility.

We are excited to bring Transform 2022 back in-person July 19 and virtually July 20 – 28. The process of writing a television show typically involves a writers room and a lot of time, as humans figure out the plot and the dialogue that makes a show work. For the cult classic Stargate science fiction franchise, which spanned three series (SG-1, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe), character and plot development was helmed by Stargate co-creator Brad Wright. In 2021, Wright publicly posted a message on Twitter asking if it was possible for AI to write an episode of Stargate that would appear on SciFi insider site The Companion. None other than Laurence Moroney, AI lead at Google, responded by picking up the gauntlet to try and prove what AI could do.–

Welcome to AI and Machine Learning for Coders, a book that I've been wanting to write for many years but that has only really become possible due to recent advances in machine learning (ML) and, in particular, TensorFlow. The goal of this book is to prepare you, as a coder, for many of the scenarios that you can address with machine learning, with the aim of equipping you to be an ML and AI developer without needing a PhD! I hope that you'll find it useful, and that it will empower you with the confidence to get started on this wonderful and rewarding journey. If you're interested in AI and ML, and you want to get up and running quickly with building models that learn from data, this book is for you. If you're interested in getting started with common AI and ML concepts--computer vision, natural language processing, sequence modeling, and more--and want to see how neural networks can be trained to solve problems in these spaces, I think you'll enjoy this book.
