UNESCO chief says US plans to rejoin in July

Al Jazeera

The United Nations' cultural and scientific agency UNESCO has announced that the United States plans to rejoin – and pay more than $600m in back dues – after a decade-long dispute sparked by the organisation's move to include Palestine as a member. UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay informed ambassadors of the member states of the US decision in a special meeting on Monday. US officials say the decision to return was motivated by concerns that China is filling the gap left by the US in UNESCO policymaking, notably in setting standards for artificial intelligence and technology education around the world. US Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources Richard Verma submitted a letter last week to Azoulay formalising the plan. The proposed plan to rejoin in 2023 would be submitted to the General Conference of UNESCO Member States for final approval.


ChatGPT Crowns Clarence Thomas As Champion Of Gay Rights In Feedback Loop Of Stupid - Above the LawAbove the Law

Everyone is chattering about ChatGPT. Can it pass the bar exam? No, though it performs well on some sections. Which should force a serious reevaluation of the test's ultimate value to the profession, but instead will convince bar examiners to introduce cavity searches. And, as The Onion points out, ChatGPT was as depressed to take the test as the rest of us.

Four Ways to Add Active Learning to Computing Courses

Communications of the ACM

Undergraduate computing classes typically deliver content through passive lectures and require students to write code from scratch. However, students do not always pay attention in lecture and writing code from scratch can be overwhelming for novice students. Students report feeling frustrated when they cannot figure out what is wrong with their code or wait hours to get help from instructional staff. Students from groups that have been historically marginalized are more at risk of failure in introductory courses since they tend to have less prior programming experience. How can we help students succeed in programming courses, especially those without prior programming experience?


Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Occupations: Comparative Perspectives from the US and the UK

#artificialintelligence

Will robots take over our jobs? This Cornell University and King's College London collaboration examines how artificial intelligence (AI) has influenced major knowledge-intensive services sectors, such as telecommunications and health care -- and how governments, employers and workers have responded to the challenges that smart technologies pose for the world of work. Taking the United States and the United Kingdom as our case studies, we will explore a wide range of emerging issues and countervailing forces (e.g., public policies, professional associations, vocational training systems, licensing bodies and laws, unions and labor market regulation). The study aims to be the first to systematically map these issues in the United States and the United Kingdom, with the goal of launching a mixed-methods project that covers a broader set of country cases. In so doing, the collaboration leverages the interdisciplinary expertise of our institutions to inform policy debates at the intersection of AI and work.


What is Data Science? History, Lifecycle, Prerequisites, Careers, Applications, Use cases - Big Data Analytics News

#artificialintelligence

Data science courses are among the most popular globally, with a high likelihood of career prospects, according to the volume of internet searches for skill development or job-oriented courses. Data scientists are needed everywhere. The most fundamental prerequisite for developing any technology in this era of smart technology (which includes smartphones, televisions, watches, etc.) is data, and these data scientists serve as the foundation for machine learning and artificial intelligence specialists. A data scientist will also assist organizations in managing serious crises and assisting them in their resolution through the use of data-driven judgments. Data science is the study of analyzing and obtaining organized, unstructured, and noisy data from various sources. This analysis aids businesses in forecasting outcomes and making data-driven decisions. Data that adheres to a data model, has a clearly defined structure, follows a persistent order, and is simple for both humans and programmes to retrieve is said to be structured data. Unstructured data is not structured in a way that has been predefined, notwithstanding the possibility that it has a native, internal structure. The data is kept in its original format; there is no data model. Media, text, internet activity, monitoring photos, and more are typical instances of large datasets. Data Science – The MUST KNOW to become a successful Data Scientist! How can software engineers and data scientists work together? Corrupted data, a type of unstructured data, is another name for noisy data. It also includes any information that a user's system is unable to effectively analyze and interpret. If handled improperly, noisy data can have a negative impact on the outcomes of any data analysis and skew conclusions. Sometimes, statistical analysis is employed to remove noise from noisy data.

This article was written by Manav Subodh, co-founder of 1M1B and global senior fellow at the Innovation Acceleration Group, University of California, Berkeley. Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a technology of the future – it is well and truly here. In many ways, it is already shaping human interactions by getting out of research labs and entering the real world. And it is changing the world as we know it. It could not be more apparent that AI can change the world for the better – from creating new healthcare solutions to designing hospitals of the future, improving farming and food supply, helping refugees acclimatise to new environments, enhancing educational resources and access, and even cleaning our oceans, air and water supply.


Readings in Medical Artificial Intelligence: The First Decade

William J. Clancey

AI Classics

A survey of early work exploring how AI can be used in medicine, with somewhat more technical expositions than in the complementary volume Artificial Intelligence in Medicine."Each chapter is preceded by a brief introduction that outlines our view of its contribution to the field, the reason it was selected for inclusion in this volume, an overview of its content, and a discussion of how the work evolved after the article appeared and how it relates to other chapters in the book.

Raffaello D'Andrea heads ETH Zurich's Flying Machine Arena Arena is at forefront of research into autonomous flying robots Quadrocopters learn amazing throwing and catching maneuvers D'Andrea says technology education needs to promote "unconstrained creation" D'Andrea says technology education needs to promote "unconstrained creation" Professor Raffaello D'Andrea isn't short of admirers for his autonomous flying robots and the amazing tricks they perform. Every week, he receives a flood of e-mails from excited people telling him how to use them, he says. "Folks have contacted me about using them to deliver burritos and pizzas, paint walls, do search and rescue, monitor the environment, flying cameras for movies ... It's just endless," D'Andrea says. "I'm not going to pass judgment on whether they are good or bad ... my role is to show people what is possible." It appears those possibilities are growing by the day at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) where D'Andrea leads a team of researchers at the Flying Machine Arena (FMA).
