It's the new badge of celebrity status that nobody wants. Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey and Kylie Jenner have all had their voices cloned by fraudsters. Online blaggers used artificial intelligence to fake the Tiggerish tones of Martin Lewis, the TV financial adviser. And this weekend David Attenborough described himself as "profoundly disturbed" to have discovered that his cloned voice had been used to deliver partisan US news bulletins. Now experts have warned that voice-cloning is outpacing the law as technologists hone previously clunky voice generators into models capable of emulating the subtlest pauses and breathing of human intonation.

I don't suppose you're the kind of person who, amid a pandemic and the Euros, generally spends Monday morning wondering about the latest ruminations of Judge James Boasberg of Washington, DC. I'm paid to know about these things, and I'd never heard of him. Until, that is, a fortnight ago, when he issued a legal opinion with such potentially profound implications for you, me, and the epoch into which we have stumbled that suddenly I took a rather close interest in this estimable man of law. The learned judge dismissed two anti-trust cases against Facebook, one from the Federal Trade Commission and another from an alliance of US states. They had argued that the social media giant is in effect a monopoly.

Artificial intelligence is undoubtedly making our lives easier in enormous ways. Artificial Intelligence is coming out as an industry analysis that improves the overall business operation and enhances each customer's experiences. These are the emerging technologies that serve a wide area network and somehow emphasize the creation of the intelligent machines that react accordingly and accelerate future growth. Many leading Artificial intelligence solution providers are coming out as the best-in-class services that easily attract the attention of millions. In 2020, more organizations will adopt digital intelligence technologies into their overarching digital transformation initiatives, as enterprises realize that these Artificial Intelligence Solution Providers illuminate paths to improved customer experience, reduce operating costs and sharpen competitive advantage.

To deliver pertinent results, AI must rely on large data sets and extensive databases, from which programs can learn and make correlations.

Give us your feedback Thank you for your feedback. Do grills have girlish associations? A study has revealed how an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm learnt to associate women with pictures of the kitchen, based on a set of photos where the people in the kitchen were more likely to be women. As it reviewed more than 100,000 labelled images from around the internet, its biased association became stronger than that shown by the data set -- amplifying rather than simply replicating bias. The work by the University of Virginia was one of several studies showing that machine-learning systems can easily pick up biases if their design and data sets are not carefully considered.

TECHNOLOGY-FUELED INNOVATION IS NOT AN ANOMALY, BUT RATHER A NEW REALITY. The ability of a company to both foresee and manage fast change increasingly dictates success in the marketplace and CART is seeing a growing number of retailers, wholesalers, and brand manufacturers diving into emerging technologies. The increasing pace of technology-fueled innovation is not an anomaly, but rather a new reality. With more than 45,000 users, the CART platform provides powerful insight into what technologies and innovation the retail industry is focused on. The second quarter of 2016 has seen a growing number of retail industry executives realize that the frenzy of technology-fueled innovation is not an anomaly, but rather a new reality.

One additional note: unlike the wall-of-equations that make up most machine learning papers, the IML literature is profoundly inviting and largely friendly to non-experts. I encourage you to dive into the original papers wherever a particular topic piques your interest. I've gathered links to all of the papers in Knox's syllabus here to make doing so especially convenient.
