Google forms an external council to foster ‘responsible’ AI

[ad_1] The current advisors include academics focused both on technical aspects of AI (such as computational mathematics and drones) as well as experts in ethics, privacy, and political policy. There’s also an international focus, with people ranging from as far afield as Hong Kong and South Africa. ATEAC will hold its first meeting in April, […]

MIT’s AI can train neural networks faster than ever before

[ad_1] Today, AI can design machine learning systems known as neural networks in a process called neural architecture search (NAS). But this technique requires a considerable amount of resources like time, processing power and money. Even for Google, producing a single convolution neural network — often used for image classification — takes 48,000 GPU hours. […]

White House launches site to highlight AI initiatives

[ad_1] Now that the US government has been ordered to prioritize AI, it's launching a website to promote its AI efforts. The newly available AI.gov showcases a number of initiatives over the years, including Obama-era moves like the strategic AI research p… [ad_2] Source link

NVIDIA AI turns crude doodles into photorealistic landscapes

[ad_1] The software shows just how far neural networks have come. In the past, apps like Prisma have utilized AI-powered filters to turn your photos into paintings that evoke art masters like Van Gogh or Picasso. Both Facebook and Google also brought the so-called “style transfer” feature to their respective platforms. But NVIDIA’s new tool […]

NVIDIA’s $99 Jetson Nano is an AI computer for DIY enthusiasts

[ad_1] The kit can run Linux out of the box, and supports a raft of AI frameworks (including, of course, NVIDIA’s own). It comes equipped with 4GB of RAM, gigabit Ethernet and the I/O you’d need for cameras and other attachments. Price, unsurprisingly, is the main hook. While the Nano isn’t nearly as powerful as […]

Fan uses AI to remaster 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine' in HD

[ad_1] Unfortunately, you're highly unlikely to see an official remaster of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Its special effects were shot on video rather than added to film, making an already daunting remastering process that much more difficult — and since i… [ad_2] Source link

Microsoft's AI app for the blind helps you explore photos with touch

[ad_1] Microsoft's computer vision app for the blind and poor-sighted, Seeing AI, just became more useful for those moments when you're less interested in navigating the world than learning about what's on your phone. The company has updated the iOS app wi… [ad_2] Source link

Palmer Luckey’s firm wins Pentagon drone AI contract

[ad_1] Anduril is most commonly known for its existing system, Lattice. It also uses machine learning, in this case to identify objects for the sake of border monitoring (such as a pitch for a virtual border wall) and battlefield awareness. In the long run, Luckey hopes to give soldiers “perfect omniscience” where they’re rarely surprised […]

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez believes we should be excited about automated jobs

[ad_1] When asked her thoughts on machines replacing humans in the workplace, Ocasio-Cortez said people should be excited about automated jobs, but they can’t because of bigger, systematic problems. “We should not be haunted by the specter of being automated out of work,” she said. “We should not feel nervous about the toll booth collector […]
