A German artist who won the Sony World Photography Award has refused to accept his prize after revealing his black and white portrait of two women was in fact created by AI. Boris Eldagsen tricked competition organisers with his entry, Pseudomnesia: The Electrician - a haunting close-up of two women in a grainy sepia which won the creative open category last week. He stunned organisers by rejecting the award, claiming that'AI is not photography' - as he hopes to create a discussion surrounding the future of art. The World Photography Organisation, who run the Sony awards, told MailOnline that they had been deliberately mis-led by Eldagsen about the extent to which AI would be involved. In a statement on his website, Eldagsen, 52, described this as a'historic moment', adding: 'I applied as a cheeky monkey, to find out if the competitions are prepared for AI images to enter.

The ROS Awards are the Oscars of the ROS world! The intention of these awards is to express recognition for contributions to the ROS community and the development of the ROS-based robot industry, and to help those contributions gain awareness. Measures have been taken to prevent as much as possible batch voting from a single person. The Best ROS Software category comprises any software that runs with ROS. It can be a package published on the ROS.org repo of just a software that uses ROS libraries to produce an input.

… awards first place to See-Thru-AI, a Chicago startup that helps companies using AI and machine learning to navigate complex regulations.

DEEP AERO has announced today that it will give passenger drones as a reward to three lucky winners from the pool of all contributors who contribute 1 ETH or more to its pre-sale campaign, subject to the pre-sale campaign getting fully subscribed*. "The use of unmanned aerial vehicles is increasing exponentially," says Mr. Gurmeet Singh, CEO of DEEP AERO. "We're heading towards a future in which millions of drones will fly billions of flights. At some point in the not-too-distant future, fleets of commercial drones are expected to swarm across the skies. Current airspace management and air traffic flow management systems don't have the capabilities to handle the type of operations relevant to drones. In addition, the anticipated traffic density of drones is far beyond the capabilities of current air traffic management systems."

The team's software was able to find, recognize, and retrieve all six items used in the preliminary round. Because there was no other competitor for the final round, it was turned into a demonstration with four items found and retrieved. NOMAD is a PENTIUM computer with a hard drive.

Effectiveness included safety, coverage of the reception area, recognition of humans, offering of hors d'oeuvres, and detection of need for refills; entertainment value was determined by popular vote. To fully exploit the talents of our team, drawn from Brandeis's multirobot Interaction Lab and robotic theater troupe Ullanta Performance Robotics, we entered a team of three dramatically interacting robots. At this height, they could neither effectively serve nor avoid being tripped over in the crowd, and our participation in the Find-Life-on-Mars event dictated that we be able to switch software and hardware to turn a Mars exploration team into a domestic service staff in fewer than five minutes. We contrived a simple manipulator able to physically offer snacks at a convenient height by attaching a 3-foot pole to the back of each robot. On top of this pole was hinged a rigid tube with a snack container at one end and a serving bowl at the other (see figure).

IAAI has been held annually since 1989 and has been collocated with the national (or international) AI conference since 1991. The proceedings were published in book form through 1992. Since 1993, a conference proceedings volume has been published, and selected papers have been republished as articles in AI Magazine. This introduction briefly discusses the 1995 IAAI award winners and presents goals and plans for next year's conference. IAAI features real, deployed AI applications, selected for their innovation.
